I planted the seeds at the end of July in my central Arkansas garden and didn't have high hopes to actually get to harvest anything. When I did harvest them before a hard frost came through I was absolutely delighted to see that I had successfully grown multiple jicama tubers! They tasted more sweet and juicy than the jicama I had tried at the store and we enjoyed them greatly snacking on them fresh or diced and tossed into soups. I was so pleased that it went well and will be growing them again!

This variety is easy to peel the skin unlike other seeds I have purchased.
It has a long growing season, but the taste is well worth the wait. Definitely will be buying more once available.

1st year growing these but certainly not the last! Sowed seeds early May, indoors in Zone 6b using a heat mat. Only got about 15% germination on these seeds and only about 70% of those survived and grew. Really slow growers. Didn't think I'd end up with anything based on plant size which was maybe only 8-10" tall. (never flowered) Harvested 1st one in mid-Sept. It was about the size of a large beet and far better tasting than I remembered from years ago trying a grocery store one. Pure white flesh, crisp and juicy like an apple, sweet and delicious. Flavor reminded me of raw sweet corn at it's best. So good!
Super long season vegetable but well worth giving it a try.

Never thought I'd have the opportunity to grow this! Trying this for its lower carb quality. Already have sprouts coming up.

I have never grown it! I am interested in it for my wife, who is in a low fodmap diet and Jicama has no limits on her diet were turnips, potatoes and many other root vegetables are not allowed or allowed only in small portions.
