How To Grow, Timing: Sow corn salad in early spring and again in September for fall and winter harvests. Ideal temperature: 5-18°C. Seeds sprout best in cool, moist soil. Seeds germinate in 7-21 days.
How To Grow, Starting: Sow 3 seeds per inch 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin to 5cm apart.
How To Grow, Growing: Grow in light, fertile soil with a pH range of 6.5-7.0. Corn salad grows best on fertilizer remaining in the bed after summer crops have been harvested, so it’s perfect for following any crop that ends in September, like bush beans or lettuce. Try filling a raised bed with corn salad for fall & winter harvests: Fifty feet of planted row will provide a big bowl of tender leaves harvested once a week.
How To Grow, Harvest: Delicately bunch small groups of leaves together and cut with a sharp knife 2-5cm above the soil, so the plants can grow back. Or sow very densely, and gradually thin the plants throughout winter, cutting them at the soil line. Corn salad leaves frequently come in contact with soil, so rinse them thoroughly.
