From a customer:   "We are starting our fourth year using this mix. It contains a huge variety of our favorites and we like the convenience. The seed quantity is extremely generous and we've found that seeds germinate reliably the second year, which normally does not happen from many U.S. seed suppliers. We grow this both for salads and for full size plantings.  Most years we harvest the mature plants through the winter. The first year that we tried this mix we let one bed bolt. There was a breathtaking show of vigorous and gorgeous foliage forms— some getting quite tall, even up to 5 feet while the shorter varieties sprawled around the feet. The blue blooms and the frowsy showy lower leaves are a crowd pleaser.  Some of the seed self sowed and we re-harvested in September. Never fear that you can't grow radicchios!"
