Also, by waiting, you will give them time to grow as big as possible. Stamylisa, where are you gardening? I'm surprised you haven't seen any flowers in two years. Do you have a short growing season? Or are they being shaded by something? Stop back in and tell me how the harvest went! I believe that digging them after the frost results in tastier bulbs.

I bought 4 tubers from a health food store (they were meant for eating) since I the local greenhouses don't carry them. My husband laughed when I bought them to plant. They are now several feet taller than our home and in bloom. Thanks for the recipe. I’m growing them for the first time this year and am excited to try them.
