Just finished harvesting the bulk of the remaining taro in my vegetable beds. They grew well in the vege beds but they also shaded out my peppers & herbs.

4kg of starchy roots from 3 plants & their pups is a decent yield in my mind. They took zero effort or maintenance.

I've got about 40-50 small bulbs to plant out for next year. These will go into the wet boggy area of my garden that is too wet for anything else. I now know that I can just harvest them as required & let the others grow out.

Having a reliable, easy source of starch makes me feel very resilient against future supply disruptions.

I'm beginning to love taro.

Each main plant is yielding 1½-2lbs of tasty starch with very little effort.

I've just planted about 50 small tubers & pups. These will form part of my strategic starch reserve.
