      Sowing

      Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.

      Description

      What Golden Chervil (Chaerophyllum aureum) is

      Golden Chervil (Chaerophyllum aureum) (Anthriscus cerefolium) is an annual herb of the Carrot family (Apiaceae). Golden salsify is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches 120 cm. tall. The roots contain starch and can be used as food in the same way as potatoes. The young stems are eaten raw or boiled, like asparagus. The plant has good fodder qualities. The seeds should be sown in autumn outdoors or in a cool cellar, to germinate in spring.

      Chervil is a delicate French herb with an aniseed and parsley flavour — for sauces, omelettes and salads.
