gtarman Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Heya guys and gals. I'm looking for some of the purple-fleshed sweet potato and some Yacon to grow in the ol' veggie patch. Anybody have some spare? Got a few things I can trade in return, or can always pay cashola as well. PM me and my people can talk to your people.

Halcyon Daze Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks for reminding me that I have to send some Yacon to someone. I'll send you some too if you like. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frozenthunderbolt Posted November 14, 2013 What country mate? I'm in NZ I can get you yacon, never seen the purple fleshed kumara though - that's wicked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted November 14, 2013 Cheers for the offer frozen, but I reckon getting it to the Australian side of the ditch would be more hassle than it's worth. Then again with the cuts to biosecurity jobs you could probably label it as rocket seeds and they wouldn't have a clue lol. But Halcyon Daze should have me sorted for Yacon now Anybody out there itchin' to give me some purple sweetness yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtarman Posted November 15, 2013 You mean the one with the purple flesh, not just skin? I've never seen it at a Coleworths But if you do have it, that would be super awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted November 15, 2013 yeah its marketed as Hawaiian sweet potato. white skin purple flesh its in the ones near me. Or try the markets the venders always have them of late. I've got a few plants in pots I was using for slips you can have its vigours, long vining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted November 15, 2013 Awesome, thanks man I'm well keen. After the last couple days I think the prospect of some Hawaiian sweet potato is just the ticket haha. If I end up getting the Yacon I can sling you a bit down the line too if you're interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
