Escarole Broadleaf Batavian Heirloom
Days to Emerge: 10 - 20
Seed Depth: surface to 1/4"
Seed Spacing: A group of 6 seeds every 18"
Row Spacing: 18"
Thinning: When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 18"
When to sow outside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked, or 8 to 10 weeks before average first frost. In mild climates (USDA zones 8 or warmer), sow in fall for winter harvest.
When to start inside: 10 to 12 weeks before average last frost; transplant outside 4 to 6 weeks after start inside.
Harvesting: In fall, harvest after first couple of light frosts; flavor is actually improved with light frost. When plants are 14" to 16" across, entire head can be cut off at base. In spring, harvest before temperatures get above 90° F. Some people peel away the outer leaves, as they tend to be tougher and more bitter than inner leaves. The leaves can actually be harvested anytime in a "cut- and-come-again" fashion; this is particularly good when seeds are planted too late in spring, and warm weather is approaching quickly, threatening to cause plants to bolt.
