Green leaf salad of the Mini Garden series for balcony and terrace cultivation is the best solution for all those who care for healthy vegetables that weren't treated with chemical control agents. You may grow this presented variety even if you do not have your own garden. Green leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa) yields rich crops in pots. The variety offered here develops a thick rosette of the vividly green, crunchy, delicious leaves. The surface of the leaf blades is frizzled, making this cultivar the best choice for those, who like to decorated a plate before serving it on the table. The variety offered in our store may be harvested already at the early growth stage (as so-called 'baby leaves').Thanks to that fact you may extend the harvest in time and pick only the needed amount of leaves and let the others grow. Green leaf lettuce of the Mini Garden series is a great addition to salads and sandwiches.
Young lettuce leaves are a treasure of minerals (calcium, magnesium, manganese and iron), provitamin A, vitamin C and the healthy chlorophyll. They are low-calorie, yet provide the feeling of satiety, hence are great for all people on diet as a healthy snack between meals.

The quality control process
All our seeds must pass a four-stage quality control process.
Stage one begins with a careful selection of the suppliers. Than we proceed with controlling their crops, foreign producers are not excluded from the quality control process. Plants are checked at every stage of their development: when they start to grow, during blooming and when they start bearing fruit (seeds). At this stage the most important thing is to ensure proper spacing of the plants. Thanks to that obtaining the desired morphological characteristics of each particular species or variety, such as colour, height and shape, can be ensured.
Stage two consists of a detailed verification tests in laboratory conditions. With the use of the highest quality equipment by the highly qualified staff, our suppliers perform more than 30 000 quality checks annually. The seeds that do not meet our requirements are subject to technological refining processes, including drying, cleaning, upgrading and testing again.
Stage three starts with sowing seeds in selected control plots. That way we obtain valuable, exact information concerning their germination that must be maintained at an appropriate level. Simultaneously, the varietal identity of each species is checked at this stage.
Stage four takes place in our warehouses and consists of eliminating seeds that have been stored for too long on our shelves and replacing them with new batches. Each package is stamped with a unique batch number and also with the sow-by-date.
All four stages combined allow us to state with confidence that the seeds we deliver comply with the highest standards and have completed all required control stages with flying colours.
