zazen999, about your original question, I keep them in an unheated room, so that they stay a manageable size until the last frost.

Interesting, but I think that it could become another noxious weed here so will have to give it a miss.Ali

One bit of old folklore wisdom says to plant tomatoes when the soil is warm enough to sit on with bare buttocks. In surburban areas, use the back of your wrist. Jackie French

I'd love to grow these - may I ask where you got the tubers from?"Preserve wildlife-pickle a rat"Comment

Don't know where Zaz got hers, but I found them for sale here:
http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IND.../231182632439? (They also have Rampion !
)
and also on eBay.
Compared to finding skirret seed, a dawdle.
There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

I think I would rather go for 5 at £3 each: 5 x Apios americana tuber | eBay
or 1 for £3.75: 1 x Apios americana tuber | eBayComment

Thought I would resurrect this thread - again! - as today I dug up my first harvest of groundnut
Having just read up about them though, I think I will just taste one and put the rest back in. Apparently you should leave the tubers for 2 years to develop before harvesting! Oops!
Has anyone else on the vine eaten these? Will report back on flavour post-dinner!Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoesComment
