Georg and Scott,

Thanks so much for your responses. Maybe I'll give it a try this year.

All the best,

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.
