I don't have any spare maukas or yacons at the moment, but I might have later on in the season. It all depends on how ell the plants recover from the severe battering they've taken courtesy of the weather. Remind me in late April.Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-9841608923092613572010-01-30T23:31:37.430+00:002010-01-30T23:31:37.430+00:00Congratulations on your Birthday!

They were grown outside. Temperature probably went down to -8C, perhaps lower. We are getting frost at night, but the ground is no longer frozen solid. Unfortunately I have lost most of my ullucos. <br /><br />Thanks very much for your comments about my blog. I'm sure you are doing a good job encouraging Germans to grow these fascinating crop plants too. If your tubers are below the level to which frost has penetrated they should survive. <br /><br />Viel glueckRhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-88457741265047207022010-01-23T14:33:14.242+00:002010-01-23T14:33:14.242+00:00Con gratualations for harvest and birthdayfrom me...Con gratualations for harvest and birthdayfrom me.<br /><br />Sorry, my english is very bad.<br />I'm happy to see your harvest.<br />Do you save the Oca and mauka?<br />How much cold was it there.<br />In Germany all is frozen and snow.<br />I belive if I have some oca outside they are frozen.<br />Are the plants growing in a glacehouse?<br />I read already longer your blogs and am pleased, about the publicity for andean tubers.

My guess is that the seeds available now are just wild rampion and not an improved selection as existed in the past; these may have given better germination and yields. It would be interesting to try and track down the improved varieties, if they still exist somewhere in Rapunzeland. Another plant with potential (perhaps) is evening primrose. The only roots I ever tried were unpleasantly bitter, yet it has been grown as a crop - in fact I knew someone who grew them claimed they were quite nice. Skirret is another I really ought to investigate - it has considerable potential for improvement and it definitely has a pleasant taste. I haven't grown it for years.....Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-68846435426400691452010-01-19T03:59:22.708+00:002010-01-19T03:59:22.708+00:00Have you thought about Rampion?

Hopefully it might taste nicer than some you seem to have tried.<br />Congratulations on the survival of the ocas and maukas.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298303681158987258noreply@blogger.com
