Sow seeds about 3 mm (⅛ inch) deep in fertile, well-drained soil and keep cool and consistently moist until germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide seedlings with plenty of bright light if started indoors. Before planting outdoor transplants, gradually harden off the seedlings. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and rich, amended soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBroadcast seeds evenly for a dense patch or sow in shallow rows spaced about 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) apart. Greens prefer cooler temperatures and may bolt or turn bitter in intense summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater consistently and evenly, ensuring the shallow root system stays moist, especially during active leaf growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Mesclun Salad Mix in Canada\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMesclun mix thrives in the cool spring and fall weather characteristic of Canadian climates. Canadian gardeners benefit from starting seeds early indoors or using succession planting every few weeks to extend the harvest before intense summer temperatures arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse shade cloths during unexpectedly hot summer afternoons to protect sensitive plants from bolting, or time crops for a robust autumn harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailed instructions covering seed starting, transplanting, spacing, watering, fertilizing, harvesting, and pest management, read our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/1214\/files\/How_To_Grow_Lettuce_-_Complete_Growing_Guide.pdf?v=1791044893\" title=\"How To Grow Lettuce in Canada | Complete Growing Guide\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Guide to Growing Lettuce in Canada\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMesclun Mix Growing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
