Salad Greens

Most of our traditional salad crops thrive in the cooler weather of spring and fall. In spring the warming weather will cause bolting for many salad greens like mizuna, lettuce and spinach. In fall, growth will slow as daylight hours drop, but many greens will survive frosty weather, with some cold hardy greens like spinach and kale lasting well into the winter.
 This collections includes: Collards, Kale, Lettuce, Mizuna, Swiss Chard, Tatsoi, Cress and more.
