Harvesting the Stela...

Harvested the stela last week - though it was not the ripe time yet, we dug it anyway for the fear of the wild boar attack. Almost the whole yam trees (about 40) were wiped out by the boars in 3 days...

Anyway, the stela was so sweet and the flesh is firm. It was one of the Japanese sweet patato variety. We distributed to neighbours and relatives and all of them came back asking for more! hahahah
Now that we got a hired hand to mend the fence, I replanted the shoots and looking forward to harvest in the next 3-4 months.

The young tubers. Red skin with pale yellow flesh. All the while I thought it was orange heheheh
