It's not that they can't take too much water. It's that my garden plot flooded out. (This was the case in most of the highland areas where it's grown as well. For some reason it doesn't respond well to being planted in terraces - so it can't be grown easily on steep hillsides - it ends up cultured in with corn and beans and tomatoes instead, and those plots all failed during the flooding.)

I can save some seeds from the thorny ones here, if you like. I'll trade you for roma tomatoes! PM me your mailing address, and I'll send them along once I've got them.
