A riot of colors and textures to satisfy your spice tooth! You’ll harvest leaves from lime green to deep purple, from flat to hyper-frill, from sweet dijon to knock-your-socks-off. We love this Organic Mighty Spicy Mesclun Mix with goat cheese and caramelized pecans! With ample water and fertility, you’ll easily enjoy three harvests of this cut-and-come-again mix in gardens, raised beds or containers; under hoops and floating row cover, we’re easily enjoying this mix well into December when sown in September.
