Seed Count

Escarole is usually used cooked, in a pan or blanched . It can be served as a side dish accompanied by aromas or other ingredients or it can be inserted as an ingredient in pizzas and focaccias.

Variety with large, broad and crinkly leaves that curve naturally to form a tall horn-shaped head. Natural blanching. Very resistant to cold. Suitable  for autumn cultivation. SOWING: in rows from July to October. Trasplant when plants have formed 4-5 leaves, at intervals of about 30 cm with about cm between rows.

Upright winter escarole lettuce with very crunchy leaves. A French heirloom escarole, with large, scalloped green leaves and a central leaf core that curls into a horn shape. Cornetto Di Bordeaux Escarole. Mid-Early. Large upright plant with full open head, large dark green external leaves with light green-blond heart. Very early in the formation of the tuft which is large, elongated and typically wrapped . The leaves are a beautiful light green blond color. Late variety.

Endive Escarole is easily grown in cool weather. Sow directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Endive Escarole may also be started as transplants 5 to 8 weeks before setting out. Sow thinly using sterilized seed starter mix, cover lightly and water. Provide light, moderate warmth and good ventilation. A second crop may be sown in late summer to early fall. Grow Endive Escarole quickly with plenty of moisture for the most pleasing taste. Most will bolt (go to seed) and taste a bit unpleasant in hot weather. Amend the soil with moderate amounts of compost and a sprinkling of organic fertilizer. To blanch the tender centers (pale hearts) of Endive Escarole, place a clay flower pot over the plant 2 weeks prior to harvesting. Harvest by cutting the entire head at soil level.

CHICORY

LAND You want a specific soil from the garden, draining but fertile and rich in organic matter with a neutral pH.

CLIMATE AND SUN EXPOSURE It is a plant that resists even cold but dry climates. It prefers a placement in full sun or partial shade.

SOWING It can be sown between July and September directly on the ground. Place a group of seeds at a depth of 1 cm and at a distance of about 30 cm from row to row and 20 cm on the row, on humified soil. Keep moist until germination.

COLLECTED. The collection of adult leaves can take place between October and February.

FERTILIZATION. When sowing on the ground, in pots or in seedbeds and in repotting operations, mix a granular pelleted organic fertilizer specific for vegetable gardens or herbs to the soil. When an adult plant is fertilized once or twice a year, always with the same specific fertilizer for vegetables and herbs. In late spring it is possible to use liquid fertilizers, preferably enriched with  chelated microelements  (boron, iron, manganese and zinc) to  be mixed with the irrigation water.

IRRIGATION. Wet frequently when the plant is young and regularly when the plant becomes an adult. Avoid excesses and water stagnation.

TREATMENTS. Vegetable plants must be treated with care using only natural products. It is a good rule to always have natural and organic products at hand (soft soap, neem oil, pyrethrum) to combat aphids and chewing insects.

Don’t forget to add greens to your garden! These easy-to-grow veggies will tolerate a wide variety of conditions. Like other leafy vegetables,salad greens prefer cool conditions but should be kept in direct sun. Often, they are hardy enough to over-winter in many locations, from late summer and early fall sowings. These plants are ideal for growing in the EarthBox gardening system since plenty of water helps promote rapid, uninterrupted growth, and slows bolting.
