If you have extra Hollyhock and /or Wisteria -I would like some of that--, Michael
How big are these 'seed tubers'?
I still have some of these hollyhocks; they reached 4 foot in final height:

Size=1/8 to 1/4 lb some are bigger but it is not size that matters, I mail smaller ones ,as they grow fine.-- also I have grown these in containers and they will still develope a large edible root in a container. I have grown 15lb roots in a 2x2' box by the 2nd year. I suggest that the pot be brought in doors after the vines freeze .- the root can't stand frost, but will start regrowth in the late spring. --so -- northern gardeners will need to fool it into growing sooner than normal-- so put the pot in a warm moist place after frost so it will start growing soon. I have used just compost[leaves and horse manure and bedding] and no dirt and still got huge roots. They do prefer some dirt in their soil mix. I think they make a beautiful vine and a great Potato substitute.
Please put me on your list. I am a weird vine nut person, and just love the way these look. I also have both Wisteria (blue) seeds, and several colors of Hollyhocks and they are yours if you want them.. Antoinette

Michaelp Please send me your address. I will send HH and Wisteria along Shirley
Gourd--Got your mail to day --much thanks--I will be happy to trade with you any time--I was pleasantly suprised--Michael
Hi Michaelp,
Boy it seemed like they took forever to get there.. Thank you very much and happy you liked the seeds, and I have not planted my tuber yet. It reallly is a neat looking thing too. Will do that this week.
Part of the problem may have been that the post office has been closed since the storm [Jeane] and just re -opened the day we got your mail-- they had no power- --and we just got ours on this PM--Michael
Michaelp,
Got the root thank you so much.
LMK if you received the white hollyhocks; some mail came back to me.
I'm still trying to figure it all out. My keyboard went ka-blooey and I had to find my older one.

Robin, -I am prety sure I did-- I have lost my note pad I was trying to keep track of all this on but I do have white HH seed so thank you- [I am about hurricaned out] --Michael
imzadi- I believe I sent yours --but--I lost my notes--so give it a few more days and let me know -I can send some, if I got brain dead, and forgot, - Michael

Ok Michaelp,
Just checking, thanks for the answer.

Robin, -I had to hurry and put all my seed in water proof plastic box's in my outside filing cabinet, and, of course, they are all disorganized, so if the seed comes back let me know, But I think I got some--some day soon I hope Hurricane season will be over and I will get it all back out and file it in the proper file folder in the fileing cabinet I keep seed in.- Michael
[If anyone else has been forgotten let me know ,and I will try to get all these trades right]
