Is this radicchio?

I think they must have been survivors from last year’s mesclun mix. Do I need to remove the old leaves to encourage head production? Will they even produce heads?

 

 

 

And are these worth saving? Should I spread them farther apart?

And finally, the Indestructible Chive, which I think could survive nuclear attack.

2 & 3 for sure, likely for 1 (but it's a goner, keep 2&3, ditch 1 ~ it won't fill in).

Chives... the useful definition of "forever plant".

I'm going to keep them all, just to see what happens.

The chive grows while you look at it. You can see the stalks get bigger.
