Growing maca

[fruitsandberries]

So I just ordered some maca seeds on ebay. Since winter is approaching where I live, I'd better grow them indoors. Have anyone tried growing them? Any tips will be welcome! :) :D :)

(It will be interesting to see if customs take any interest in a bag of organic matter from Bolivia... :eek: )

did you have any luck growing maca? or do you know of anyone who has? where did u get the seeds? any chance theyre organic? id love to try growing some, the powder is so darn expensive, and i bet it would be great to grow fresh maca.... do you know anything about the growing conditions it needs?

thanks

Sorry, haven't grown them yet, will wait for spring and grow them outdoors.
Don't know what conditions it needs, but with 2000 seeds I can afford to make some mistakes.

Do a search for 'maca seeds' on ebay, the seller is called andeanseeds.

Oh and it took a good three or four weeks from I ordered them till I received them.

thanks-- ill see about getting some--but keep us updated over the spring/summer. i bet alot of people would be interested in growing it, if it is possible to get it to grown elsewhere than the andes....
