Well, I guess that means that bait shops are a source of tubers then! Honestly I would never have thought of that, I knew they were boiled for carp bait but I didn't know if you bought them already boiled or if you had to do it yourself.I know absolutely nothing about fishing. ;)

I'd be glad of some, thanks. I'm still hoping the original ones will come up, but you never know!
I dug mine up and reported them in little pots. They've been sitting in the propagator (with the lid off) but nothing's happening. Maybe they are dead. :(
Got the tubers, thanks. This time I'm starting them on damp tissue on the windowsill so I can see what's going on.

Maybe they are dead. :(If they are not mushy...they are not dead..sometimes they do sit ages before they spring to growth. When I got mine...I planted them quite soon after....and they took at least 6 weeks if not longer, before anything happened...I just 'did them' and 'forgot' them until they were ready to show off.
