I once asked a farmer why it cost more for baby green salads than a matured lettuce. His answer the extra care they put into from sowing to watering â€“ they use fine sprinkler and just the right amount of water pressure to harvesting until getting it to the market. Just like human babies hence the name â€“ their required special care otherwise the environment and improper handling will ruin them.

I agree, Fresh Field has a brilliant e-mail address. Don’t you sometimes want to put together a list of all these hilarious and occasionally cheesy e-mail addresses?

There’s a huge chunk of people who often wonder how garden shops, greenhouses, and nurseries successfully grow lively, healthy potted plants. The answer is on how and where you plant the seeds.

Ordinary/plain garden soil is prone to soil-borne diseases, dirt, good and bad microorganisms, even bits of trash. Use Organic Soil / Soilless Potting Mixes to give your seeds the right and fresh start.

Hi MM…Here’s a few hints to give you a head start..Lettuce is a cool season vegetable.Here in Vancouver, B.C. I plant them in the spring and again in late fall. So you might NOT want to plant them in the height of summer there or else they will BOLT and sometimes make them bitter. Also , I have two award-winning dressings that I think you might enjoy…a spicy sesame ginger and a raspberry honey vinaigrette. Give me a shout if you want the recipe for those and my pride and joy(next to my husband and two boys) which is my Grand Award winning chocolate cake from 1995 Chocolympics held here in Vancouver.

Betty Q., gosh, thank you so much for that kind offer. I actually came home from the New York trip with over 20 seed packets with the intention of just that – growing my own. But I have a bit of a black thumb so lets see if I am able to nurture anything to my our salad bowls! :) But thanks for that offer!

Mesclun practically can be grown even in pots…makes a nice addition to container gardening. It’s what I call “cut and grow back” plant. As soon as they’re about 4 inches high, cut them back to soil level, and you get a second harvest in a few weeks!!! My sister always go back home 3 or 4x a year. E-mail me if you would like to grow them and I shall send a gorgeous seed selection yielding an array of colors and textures. I usually make my own gourmet mix or if you have a preference, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Myra, I have written about Edwin of Fresh Field before...they have the most wonderful microgreens in Manila, of which you only need a few grams literally to garnish a plate, see links. They also have baby carrots sometimes, roma tomatoes, great romaine, and other greens... a total find. I love their stuff and have mentioned them often... And P.S., don't they have the most outrageous email address, in the comment above?
