Rouge De Verona Radicchio

First time growing.

Great price on these seeds

I am excited to grow this wonderful veggie to help me stay healthy and help my mom use food as medicine against cancer. While I know it’s not a cure in and of itself, it has many great properties to strengthen and fight off disease. What a blessing to go out in your garden and bring in edible health treasures—let food be thy medicine, as Hippocrates once said;)

Any leafy thing with reddish leaves does better in heat than green in terms of bolting. This is no exception. My zone 9b/10a, we dont really get winter weather, so the best i can do is something like this. It isnt a lettuce, so to speak, but goes well mixed in a salad. I like them as baby greens mixed into other lettuce to make a mesclun type salad mix. It has some bitterness when it gets full grown in heat, but this is true of other types of this radiccio. Germination was near 100%.

Pkg looking good.. can't wait to plant them!
