How To Grow French Salad Mix From Seed: Sow the seeds thinly in shallow drills, and cover lightly with soil. Keep the area moist throughout germination. Sowing this mix in pots is also possible. Germination should take 7 to 14 days depending on the temperature.

The baby leaves of the plants can be picked and eaten in as little as 4 weeks during Summer months. Harvest all of the leaves when they are at the baby leaf stage if this is your preference, or thin them to allow some of the plants to grow bigger.

When the plants are established, cut and use the outside leaves of the plants first to promote regrowth.

Pick regularly to encourage new growth and enjoy fresh, colourful leaves from spring right through to autumn.
