A quick update: The stalks and leaves have grown huge and definitely look fine: I hope there is also something happening below the surface..

You will get the best yield if you let the plants grow as long as possible. I often have many TPS plants that grow until past the first frost, some even until the first hard frost. If the stems are still green and growing, then tubers are still growing.

The results for this project: a couple of tiny nobs that I will save until next spring, and plant as seeds for the new crops
