I'm putting together some mesclun mixes for my fall crop and wondering what I should try mixing in their.

Anyone want to share the ingredients of their best salad and green mesclun mixes??

    This year I tried Johnny's Spectrum & Elegance Green Mix. Very nice, quick growing and good for about two cuttings before reseeding. Also added in white leaf Amaranth and curly cress.
    Hope that helps

    I do a mix of 10 to 20 different lettuces plus arugula, mizuna, red giant mustard and tat soi. I will add baby spinach, kale, chard, etc if they are available.
