    Thank you again! We just purchased cassava and sugarcane from you this previous weekend. My fiancé is Filipino and it seems some of their plants really grow well here. If you have any more plants, you are growing that are native to the Philippines then that video would be a huge blessing to our family. 🎉🎉 always thankful when you share your knowledge.

So far we have had to use the imitation ube flavoring because we can not find any real yams. My daughter and I have been to many Asian grocers. I thought I finally lucked out yesterday but it was a white yam. Not sure if that works the same for my recipe. Any idea were I might be able purple Ube?

I recently planted a 20' berm with both purple ube and the white fleshed variety of dioscorea alata bulbils. I planted them 4" below the surface. Is this too deep? Should I scrape the top of the berm down? They are planted in loosened volcanic "clay" soil in zone 10. It is very rainy here. Please and thank you for any information.

    I don't particularly care for the taste (of what there is). I grew them for my sister-in-law who uses it for baking and another Filipino friend of my wife who makes an overly sugary dessert with it. Aside from the beautiful natural coloring, in my mind, it's just a survival crop. They kept climbing all over my other vegetables and dragged them to the ground, so I had to stop growing them this year. The vines are much thicker, heavier, and harder than sweet potatoes. I did give my sister-in-law a couple of rugby ball-sized roots that will last her a couple of years from last year.
