We grow escarole all winter
Cornetto di Bordeaux is the other choice for us along with Bubikopf. Cornetto is probably even better in our wet, muddy winters because it grows tall instead of out like Bubikopf. But both are standouts and we will always grow them for our winter staples. Our customers who have discovered the joys of winter gardening have also really enjoyed them both!

Versatile and tasty green
This is my favorite escarole. The leaves are tender and re-grow quickly after a picking. They are good in salad, and very good cooked as a green or in soups (like Italian Wedding Soup). I plant it in the fall here in central Florida and harvest it until it gets hot in the spring. This is something I have in my garden every year.

Easier than cabbage for cabbage rolls "Gwumpki"
Prolific seeds. This is a mild tasting green that is great for stuffing with rice and meat braises, mincing for soups or rice. I grew it during fall 2013 and planted more in February 2014. I live in the high desert (3500 ft) of southern California and the cool months are October through March. I have built raised bed planters and enclosed them with 1/4" hardware cloth and 50% Aluminet shade cloth, so it is cooler than being open to the sun. We'll see how long into the heat I can grow it :-) Paradise Farm, California
