Has anyone grown Skirret?

[Ananke]

I have inherited some Skirret seed and had a wee google, it sounds very interesting. Has anyone tried growing it, what did you think of it?

According to https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...ret_25384.html I have grown it, but I haven't a clue where.
There are seeds in my oddments box.

Hahaha, glad I'm not the only one who does that. It sounds really interesting, I think I'll sow them tonight.

I bought a plant, which immediately got scoffed to the ground by slimies. In retrospect, I maybe should have potted it up and grown it on a bit first. Not sure if that counts though...

I'd be interested to hear how you get on, it's been on The List for ages.

I haven't grown it yet, but some Skirret seeds arrived in the post in December, so it is among the possibilities for this year.

I love skirret! I wrote an article about it a few years ago, which is available here Morning Star :: Go back to your roots for skirret | The Peoples Daily if that's any help.
