I will report on Oxalis tuberosum in due course.


Oh good, that's another I'd been vaguely thinking about. If it survives
Cambridge it should have no problems here, unless it likes long days (north
side of a hill is bad for day length...)


Have you tried pig nuts?


No, but I also tried Cyperus esculentum. Not bad, if you have
reasonable teeth, but a hell of a fiddle - almost as bad in that
respect as Stachys affinis (which might do better in wetter
climates).
