Very nice, and good photo. I have only read about oca. Wikipedia has a pretty good entry. Grown at 3500-4000 meters in the Andes, and being a short day crop (and 6-9 month maturity time), I'll agree your frame was worth the effort. For some reason, now that I see someone else growing it, I'm tempted.

Do you leave the tubers in the sun to sweeten?
