Me too! I'm in the Edmonton area and also looking for the seeds or rhizomes. Let me know if you find a supplier.

This is my second year of growing Yukon I was just wondering if anybody knows if I can leave them into the ground to store the fruit for a few months like a potato thank you

Depending on where you live - I wouldn't leave them in the ground if a chance of rain/heavy rain - they would rot. We are having the wettest Oct on record where I live. Maybe store in a box with sand or just store them in a cool/dry place.

Apologies for not checking my post...autocorrect put 'compacted' soil. I thought I typed 'composted' soil. I would imagine that compacting the soil would not be that great for a tuber! Sorry folks!

In July I planted some tubers I got from my relative in the Blue Mountains ...cold up there. Came back to Brisbane and left them lying around for a few days before I got round to finding a big enough garden bag/soil to plant in. Put them NOT too deep in organic compacted soil and in a week or two they shot up. Now in September they are growing very quickly and looking great. The tubers had gone a bit 'soft' before I planted them but all seems to have gone fine...so far. Not sure when they may reach flower and die back. Excited to see what happens.

I have been looking for a supplier of the rhizomes for a few months & have just stumbled on your page. Can someone let me know where I can get them (I am on the Gold Coast) I will need to build up a bed as we have very sandy soil. Any assistance will be gratefully received.
