What type of lettuce greens are these?

yanyan88April 8, 2013

Hi all, we have several seed packets of different lettuce mixes but I looked through everything and couldn't seem to figure out what these are! Can someone help name some of them so I know which seed packets they came from? Thank you so much!

To the right you have russian kale (frilly leaves). there are two types of lettuce, both light green, one a oakleaf type (at 7 o' clock). the bronzed ones and the largest leaves are some type of mustard, the largest probably similar to komatsuna. some seedlings do not have true leaves yet.

The ferny bluish ones on the upper right are kale. The green ones with reddish edges are lettuce. So are the frilly light green ones on the lower left. Not sure what the rounded leaves with white midribs are. Maybe something mustardy like bok choy.

You put way too many seeds in this pot, unless you want to harvest them as baby greens. Each lettuce plant would like a pot the size of this one. The others will need individual pots that are bigger.

The round ones would appear to me to be spinach.

Double post with Name That Plant.

This is a mesclun mix ie various salad plants designed to be cut continuously as baby leaves, not to be grown as full sized individual plants, so the pot is adequate imo.

THANK YOU so much! What's weird is that I don't see a packet in my seed box with this mix, I wonder if it's just missing somehow. THANK YOU!

And yes, I grow these as baby greens for salads :) I have 20+ other pots and just didn't realize what these were.

Thanks!
