I have started the seeds of Jicama and seedlings are about 3 inches tall. Have any of you grown them? We have a long growing season, but not sure how early I can put them out. Will they tolerate a light frost? Guess i could put them in wall-o-waters. Any experienced advise would be appriciated. Thank you, Margie aka Queen of Dirtland

Where did you find seeds? I've not grown it, but have often wondered about doing so. I can't offer any suggestions, but will be interested in how your project turns out.

I got the seeds from Pintree Gardens. I need to read up on how they grow. Long season is about all the pak told me.

Just out of curiosity I did a bit of searching...found nothing at all on starting seeds! I hadn't realized it is a legume. Since it is tropical, I wonder if the seeds would benefit from bottom heat. Do you have enough seeds in the packet that you can experiment with several methods?
