Can somebody give me instructions on growing this family of greens? Particularly,when to plant in a southern climate?
I really love red raddichio,especially roasted or sautéed and would love to grow some. Do not need to grow it,cut it and than force it in the house? |

You grow radicchio out side and eat it as is you force Endive by cutting and forcing in the dark. Worth |

Thanks,Worth. I bet it can start it now then. Pretty much like lettuce,it sounds?
Isn't one of them also perennial if you leave the roots? |

That's how you get the Belgian Endive.
I think you can do it with the radicchio that is tall not round to. Worth |
