There’s nothing like the taste of a salad fresh from your garden. Not many people know that salad is one of the best values you can get from your MinifarmBox™ because you can cut it when it’s young and it will come back 2 or 3 times. That’s what baby greens are.

Mesclun Salad Mix

Mesclun Salad Mix

This Seeds of Change Classic is an abundant potpourri of color, shape, taste, and texture.  Harvest a new combination each day.  Early greens (Arugula, Purple Wave Mustard, Persian Garden Cress, Red Russian Kale, and Très Fin Endive) complement an assortment of lettuces (Brune D’hiver, Merlot, Red Salad Bowl, Formidana, and Simpson Black-Seeded).

Arugula

Arugula (Eruca vesicaria var. sativa)

Arugula is one of my favorite things to eat. There is something about the unique spicy flavor that makes it so irresistible that it rarely gets from my garden to the kitchen before it’s eaten.
This classic variety has uniquely flavored, deeply lobed 3-6″ leaves that get spicier as they get older.  Adds zest to salad mixes, or use on its own.  Comes up fast and is super easy to grow even in a shady garden.
