Base's cruciferous mesclun mix brings together several leafy cabbages and close relatives from the large Brassicaceae family, chosen for their tender young leaves and rapid growth. In a corner of the vegetable garden, it forms in a few weeks a carpet of varied greens, with more or less distinct shapes, reminiscent of the age-old act of harvesting a handful of leaves with a knife for the day's cooking.

In the garden, this mix thrives in welcoming, cool soil , where the gardener can observe its consistent regrowth week after week. Harvested young, it provides crisp leaves for salads; a little more mature, it becomes a nourishing bouquet for quick stir-fries. Its diversity strengthens the resilience of the living garden and naturally complements the seasonal cycle in the vegetable patch.
