A Seed Saver's Garden

They look like unicorn horns! my daughters would love that!

Hahaha, that is the most creative interpretation I've seen yet re: their appearance, certainly much nicer than grubs.

I saw this tonight and thought of your salsify post @digitS', I bought seeds from 2 places and this photo is from one. So, it would appear that in fertile garden soil they can get a fair size! Kinda glad I stumbled on that.

And on that topic I found this, which I'm also kind of thrilled about because they too seem a really good size - the Blue Fiore salsify. I need to do more research on it because it's a different species and I barely did my homework when I ordered seeds for these. I like the look of 'em! The name throws me, I was calling them 'sol-sih-feye' but I guess its pronounced 'suhl-sih-fee'.
