I saw a list of foods my sulcata can eat and Chicory (i think also called belgium endive?) was one of them. So I got some seeds without doing any research and planted them. They are really crowded and I was looking into harvesting them. Or at least trimming some leaves. I did some research (gardening is completely new to me) as to how to do this and I'm lost... I figured out how to do the turnips and arugula, but apparently there is a two step process to doing chicory. And I am not doing all that...
When it says chicory on food lists for my tort, are they talking about the white leaves that people are supposed to eat-the ones that you have to go through a painful process to get? Or can I just cut these green leaves and feed it to him?
If it's the white leaves I have to feed, I'm not doing it. Lol. If it's the green ones, tell me how to do it! How big should I let them get before harvesting? Should I just cut everything all the way at the bottom and then consider the rest garbage? Will it regrow? Or should I cut all but the center leaves of each plant?
I'm so lost and could use some help. I never knew chicory was such a long weird process...
