Odin and Mitra are showing off our latest harvest of Taro, the super nutritious wonder food that thrives on our island. Their favorite way to eat it is fried, but we like it steamed also. We discovered a natural spring that feeds a boggy area on our land and decided to clear it for propagation of a large Taro zone. The first phase was to cut the trees and underbrush and then burn it to create a nutrient rich ash to spread on the area. After the bog was cleared it was planted with young corms to begin growing in their new home. We have several cultivars planted to find out which ones thrive in wet soil and which thrive in a dryer soil. The boys inspect the work with Magnus after the fire burns down and the plants are in the ground.
