A salad doesn't have to consist of the usual classic lettuce varieties. It can be enhanced in both colour and flavour with other leafy vegetables and herbs. For the 'Spicy Salad Garden', we’ve put together a colourful and tasty salad mix that’s easy to grow and can be harvested over a long period.
All varieties in this set are suitable for outdoor cultivation, as well as for growing on balconies or in raised beds. They can be sown throughout the gardening season from March to September and harvested as baby leaf salads. For this, seeds are sown more densely in rows (around 3-5 cm apart), and the young salad leaves can be picked after just six weeks.
