Re: red colo

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1997.06.03 at 01:55:58(791) Mark, I live here on Long Island too (Stony Brook, exit 62). Xanthasoma and Colocasias priced for eating would be perfect. I'd love to head there and try sprouting these myself. (Yes, I might snack on a couple others) Besides being great having the plants, it would reinforce the fact that stocking these types of items is profitable. Perhaps this would stimulate more shops in the area to carry these. So where's this West Indian fruit stand? +More At 09:54 AM 6/1/97 -0500, you wrote: >It is Friday afternoon and 90 miles to home and the sign on the Long Island >Expressway says long delays so I get off and take the local streets and wind >up thirsty and near a large fruit stand that says West Indian food and get >something to drink and pass by the vegetable area and notice some tubers that >I purchase because I have been lurking here and remember that somebody might >kindly advise me as to how to grow these two types of aroid called "Eddoes >and "Red Colo".
