Hey guys, I thought I would share what I did today in the garden with my yuca root.
Here is the parent plant, which I bought from ECHO (global farm) here in North Fort Myers.
Here is where I took a cutting from the parent plant today
And planted it (next to the banana pup I just planted in the backyard)
Here it is in the middle of a Moringa tree and the banana pup
I harvested the leaves to cook with tonight's dinner
This was my first successful cassava cutting to root from my parent plant! Woohoo!
One cutting didn't make it due to the hot sun and probably not enough water, but the one above did! I have noticed growth since a couple weeks ago when I planted it :-)
I really hope the new cutting makes it too, because I don't want to keep taking away from the parent plant if the cuttings don't root out. Wish me luck!
I'm also going to make a post showing you guys my dinner and what I did with the cassava leaves! Stay tuned!
