All right EJ!
You wrote you can't wait to eat them but you'll have to wait a bit, they're not ready for a while. I think with christmas you'll be able to put a nice bowl of witlof salad on the table. Nice if you put some apple cubes in it too or pieces of hard boiled egg. Any simple dressing will do but I always add extra lemon juice for a bit of tang and less bitterness.
Mine are at about the same stage as yours, I have about 15 going at the moment and another batch rolled in newspaper in the fridge to be forced later. It's the first time I tried to store the roots that way to be forced at a later date. They seem to be keeping well, still firm and healthy looking. I plan to plant them in the middle of december orso.
