A traditional chicory variety. The chicory 'Hollandse Middelvroeg' (Cichorium tabytus) produces plump, tightly closed heads. They are delicious in a salad or in a casserole. The vegetable seeds are organically certified. Sow the vegetable seeds directly in rows in the garden from June. Dig up the carrots in the autumn and cut off the leaves 2 cm above the crown. Place the carrots straight up in a 25-cm-deep hole then cover them with soil and straw.
Space the chicory seeds 10 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 40 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Give the vegetable seeds a spot in partial shade or full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The vegetable seeds come in a bag containing approximately 0.5 grams. This is enough to sow 6 square metres.
