Now, due to a myriad of reasons (most influentially, COVID 19), my SURF project for the Summer of 2020 has been just a bit behind schedule. As it is for most of the world right now, we are all trying to play some catch-up and simply make due with what we can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite all this, we have all been working hard to keep moving the project right along! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On July 29th, nearly 60 seeds for 6 different varieties, as well as 3 varieties of my own choosing, were seeded with radicchio seeds provided to us by NOVIC and the Organic Seed Alliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NOVIC varieties<\/strong>: Marinanta, Verona Costarossa, Bornio Tardiva, Cecilia, Bottiglione Treviso, Rubro.<\/em> *Each of these varieties range anywhere from 120 to 145 days to maturity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally chosen varieties<\/strong>: Sirio, Nettuno, Leonard<\/em>. *Each of these varieties range anywhere from 55 to 80 days to maturity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The field in which I will plant these puppies is eagerly awaiting the transplants to be ready, in the meantime I try and water the bed frequently enough to allow a flush of weed seeds to germinate so that I can easily knock them back right before transplanting the radicchio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we hurry up and wait….sorta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now, due to a myriad of reasons (most influentially, COVID 19), my SURF project for the Summer of 2020 has been just a bit behind schedule.
