I had scooped out the top of the yam that we had bought and planted it And that was a few months ago. The pouring rain did not let it produce the shoot that is normally seen in a few days. I forgot all about it. This morning I told my maid to plant something else in it but there it was - we saw a shoot. I have now kept it where there is no direct rain. It will be transplanted at a spot later when it stops raining. I hope to get a yam in about a year's time. Wonders never cease.

I planted potatoes and I have to check if something is sprouting. Yam has pretty leaves.

I did that with potatoes too but heavy rain destroyed them. Yam has pretty flowers too

@allknowing I noticed that some potatoes have white flowers and some purple flowers.

I think it will be easy to plant the yam and I hope you will have a harvest next year and it will be something exciting

That’s great! I toss ones that get too old and many sprouts to them. I bet they would be easy to grow but I’ve never tried it.

Once they take root they do yield but one has to wait for atleast a year

I have been thinking of planting tomatoes and lemons for so many days but have not gotten time to do it. I will do it in the next few days.
