Another outstanding and inspiring video! You’re a master at the story telling and bring the unknown to the surface naturally and fully. Thank you for the journey. Be well until next time.
I love cassava, and I miss it! It was one of my favourites when I lived in Brazil, but where I was (Rio Grande do Sul), most people called it aipim, though some still called it mandioca. I should see if I can find some locally and try to make vaca atolada (which I know isn't your cup of tea, since you're vegetarian/vegan, but I love it).
Devine As always Such a delight 🍀🕊 RE the glorious virgin red palm oil: its super nutritious 👏 Yay Second known foodstuff only to annatto/achiote in the favoured tocotrienols, forms of vitamin E that are superstar players in the body Makes the calories seem insignificant Only seem, sadly Lol
I grew the white salsify in in California and the seeds from it took over my world. The seed heads were like giant bronzed dandelion heads and quite alluring in the evening sunlight. I pulled them up for 4 years before I finally eradicated them. That said, you have convinced me that the black salsify is worth the extra effort to keep spent blooms cut off as they come on. I ordered these seeds this morning! I will be diligent this time.
Yes, if you don't want them spread all over make sure to harvest them before they flower. They do have beautiful blooms though. I think they don't take over the land here because the groundhog doesn't let that happen. :-)
Beautiful video as always! I will give this variety a try... I will also love to watch a video where you talk about all your beautiful dishes and bowls, I'm guessing some of them are antiques and/or trifted... would also love to know a bit of the history of your pink house... saludos desde Baja, México!
I'm glad you have enjoyed the video including the details. I got most of the dishes in a flea market for very little. I love a bargain. Maybe in the future I will do a full house tour, but I'm not sure most subscribers want to see non-garden videos.

Thank you so much for this ingredient, tool, cooking and history lesson. You concentrated so much information into a beautiful video. Thank you for all you do and all you are! Much love from the Midwest US 💖
Your cooking style is very similar to South Indian cooking with usage of yucca, turmeric and coconut milk. I've seen yucca in indian stores although I've never tried it myself. Sometimes I wonder if our ancestors were meeting each other and sharing their cooking tips and ingredients with each other. How wonderful to even imagine!! Good video 😊
In Japan its common to eat burdock root, I think that salsify must be very similar . Burdock has so many really good cooking uses and I eat pretty often.
So happy to see your post today! And it is about something I’ve been wanting to try growing. I have the seeds for both types but haven’t planted yet. I hope they are still good. Now that I have seen how you did it I feel better about trying. Also your dahlia flowers, the peachy color, are sooo pretty! Thanks 😊
Yes, try growing it. I think the black salsify is more forgiving when it comes to tenderness. The dahlias were quite the spectacle, which unfortunately the groundhog also agreed was quite tasty :-(
I got my hands on seeds from both types last summer and planted them. That turned out to be too late in the season for our climate, especially since we also had a problem with garden herbivores. I did pull out a couple little ones that had match stick sized roots just to try to see how they tasted. I just ate them raw. I think I'll have to grow bigger ones to really see what they're like though. Hopefully the black salsify will grow to a harvestable size by next year. The white ones I'll probably pull half before they flower and let the rest go to seed to save them. But mostly, I'll try to plant them in a protected area in May to get them to a proper size this time. I have to say the tap roots do go very deep even early on. Some of mine were up to 20cm long despite being only 2-3mm thick. It seems they're both able to handle frost fine, so I wouldn't worry about that, it's just a question of the soil being warm enough to germinate.
Dish with coconut milk is always the tastiest...freshly squeezed coco milk is the best...roasted seaweed is my go to snack these days...like it very much...your kitchen is beautiful...sad thing we don't have this root crop in my country...but would try if I see one in the mart...must try dish...
It's always a good day when you post :) I've had schwarzwurzeln as it is called in Germany at a small family restaurant. It has a very distinct flavour.
I had to order the seeds! Yes, will be doing that recipe. Will be inviting our dear Portuguese-Brazilian family friend. I already know where to get the palm oil.
I liked this video I never knew about this plant and to watch your face when you ate the soup made me wish I could try it, I love that you show us different ways to cook vegetables.
Oh yes, "kitchen maid's sorrow" sounds exactly right. I didn't realize schorseneren (Dutch name) was so different than white salsify! It's not a vegetable to be found in Belgian grocery stores (although I've seen it canned) but I've bought it before at produce stores. Thank you for the recipe ideas! Sweet schorseneren sounds wild.
Thanks my friend. You’ll pass me in no time and will soon have 400k + I think my channel is just irreparably stuck and I’m at a cross roads. Most of my subs have moved on from what I offer, and frankly, I don’t feel I knew who they were and what they liked. I enjoyed the veggie histories and it was closer to what I’m passionate doing, but it will always be a niche. It just hasn’t been worth the insane hours put into it, at least not at the rate I was trying to pump them out.
I have tried them this year and I love the taste. Mine are the size of a banana so they can grow bigger/ fatter than what you have harvested. They are in the ground for a long time but I find it is nice to grow something different that I won’t find in the supermarket. Have you tried sun chokes or Jerusalem artichokes? I prefer scorsonèras . Great video .
Dear Mr Oliveira, thank u so much your your continued content. Your an absolute pro. Your TH-cam skills are perfect for the minority of intelligent, upstanding, reasonable and benevolent audience. Thank you. I'm an old, married extravert. We raised 5 loud Texas boys. We've live in more than 2 dozen states and a few countries. I've broken 120 bones on all sorts of adventures. Most folks think I've lived a dozen lifetimes. I think more. BBQ and shellfish are my favorite foods. I say all this because we are totally different in most respects. But I want you to know how far reaching is the inspiration of your art. Although I've been subscribed for about three years, I can't say that I'm a regular. But when I do watch, I'm instantly captured. Your soft, soothing presentation. The perfectly rapid pace of information. The visual aid accompanying each point. Your unapologetic nature to unexpected environmental sounds. Infact you've improved the sound it seems to capture more. The way you reveal your faults accurately makes us chuckle. The positioning of each prompt in a collage of traditional antiques. I could go on :-) should I go on? Of course I should you need to know :-) your gardening attire and twisted garden tools. True, honest, artistic expression reaches across all boundaries and preconceived notions. Thru cultures and even prejudices, I believe your talent builds Bridges. Please continue to produce content from your heart as you always have. Thank you again. And if you're ever up for an adventure, come spend some time on our off-grid Island here on the Texas coast
Thank you so much my friend. Your comment really encouraged me to keep going with what I'm doing. I have wondered who is really watching and at times I feel like I may not have much in common and it makes for deep questioning of the goal of the channel.
Very interesting. I've never tried salsify before but after watching your video I'm very intrigued, I might try growing it next year. I always enjoy the videos where you include recipes, the chowder looked delicious and your feet reaction was funny 🙂 Also I loved the pottery dish you used to serve your chowder, made it more special. Another great video Siloe, keep them coming, thank you!
Great to see you here, Lidia. I'm glad you liked the video. It sure was delicious. I think you should experiment growing with it. See you in the next video.
No question about the quality of your vids and the research that goes into it. exceptional as always Mr. Siloe... but what i like about this one is that you seem to be at your most relaxed state and truly enjoying your salsify adventure. wishing you the best!
Meu deus eu não acredito! Eu encontrei o meu lugar, eu acho que nunca fiquei tão feliz de encontrar um criador de conteúdo que eu não só me identifico com o conteúdo do vídeo em si, mas também em como ele é gravado! Por favor continue gravando conteúdo ❤️❤️
on my channel there’s a video on licorice or keep away plant could be something that would help you with your ground hog and rodent problem ... dos wonders for me very very smelly plant tho and might bring unwanted attention from cops very smelly
I love black salsify and grow it regularly. I love it in a white sauce similar to Béchamel, seasoned with salt, pepper, a squirt of lemon and nutmeg. I sow it end of February and harvest it in October when the roots are nice and thick. It's one of my favorite vegetables. I have a trick for peeling it that won't stain your fingers and makes peeling much easier. I just wash it, cut off the greens, then throw it into a pot of boiling salted water, peel and all. I let it simmer for about 20 minutes, drain it and rinse it in cold water. The cooking water will be pitch black since it leached out the black pigments in the peel. Then it's very easy to peel with a vegetable peeler, or scraped off with a knife.
Salsify looks so good! I just found out about salsify today looking at seeds, I found your older video on salsify first, but glad I found this new video and recipe... I love cilantro too! This recipe looks very good, I will make it one day but also add shrimp :) Thanks for the video and sharing your memories
Que delicia de comida pero tan hermoso es todo lo que te rodea en la casa que tengo que ver unas cuantas veces el video para apreciar tantos detalles y en el jardín me enamore de las dalias nunca a vía visto ese color en Uruguay hermosas felicitaciones
I was laughing when you said the seaweed made it a little "boggy". That's exactly how I would have described the experience of tasting seaweed sheets (Korean) - I wish I had thought of it when I spat it out. I think I would leave it out of this recipe, as I'm not much of a fish eater. Love the gardening too! I will try growing my own salsify, it may be a weed I already have.
I love your video! I bought black salsify seeds having no idea what the root was. Like you, I enjoy growing unusual plants and experiment with companion planting. Thank you!
In germany they are called 'Schwarzwurzeln' (means black roots) and they are a staple food for winter, got about 5kg in root cellar, to be eaten the next 4-5 weeks...
@@suburbanhomestead : if you want to store them after harvest... do the same as for carrot... store them in slightly damp sand as cool as you can, and dark
Ah, i feel your pain cleaning and peeling the salsify, preparing burdock root is a similar process, but the result is so worth it! we don't have maitake here in new zealand; i often use shiitake to impart a savoury flavour to broth, and it's readily available here in it's dried form. i'm curious as to why you chose nori over kombu? is it the texture, or did you feel kombu is a little more difficult to incorporate? I think this might be the video to push me towards growing this root! I cook korean style food often, and i'm always looking for more vegan umami/fishy flavours to incorporate, since they're such an integral part of a lot of korean food
They do take some effort to clean, but they are delicious. I choose to use nori because I'm a wimp when it comes to "sea" flavours. Anything else is just too fishy for me. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@suburbanhomestead haha fair enough, it's certainly a flavour that can take some getting used to, especially if you've been eating plant based for a long time!
Thanks, I just got these seeds and am very excited. I am glad that I watched this as I was going to start them in pots. I love the fact that they are so prolific and beautiful. I am trying to plant mostly perennial veggies and this one, although a biennial, will fit my needs.
Your adaptation of ‘Bobo’ recipe sounds so interesting. I’ve tried to grow the white salsify in Spain without success, small roots that are difficult to prepare, I will take your advice and switch to Scozonera as I’ve also seen it grow wild here. I love your kitchen and your joyous crockery. Thank you for your wonderful work 🙏
Hello! I would love to see a video on “Lance Asiabell” or “Deodeok” as Koreans call it. It’s like ginseng or turmeric, but similar to bellflower. There isn’t a ton of information out there I’m able to find! Thank you, and great content.
Again, I am so happy from this video I am amazed! I have been subscribed to your channel. I just looked and the bell was off? I have been missing knowledge and art all of this time! You have me for as long as I make it on this strange planet! Ps not a Gomez. Much more a older she. Ha! I needed it at the time I made it. Now people know me and it's stuck. Thank you again for such a wonderful video. It's now 5:20 a.m. I need to go to bed.
@@suburbanhomestead just lovely. I live in Jersey. A little colder than you and with less purchasing power than you. A home like that , here in this state would run you at least 899k. I’m looking down in the South Jersey area. Little egg harbor. Would love a Victorian/farm house .. thanks for sharing.
@@NEMO-NEMO Indeed the prices up there are crazy high. But I'm towards the rural end of maryland so it was a fraction of that. I also got it when the market was down and the house was a mess from the outside.
A book by louise riotte, "carrots love Tomatoes " she was awesome, professors would consult with her. No schooling i believe just years and years of trial and error. A truly awesome lady.
I am prolly going to plant some this year but I will get the seeds from ale Jardin de Gourmet since a very small packet will cost $.45. And I have solved the woodchuck problem but it is a long explanation. Now if I could only solve the evil vole problem….
i always thought that i wouldn't have the patience for gardening; this video proves me right. what a pain, i respect your perseverance. i would love to try salsify, but i dont know anything about growing plants and my yard gets no sunlight :( oh well
My parent's garden has a lot of pressure from animals from the woodland around their house; they use a homemade spray of eggs and it has been surprisingly effective, given how bold the animals are. Your dahlias are so pretty by the way.
Like the Chanel but I can tell your health is poor due to a lack of respect to the toxicities that plants can posse. Check out the work of Dr Garrett Smith if you want to restore your health and get rid of those "genetic" issues you most likely accept as unavoidable.
Have u tried planting ur leeks in clumps of about 4..... it doesn't seem to affect the growth n u get many more plants in a small space....as u harvest the larger plants it leaves room for the others to continue growing
Love your videos! Just discovered you! Been watching them one after another while visiting the in-laws in Paris. Went to the grocery store to get my coffee. The best coffee around is in a groceries store that has a stunning living wall… anyways I believe they sell them, not sure but looks like these and have a different smell then carrots.
Black root is great. It is perennial and does not go woody when it flowers. I like to leave it in the ground two or even three growing seasons so it's thicker and not so fiddly to peel. The flowers smell like cookies too a bit like vanilla, but only for a few hours after they open. The greens and flowers are delicious and sweet in spring my chickens eat them too. If the leaves are larger they get stringy though. You can cut the top off and leave an inch or so of root and replant it to harvest for next year. I leave mine I. The ground to harvest in spring and early summer when other root crops are not ready.
I don’t know what I want more….for you to open a restaurant or for you to have garden demos where people can actually come and get their hands dirty with you.
Adorei saber dessa planta, especialmente sendo vegetariana. Parece que vai ser uma incrível adição ao meu paladar e jardim, sabe o nome dela em português?
Garden forks are easier to use if the tines are aligned ~ I used a steel pipe I'd driven into the ground (originally to hold up netting), inserted the bent tine and straightened it
Encore!!!!! That was an amazing video! I enjoyed the information. Your kitchen is beautiful and so practical! I eat alone for lunch & I always set a lovely table setting for myself. I feel like I saver the moment and the food is I set the table. I think your place setting was spectacular. Thank you for your time!
I bought some salsify seeds (Mammoth sandwich island) and am going to give it a try. I'm in southern Alabama. Pretty hot and humid here. One source I read says salsify does not tolerate extreme heat and can get very woody and fiber-like. I reckon I'll find out in just a few months. Thanks for sharing your experience with growing salsify!
I chuckled at the your pepper heat chart. I guess it is cultural, but I go for the jalapeno everytime. And we can get yucca at the grocery store. Hey, we got to have something going for us; most everything else is desolation, and every bit of our garden is pain stakingly worked for. But desert foods, we got those. Prickly Pears, cactus leaves, yucca, and aloe.
I live in NW Montana and have this salsify coming up in my yard like crazy all summer. HAHA. I pull them out constantly. They are the thin white kind and I am so curious as to who brought them here or were they always here in the area. Most folks seem to kill them off as well as any dandelions but I do not want to spray. I just bought the small cottage and we had rented it for a decade! So now it is mine and I can do a cottage garden. I will keep the salsify mowed before it flowers, if I can catch it in time, LOL. Never wanted to try them but may some day! Really tough plant to kill haha, it is funny for me to see people buying seeds of these plants. So fun to see the soup idea. May ask around to the gardeners and farmers markets before I use it, as I have no idea if my soil is really that great to eat vegets from. I have a lot to learn!
I have extensive groundhog tunnels in my yard and neighborhood. I had grown chard for years without incident, leading me to believe that groundhogs don't like chard. Turns out each generation of groundhog have their own favorites. Last year's baby had a real taste for baby tomato plants and chard, completely decimating the plants I hadn't bothered protecting.
@@suburbanhomestead it’s the urine they hate. It’s really why people shy away from cats, specially male cats. Cats are not really aggressive animals but they spray to identify territory and to find their homes if they go astray. Also feral cats are not faithful to you. Cats like to be owned and they take care of their property. If you feed these feral cats and give them indications that they hv a place to crash, they will take care of the groundhog.
@@NEMO-NEMO I have a cat. She is an indoor cat who comes out with me when I'm in the garden. One day she went out the door ahead of me and the groundhog who weighed about 3 times as much was in the pathway and my cat charged her and the groundhog charged back and dove under the porch at the last second. My cat later crawled into the tunnel and came out in the woods behind the neighbors' house three doors down. I was so grateful that there wasn't a confrontation, because there's no way my cat would come out on top. There are lots of neighborhood cats, both feral and domestic who love hanging out in my yard because it's rich in wildlife. It deters the groundhog very little. Groundhogs are not like gophers. They can get pretty big, and they're not scared. My cat is a great little hunter but she doesn't have the survival skills of an outdoor cat and we have far too many large predators for that to be safe. I don't mind the feral cats in my yard, but they seem to all take their naps in the heat of the day when the groundhogs are munching, which is probably why the groundhogs are so active then.
i just dug up mashua tubers cant waight to try them. intresting plant to watch grow. boy doise it climb everywhare nice flowers towards the end. great vid cheers bud.

Your unapologetic nature to unexpected environmental sounds. Infact you've improved the sound it seems to capture more. The way you reveal your faults accurately makes us chuckle. The positioning of each prompt in a collage of traditional antiques. I could go on :-) should I go on? Of course I should you need to know :-) your gardening attire and twisted garden tools.
True, honest, artistic expression reaches across all boundaries and preconceived notions. Thru cultures and even prejudices, I believe your talent builds Bridges. Please continue to produce content from your heart as you always have. Thank you again. And if you're ever up for an adventure, come spend some time on our off-grid Island here on the Texas coast
Thank you so much my friend. Your comment really encouraged me to keep going with what I'm doing. I have wondered who is really watching and at times I feel like I may not have much in common and it makes for deep questioning of the goal of the channel.
Very interesting. I've never tried salsify before but after watching your video I'm very intrigued, I might try growing it next year.
I always enjoy the videos where you include recipes, the chowder looked delicious and your feet reaction was funny 🙂 Also I loved the pottery dish you used to serve your chowder, made it more special.
Another great video Siloe, keep them coming, thank you!
Great to see you here, Lidia. I'm glad you liked the video. It sure was delicious. I think you should experiment growing with it. See you in the next video.
No question about the quality of your vids and the research that goes into it. exceptional as always Mr. Siloe... but what i like about this one is that you seem to be at your most relaxed state and truly enjoying your salsify adventure. wishing you the best!
Who is your costume designer?
Just me playing around to set a bit of an escapist experience. Nothing serious.
Meu deus eu não acredito! Eu encontrei o meu lugar, eu acho que nunca fiquei tão feliz de encontrar um criador de conteúdo que eu não só me identifico com o conteúdo do vídeo em si, mas também em como ele é gravado! Por favor continue gravando conteúdo ❤️❤️
on my channel there’s a video on licorice or keep away plant could be something that would help you with your ground hog and rodent problem ... dos wonders for me very very smelly plant tho and might bring unwanted attention from cops very smelly
Interesting tip. Thanks
Another great video 👍
Thank you!
I love black salsify and grow it regularly. I love it in a white sauce similar to Béchamel, seasoned with salt, pepper, a squirt of lemon and nutmeg. I sow it end of February and harvest it in October when the roots are nice and thick. It's one of my favorite vegetables. I have a trick for peeling it that won't stain your fingers and makes peeling much easier. I just wash it, cut off the greens, then throw it into a pot of boiling salted water, peel and all. I let it simmer for about 20 minutes, drain it and rinse it in cold water. The cooking water will be pitch black since it leached out the black pigments in the peel. Then it's very easy to peel with a vegetable peeler, or scraped off with a knife.
Thank for the peeling tip. It sure is an interesting and uncommon vegetable.
@@suburbanhomestead You're welcome! :)
OMG I was just thinking of you and when your next vid would come out!!
Glad you had a nice surprise.
Salsify looks so good! I just found out about salsify today looking at seeds, I found your older video on salsify first, but glad I found this new video and recipe... I love cilantro too! This recipe looks very good, I will make it one day but also add shrimp :) Thanks for the video and sharing your memories
Glad you found the video. I found that this variety of salsify is more versatile and forgiving than the other one. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
your kitchen is decorated so beautifully and its nice to see you cook and learn .
I'm glad you liked the ambiance of the kitchen. A bit of paint is all that is necessary to transform a run of the mill old kitchen.
Love your videos and your beautiful garden!
Thank you.
Que delicia de comida pero tan hermoso es todo lo que te rodea en la casa que tengo que ver unas cuantas veces el video para apreciar tantos detalles y en el jardín me enamore de las dalias nunca a vía visto ese color en Uruguay hermosas felicitaciones
Murchas gracias. I’m happy to hear you enjoy the whole experience with the details.
I was laughing when you said the seaweed made it a little "boggy". That's exactly how I would have described the experience of tasting seaweed sheets (Korean) - I wish I had thought of it when I spat it out. I think I would leave it out of this recipe, as I'm not much of a fish eater. Love the gardening too! I will try growing my own salsify, it may be a weed I already have.
Been playing around with scorzonera the last 2 or 3 years. Love the flavor. Reminds me of yuca. Which is great, since I can't grow yuca in my climate.
I love your video! I bought black salsify seeds having no idea what the root was.
Like you, I enjoy growing unusual plants and experiment with companion planting.
Thank you!
In germany they are called 'Schwarzwurzeln' (means black roots) and they are a staple food for winter, got about 5kg in root cellar, to be eaten the next 4-5 weeks...
That is nice. I’m going to try planting more of it next year in looser soil for sure.
@@suburbanhomestead : if you want to store them after harvest... do the same as for carrot... store them in slightly damp sand as cool as you can, and dark
Ah, i feel your pain cleaning and peeling the salsify, preparing burdock root is a similar process, but the result is so worth it! we don't have maitake here in new zealand; i often use shiitake to impart a savoury flavour to broth, and it's readily available here in it's dried form. i'm curious as to why you chose nori over kombu? is it the texture, or did you feel kombu is a little more difficult to incorporate? I think this might be the video to push me towards growing this root! I cook korean style food often, and i'm always looking for more vegan umami/fishy flavours to incorporate, since they're such an integral part of a lot of korean food
They do take some effort to clean, but they are delicious. I choose to use nori because I'm a wimp when it comes to "sea" flavours. Anything else is just too fishy for me. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@suburbanhomestead haha fair enough, it's certainly a flavour that can take some getting used to, especially if you've been eating plant based for a long time!
The tines on your compost fork... drive a 25mm pipe into the ground and then "straighten" the tines so they align... your fork will work way better
Thanks, I just got these seeds and am very excited. I am glad that I watched this as I was going to start them in pots. I love the fact that they are so prolific and beautiful. I am trying to plant mostly perennial veggies and this one, although a biennial, will fit my needs.
I was hoping you would upload a new video today! ❤
Glad it was a nice surprise!
Your adaptation of ‘Bobo’ recipe sounds so interesting. I’ve tried to grow the white salsify in Spain without success, small roots that are difficult to prepare, I will take your advice and switch to Scozonera as I’ve also seen it grow wild here. I love your kitchen and your joyous crockery. Thank you for your wonderful work 🙏
Hello! I would love to see a video on “Lance Asiabell” or “Deodeok” as Koreans call it. It’s like ginseng or turmeric, but similar to bellflower. There isn’t a ton of information out there I’m able to find! Thank you, and great content.
The soup look delicious....from all your ingredient in recipe, only oyster plant that im never know....bc im new here, i should find out more..thank
Again, I am so happy from this video I am amazed! I have been subscribed to your channel. I just looked and the bell was off? I have been missing knowledge and art all of this time! You have me for as long as I make it on this strange planet!
Ps not a Gomez. Much more a older she. Ha! I needed it at the time I made it. Now people know me and it's stuck. Thank you again for such a wonderful video. It's now 5:20 a.m. I need to go to bed.
Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear the videos connected to you and lifted your mood. Have a good sleep!
@@suburbanhomestead I am truly inspired! 💜💐🌾🥀🖤🕸🕷🌱✌🏽
Black salsify my favourite vegetable. However, they are so sticky to peel but so delicious.
What state do you live in? The home is lovely. A true Victorian?
Thank you. I'm in Maryland. It is from 1917 so I would say it is the tail end of victorian, perhaps Edwardian design.
@@suburbanhomestead just lovely. I live in Jersey. A little colder than you and with less purchasing power than you. A home like that , here in this state would run you at least 899k. I’m looking down in the South Jersey area. Little egg harbor. Would love a Victorian/farm house ..
thanks for sharing.
@@NEMO-NEMO Indeed the prices up there are crazy high. But I'm towards the rural end of maryland so it was a fraction of that. I also got it when the market was down and the house was a mess from the outside.
@@suburbanhomestead that’s the way!!! I wish you all the happiness in the world. I enjoy your channel. Gives me much inspiration.
A book by louise riotte, "carrots love Tomatoes " she was awesome, professors would consult with her. No schooling i believe just years and years of trial and error. A truly awesome lady.
I am prolly going to plant some this year but I will get the seeds from ale Jardin de Gourmet since a very small packet will cost $.45. And I have solved the woodchuck problem but it is a long explanation. Now if I could only solve the evil vole problem….
I have only eaten salsify at Woodbury Kitchen in Baltimore. It was delicious. Thank you for this recipe, and the inspiration to try growing this root.
i always thought that i wouldn't have the patience for gardening; this video proves me right. what a pain, i respect your perseverance. i would love to try salsify, but i dont know anything about growing plants and my yard gets no sunlight :( oh well
Great video. I have seen it in Baker Creek seed catalogs and was curious about the plant. After watching your video I want to give it a try.
In Germany we call it schwarz Wurzel it tastes like white Asparagus
My parent's garden has a lot of pressure from animals from the woodland around their house; they use a homemade spray of eggs and it has been surprisingly effective, given how bold the animals are. Your dahlias are so pretty by the way.
Like the Chanel but I can tell your health is poor due to a lack of respect to the toxicities that plants can posse. Check out the work of Dr Garrett Smith if you want to restore your health and get rid of those "genetic" issues you most likely accept as unavoidable.
Have u tried planting ur leeks in clumps of about 4..... it doesn't seem to affect the growth n u get many more plants in a small space....as u harvest the larger plants it leaves room for the others to continue growing
Love your videos! Just discovered you! Been watching them one after another while visiting the in-laws in Paris. Went to the grocery store to get my coffee. The best coffee around is in a groceries store that has a stunning living wall… anyways I believe they sell them, not sure but looks like these and have a different smell then carrots.
Fabulous! Thanks for the hard work you obviously put into your videos.
Black root is great. It is perennial and does not go woody when it flowers. I like to leave it in the ground two or even three growing seasons so it's thicker and not so fiddly to peel. The flowers smell like cookies too a bit like vanilla, but only for a few hours after they open. The greens and flowers are delicious and sweet in spring my chickens eat them too. If the leaves are larger they get stringy though. You can cut the top off and leave an inch or so of root and replant it to harvest for next year. I leave mine I. The ground to harvest in spring and early summer when other root crops are not ready.
I don’t know what I want more….for you to open a restaurant or for you to have garden demos where people can actually come and get their hands dirty with you.
Excellent video as always! I love your dining room!
You have a beautiful house!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
olfactory memories are the strongest! great recipe thank you for sharing!
I had to laugh when you first tasted the dish you could ~ I can so relate to your experience and reaction
Adorei saber dessa planta, especialmente sendo vegetariana. Parece que vai ser uma incrível adição ao meu paladar e jardim, sabe o nome dela em português?
Garden forks are easier to use if the tines are aligned ~ I used a steel pipe I'd driven into the ground (originally to hold up netting), inserted the bent tine and straightened it
Oh my. I saw some growing in my grass and I thought they were weeds so I dugged them up and threw them away.
I have Salsify growing in the prairie and never knew it was edible. I will have to give this a try.
Love your dress style! (And your incredible videos)
Hmmmm.......delicious, i'm hungry now
Hope you try it some time.
@@suburbanhomestead of course !
Do you have this recipe printed anywhere?
Mertensia Maritima is the oyster plant though
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very interesting. Thank you.
New video!😀
Hope you liked it!
Your content is so underrated. I hope more people get to see that.
Óleo de dendem... Oh sweet Jesus. Such a wonderful flavor.😋
Anyhow... One more great video! I give it 5 stars!! 😊
Glad to see you here! Yes. that is a very specific taste.
Encore!!!!! That was an amazing video! I enjoyed the information. Your kitchen is beautiful and so practical! I eat alone for lunch & I always set a lovely table setting for myself. I feel like I saver the moment and the food is I set the table. I think your place setting was spectacular. Thank you for your time!
I was hoping to set a nice mood for everyone viewing, to transport them to a more peaceful moment. Glad you enjoyed it.
you made this video on the best day my bday
I bought some salsify seeds (Mammoth sandwich island) and am going to give it a try. I'm in southern Alabama. Pretty hot and humid here. One source I read says salsify does not tolerate extreme heat and can get very woody and fiber-like. I reckon I'll find out in just a few months. Thanks for sharing your experience with growing salsify!
I think the black salsify I show here may be better with not getting stringy.
Can't wait to harvest mine!
I chuckled at the your pepper heat chart. I guess it is cultural, but I go for the jalapeno everytime. And we can get yucca at the grocery store. Hey, we got to have something going for us; most everything else is desolation, and every bit of our garden is pain stakingly worked for. But desert foods, we got those. Prickly Pears, cactus leaves, yucca, and aloe.
Yes, different cuisines really tolerate heat at different amounts. Generally we Brazilians are wimps when it comes to spicyness.
I live in NW Montana and have this salsify coming up in my yard like crazy all summer. HAHA. I pull them out constantly. They are the thin white kind and I am so curious as to who brought them here or were they always here in the area. Most folks seem to kill them off as well as any dandelions but I do not want to spray. I just bought the small cottage and we had rented it for a decade! So now it is mine and I can do a cottage garden. I will keep the salsify mowed before it flowers, if I can catch it in time, LOL. Never wanted to try them but may some day! Really tough plant to kill haha, it is funny for me to see people buying seeds of these plants. So fun to see the soup idea. May ask around to the gardeners and farmers markets before I use it, as I have no idea if my soil is really that great to eat vegets from. I have a lot to learn!
It is worth trying it out.
I LOVE your video quality!! So beautiful 😍 thank you 😊
Thank you too!
I have extensive groundhog tunnels in my yard and neighborhood. I had grown chard for years without incident, leading me to believe that groundhogs don't like chard. Turns out each generation of groundhog have their own favorites. Last year's baby had a real taste for baby tomato plants and chard, completely decimating the plants I hadn't bothered protecting.
@Alex get a cat. Get 2
Yes they appear to have distinct tastes. This one happens to like dahlia blooms as well.
NEMO, there are a bunch of feral cats in my neighborhood, and it doesn't seem to bother the groundhog at all.
@@suburbanhomestead it’s the urine they hate. It’s really why people shy away from cats, specially male cats. Cats are not really aggressive animals but they spray to identify territory and to find their homes if they go astray.
Also feral cats are not faithful to you. Cats like to be owned and they take care of their property. If you feed these feral cats and give them indications that they hv a place to crash, they will take care of the groundhog.
@@NEMO-NEMO I have a cat. She is an indoor cat who comes out with me when I'm in the garden. One day she went out the door ahead of me and the groundhog who weighed about 3 times as much was in the pathway and my cat charged her and the groundhog charged back and dove under the porch at the last second. My cat later crawled into the tunnel and came out in the woods behind the neighbors' house three doors down. I was so grateful that there wasn't a confrontation, because there's no way my cat would come out on top. There are lots of neighborhood cats, both feral and domestic who love hanging out in my yard because it's rich in wildlife. It deters the groundhog very little. Groundhogs are not like gophers. They can get pretty big, and they're not scared. My cat is a great little hunter but she doesn't have the survival skills of an outdoor cat and we have far too many large predators for that to be safe. I don't mind the feral cats in my yard, but they seem to all take their naps in the heat of the day when the groundhogs are munching, which is probably why the groundhogs are so active then.
So great to see this video 🤩❤️
Beautiful video and that recipe looked mouth watering!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i just dug up mashua tubers cant waight to try them. intresting plant to watch grow. boy doise it climb everywhare nice flowers towards the end. great vid cheers bud.
Thanks for watching Andrew. I haven't tried mashua but it seems like an interesting crop.
Ha você fez um bóbó... tambem vou fazer...
You made me smile. 🤗. Won’t our bodies just involuntarily let us know when something is beyond good! Your happy mm…mm…good dance was adorable! 🥰. I thought I was the only one who still danced with my food! 💜. Great video!
