We have been given a packet of seeds of this interesting looking veg - anyone know anything about it? Is it worth growing, does it taste nice etc etc

Many thanks.

Yep- grew them last year and we are still taking them.
I think our soil was too rich as they forked much more than the carrots and have been fiddly to prepare with a lot wasted.
We grew them a few years ago on a different site and they weren't very successful.
So not much joy!!
They do have a delicate taste, and I have a few seeds left and will use them again this year, but unless wwe have a big success this year, I won't bother again.
Well worth a go though lavenderblue as they are lovely - you may have greener fingers than me !!

The secret of cooking them is to cook with their skins on and then remove once cooked!

There's another thread on the topic here: has anyone grown scorzonera?
