        Very nearly :) the Asian supermarket I bought from last year is close by my office and I'm really wanting to get started, however it's too early for me I think. Give it another month for the weather to warm up a bit.

              Went shopping in Bradford market a couple of days ago. Bought two the size of a grapefruit - from Costa Rica, and on another stall, two the same size from Jamaica. Local Morrisons also had smaller ones.

              I would like to think that large tubers gave large leaves. But I suspect that they simply give more small leaves.

              Pretty sure I have heard that with Alocasia the tuber size will increase year-on-year and that correlates to the leaf size; not sure how that correlates to Colocasia, and whether they are different at all (my Colocasia seem to want to pup, rather than fatten a tuber :) ) but here's hoping you get something massive :blue thumb:
