Radicchio.

'Chioggia Red'. 60 days. Chioggia Red has a round head tightly packed with colorful red and white leaves. Early spring through summer crop. An Italian vegetable of large gastronomic wealth that is gaining popularity in the U.S. This colorful chicory is eaten raw in salads and is sometimes cooked with olive oil and raisins, a method that sweetens its bitter taste. I cut this colorful plant often and don't let it form a head. Radicchio will regrow until summer's heat becomes too much for plants to tolerate. Space plants 6 to 8 inches apart.

Rhubarb, Red.

'Valentine'. Perennial, hardy to -40°F. Space 3 feet apart. Harvest lightly second year. After third year, remove up to 1/2 to 2/3 of leaves. Harvest for 8 to 10 weeks then allow plant to grow unmolested. Remove all flower stalks immediately. Leaf blades are poisonous. Only stalks are edible.


Rucola/ Arugula.

. 40 days. An Italian green sometimes called rockets or arugula, it possesses a peppery, smoky taste that will enliven any salad. It is especially good on a cheese sandwich. Like other greens, its flavor is best in cooler weather, and will often become bitter when summer turns on the heat. Frequent harvests provide more leaves. Plants will self-seed.

We are no longer growing any plants. Listings are for information only. Last seed source listed after some of the plants is the company from which I last purchased the seeds. I make no guarantee that a variety is still available from that company or that there aren't other sources. Plants with no source either were not grown from seed (most likely) or the seed is not commercially available.
