How do you plant a Skirret?
Skirret is a hardy, cool-season crop that can be directly sown after all danger of frost or started indoors for later transplant eight weeks before the last frost. A little patience is needed, as harvest will not take place for six to eight months. Work the soil deeply and remove all debris to facilitate root growth.
How do you cultivate vegetables?
Cover with loose soil and water gently so as not to expose the seeds. The soil should be kept moist at all times. After the seeds germinate and at least four true leaves appear, transfer the saplings into bigger pots. Expose the plant to direct sunlight at least 6-8 hours in a day.

Do vegetable plants die after harvest?

How do you harvest Skirrets?
A cluster of roots will consist of several that are worth picking and a good number that aren't, so my harvesting method is to dig up the clump, snip off the roots that are worth having, separate into crowns and replant. This leaves the plant with the maximum amount of resources for a good start the next year.
