Allotments 4 All

Hi

I have just bought some eddoes from the supermarket and was wondering whether it's possible to grow them on my allotment in the south east?

Has anyone had any success?

Thanks

but ain't got a clue - somehow I doubt it.

I've grown them in pots but more for the foliage than the tubers. It can be done I reckon, but some heat and protection will be needed early in the season and protection again in the autumn.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Your avatar is a corker SS!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to the site. Enjoy.

Know nowt about eddoes tho ;)

They like moist soil and heat, they are the side tubers from the taro plant.maybe if you google Taro you might get some info

thanks to everyone for your helpful tips ... think I'll give it a go!

For anybody wanting to try them.
