Greens 'Premium Greens Mix'
Brassica spp.
Ready in as little as 21 days! An amazing textural palette of greens and reds in an array of shapes. The flavors are equally diverse—spicy to mild to slightly sweet. Sexier vegetables might steal the spotlight, but greens are where it’s at! Why settle for store-bought greens when you can have fresh, organic, and nutritious salads right from your backyard? The key to keeping baby greens extra fresh is harvesting first thing in the morning and immediately submerge in cool water. Whip out that salad spinner and spin to dry.
Packet contains approximately 500 seeds.
