Yep, still here, busy starting my own place. To be fair, you don't HAVE to grow gobo like that: it's usually just professionals who do, home gardeners have all kinds of ingenious ways of getting long, straight gobo without having to dig by hand for hours and break bits off. You can also grow them as primeurs, harvesting them whilst they are still short. Either way, gobo are expensive in Japan.

thank you :) good to know! we didn't really prep the bed much differently than we do for potatoes. we got a lot of the root. good to know they're expensive there. they're truly delicious! hope they catch on here in the US.
