I tried a variety of new-to-me greens this summer in order to try to keep salad greens growing in the summer season after most lettuce becomes very unhappy. My overall experience has been that aphids, slugs and caterpillars like the summer greens WAY too much. This mizuna is the only one that seems to completely avoid the hordes of pests. It is growing easily and well, and best of all, we actually get to eat it!

This is the next best thing to having arugula in my salads! It is so delicious and the texture rocks for sure!
The germination was great on this one, pretty much all the planted seed not only sprouted, but survived. Maybe I put special care into these because I love the flavor and texture so much. I don't want to live without this plant ever again!
