Started Chicory and Italian dandelion in my garage under grow lamps. Goal is to transplant outside in backyard on a warmish day here in North Texas in January or February.

Germination for both is very good however the Chicory seedlings are bigger and stronger than the Italian dandelion under the exact same conditions.

Hope to harvest the greens in spring. Curious to see if the roots survive the hot summers and plants return next year.

I look forward in trying my luck growing Chicory.

Very easy to grow, has the sweetest little blue flowers.

I see them along the roadside in Michigan. They are beautiful ♥️

Beautiful flower, can't wait to plant it.
