Gardening tip
When planting endive, make sure to sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil. This leafy green prefers cooler temperatures, so it's best to plant it in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Keep an eye on moisture levels, as consistent watering helps produce tender leaves!
