I've been growing yacon for about a decade and always have tubers to share ($39 is riduculous! I can send some in a flat-rate box if you pay postage. send me a pm). lately I've been growing them only in containers, because they still produce but don't get as huge. One year I potted up a bunch of small ones in 4-inch pots, and even those produced some tubers!

Perennial kale is my favorite! I used to have a few forests of it before it was demolished by bagrada and harlequin bugs at some community gardens, and by cabbage moth caterpillars and squirrels in the backyard! I still have some plants and am hoping to reestablish a forest.
