HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Because Dutch Corn Salad seeds grows best in cool weather, sowing it in the spring or fall brings the best results; a late August or September planting results in both fall and spring growth. Direct sow in full sun and rich soil 1/2" deep and 1" apart in rows 8-10" apart. For smaller plants, space them 1/2" apart. Germination should take place within 10-14 days, but will not occur if the soil temperature rises above 70 degrees F. Plant a new crop every 2 weeks for a continual harvest. In climates with winters above 5 degrees F, Dutch Corn Salad seeds will produce greens all winter long; colder climates can grow it with the protection of a cold frame or mulch.
Growing: A layer of mulch will help conserve necessary moisture and control weeds. Watch out for snails and slugs, which will damage the Corn Salad plants.
Harvesting: The first leaves should be ready to harvest in 10-12 weeks. Harvest individual leaves as needed, or harvest the entire rosette by cutting it at the soil level. Young leaves about 3" have the best taste and tenderness; when the plant begins to send up a stalk, the entire plant should be harvested since the leaves will begin to grow bitter. For new growth, leave at least an inch of stem above the soil. Corn salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Seed Saving: When the seed pods begin to ripen to a light brown, pull the entire plant and spread it out to dry in a protected location out of direct sunlight. When the pods have completely dried, shake the lamb's lettuce seeds out. Store Dutch Corn Salad seeds in a cool, dry place.

Dutch Corn Salad
Yesterday I received your packets of Corn salad. I especially love the new packaging. Since the temp. was 74 degrees I planted a few rows in my little garden and hoping they will sprout soon. We love corn salad because it is very winter hardy and keeps on growing during the cooler season here in Texas.
