I purchased some tubers from the green grocer and instead of cooking them I waited until tiny shoots appeared and planted them. Huge success with each tuber providing well over a kilo.

Got some tubers today oct 12 from the local vege shop in Wollongong . have placed one tuber aside in a vase of jelly christals that absorb water and release gradually. When some shoots form, I,ll pot it up and see how it goes. Hope it goes well. I,ll update as I get more details

ready to eat when the flowers die down is autumn. keep plants contained in their own bed. will rapidly spread and take over your garden! enjoy
