I just bought some of these seeds and it says to plant in October!!

Does anyone have any experience of growing it?

needs 10 weeks at 4^oC to germinate, and roots need to be stored for several weeks for the proper flavour to develop - chestnut!

I got them from the Thomas Etty site Rhubarb Thrasher, It'll give me something to do in October.

you could try popping them in the fridge for a bit and sowing them early I suppose

that website has lots of interesting stuff ( they've even got graphs) on unusual veg - yacon, oca etc
