The work of agriculture was to prepare the land for planting, we planted maize, manioc, squash, tomatoes, peppers, different vegetables and vegetables, today I want to share with you all the manual process that we carried out with my grandmother and my mother in planting The "escarole". This procedure is called an organic procedure because no fertilizer or pesticide is used. Only hangover or cow dung.

This vegetable like all the others has a scientific name "Cichorum endivia" corresponds to the varieties of "asteráceas" commonly called "escarole" according to the place where you are you can hear that they are called "endive" or as in "Cuba" that call them "chicory".

These vegetables were born in the "South Asia" newly arrived in the nineteenth century. The first records of their existence in "America" are known in "America", the countries that produce the most vegetables are: "China, United States and Spain"

There are many varieties of "escarole" and are grouped in two segments of their "smooth leaves and those of curly daughters" of them are the "Cichorium endivia var. Crispa "better known as" endives "and" Cichorium intybus var. Sativus "better known as" Brussels chicory or witloof "

Another way to group them is by their planting season, the "autumn-winter" in these varieties we find the "Angel Hair, Curly Prat and Despa" and the "spring-summer" group the " Summer, Pavia and Fina de Anjou summer race "as we can see there are many varieties of" escarole "today we will see the most traditional.

The plant of the "escarole" is formed by a cocoon of leaves that can be smooth or curly according to its variety, the size also varies according to its origin or its variety, some arrive 20 centimeters high, its roots are very small As if they were small chins.

The plant has a maximum of one year of life, if the plant leaves a long time in the earth its central stem can grow up to a meter high and at its tip a beautiful blue flower blooms.

The work to plant the "escarole" is very simple, it has five fundamental steps, to clean the earth, to remove the earth, to fertilize the earth, to plant and to transplant, it is fundamental the preparation of the land for the success of the harvest.

The work begins by cleaning very well the surface to be planted, in this procedure removes all the yuyo or the grass with a hoe of hand, as we see in the image

Once the soil has been cleaned, the whole weed must be raked and removed. After the removal of the weeds, the next step is to remove the soil, a depth of 30 centimeters or the height of a spade, this work is done to That the earth is soft and can develop without problem the plant of the "escarole"

The next job is to fertilize the soil, fertilizer is mixed with the soil, here we use cow dung and hangover, the hangover is achieved in the forest, the leaves and sticks that fall to the ground are disseminated and Are mixed with the earth, this mixture of sticks, grass and black soil is what we call a hangover, others use garbage previously buried and scattered in the earth, once the surface has been fertilized, the earth must be raked again to leave the surface Smooth, as we see in the image.

Great post. I grow one of the curly varieties in the fall and sometimes it over winters and I an pick again in April. The seed company that I've been using does not carry the straight variety but I would like to try growing that some autumn since I use it on our Thanksgiving when I make our traditional Italian Wedding Soup.
