Baby Leaf Sallad

Latin: Lactuca Sativa
Swedish: Sallat, Baby Leaf
English: Baby Leaf Salad

Producer: Bröderna Nelson, purchased at ICA Maxi 7/6-2011

Salad is supposed to be watered from below. Right now all watering is done automatically with sprinklers, which could be a problem. This salad looked colorful, so we just took it.

Planted 8/6-2011 (See scheme for raised bed)
The raised bed contained for the most soil from the EcoCenter (low quality soil), but it was topped with high qualitative soil for vegetable cultivations from Hasselfors (2,5 bags).
13/6-2011: The whole row seems to have come up already with small leaves on this day, but I did not check before that as I was on a short vacation. So they do really grow very quick it seems.

Producer's Description
This salad is a mixture of salad types: 'Amerikanischer Brauner', 'Salad Bowl', 'Little Leprechaun', 'Red Salad Bowl', 'Rouge Grenobloise' and 'Favourite'. Should be cultivated in rows near each other.
Producer's Instructions
Can be planted early, basically as soon as the ground is not frozen any longer. It is possible to cultivate it in different heats until August. The salad seeds actually need temperate climate, not over 20 degrees to grow. It enjoys loose soil rich in organic material, but it can grow basically in most soils. Needs regular watering.

Depth: 0,5cm
Distance between plants: 2-3cm
Distance between rows: 10-12cm
Full sun to half sun
Harvest: About 1,5 month after sowing, which can mean from May to October
