Jicama is a crunchy vegetable that's high in vitamin C and is used in Mexican and Latin American recipes. The large, edible roots have a brown outer skin that looks similar to turnips. Inside, they have firm, potato-like flesh that has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. Give your jicama plant plenty of room, since each plant can produce vines up to 20 feet long. And be sure to eat only the roots, since all other parts of the plant are poisonous. Harvest in 3-9 months depending on root size. 20 seeds.
Good to start from seed in these months:
North Florida: Mar - July
Central Florida: February - August
South Florida: January-September

Open Pollinated Heirloom Seeds Selected To Thrive
This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.
Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.
The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
