See, I nearly missed this one as well! No wonder our @Perki was not amused! Sorry, our beloved @Perki ! I'm never an attentive pupil!

 

[Leeski]

Whoa! I've learned something new today! Whose food is this Yacon (Some French?)? Can't believe I nearly missed this post. Sorry, @Leeski !

South American - also called ground apples one of those things you ever love or hate I love them really good for you not sure will have any this year now :-(

I don't think I will get any rain. I live in where the holes in the rain band are. People around us have rain and I am in the holes ... Does it sound gross? But it's true! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Where do you get the seeds or tuber? So it's Spanish or Mexican?

@Upsy Daisy I'm going to get some vinegar later in the day. I have got only malt vinegar. Thank you for the link. Going to do it tonight.

Think the plant originated in the Andes but I’m not 100% sure.
I was given some tuber/crowns couple of years ago and done them ever since

What do they taste like, apples? potatoes? I think I would like to grow yaro. We have a yaro croquette in our dim sums and it is delicious! Think I saw Nick Bailey talking about it in the GW allotment series. I'm warming to him now as he seems to know a lot. Would like to shave him again and again though. No, not physical attraction. Just don't like men with so much beard or moustache! Yuk!

More like melon than apple tubers like water chestnuts I prefer them raw than cooked love them grated in salads

Yacon

 

[alp]

Whoa! That sounds good. Amazing what exotic stuff you have, @Leeski ! Can you see any bulges in your agapanthus seedheads yet? Are the tubers in the pot? The pot seems to be a big small for tubers? Or are they fruits hanging on the tree? Ah, nearly forgot to say, my pepperdew chillies have come to say HELLOS! THRILLED!

Off now to saw some more stuff. Enjoy your gardening time, to all my beloved forumers, espec @marlingardener and @MaryMary .. I might have missed some ... Forgive me!

Yacon needs to go into a bigger pot agapanthus seed heads are looking good still a while to go yet me thinks

Raining! It started 10am and now more or less stopped and yet we are both soaking wet. Not even a pour, but very dense fine rain. I loped one branch and 3 pots of Victorian plum cuttiings and had to come in Ladder still in place. Optimistic that I will be able to finish the job today.
