• Sowing: This mix adores the sun and the gentle breezes of a cool season. Sow your seeds in rows 45 cm apart, about 3 mm deep, just as the earth awakens in the spring. Sow every two weeks for a continuous feast.
• Care: These plants will grow best in a rich, organic, well-drained soil. Keep them hydrated with a steady hand, for a true Italian harvest demands passion and care.
• Harvesting: Harvest your salad greens by either pulling the entire plant, or by lovingly cutting the leaves from the main stem, at least 2.5 cm above the base. This will allow the plants to sprout new leaves, ensuring the bounty never ends!
• Germination: Watch your garden come alive in approximately 7 days.

For a true taste of la dolce vita, this mix is an essential. It’s not just a salad; it’s an experience. The boldness of the mustard, the sweet notes of the fennel, the peppery bite of the arugula, each leaf plays its part in a beautiful symphony of flavours. This is the secret to an authentic Italian salad, and it’s all in one packet.
