This review is from: Mache Gala Seeds (Misc.)

I first had mache (aka lamb lettuce or corn salad) lettuce when my sister brought it for a family pot luck gathering--she got the leaves from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's--and they were so good, different from your run-of-the-mill salad greens. I don't have outside land and it's against the law to have windowboxes (earthquake safety) so I thought maybe I could grow some in a large flower pot, just enough so I can have a side salad every few weeks or so maybe. Seeds were not available locally so I went to Amazon.com and ordered them. Seeds came very quickly and I planted them about 1.5 weeks ago and now they have begun to sprout. From what I've read on the Web, mache is a lettuce that grows like a weed once it takes hold (good) and prefers cool-cold weather and doesn't need sun (just bright light) which suits my area perfectly. The company also sent along little I.D. sticks in case you are planting with a lot of other greenery. Can't understand why all gardening nurseries don't seel these seeds; would seem like a natrual source of fresh greens during the cold months (not snow or frost but just plain cold) when nothing else will grow. I'll send for more packets so I'll never run out (just in case I forget to let a few plants go to seed to replenish themselves).
