Maybe I should try to collect the seeds and spread them around. Several sources mention how little the "spuds" are, though, and that you'd need a large quantity of them to make a meal. So, I'd rather enjoy the flowers. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-60048992311807881812014-05-09T16:58:37.531-05:002014-05-09T16:58:37.531-05:00You're welcome, Susie!
