Yum........ Yams

A gardening post this week. I have just dug up one plant of the New Zealand yams I planted last spring and got a colander full. We have tried them roasted and also in a stir fry and either way they are delicious. A really nice crunchy texture if stir fried - a bit like a water chestnut. And the bonus is they seem to grow without too much looking after. Where they were planted in the garden didn't get watered a lot, and there was twitch grass growing as well., usually a big problem with vegetables. I left a few corms in the ground so there should be some sprout this spring as well. They are a member of the oxalis family, usually a pesky weed but not in this case!
