50 days to harvest Valerianella locusta

Long loved in Europe and just making its way to American salads, mache is as delectable as it is hardy. We are always thrilled to have this mild, aromatic and marvelously succulent green in February! Our friends at Turtle Tree Biodynamic Seed Initiative have found this to be the most hardy of all varieties they’ve trialed over the years, consistently overwintering uncovered outdoors for the last 17 years. We couldn’t agree more, she is so deliciously resilient! At Fruition, we sow mache in mid-September and savor the harvest all winter long and rejoice when the spring re-growth bounces back with ebullience; under hoops and floating row cover mache harvests are even more abundant.

    It’s January in zone 5 and these babies are still going strong with no cover, after some of them self-seeded in the summer. They are the only green the woodchuck didn’t touch, which is weird, because they are mild and succulent and really quite choice. I think these will be a permanent fixture in our garden.

Organic New York Hardy Mache

Direct Seed Only: plant only in cool soil (41-68 F); seed will not germinate in soil above 68 F. Sow 1” apart in rows 4-18” apart; germination is slow, 10-14 days. Weed well. Cut individual leaves or rosettes (entire plants) at the root when 2-3” tall. Overwinters easily, quickly re-growing as snows melt. Cold-frames make winter harvest easier.
