Absolutely. We start our plants indoors in late March, transplant when  
possibility of frost has passed, (around June 1 here) and we typically  
get about 10-15 lbs of edible tubers from each plant and enough crown  
material to make another 10-20 plants the following year. The crowns  
need to be stored indoors and cannot freeze.
