    I just harvested mines 😍😍!!! It took forever 😂😂. Started the Seeds 04/12th in A Pot, they sprouted ; then transferred to the ground 06/10th . Just today 09/13/2024; harvested one to make A home made Spring Salad for dinner . I live in Wisconsin 💯 . I planted 5 of them in our Garden !!! Love them mixed with baby Lettuce 🥬

      Two months from seed to planting is quite a long time. Could cold weather be the reason for their slower growth? Three months after planting is pretty much how long these plants take to fully form heads, so thumbs up 👍 great job! They are absoloutely amazing in salad 🥗🥬
      Happy gardening 🙂🍀

      Well, radicchio has it's specific bitter taste, not everyone likes it 🙂
      But as an addition to salads, it's great!

    Do you discard the outer leaves? Are they not good to eat? (I've never grown radicchio before).

    • @Liap
      @Liap  6 місяців тому +4

      I sort them. Most of them are perfectly edible. But it's the core of the head that is most wanted.

    I have bought some Castelfranco variety seeds of this interesting plant. Will be sowing this week here in South Wales UK. I'm assuming I can copy your methods from this video for this variety?
    Does the plant (after harvesting) go into dormancy and regrow?
    Thanks for excellent informative video and keep up the great work

    • @Liap

      Hello, I've never grown that variety. I checked it online and none of local sellers even have this variety.
      Though, it seems to be very similar in growing requirements as palla rossa, so yes, you can. Very nice looking plant indeed! I will try to get the seeds for next year somewhere 🤭
      No, the plant won't grow another head after harvesting. It may grow some leaves from stem, if you leave enough of it in the soil, but those leaves will never form a head like the first one.
      Thank You very much!
      A little tip for growing radicchio that i had to learn - if you are going to use fertilizer of any kind, stop using it once the plants start to form heads. It increases the risk of head rot.
      Good luck growing Your beautiful radicchio variety, all the best! 🍀🙂

  • @IjeomaThePlantMama
    @IjeomaThePlantMama Рік тому

    I wonder if you could harvest the side leaves and eat while waiting for the head to form? Im gonna try my luck at growing this!

    • @Liap
      @Liap  Рік тому

      I wouldn't do that. Same as head lettuce, if You harvest outside leaves, the firm head won't form. You can pick leaf or two here and there, but still plants need those leaves for energy from sun.
      You can treat these plants as cut and come again though. But They won't form nice and firm heads.

      Hello, what's the size of it? These can be grown in smaller containers (15l / 4gal) but bigger containers will hold stable temperature longer. And I was growing these in the middle of autumn and temperatures here can drop to freezing at the time.

      Hello. You can try to grow it in morning sun and afternoon shade. But if the temperatures are too hot, it will probably bolt and go to flower.
