This exceptionally easy-to-grow annual has become a mainstay of market farmers and home gardeners, as it is a cold-hardy, cut-and-come-again green to grow in spring, winter, and fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamples of wild claytonia were collected in 1735 by botanist John Clayton. Its common name is a reference to prospectors in the 1800s California gold rush who would forage this common wild green to fend off scurvy. This light and refreshing green will grow in a variety of soils and thrives in cool and cold weather. It is commonly grown throughout winter in fairly mild climates and can grow over winter in the north with just a bit of protection. It is a supreme choice for temperate and northern permaculture design as it makes a care-free and nutritious edible ground cover, returning each season from dropped seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e To ensure optimal growth, plant Miner's lettuce in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
