I bought some seeds of "mesclun mix" sallad on ebay, i have never growed lettuce before, so i was just wonder can anybody identify this sallad? It look like two different varieties. Thank you

I think Musclun is a mix.

mesclun means mixture. It's probably several different salad leaves, maybe lettuce, rocket, mustard - depends on who the supplier is.Comment

The two leaves on the left look like mizuna, the one on the right is purple mustard.Comment

i eat them, and they tasted great, just the stem of purple mustard was a bit sour. I hope they are as edible as young as they are as full grown/mature?

I grow Mesclun all year round, don't forget its 'cut and come again'. Grown in 6"x6"x18" troughs I have used one since January, replanted today whilst trough number 2 will start cutting tomorrow.
I like the variety of tastes, plus it is very easy to grow.Potty by name Potty by nature.

You need to eat the leaves small, don't let them get too big or they will be chewy and hot.Blogging at..... www.thecynicalgardener.wordpress.comComment
