Over the last two week ends, I have been back in the garden tidying
and preparing for later planting.
One of the jobs was to remove plants which were abandoned to the very
wet (and mucky) winter by this here fair weather gardener.
I had 1/2 a row of salsify still in the ground, and figured though
they probably would be terribly woody by now, it might just be worth
cleaning out the roots and seeing what could be salvaged. Well, after
nearly 10 months in the ground, including the entire winter, they are
still quite delicious.

When did you do your salsifi? In July? I've seen people putting them
straight in around May - I've never done them before and was told to
sow in July so that they'd spend the winter and would then be
delicious late winter/spring. This year I've got 'Sandwich Island'
from Tamar Organics. I'm confused now because I was going to treat
them just like carrots ...


I am not sure when I put them in exactly, I think some time in lateish
spring (April or May, possibly), and I let them do their own thing.
Don't look to me for growing advice, whatever you do!

I've got lots of gros radis noir seeds (tres piquant). Do you want
some?

That's very kind of you, but no thank you.
