Never grown them myself but I do have some seeds but left it too late to sow  :(  Will try them next year as I've read some good reviews on them, and I always like to try odd things  lol  :P

They are easy to grow, but the roots tend to be quite small and I felt were not worth the effort to grow as a veg.
