Valerianella locusta
(60 days) Open pollinated.

Vigorous large-leaf type is suitable for sowing in spring for an early summer harvest. Bryan O’Hara at Tobacco Road Farm in Lebanon, Conn., says “always a favorite in winter salads.” Weaver traces this strain back to the 1840s, but for centuries prior to that corn salad was gathered in the wild.

Additional Information

Greens

  • Days to maturity are from emergence after direct seeding.
  • All greens are open-pollinated except where noted.

Culture: When to harvest greens? Research from trials conducted in England and Kenya showed looseleaf lettuce, red chard and arugula harvested in the evening had a longer shelf life than when picked in the morning.

Mâche

About 10,000-10,600 seeds/oz.

Also known as Corn Salad, Lamb’s Lettuce, Field Salad and Fetticus, mâche has a unique nutty flavor.

Culture: Mâche seed requires 10–14 days to germinate. Never start in soil temperatures above 68° as excessive warmth triggers seed dormancy.

From Susan Lipari of Alpine, NY: “I grew up in Germany, and mâche was a staple winter salad green…Even here, in upstate NY, Zone 5, it is quite untouched by the cold of winter. I harvest mâche all through the winter, sometimes scraping the snow off the rosettes and blowing on my freezing hands…In the spring, mâche begins to bolt…In late September…the seeds germinate and begin to grow. By the middle or end of October I can start to harvest the new crop…No Thanksgiving…dinner would be complete in my family without ‘Rapunzel’ salad.”
