Oca crop

Today I harvested my Oca crop. Do you ever wish you hadn't bothered? All that anticipation, months of watching the foliage grow, leaf up, flop, eventually wilt and then wait the prescribed few weeks while the oca tubers fatten up. If this is what they are like "fat" I wish I knew what diet they were on. I'll give them a few weeks then replant them. They have one more chance or they are out! Hope they're listening and take heed.

  1. I grew them two years ago and had pretty much the same result you have. Don't think i'll be trying them again.

    1. Hi Carol, I haven't the heart to chuck them in the compost bin (though they would probably thrive there with my luck!)so they have this year to prove their worth. The jury is out until next December!
