Salsify (aka “oyster plant”) is a quirky root veg with a mild, oyster-like taste. 🦪🌱 Grow it like carrots—deep, loose soil & full sun. Popular in Victorian times, it’s great roasted, mashed, or in soups. Rare now, but worth reviving for its flavour & history! #HeirloomVeg #GrowYourOwn

Our Children at Brafield picked their tromboncino squash today 🌱.
An Italian heirloom veggie passed down through generations.
We explored it with all senses, cooked it for tea, and the verdict? “Delicious!” 🍽️
