Cold hardy and delicious in every way! This green was used for many years as a garnish until people finally started getting smart and began eating it! The leaves are slightly bitter with a nice deep earthy green flavor. Amazing in salads, blended up for green cold soup, or juiced. Rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Very similar to lettuce, but once you try endive; you will feel as if every salad is bland. The flavor is intense and robust.

Nearly perfect germination

I planted my seeds once the weather turned cooler into 1" plugs because these dont need to be sized up and can go into the garden really fast. I started them a couple weeks ago, and they're just about ready to go into my 9b/10a raised beds. They have nearly perfect germination, and I was pretty precise as i dont like to waste seed and am stingy with it. You could just as easily broadcast these outside and just make sure they stay pretty moist until they start to sprout. Then they're pretty much hands of until you need to thin. In another month or two, we will be swimming in full heads of enliven, but I'll be enjoying it as thinnings and baby leaves maybe 3 or so weeks.
