Growing Non-GMO Braising Mix Mixed Greens Vegetable Seeds

To grow these mixed greens from seed, start by selecting a well-drained garden bed or container with full sun to partial shade. Prepare the soil by amending it with compost or well-rotted manure to ensure it is rich and fertile. Sow the seeds directly into the soil about 0.25 inches deep, and keep the rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Gently water the area to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. These greens prefer cool temperatures, so sow the seeds in early spring for a summer harvest or late summer for a fall harvest.

The seeds germinate quickly, usually within 5-10 days. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow enough space for mature plants to develop. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing period, and mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks to encourage lush growth.

Braising Mix Mixed Greens are low-maintenance but may require protection from pests like aphids and flea beetles. Use row covers or organic insecticidal soap as needed. Regularly check the plants for signs of disease or pest damage. Rotate your crops annually to prevent soil-borne diseases and pest buildup. Companion planting with onions or garlic can help deter pests naturally, promoting a healthier crop.

Mixed Greens for Braising in the Vegetable Garden

In the vegetable garden, Braising Mix Mixed Greens can serve multiple purposes beyond providing fresh greens. They are excellent for interplanting with slower-growing crops, acting as a living mulch that suppresses weeds. The dense foliage can help retain soil moisture and create a microclimate that benefits nearby plants. Additionally, some of the spicy varieties in the mix, such as mustard greens, can repel certain pests, making them useful as a natural pest deterrent. These greens can also be grown as microgreens or sprouts for an added nutritious boost to salads and sandwiches.

Harvesting Mixed Greens for Braising

Braising Mix Mixed Greens can be harvested as soon as the leaves are large enough to eat, typically 30 days after sowing for baby greens. For mature leaves, wait 45-60 days. Harvest by cutting the outer leaves about an inch above the base, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. This method, known as “cut-and-come-again,” encourages continuous production. Avoid harvesting in the heat of the day to prevent wilting, and instead, pick them early in the morning or late in the evening.

About Mixed Greens for Braising Garden Seeds

Succession planting every 2-3 weeks can provide a continuous harvest throughout the growing season. To extend the harvest into warmer months, use shade cloth to reduce heat stress and prevent bolting.

Braising Mix Mixed Greens are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and iron. They are low in calories and high in antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any diet.
