Salad Leaves Mixed provides different types, colours and textures and a longer harvest from one sowing. Salad Leaves Mixed is ideal for small gardens, providing a great selection in a small space.

Sow seeds thinly from spring to mid summer 6mm (in) deep in drills 38cm (15in) apart. A moist, well drained soil which has had plenty of compost during the previous autumn is best. In very hot weather it is best to water the soil before sowing, and to make sowings during the early afternoon.

Sow seeds in early autumn for overwintering.

Thin out gradually to 3cm (12in) apart.

Harvest when the head feels firm when gently pressed.
