I have been using my blog http://mahalomichael.posterous.com/ to help track the progress of my plants. It makes it easy. Snap a few photos and it logs the date of planting. This weekend Lisa and I visited my Grandaddy in Kona. He knew we were coming and had wrapped up a few hulis. These consist of the upper 1/8- 1/4-inch section of the corms or he trimmed off the leafs and wrapped in up in damp newspaper. He made sure to show us how to trim a bit of the corms off before planting. It took me three days to get around to triming and planting these guys. Planted in pots until I have time to build and prepare the ground. These are "Upland Taro Plants".This is the second set and we should be able to harvest in 10 to 12 months.
