Anyone else growing it this year.... I had a firkle around in my patch today and found a little tuber near the surface.... ate it raw on the spot and very nice it was too... the description of the taste as "lemony new potato" is pretty accurate but it doesn't do the texture justice.... almost as crisp as a radish though a fraction more floury.... it'll be lovely in salads raw, and I can see it being great in a stirfry ..... I'm hoping that if I find some bigger ones when I do the harvest proper that they'll turn out to roast well.... it's still got pretty much all its foliage so it'll be a while yet, you're supposed to leave it until 2 weeks after frost kills the foliage.. the plants don't die but the frost triggers it to take everything out of the top growth and shove it in the tubers so you have to wait.....
If I get a decent crop and (therefore) it's worth doing (and people are interested) I'll have some up for swaps come Christmas/New Year time....
