The flavour is well balanced, perfect for anything, from cooked dishes to salads. Also known in the US as Mr. Stripy. This is an English heritage variety & perhaps the prettiest of the salad types you can grow. Productive start early & continuing even after the weather cools. Indeterminate 60-70 days from transplant.
Sow in a good mix of soil and lightly cover – keep moist but not wet. To transplant, plant deeper, up to the 1st set of true leaves, this increases rooting & speeds maturity. keep fertilized & evenly watered.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
