Your stuff looks beautiful. Just give the radiccio more time. It needs a long time and specific temps sometimes, to head up. It definitely depends on what variety you planted, so you do have to pick carefully - a quick heading variety. Sometimes it starts to head up just as the hot temps come (i.e. July), then it rots inside itself in the field. Fun! Maybe you can pull it now and call it chicory, no one will know it was supposed to be a head. Not that there's a huge chicory-loving crowd out there... Hey Emily! Your stuff looks beautiful.
