I ...Okay, I did a little looking for jicama seeds. I didn;t find them, but apparently you can grow jicama from chunks like potatoes. Be sure to get ones that haven't been sprayed to retard sprouting, so you need organic ones. Here's what I found on the web:<BR/><BR/>I don't have the seeds, but if you have a grocery store that carries Latin or Asian groceries or a Latin or Asian neighborhood go into a grocery store and pick up a tuber. You can plant the tuber in the ground and grow it. Be careful with the seed and seed pods if you have kids around because they are poisonous and narcotic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1142604528446763422006-03-17T06:08:00.000-08:002006-03-17T06:08:00.000-08:00MommaSchell, I hear that jicama vines are very hum...MommaSchell, I hear that jicama vines are very humongous, but I'd like to try growing them too, since the stores here don't carry jicama.
