Dioscorea batatas (hardy Yam)
The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words: You might like to have a go at Stachys affinis ("Chinese artichoke"). I tried it, and it isn't bad as a nibble, but doesn't like dry summers. I bought some artichokes (subterranian) in a shop in Norwich, and they were long, thumblike, rather small, and very un-knobbly. Any idea what these were? I've saves them for planting... (When asked, the assistant said: "Artichokes.") -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.
