47. I don't need to black out. They grew very well last year with no interference. I'm just thinking it might be a way to check for varieties that are more inclined toward earlier tuber formation.
Earlier is better because first frost here can happen anywhere from mid-October to mid-January. A hard frost in mid-October would probably leave me with very little oca.
It would also be nice because everything is soaking wet by the end of October and harvesting a lot of oca will be unpleasant. I might want to put a low tunnel over them just to keep the soil drier.
