Baker Creek Heirloom Seed, minimum seed count: 200

(Eruca sativa). This delicious green has spicy, peppery, mustard-like flavor, which is great in any salad. We love this green sprinkled on pizza and sandwiches, too. This is one of our most popular greens and is a great staple in any garden! With an incredibly high germination rate, lovely crunch, and tolerance for cool weather, some call this the perfect cold-weather green. If wild birds and aphids tend to ravage your lettuce, try arugula instead. It is drought-tolerant and incredibly easy to grow, but watch out—chickens love it, too!
