[...] Mache isn’t well known or appreciated by many gardeners, but can provide you with tasty, lettuce-like greens well into the fall. [...]

Lamb’s lettuce is also called Mache or Corn Salad. I bought seeds from Johnny’s Selected Seeds. They have a large selection of fall/winter gardening seeds and quality products – in fact I received their fall/winter catalogue recently. Two thumbs up from me! Anyone interested in fall/winter food production needs to read Eliot Coleman’s books, particularly Four-Seasons Gardening. You’ll view gardening in the US in a new light.

Hi Rose, lamb’s lettuce is pretty common and offered at many seed suppliers. Try Sustainable Seed or Baker Creek or do a Web search for mache or corn salad seeds as it is usually listed under those names.

Hello May, I have corresponded with Rod Turner a few times and I believe that he is from Australia. The site at The World's Best Compost is not my website but is an affiliate product. The ingredients that he recommends and uses to create his compost are available, or can be grown in Canada.

Kenny
I’ve just come accross your site and have looked at the link for “The World’s Best Compost” book by Rod Turner.
I can’t seem to find out where he is from and if the ingredients that he may tell me of in his book are available in Canada – Manitoba specifically.
Do you have any other info about him or his book? I have not figured out if this page is a blog for you or not. So I am not aware how it works. I will read further – so far have enjoyed everything that I have read.
Regards
May

[...] Later this month I’ll plant seeds for lettuce, spinach, cress, arugula, mache, and other salad greens directly into the garden for a fall harvest. And in September I’ll plant gourmet garlic and shallots in time for them to germinate and establish root systems before over-wintering for next season’s production. [...]

Thanks for reminding be about mache. It had somehow fallen off my seeds-to-order list this year. I first discovered it from a friend returning from Italy where it’s more popular. I’ve noticed that Whole Foods in my area now sells it fresh and it’s NOT inexpensive.
