Okay, I have another question about greens.
I am a newbie garderner. I started growing greens about two months ago in preparation for our tortoise’s arrival. A baby Greek, will be here in two weeks.
I grow chicory, plantain, dandelion, wild strawberries and nasturtium and am wondering if they need to be harvested at some point, or if I can just pluck a leaf at a time indefinitely.
I’m a bit confused about that aspect. I have chicory plants that have leaves about a foot tall and look mature. Are they going to wilt if I don’t harvest them by winter?
I am in Southern California for what it’s worth.
The nasturtium is the only plant that I know for a fact is an annual so I know that one will wilt in the fall at some point, wondering what happens with the others.
Including a photo of a few of my plants with my hand for scale. Sorry it’s on its side. This chicory is super droopy today...
