Description
Chicory Sugar Loaf – Heirloom Seeds / Rare seeds
Sowing: March to July
Harvest: July to December
Sowing is done between 10 and 20° in a terrine from March to July. The seeds do not buried are covered with a thin layer of compost. Tamp down, water with a fine rain, keep moist. First transplant when the plants have 2 true leaves (plus the cotyledons) in pots with seed compost. Harden them in the open air little by little, before the final planting. Plant your chicory in the ground when they have reached about 5 cm in height, every 25 to 30 cm. Water regularly to prevent the leaves from becoming hard and bitter, mulch in case of drought. Its rosette-shaped heart will whiten naturally without having to put it under a bell jar . Harvest: from July to December, cut your chicory with a knife at ground level and remove the peripheral leaves. This fall salad holds up well to the first cold spells. Type of soil: Does not require any particular soil, but prefers smoky, fine soil. Enemies: snails and slugs
