Hi all,

Request for a non AP vegetable :oops:

These are available in the supermarket in NZ but very hard to find in Australia, well melbourne anyways.

Does anyone have any tubers or seeds that they can send me? I will reimburse postage and handling

They are beautiful in roasts and I miss them :(

Green Harvest is sold out

Thanks
Trent

that’s all I got and replanted them already, but willing to part with some if you’d care to drop in
may have got them from Eden Seeds or other supplier but not from Greenharvest.
Cheers, Steve S

That will teach me for working too hard and not spending enough time here :oops:

How about I drop in when they are ready for harvest? :lol:

I feel bad asking you to dig some up for me :oops:

Is it just me or does this remind anyone of anything. I like to try new things. Will have to get some. Even if it is just to see the expressions on peoples faces when I give them away. :lol:

Try Vic markets. I got some from there 12 years ago!
Also at Salamanca markets in Tassie.
I'm in the ACT now, and I'm looking too. Nothing like a roast oca.

Made a quick stop in to see Steve on Saturday afternoon and had a whirlwind tour of his setup and stole some Oca :cheers:

I'm going to have to make a return visit where I can spend some more time and take a close look at everything. He has done a fantastic job of re-using and recycling in his aquaponic system :D

It was great to meet you and your wife :D

Now I just have to wait a few months and I can have some roast yams 8)
