<p>The tasty roots have a delicious, mild oyster flavor which can be a conversation piece in a casserole. Use as you would parsnips or turnips. Harvest the roots in fall when they are about 1 inch across at soil line. Loosen soil first with a fork so roots come up easily without breaking. Mulch plants well and continue harvesting through the winter. 130 days</p>
