This is something new to me that is apparently gaining popularity here in the US. I'm curious if anyone here has grown it or eaten it? How are the potatoes? Are the leaves edible and are they minty?
My take away from that was easy propagation and disease resistance. Sandy well drained should are a plus and dies well in got humid climates. Sounds like a great fit for Florida!Apparently it is fairly difficult to grow in most US climates. The following link explains quite a bit about this vegetable.

I think this might be a good experiment for the southern states but I am dubious about its success. I am leery about low temperatures not being low enough. If I can find some I will try it once maybe twice depending on costs. From what I understand from web data they aren't really a potato substitute but more of a condiment and aren't a staple anywhereMy take away from that was easy propagation and disease resistance.
