Sowing and growing endive

Growing endive is simple: put a few seeds in a hole and keep the mix well moist. After emergence, thin the seedlings so that there is still 1 plant per hole. 4 plants fit in one compartment.

Watch out for snails: they like the young plants.

Always water at the base of the plant, not on top. Endive forms dense heads: water easily remains in them. Then the heads can start to mold or rot.

The step-by-step sowing and growing instructions for Endive can be found in the Easy Vegetable Garden app .
