Georg,
I’m in italy and we have the same problem, but this year I got my hands on a
source of Sweet potatoes, Franchi Sementi. I don’t know if they grow them in
italy or re-sell from another european seller. The sunchokes I grew were from
france and cost a lot, so I’m going to get cheaper ones at the supermarket.

I have to check the variety, but I’d like to be in on a european sweet potato
sharing group, seeing how this is one of my favorite tubers and they are so
hard to find here.

I’ll check the variety and let you know.
Best,
William
