@PhoenixSerenity Cultural story time 😁🇵🇭🇦🇺. Moving out of home, Mum gave me sweet potato leaves (kamote) to grow. Shoved them in the garden bed in my #Perth uni student rental, never did anything with them, they just sat there and didn't die.

Dug them up when my husband and I bought our first home. I turned 40 and started gardening. We literally put down roots. The sweet potato took off and now, not only do I cook it regularly, I was able to give it back to Mum, whose vines died an unfortunate death years ago at the hands of an overzealous lawnmower.

It was so special earlier this year, the two of us in her garden bed in #Albany re-planting the kamote. Mum has Stage 4 cancer (she's doing really well right now) and it made me realise how important the sweet potato is for food, culture and family ❤️

(I'm actually so jealous because hers are growing better than mine - she even got flowers) #SweetPotato #Kamote
