I grew the Oyster Plant - Black Salsify

How to grow black salsify from seed to harvest. This plant known as oyster plant and Scorzonera hispanica, is delicious. I show how I grew it from seed in my home garden and I share a delicious vegan chowder recipe from Bahia Brazil: Bobó de "camarão": "shrimp" chowder.

Your content is so underrated. I hope more people get to see that.

Your artistry always leave me inspired to be more creative in the garden...and in life💚

Beautiful video as always! I will give this variety a try... I will also love to watch a video where you talk about all your beautiful dishes and bowls, I'm guessing some of them are antiques and/or trifted... would also love to know a bit of the history of your pink house... saludos desde Baja, México!

Your cooking style is very similar to South Indian cooking with usage of yucca, turmeric and coconut milk. I've seen yucca in indian stores although I've never tried it myself. Sometimes I wonder if our ancestors were meeting each other and sharing their cooking tips and ingredients with each other. How wonderful to even imagine!! Good video 😊

Dear Mr Oliveira, thank u so much your your continued content. Your an absolute pro. Your YouTube skills are perfect for the minority of intelligent, upstanding, reasonable and benevolent audience.
Thank you.
I'm an old, married extravert. We raised 5 loud Texas boys. We've live in more than 2 dozen states and a few countries. I've broken 120 bones on all sorts of adventures. Most folks think I've lived a dozen lifetimes. I think more. BBQ and shellfish are my favorite foods. I say all this because we are totally different in most respects. But I want you to know how far reaching is the inspiration of your art. Although I've been subscribed for about three years, I can't say that I'm a regular. But when I do watch, I'm instantly captured. Your soft, soothing presentation. The perfectly rapid pace of information. The visual aid accompanying each point. Your unapologetic nature to unexpected environmental sounds. Infact you've improved the sound it seems to capture more. The way you reveal your faults accurately makes us chuckle. The positioning of each prompt in a collage of traditional antiques. I could go on :-) should I go on? Of course I should you need to know :-) your gardening attire and twisted garden tools.

True, honest, artistic expression reaches across all boundaries and preconceived notions. Thru cultures and even prejudices, I believe your talent builds Bridges. Please continue to produce content from your heart as you always have. Thank you again. And if you're ever up for an adventure, come spend some time on our off-grid Island here on the Texas coast

In Japan its common to eat burdock root, I think that salsify must be very similar . Burdock has so many really good cooking uses and I eat pretty often.

Oh yes, "kitchen maid's sorrow" sounds exactly right. I didn't realize schorseneren (Dutch name) was so different than white salsify! It's not a vegetable to be found in Belgian grocery stores (although I've seen it canned) but I've bought it before at produce stores. Thank you for the recipe ideas! Sweet schorseneren sounds wild.

Meu deus eu não acredito! Eu encontrei o meu lugar, eu acho que nunca fiquei tão feliz de encontrar um criador de conteúdo que eu não só me identifico com o conteúdo do vídeo em si, mas também em como ele é gravado! Por favor continue gravando conteúdo ❤️❤️

Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Your total style from home to gardening is beautiful, awesome, different ❤️ Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

[simbasbestie]

Your videos are always outstanding, but seeing this side of you; geniunely enjoying your Bobó was so nice 😊 Keep up your quality content!

[heatherwatson]

I liked this video I never knew about this plant and to watch your face when you ate the soup made me wish I could try it, I love that you show us different ways to cook vegetables.

I have Salsify growing in the prairie and never knew it was edible. I will have to give this a try.

My parent's garden has a lot of pressure from animals from the woodland around their house; they use a homemade spray of eggs and it has been surprisingly effective, given how bold the animals are. Your dahlias are so pretty by the way.

Schwarzwurzel..a very common old vegetable in germany..reminds me on my grandmother..thank you :)

[lidial]

Very interesting. I've never tried salsify before but after watching your video I'm very intrigued, I might try growing it next year.
I always enjoy the videos where you include recipes, the chowder looked delicious and your feet reaction was funny 🙂 Also I loved the pottery dish you used to serve your chowder, made it more special.
Another great video Siloe, keep them coming, thank you!

Salsify looks so good! I just found out about salsify today looking at seeds, I found your older video on salsify first, but glad I found this new video and recipe... I love cilantro too! This recipe looks very good, I will make it one day but also add shrimp :) Thanks for the video and sharing your memories

[cherylwilliamson]

I love your video! I bought black salsify seeds having no idea what the root was.
Like you, I enjoy growing unusual plants and experiment with companion planting.
Thank you!

[gomezaddams]

Again, I am so happy from this video I am amazed! I have been subscribed to your channel. I just looked and the bell was off? I have been missing knowledge and art all of this time! You have me for as long as I make it on this strange planet!
Ps not a Gomez. Much more a older she. Ha! I needed it at the time I made it. Now people know me and it's stuck. Thank you again for such a wonderful video. It's now 5:20 a.m. I need to go to bed.
