Sea Kale can be propagated with root cuttings also. I have a large clump of it and have never been able to collect viable seeds.
As for Dandelion, sample wild plants you find. When you find one that tastes good to you, dig it up and plant in your garden. The plants with a more rounded leaf seem to be milder flavored.
Other perennial veggies in my garden... asparagus, Chinese yam, crosnes, horseradish, rhubarb, Egyptian onions, ramps, nodding onions.
Interesting. I've heard of Japanese yam, but not Chinese. Also going to look up crosnes and Egyptian onions!
Chinese Yam (Dioscorea polystachya). Some call this cinnamon-vine. It’s considered an invasive in some places. Not a problem in my Zone 5B garden. Produces an edible aerial tuber that’s also edible.
Crosnes, also called Chinese Artichoke, are a member of the mint family that produces edible tubers.
Do u regularly eat the sea kale? Have you propogated it much?
Good tips on dandelion, I'll keep an eye out off the top rounder leaves.
Wow, great list of perennials you've gathered In your garden. I'll have to check out crosnes, new to me. Where do u get ramp stock? We don't have any wild ones near us.
I use the flower buds like broccoli. I have divided the main clump several times.
Ramps, or Wild Leeks as they are called around here, grow wild in large quantities in the woods and forests in our part of NY. I got mine from a friend who brought me a few clumps a few years ago. Fedco Seeds has seeds, but I understand that is a tough way to get started.
thank you!
