Ok all done now ;D
The Ulluco has rotted all but 2 bits which had rooted so i have potted them up to save them and hopefull have some to share next year.
Trying some black radish and a few peas and some blue kale and......... ok im going to be busy.
Have added some rare beans and many other goodies to the box.

clue is a hard one but here goes...
Sounds like a touch of Cornwall with hints of Sharons dancing around handbags in this area ;D ;D ;D
It will be in the post first thing tomorrow morning.

Only one of my ulluco has sprouted, but I turned one of the others out of its pot, and it was just sitting there. Maybe they have a dormant period?

The ones i threw out had gone black and mouldy and turned into a yucky mess :(
The 2 bits i have here have rooted and are potted up just to save them, not something i was going to try but you never know they may be a nice suprise :D
Its all ready to go first thing tomorrow morning so someone will have great fun over the weekend if it gets there fast !

I'm not sure who has had the parcel and who hasn't :P as there are so many posts.
The second part of the clue is Essex but have no idea what the Cornwall refrence is :-\

At 4.15am I realised the refrence to Cornwall was to do with my street name ::) I thought it was something to do with a members name who lives in Essex ;D

Still not here yet :-\

They arrived while I was in bed ;D

All I can say is :o :D :o and a big THANK YOU to all involved.
Due to the kids being off school and different shifts at work, it will take be a few days to sort it out ready for posting.

Lovely catching up on this thread, made me smile and some super clues ;D

Robert, apparently Ulluco can last through to next season and has the potential to grow from a very dried up tuber (as does oca), though I've not tried this.
I think it may have been a bit of a long shot to include them but nothing ventured. Hopefully I'll have some spare later on if anyone fancies another go with them next year :) cos I think they are lovely, despite producing such a small crop!
