Salad Mix Seeds by Seedball
Growing your own salad is even easier with seedballs and a great activity for all the family.
Seedballs are easy to sow and grow, they make seed sowing much easier for children and people with limited hand movement. Simply scatter the Seedballs from the Salad Mix Seedball tin in a sunny spot where you want them to grow and give them a good water. Keep an eye out for the seedlings and keep them moist but not wet until they start to grow. If you want more control, sow in autumn or winter, or want to make a salad container, or teach your little ones, you can sow 4 to 6 seedballs in a pot, give them a water and keep them moist but not wet and watch them grow in to tiny seedlings and then into yummy salad veg.
Sowing Times – All year round, outdoors in spring and summer or indoors on a windowsill autumn and winter
Picking times – All year round
You can let a couple of plants grow on to flower to help pollinators
The Main Plant Species Included
Cress (Greek – Lepidium sativum)
A versatile salad item with a nice peppery flavour.
Kale (Red russian – Brassica oleracea)
Kale is also one of the most nutritious leafy vegetables you can find. Packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and iron! It can be eaten raw (best when leaves are young or steamed) or added to stir fry recipes.
Mustard (Green frills – Brassica juncea)
Spice up your salads and sandwiches with these bright green shoots which become serrated as they grow.
Mustard (Red frills – Brassica juncea)
The attractive and sweet leaves are finely serrated when young, then look more like mizuna when mature. The fringer burgundy-red leaves add the taste of mustard and horseradish to salads, stir fry recipes and sandwidches.
Salad rocket (Dentellata – Eruca vesicaria ssp. sativa)
A lovely peppery flavour to salad, the younger leaves are milder, more tender and palatable. Leaves can also be lightly cooked as a delicious spinach substitute, added to sauces, stir fried or sautéed.
Recycling
The Salad Mix Seedball tin is ideal for reusing for keeping seeds and small bits and pieces or can be recycled at most recycling centres.
All our wildflower seed is for garden use only, not for scattering in the wild.
