Veggie of the Wheek: Chicory

Agent Carrot reporting.
 
As we have been talking about Chicory ( yum yum ) I thought that you might like to see what it looks like when it is growing so here is a picture of a plant in Slave's garden. This is how it looks before it is blanched to make the chicons that we know and love.
 
The leaves have to be cut off later in the year and the plant put somewhere dark and warm so that the chicons can grow.
