Endibias de AnjouHow do I sow scarole cornet d'Anjou chicory successfully under cover?
To sow Cornet d'Anjou endive under cover, we recommend sowing in spring or autumn. Choose a bright, well-ventilated spot for your seedlings. Use small individual pots filled with light, well-drained soil. Make sure the room temperature is around 18°C.
Sow the seeds on the surface of the potting soil and cover them with a thin layer of potting soil. Water gently to keep the potting soil moist, but not soggy. Make sure the soil remains constantly moist to encourage germination.
Once the seedlings have appeared, make sure they get enough light to prevent them stretching. Once the seedlings have reached a sufficient size, you can transplant them into the ground, spacing them about 30 cm apart. Water regularly, but not excessively, to keep the soil slightly moist.
Cornet d'Anjou chicory likes soil rich in organic matter, so don't hesitate to incorporate compost into your soil before planting in the ground. With these few tips, you should soon be harvesting delicious escarole while respecting the nature of your garden.
