I like radicchio but I'm the only person in my family that does. I'm sure your dad loves the tending though - god knows the only time my father is sane is when he's inspecting his tomatoes.
I grow mostly peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, parsley and tomatoes. Other than the tomatoes I don't think that'll work? Unless I'm wrong...
I dont like raddichio lol i grow it just for my parents consumption and for us/them to give away to neighbours ... our arrangement is semi feudal king and serf lol "Ill plant it ... you deal with it" (and you call me every second or third summer night reminding me to water the garden )
we grow tomatoes too ... my dad grows them from seed in my parents south facing basement window and then they make their way to my place for planting
we grow potatoes/zucchini/carrots/sugar peas for the kids ... never had success with peppers
Take up canning and build a root cellar.
Im not down with canning at this stage of my life and neither is my wife lol
when its time to harvest everything late summer and fall, everything that cant be eaten fresh in time is taken to the processing facility (my moms kitchen ) she makes tomato sauce, and everything else goes into soups ... both get frozen
