Today we are going to be harvesting yams. This is diascoria alata. These are the aerial bubbles and the vine actually goes pretty much all the way to the top of this pine tree. You follow it down. You get the bubbles at various sizes. The summer actually are decent sized. You follow the vine all the way down to your pot. Since it's the base of the pine tree to avoid root competition, I've been growing them in pots. So let's see what happens if we dig this up. My guess is this pot is actually way too small for this yam. It's pretty well rooted in the ground. Hopefully the yam is in halfway in the pot halfway underground. It's very well big, but we'll see. So this bulge in the pot is the yam. You can see how the pot is bulging out and the big chunk of the yam is coming out at the bottom. This is solid. I imagine that the yam is entirely filled up the pot. I think the lesson here is we're going into the hard pot. You're growing yams that are going to fill the whole pot. See how the flexible grow bad. It's pretty much one giant cluster of yam. They just filled the entire bottom of the pot. So this is the yam. After it's been cleaned up, you can see it's composed of multiple segments with all of this. It is from one vine, a lot of food from one plant. Yum harvest.
