Our raddicio went very soggy and brown as winter approached. I think it was the wet. This year we plan to cover with cloches to try to keep them dry.
We had one endive that survived the winter!
We made the mistake of forcing all the chicory at the same time, this year we will try to stagger it by storing it and forcing a few at a time. Yum, yum, chicory salad or better still braised chicory with garlic in loads of butter with crusty bread.
