I dug the tubers from the tiny plants grown this winter in the house for something to remind me spring is coming, grin. Although they had gotten skinny from little light, they did set tubers and it was fun to see what the vines had made. They'll have to nap in the fridge till the first week of July, more than likely, but there is a nice assortment. Blocky pink ones, early, quite a few, extra large very dark blues, 150 days till went yellow, so maybe too late for here. A long banana shaped very dark purple/black, some oval bright green ones that grew above the soil line hidden in the vines, might be yellow or white when grown under ground, some round pinks, easter came early. They are in the fridge in a tub of soil to nap for a bit. Tubers from last year have been brought up to sprout, might be able to plant them in mid May. 4 feet of frost in the gound right now, but supposed to be arm all next week, so things will thaw. Can hardly wait.

It's typical, usual winter. I am on Prince Edward Island, east coast of Canada. Not as much snow as usual this winter, so the frost went slightly deeper. Buildings all have their footings below 4 feet though, below the usual frost. Most folks put their water lines down 5 feet here. Tiny little pea sized tubers, ah, spring!
