seedv13	Lettuce Mesclun Q Melody Organic OOPS SOLD OUT!!! This exquisite organic mix of mesclun greens was chosen by Chef John Platt, owner of Q’s restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. He cooks some of the best food in Boulder (and in the world for that matter)! That is why we trusted him to choose this salad mix. You will be very impressed by the mixture of flavors, textures, and colors that are as varied as the acclaimed cuisine of Q’s restaurant. Chef Platt recommends harvesting this mix as baby greens, shearing off the leaves to 1” above ground when they are 4” to 6” tall. However, you can also harvest mature plants up to 10” tall or pick individual leaves anytime. The earlier the harvest, the more tender the leaves. Plants that are cut no shorter than 2” above ground level will also re-grow new leaves. An excellent container variety, you can grow this gourmet mix just about anywhere that receives at least a half day of sunlight. When to start outside: RECOMMENDED. Early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before average last frost, and successive plantings thereafter every 3 weeks until 2 weeks before the first fall frost. (Skip very hot summers.) USDA zone 8 or warmer: sow in fall for winter harvest. When to start inside: Not recommended. (Since lettuce mixes are often grown for baby leaves, it’s easier to sow directly outdoors rather than trying to grow individual plants inside and transplanting.) Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: Barely cover seed with soil or plant no deeper than 1/8”. Light and cool temperatures increase germination. When thinning lettuce, use the thinnings in salads. It can be planted in rows, but group plantings take up less space and are attractive. Double or triple rows also work
