  1. @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

  2. Please consider harvesting & cooking/eating #SweetPotato / #Yam #leaves.
    They're not true potatoes, not in the nightshade family. Their leaves are fully edible & a rural Asian food staple.

    Try this simple, tasty recipe, with yam leaves 🙂

  4. We grew too many sweet potato slips, so we put one in the pond for fun to replace the water cress eaten by the local skunk.

    The slip is getting new leaves and is growing roots on every node that's in the water. No, we are not trying hydroponic sweet potatoes. It simply provides landing places for insects to bathe or drink.
