Anyone have experience with bulbous chervil?

I managed to get some seeds this week, it seems you need to sow them in late fall/early winter so they get cold stratified and then they'll start growing in early spring. Seems like there's not a lot out there about growing it as it's a rather uncommon plant, but what exists seems to say you'll harvest either in summer or late fall. Summer for warmer climates since it doesn't do well in heat, late fall/after frost for cooler climates. Has anyone tried growing it?

I don't have experience growing chervil.

I have grown parsley for several years.

I found this information on growing Chervil, Chaerophyllum bulbosum:

Sowing turnip-rooted chervil is best in fall, no earlier than November and you can even extend it up to the month of December.

   Break up the earth to a depth of around 8 inches (20 cm), and, best case scenario, add dehydrated manure or compost a few days earlier.
   Mark the rows every 12 inches (30 cm).
   Sow one seed every 1 inch (2 to 3 cm), more or less.
   Cover the seeds with a thin layer of light earth (eventually blended with soil mix).
   Watering using a gentle spray.

When sowing in spring, spread the seeds in a pot in a blend of soil mix and sand, and store it in the refrigerator for about a fortnight.

This cool period will help trigger seed germination. Sow.

i thought bill at cultivariable seed has grown this and written about it, but i just looked through all his old blogs and didn’t find anything. i think i have a pack a seeds for it that i never got around to doing anything with.

and old, old favorite! popular in europe before carrots and parsnips were common there.

I bought some seeds this year, too. I planted some a month or two ago to see if any would come up without the cold stratification, but no luck. I've done it with other seeds, like hablitzia, that supposedly need stratification and had lots come up. Not a single one for the root chervil.

I've got some in pots to leave out over the winter, so I don't forget where they are in the garden.
