Oca

Hi,
I have grown Oca for years. Originally I grew for food; it's ok but
not particularly tasty. Here in the SF bay area the large produce
markets sell in bulk. One called it pink potato. They are very easy to
grow outside here and they pretty much stay where planted. Squirrels
occasionally move them.

Dear All,
Still thinking Oxalis....
Does anyone grow 'Oca', Oxalis tuberosa ? Does it have any
ornamental qualities ?, is it weedy? Is it even tasty ?
I assume there are numerous edible cvs. Anyone have
experience growing these either for edible tubers or for ornamental
qualities?
Are they 'easy'? Thanks Jim W.
