Mache - Corn - Salad - Big Seeded
The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, 'Valerianella locusta', has the mildest flavor and softest texture of any salad green. The leaves are so tender they "Melt" in your mouth. The big-seeded variety handles the spring/summer heat without getting bitter which is great for north or south gardens. This old garden green, enjoyed in the late stone age, contrasts nicely with sharp-flavored greens in salads and tastes delightful cooked quickly like spinach. It combines nicely with fruits and vegetables and makes a really wonderful salad in and by itself. Light peanut flavored or light vinaigrette salad dressing is recommended. Mache is a cool season annual. The dark green spoon-shaped leaves are gathered into a rosette. It is a very attractive plant in the garden. This vegetable grows to 1 inch in diameter, but it can be harvested at almost any size. In northern climate, plant in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. In warm climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. The soil should be fertile, moist, and well drained. This plant is also known as Lambs Lettuce or Rapunzel.

Melon - Honey Dew - Sweet Delight
The Melon HoneyDew Sweet Delight, 'Cucumis melo-Inodorous Group (Hybrid)', has a really wonderful flavor that is sweet and juicy.

This vine ripened HoneyDew has an unbelievable sweet, almost winelike flavor. Sweet Delight is a 8 x 7 inch melon weighing in between 7 and 8 pounds. It has a light green flesh and exterior. Melons are an annual warm season plant and they are very sensitive to frost. Melons prefer light well drained soil. Melons are heavy feeders. Fertilize lightly every six weeks after initial sowing. Plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or when soil temperatures begin to warm up. - Category: Home Family - Garden - Seeds Item: 453451701
