I totally missed the name of that veg. He certainly made it sound delish when he took a bite ;D
Be interested in any replies to your question. Wouldn't mind trying some myself 8)

Thank you, I missed the name as well.
Me too ::)

Why not use BBC iPlayer to watch it again? Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ and look under this evening. You can stream the program and it's fairly good quality, providing you're on a decent Internet connection.
actualy i happened to watch it and yes i want to grow these as well and the guava that they showed best 10 min of gardners world in ages.
I agree it had a bit more that intrested me this time, but the yacon tubers are expensive to buy the cheapest I found are 12.99 for 5

I have emailed them and will report back
I just watched the programme this morning, and both the Yacon, & the Chilian Guava plants looks interesting to grow. So if anyone finds a stockist, of the 2 plants, could you please post the address or online ordering address.
Thanks
Bill

Have you found other suppliers Caseylee?
They do sound fantastic; sweet but not high-calorie. Maybe the reason they're not well-known is that they contain inulin like Jerusalem artichokes and have the same unfortunate effect ;).
I haven't found any other sites yet still looking will def upodate when I do
Thanks, I'll do the same.
sorry to disappoint you all.. realseeds have sold out their yacon...I wanted some too.. :(
Jekka's herb farm do sell Ugni...but it ain't cheap...
