Black-salsify

Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in deeply loosened, rich soil; like salsify, roots fork in compacted ground. Scorzonera produces a black-skinned root with creamy white interior and a more refined flavor than salsify, often described as mildly nutty and sweet. Roots can be harvested in the first autumn when pencil-thick, but leaving them in the ground through winter and harvesting the following spring produces larger, sweeter roots. When harvesting, dig carefully as the roots are brittle and ooze a milky latex; peel under water to prevent discoloration. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 4–6 дюймів Висота: 18–30 дюймів Дні до схожості: 10–18 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 10–24°C
