hi there, im wondering if anyone knows of a place where i can buy kumara seeds? my friend is moving back to italy and wants to take some with her. thanks
First thing would be to check whether she is actually allowed to import them into Italy. You'd be facing a fairly hefty fine if you were caught trying to import any type of seeds in NZ with our biosecurity rules.
I'm pretty sure you don't get seeds anyway - the seed is the vegetable itself - meaning you'd have to carry veges out of the country and into Italy - which probably won't happen.
Get your friend to see if they can find kumara in Italy from any speciality shop - you only need a couple. Leave them in the sun and theyll sprout (like the potatos you forgot about in the cupboard) and plant them in deep soil. My old man uses a stack of old car tyres with stakes(to hold together) around the outside, and filled with soil.
