Evan, thanks for the link. Much appreciated.
I was sad to read that these are also susceptible to root knot nematodes. I planted mine with tons of organics - aged manure, peat and bone meal - and I have read that organics are the enemy of root knot nematodes. Hopefully mine will be ok. They are planted in the ground, not in pots.
Do you grow taro? If so, what are your favorites? Very interesting to see that you live in the birthplace of Dr. Seuss. Is there a museum in your town?
