How do I sow chicory outdoors?

To sow chicory outdoors, it is advisable to do so in spring or autumn. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, amended soil. Before sowing, weed the area well and work the soil by spading to a depth of 20 cm. Sow the seeds 20 cm apart and cover lightly with soil.

Keep the soil moist but not soggy. If dry, water regularly. Chicory can be attacked by slugs, so remember to keep an eye on them and remove them if necessary. Once the plants are well developed, you can mulch them to conserve soil moisture and limit weed growth.

By following these simple tips, you'll be able to enjoy a fine crop of chicory, which you can enjoy as a salad or cooked. Chicory is an easy vegetable to grow and very popular in the vegetable garden. Happy growing!

How to harvest chicory successfully?

Endive can be harvested in different seasons depending on the variety. Summer chicory is generally harvested in spring or summer, while autumn and winter chicory are harvested in autumn and winter. To harvest chicory, simply cut the leaves with a knife, leaving about 5 cm of the plant in place so that it can grow back. We recommend harvesting the largest, thickest outer leaves first, as they are the most mature and offer the best flavour. Chicory can be kept in the fridge for about a week if stored in a perforated plastic bag to allow air to circulate. It's best to eat fresh chicory as soon as possible to enjoy its most intense flavour and nutritional benefits.
