    That's my understanding, but you should know that I've never actually
grown radicchio.  Check out http://www.botany.com/cichorium.html which
discusses the cabbage-like heads (but without explicitly saying to harvest
the entire head).  Note, btw, that they mention radicchio needs a long cool
growing season and that in the South one should plant in late summer,
presumably in order to grow the crop over the winter.  When did you plant
these puppies?
    And how's it going?
