Hello Ilya,
maybe that in southern Europe it's different, but with organic farming
in our climate, which is almost linearbendceramic,
i can tell you for shure, there is only one harvest.
The intermediate fruit will not become really ripe.
I have a small piece of land of my own where on parts i have some fruits
from, and the other part is used by an organic farmer.

But even with two harvests, grain yield would not be better than
the mentioned roots, isn't it?
cheers
Amadeus
