  1. We grew Achocha in our greenhouse a few years ago, it really is rampant; we had trouble getting into the greenhouse in the end! Makes a great talking point though when visitors look around and try and work out what it is. Not that keen on it to eat though.

  2. I can imagine it being very vigorous in a greenhouse!
