Growing Information
Scientific name
Valerianella locusta
Culture
Mâche, also called corn salad or lamb's lettuce, likes cool or mild weather. Sow whenever soil is between 5 and 20°C (41–68°F); above about 20°C the seed goes dormant, so do not sow into warm soil. In the North it can be grown year-round in the field, cold greenhouses and high tunnels; in the South it is an open-field winter crop. Germination is slow, 10–14 days.
Direct sowing
Sow 1" apart in rows 4–18" apart, and thin to 3".
Harvest
Cut whole young rosettes at the root when 2–3" tall, for salads on their own or in a mix.
Seeding rate
At 36 seeds per foot in 12" rows: about 1 oz. per 750 ft., or 5¼ lb. per acre. Many growers sow up to twice as thick.
Seeds per lb.
About 135,000 on average.
