My new plant this year prairie turnip something I was aware of that grew in Wyoming when I was growing up but never tried. Located a source from a grassland restoration group. I'm hoping my high desert will be a good fit. Anyone growing them?

Not growing them, yet. Will be following this to see how it goes for you, and how it tastes to you. I might try it. Apparently they used to be called Psoralea esculenta botanically, so when you're looking into it, you could try looking that up too. This distribution map for it indicates Wyoming is part of its range, so it should do well for you.
