OCA!

My oca has finally begun to sprout! I was worried that, even though I had been keeping it in our enclosed porch/sunroom/makeshift greenhouse, the recent frosts we'd had might have killed it. But my little tubers are happy and healthy! Oca is related to the wood sorrel. For more information, you can check out this article on mother earth news:
