Enrich soil with compost and add ¼ cup balanced organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each transplant. Rapid, continuous growth is essential for good yields and high quality. Regular watering is essential. Fall plantings can be protected from rain by putting a cloche over them. Endive heads can be blanched to reduce bitterness by placing a cardboard or plastic disc on top. Radicchio requires a good supply of phosphorus and potassium, but will not head and may bolt if there is too much nitrogen available. Days to maturity shown are from date of direct sowing. If transplanting, subtract 10-15 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDelicious, distinctive taste for salads and vegetarian dishes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall, dark-green leaves grow on crisp stems\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirect-seed in full sun near clear running water\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpen pollinated seeds\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Coast Seeds","offers":[{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":48545928610016,"sku":"MS502A","price":5.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/3340\/9702\/files\/MS502_Nettuno_Chicory_DSC07544_x640_crop_center_a9728bd2-fdd9-4e24-a11f-435804100d6a.webp?v=1768541004","url":"https:\/\/urban-grow.ca\/fr\/products\/west-coast-seeds-nettuno-chicory","provider":"Urban Grow Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
