RE: Chicory: A Medicinal & Culinary Perennial (And How To Make Roasted Chicory Root)
That's interesting. I enjoy a bitter tang but not too wildly bitter! I noticed they weren't all yours but still good choices. I'll have to ask around about chicory plants. What conditions do they prefer?
According to the interweb: Chicory prefers fertile, well-drained soils rich in organic matter for best growth. IT can be grown from seeds or transplants. It grows wild in all kinds of hard packed soil. We grew ours in a raised bed with quite good soil.
Thanks @walkerland but I didn't explain correctly. I mean weather conditions? Despite having freezing winters it's not cold enough for apples here. And our summer's are the hottest in the country but we can't grow mango.
ah, sorry. It is always quite the adventure figuring out what will or wont grow. I've read that it grows in Australia and South Africa so it seems to be really adaptable to climate considering that it grows well here in Canada as well.
Will try to find it then, thanks @walkerland
