Roots can also be used in dishes like parsnips. Stalks look similar to artichokes and have a taste similar to a mild artichoke when cooked. Sow seeds indoors in January in pots. Then thin out weak plants. Transplant seedlings after the final frost but when it is still cool. Using fertilizer helps growth significantly. Harvest after 60-75 days, leaving the base of the plant for the next season. Take leaves and thorns off and peel the stalks of their outside layer. Then fry, saute, steam, or pickle the stalks. Plants can be kept in the ground for 6-7 years, and after multiple years plants grow up to 6-8’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFind out why over half a million customers have chosen Mountain Valley Seed Company for their seed and gardening needs. 100% of our seeds are Non-GMO, and we have a huge selection of organic seed options to choose from.
