Sweet potato vine: a well-travelled food

in gardening •  7 years ago 

Loved your post! Mixing in a bit of history is inspiring! Have to ask: you say this is a sweet potato vine, but don't mention anywhere that people eat the root---the potato---of the plant? Where I am, people only eat the root of the plant. I'm starting to wonder if I have been missing out! It was only 10 years ago that I learned you can cook the tops of beets and eat them!

Here, people cook young pumpkin leaves as a vegetable as well. You are missing out!

I'm going to have to be far more diligent in my garden waste, ensuring that I am composting only things that aren't desirable to consume ourselves!
