Just a thought. If you have a local greengrocer, ask him if he would like
to buy some to sell as local produce.


Our local greengrocer shut down last year (after being open less than a
month). There is a florist who sells 'local' stuff, but they already have a
supplier.

Seriously, they do make big money in supermarkets for a few tubers and it
seems a pity that you cannot find a market for them.


It's not a huge problem, I don't have enough of them to cause a massive
problem. I just don't like anything to go to waste, even if I've been
trying to discourage them. :-)
