skirret, parsley root, chervil root
I was reading a book about flavorful vegetables to grow, and these three (all in the carrot-parsley-celery family) caught my eye. The chervil root, especially, is supposed to have an incredible taste -- it is not the same plant as the leafy herb (Anthriscus). Root chervil is Chaerophyllum bulbosum.
Has anyone tried growing these? Is there a seed source in the U.S. for root chervil? [B] [/B] |

I enjoy a good search....and the one place in the US that has chervil root is out. You might email them and ask about a packet? Otherwise, here's the place I found that will ship to the US at Ł25 in shipping. Eeek! However, I am happy to get together with you to all order at once and split the shipping and someone divide the order and ship the rest to the other person domestically.

I trialed two parsley roots this year, both were bland. I'll stick with carrots, I think.

There is more than one variety of parsley root available? I've only seen Hamburg. Were the greens ok? |
In the Czech cuisine is the root parsley along with the carrots most commonly used vegetables. This corresponds with a large number of varieties for different growing conditions. Growing parsley root is more challenging than carrots.

Tormato is right. Currently they are selling seeds of these varieties of root parsley: Konika,Olomoucká dlouhá, Alba, Osborne, Hanácká, Atika, Jadran, Orbis, Dobra.

Vladimír[/QUOTE] Wow! I've found leaf parsley challenging to grow. The most reliable method is to let my plants go to seed, then transplant the seedlings. |
Fedco sometimes has skirret, but make sure to order it in December, it usually sells out fast!
