Love that. That's one thing I grew in my other garden that I totally forgot to include. Gotta buy some soon to plant. Thanks for the share. Beautiful harvest
@@Danfoodforest thanks. U2. If you have couple pieces of coco I can plant let me know. I'll pick up. I think I'm close by. Or tell me where I can find in palm Bay to buy
I was educated on this wonder food at our Djanbung gardens permaculture open day yesterday Nimbin NSW AUSTALIA.. Lovely to see yours and can’t wait to plant my two and reap the benefits. One love 💗 great food forest there
Taro is a main staple here in Hawaii! It's called "Kalo" in Hawaiian. The Taro leaves are also eaten. Bountiful harvest! Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Omg discovered taro when I went to Molokai back in the days and after that I had an addiction LOL Lucky you Dan full harvest for sure ;-) No need to buy online or overseas to get a great harvest ;-) Kindness always Dan
Wow 1 plant turned into soo many new plants and a large harvest. I love God's multiplication. I am going to try this in a pot since I am in a colder climate. Another TH-camr got me fixated on growing edos 😄
Nice updates, Brother Dan. Hope our taro does as well as yours is down in the food forest. My wife loves using the taro in so many different Filipino recipes. Thanks for sharing. Great video. One Love
Hey Brother Rob ... Awesome! ...I've only eaten it cooked in soups and plain. You could include some of those delicious dishes in one of your videos.😀 Thank you so much Have a blessed week .. One Love
That's a nice harvest Dan and the health benefits you listed are impressive. We have to look into growing them. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your Sunday. #ONELOVE
Yes ...The plant was in a different part of the yard, and it wasn't doing so well...It took off growing with gorgeous leaves after being moved. Thank you so much Happy new week! Many blessings you!
That's pretty awesome ! I wouldn't know that you could eat that . Looks like you're going to get plenty to eat and replant . I hope you have a great weekend ! One Love !
Hey Aaric ...Colocasia is edible in both the roots/ tuber and the leaves, whereas Alocasia is not. Colocasia has leaves with the tips pointing down and most Alocasia have leaves pointing up. Thank you so much, bro One Love Have a great week
You're right! You can eat the leaves and I think the stems too. I have to ask my friend how to cook that because I have some started growing in a pot that I planted last fall. I'll be planting more taro instead of potatoes because the leaves looks pretty in the front garden and nobody will know it's edible. I also planted ginger from the store and now I have ginger in 4 small pots every year. They multiply too! Thank you for educating your viewers! This video is very helpful. ❤️🙏
The leaves are delicious... The plants definitely have a cool appearance... In my front yard, I also plant them for that decorative appeal.. Thank you so much I appreciate sharing what I'm growing with others, as it gives them new ideas and possibilities in the garden Have a great week
Good afternoon blessed and highly favoured brother Dan. I love using the leaves 🍃 to cook 👩🍳 yum yum stew 🍲. Is full of iron . And I use the coco yam 🍠 to do fufu. A dish in Ghana 🇬🇭. Peace be with you and your family. How are you doing? I hope you are well by grace. Is always a blessing to be here with you. You inspire me in so many ways. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God to be a blessing to many and you are doing just that. Thank you. I wish above all things that you will prosper and be in good health as your soul prosper. May the Lord of peace fill you with exceeding joy and peace. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much ..I appreciate sharing what I'm growing with others, as it gives them new ideas and possibilities in the garden Have a wonderful week
Awesome Dan! I've used Taro root for cooking and I'm totally impressed with the amount of different vegetables your growing! Keep up the amazing work bro🙏😁
Hello my dearest Bro happy to see your garden again and happy to see the harvesting. Always soo happy to see u harvesting. Happy to see the Taro my favorite 😍 they are soo yummy 😋 Take care my dearest bro and family. Have a blessed week. ❤️❤️🌻🤗
Awesome awesome...I seen several recipes using Taro but haven't tried any. I'm going to a speciality store to see if they have it. Have a great weekend
Great harvest Dan. It's amazing how much you can get from only one root. Thanks for teaching us how to harvest these. It would be nice if you did a (how to) short or video telling how to identify edible vs inedible taro. 😁
Hey Friend ... Thank you so much for watching ... Colocasia is edible and Alocasia is not ...Key Characteristics to look for are Colocasia has leaves with the tips pointing down and most Alocasia have leaves pointing up Have a wonderful weel
If it scratches your mouth, it must have been the yellow one. It did it to me, so I usually don't eat that one & I haven't seen it in a long time. The purple one is the one I find & What I eat quite Often 😊
Don't know if it'll produce well in my climate, but it's been on my list. Got one from the grocery store previously, but didn't manage to keep it alive.
@@Danfoodforest I hope you do as well! I asked about the lot size because I'm considering a move into a city or more suburban area and wanted to know what to expect with smaller lot sizes.
I've always been told our Elephant Ears were poisonous. Is that a different variety? I may have food growing in my yard that I didn't know was food. Actually I've probably got lots of things growing out there I didn't know was food.
I have been meaning to ask you if you were growing this. I picked up some coco and eddo? Hope the names are right. Anyway, I put them in the ground so this is what I can look forward to!!! How did you determine it was time for harvest? Thank you for sharing this. Peace.
Hey Josh ... Hows is the Spring Garden? .. You have the names right ..It goes by roughly about 20 different names depending on your location geographically 😃 You can harvest it around 8-9 months from planting. Thank you for watching Have a great gardening season
@@Danfoodforest This seasons garden has been abundant. I will look up more info for these guys. Hopefully, November to December I can pull tubers. Peace.
Around 20 days on the countertop You may also harvest only what you need to consume and let the rest stay inground until you are ready to harvest again Thanks for watching
How do you separate the food from the head ?? because when I reap the plant a cook the dasheen some part is soft and some part is hard.. the part that is hard seems it cannot be cooked.. Do a video on how to cut or separate the dasheen from the leaf or sucker ?????
❤️ Guten Morgen🔔👍danke für das tolle Video, wünschen dir ein schönes Wochenende, bleib gesund, see you later.🔔 Liebe Grüße Siggi und Marianne 💖FRIEDEN💖

I've seen gardeners in Zone 7 grow it ..Try starting indoors during the winter then bring it outdoors late Spring
Thanks for watching
Happy Growing
Incredible 10lbs of food from 1 mother plant plus other babies.
Thanks Bro
We have this type of taro in Zanzibar, the leaves have a bit of purple colour.
Beautiful plant. I’m pretty sure I can pickup tubers at Whole Foods
Hey Susie ... You can definitely find it in whole foods ..
Thanks

Yes .. same thing ...
Araimo/dasheen is delicious. I grow it too.

Beautiful garden, I admire your attempt to grow as much of your own food as possible in suburbia. How big is the lot you garden on?
Thank you Kio
Have a great week
@@Danfoodforest I hope you do as well! I asked about the lot size because I'm considering a move into a city or more suburban area and wanted to know what to expect with smaller lot sizes.
@@vio7et_tendencies Im growing on about a Quarter-Acre .. about 200 fruit trees ... and 2 4x8 raised garden beds
Cool job⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐// 🇨🇦✅ !!👍

Hello Dan, wonderful harvest you have, what store did you purchase the taro from, I would love to grow some, thanks for sharing 🌱🌱🌱
I bought it from a Local Latino Supermarket in my area ...
Thanks for watching
@@Danfoodforest thanks Dan
I've always been told our Elephant Ears were poisonous. Is that a different variety? I may have food growing in my yard that I didn't know was food. Actually I've probably got lots of things growing out there I didn't know was food.
In Dominica it's called dasheen too
How long does it take to grow dasheen & ehat are the signs the your Ready to reap
I have been meaning to ask you if you were growing this. I picked up some coco and eddo? Hope the names are right. Anyway, I put them in the ground so this is what I can look forward to!!! How did you determine it was time for harvest? Thank you for sharing this. Peace.

Where do you purchase your plants when you first started your forest?
I started my food forest with a lot of seed-grown trees .. Pigeon peas .. guava and Papayas ..
Thanks for watching
You can make a dish called callaloo with the leaves.
Yes ... I normally order the callaloo and doubles from Trididnadian restaurants 🍽
Thanks

Hey Wendy ... I don't have any for sale at the time
It's only grown from roots / tubers

What is the shelf life for taro? Any tips on storing/ preserving?
Around 20 days on the countertop
You may also harvest only what you need to consume and let the rest stay inground until you are ready to harvest again
