Thanks for the replies. Found some oca on ebay, hadn't thought of looking there. Going to have to weigh up if I buy quamash too, can get expensive these unusual vegetables.

Hi, I'm stuggling to find quamash bulbs, I'm thinking of going for seeds here;

I might also get some pignut, tiger nuts and salsify seeds from here too.

I found a place on ebay that sold quamash, but £6 for just one potted plant is so excessive to me! I'm not sure I'd try buying bulbs from the US, don't think they'd make it into the country but buying seeds from within the EU should be ok right?

Oh dear, it looks like I might have a new favourite seed site! I went for a quick look at the quamash seeds and have spent over an hour reading nearly every plant

Pignuts are really tasty!!
I think EU is fine, American things are okay too it just might take a long time and from what I hear they tend to riffle through just about everything. You only have to grow things once to be a British supplier (saving seed/tubers etc), I'm surprised more people don't commercially sell these crops in the UK.

I got some Tamarillo seeds from US eBay and they arrived fine.
