I just found plants at Planting Justice in Oakland California. Also found Lovage and Good King Henry. Looking forward to trying them in my garden over the next few years.
I found mine at One Green World in Portland. I planted it in april and it is now 7 feet tall and flowering. Mine is in a huge pot due to my clay soil in Olympia WA.
I got my skirret seeds last fall from Terre Promise based out of Montreal, Canada. I also got Rooted Chervil from then, so two interesting novel vegetables for me. I sowed them in December so that they could stratify over our winters (ground was frozen for about 2 months this year, so should be good).
I have a plant (vancouver island). Now about 4 years old. I have yet to harvest and try it yet lol. I just hadn’t figured out growing and harvesting so good to hear your take on it
How do you plan to harvest skirret roots without disturbing your fruit tree roots? I have decided to grow it away from trees for that reason, so I'm curious.
I just ordered skirret seeds from the Experimental Farm Network, though I don't know if they can be grown through the winter in 7b. I've been looking to gradually phase out the annuals and biennials in my garden in favor of perennials, and a perennial parsnip would certainly fit right in.
I just looked at various sites which conflict in saying skirret is winter hardy to zone 3, 4, or 5, but they all include zone 7. Easiest search term is (veggie name) 'zone'.
Thanks for another interesting video! You mentioned that you’re planning to grow the skirret in a fruit tree guild. Won’t it disturb the tree roots when you dig it up to harvest?
I have been looking at skirret in the seed catalog for a few years. I do have salsify planted but still not sure how it's going to do. My climate is so different than yours, so I have to do lots of research for growing it in my area.
Great idea. I had become curious about this last fall. I was thinking of starting a tree collard. Any thoughts on that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge, too. Much appreciated.
We planted some 18 years ago in a national park. We discreetly harvest every October. Delicious
That was a risky thing to do.

I also had them self seed really well all over. They also grow quite tall.
When I ordered some heirloom seeds recently they gifted me a pkt skirret. I had never heard of it so interested in your video.

My friend from Canada asked me if I grew skirret. I told her I'm going to research since I never heard about them here in North Carolina.
Ancient people had a very diverse diet , hundreds of vegetables and greens , everything in its season

Definitely learned something new! Thanks. I may consider 🤔 adding some day.
Thank you for sharing with us well made thank you so much
I now subscribe 👍
Cool, seeds ordered. I have been wanting to try Fedco seeds. Thanks again.
I'm trying these this year, as well. Hoping they like it here in the midwest.
I wonder if deer keep away from that. Seems cool to add to my garden.

Thank you! Learned that it was quite common in Finland, but these days sadly very rare, has pretty flowers as well
Have you ever tried yampah, balsamroot or any of the biscruitroot (lomatium) species?
how are the skirret coming along?
Yes, I want to know too!! I'm in the UK and have just sown some seeds - I read that they can take a long time to germinate :-(

Namaste...Many blessings 🙏

I have hesitated to put root crops next to trees for fear that the digging will damage the tree roots. Thoughts?
Will grow the skirret as there no disease or pests like Sea kake

I’m excited for updates!
What do you use to start your seeds? Is it straight soil from the garden? Or do you amend?
They dont have any left at Fedco seeds.
Do you know if leaves are edible?
Good question!! I’m not sure, much like carrots, I’m not aware of the greens being used commonly. If you find more info, please share!
