If sowing indoors, sow two months before the last average frost in the spring. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep in soil, and transplant outside after four weeks. If sowing directly outdoors, scatter the seeds directly onto watered soil and cover with 1/3 inch of soil. When the Endive crops start to emerge, thin them to about twelve inches. While growing, the soil should be kept moist. Blanching is optional and the inner parts of the plant can be shaded by tying the outer leaves together. When ready to harvest, you may cut off leaves individually. For continuous growing, leave an inch of the stem intact.
