How To Grow Salsify From Seeds
# 1 | Plant your salsify seeds in an area where they will get full sun. Salsify like carrots prefers soil rich that is rich in organic matter and loose and well-worked to the depth of 8 to 12 inches (20-30cm).
# 2 | Sow salsify two weeks before the last expected frost in your area. The ideal time is when your soil temperature has reached about 40°F (4.4°C)
# 3 | Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. This plant adapts well to either dry or moist soil and also tolerates sandy and clay soils.
