Im no expert Cordy, but I always start them in pure vermiculite, just damp in the propagator (heated) then when they have a few leaves I put them in the window sill, but I've learn't not to put any soil/compost in the pots untill they get a fair size, otherwise you end up rotting them. Vermiculite s...

Re: Potting up eddoes

whats the crack with heat? windowsill or next to radiator? i think kris mentions bottom heat will get them going quicker. im going to put the pots in a plastic bag and then on top of the boiler until they hopefully start shooting. then hopefully a windowsill will be good enough until they go outside?

Re: Eddoes and other eatable plants?

I bought some kiwi berry fruits a while ago and they were amazing, very tempted by a plant. Actinidia arguta 'Issai' is the one, self fertile and hardy. Did you grow those Sal? With regards to the pineapples, I was successful on the 2nd try. I took a standard supermarket pineapple, removed flesh, st...
