  • 2. **Sowing:** Sow the seeds directly into the garden or containers in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Make shallow furrows or scatter the seeds evenly.
  • 3. **Spacing:** Leave about 6 inches between rows and thin the seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they reach a few inches in height.
  • 4. **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plants to prevent fungal diseases.
  • 5. **Fertilizing:** Use a balanced organic fertilizer to provide essential nutrients. Follow the recommended dosage on the product label.
  • 6. **Harvesting:** Begin harvesting when the greens are about 4-6 inches tall, typically 3-4 weeks after planting. You can use scissors to snip the leaves, allowing the plants to continue growing for additional harvests.
  • 7. **Culinary Uses:** Spicy Mesclun Italian Mixed Greens add a zesty, peppery flavor to salads and sandwiches. Their vibrant colors and textures make them an excellent addition to any culinary creation.
  • 8. **Pest and Disease Control:** Keep an eye out for common garden pests like aphids and caterpillars. Use organic pest control methods if necessary. These greens are generally resistant to many diseases.
