Cultivate a vibrant mix of baby greens with West Coast Seeds - Fast & Furious Blend Lettuce. This certified organic blend includes a diverse selection of our babyleaf lettuce varieties, offering an appealing contrast in color, flavor, and texture. Market gardeners and home growers alike will appreciate the uniform, fast growth rate and impressive disease resistance. Perfect for hydroponics, aquaponics, conventional tray growing, and patio containers, the Fast & Furious Blend is ideal for organic market growers, CSA boxes, and restaurant supplies.

Key Features:

  • Certified Organic: Ensuring the highest standards of organic growing.
  • Rapid Growth: Matures in just 35-40 days.
  • Babyleaf Variety: Perfect for fresh, tender baby greens.
  • Versatile Growing: Suitable for hydroponics, aquaponics, and tray growing.
  • Disease Resistant: Robust varieties with excellent resistance.

Growing Information:

  • Season & Zone: Cool season, full sun to partial shade.
  • Timing: Sow seeds every three weeks from just before the last frost date until the end of summer for a continuous harvest. Provide frost protection with a cloche or heavy row cover when frost looms in the fall. Many mesclun types and mixes will continue to grow all winter in mild climates.

Planting Instructions:

  • Starting: Plant in a block or wide row. Sprinkle seeds evenly over prepared, moist soil, spacing about 1cm (½”) apart. Cover lightly with soil and firm them in. For container growing, choose containers at least 10cm (4") deep. Avoid over-planting for best results.

Growing Tips:

  • Soil Requirements: Use moderately fertile soil, especially for multiple harvests. Dig in 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10') of row. For containers, use a peat or coir-based mix with added compost.
  • Watering: Water regularly. If growth slows after harvest, use kelp or fish-based fertilizer for a nutrient boost.

Harvesting Tips:

  • Method 1: Use scissors to cut greens 2-5cm (1-2") from the ground when plants are 10-15cm (3-4") tall.
  • Method 2: Pick individual leaves as needed. The first cutting may contain more brassicas, but subsequent cuts will see the lettuce catch up. The salad greens will regrow for a second harvest in 2-3 weeks.

Diseases & Pests:

  • Common Pests: Slugs love baby greens and flea beetles are attracted to brassica leaves. Take appropriate measures to protect your crops.

Grow the West Coast Seeds - Fast & Furious Blend Lettuce for a continuous supply of fresh, organic baby greens. Enjoy the fast growth, vibrant mix, and excellent disease resistance that makes this blend perfect for both market growers and home gardeners.
