Good luckwith these.
I grew them for the 1st time last year. I love them but the family think they're silly.
really came into theri own at halloween though & became known as witchety grubs.
They survived in the soile all winter without harm. Have selected some of the larger ones to replant in the hpe that I'll get bigger tubers next time.

The only real problem with them is harvesting when the soils is wet & sticky. they are so small you need the soul to be crumbly to find them. Plus I found many f the best tuburs were a lot deeper than I expected.

do tel how you get on.PS in GB they are more commonly called Chinese artichokes.
