It is one of the first vegetables to sprout in the spring, which makes it a very welcome sight. Although mache grows wild in many areas & has its share of common names, including lamb’s lettuce & field lettuce, there are several mache varieties with larger leaves & sweeter flavors that have been bred for backyard gardening.
