I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks for the kind words. Just feels like ordinary stuff over here

[@kimchitran1083]

I come from a Southeast Asian country, this plant is really easy to grow. You can use the leaves (young and soft) to make sour soup with fish or meat and of course cannot be cooked directly when just picked. It's very simple, you just need to mix salt with clean water and add the leaves and keep them for a few days until they reach a sour taste and you can use these leaves to cook soups. This is a cooling dish for the summer in my country

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I'll have to try that, everyone says don't eat the leaves

[@Debra309]

Just ordered one batch through ETSY. Can’t wait to receive and start planting cassava in my little homestead Hawaii garden. Thank you!!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Awesome! I’ll be shipping your order today. Hope it grows for you!

[@Debra309]

@@HomesteadinHawaii thank you! I’m pretty excited about starting cassava. Looks like a great food producer. Thanks again!

[@bil45ohbify]

The leaves are edible and very delicious

[@annchee1329]

Love all your tips and how to’s with your homestead. I haven’t seen Cassava plants for sale anywhere

[@hancockhale]

Great vid man! I appreciate all the variations and tips. Been growing 4 plants with the angle burial method on the North Shore of Oahu and seen great results.

Mine are going off!

Got a bunch at the store (come to florida) for really cheap and their already rooting.

Soon you’ll have a bunch more

[@corytom4328]

@@HomesteadinHawaii have you tried Spanish plum or loquat. Delicious! I can send you some seeds when I harvest this year if you like.

[@corytom4328]

​​@@HomesteadinHawaii I also have citrus seeds from Fort Center here in central Florida. It's a very old fort and before that it was a long standing native American village. You can freely walk around but it's a 6 mile round trip hike is scorching 🥵 bald open sun. But the village is in a large oak island. These citrus were studied and were found to be genetically different and probably the oldest Native planted citrus grove in the U.S.I have lemon seeds (lemon inside is orange in color and not bitter), very sweet orange seeds, and lime seeds (lime inside is light orange and not bitter). I also some grapefruit seeds but there is only one grapefruit tree out there so I only took seeds from falled fruit. I made lemonade with a few fresh fallen lemons 5 years ago and let me tell you. You honestly, truly haven't had good lemonade untill you have had it made with these lemons. It has me walking out there multiple times every year.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

@@corytom4328 Nice! Good varieties are the key. I remember the first time I tried an heirloom apple. I had always just known what was in the store, gala, red delicious, granny smith, but this heirloom apple I tasted, best thing I ever had. Too bad we let the food system get to where it is today.

[@phondo2]

I live in North Georgia, plan to grow in a bucket I can bring in when the temperature drops.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

That works

[@TangBengYong]

To know which end of a cutting is up, look for the bud above each leaf scar

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Good point

[@user-xy8tc2hq6e]

i love to eat filipino cassava cake

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

That sounds delicious!!

[@jessicag630]

Do you prefer growing the white starchy ones or the yellow softer ones? Any advantages of one type over another?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I like the yellow ones. They’re more edible

[@Liesbeth22]

Is there a root, that's also called cassave, looks just like cassave, gets the wax treatment like cassave... but does start to sprout? I forgot 2 tubers I bought last year before summer. Instead of rotting they sprouted! Many, many sprouts.. roots are growing from the tuber and the forming sprouts are hard and tough and somewhat similar as how a ginger starts, with a tiny bulb. Do I have another sort of tuber? And which one? It was sold as cassave and truly looks just like it, but it is sprouting

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I can't tell you, I haven't seen a cassava grow that way

[@daphne8727]

Let me share w you how Asians eat Casava, one of my favourites 😊

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I'm in Thailand now and have had some great dishes with cassava

[@Amazonian-wm2fe]

​@HomesteadinHawaii Thank You. Just place my order.

[@xadieu01]

can you grow from the cassana instead of the roots

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I don't think so, They grow from the cutting, I haven't seen them regrow the way a sweet potato would

[@sheeve2003]

Do u ship to canada? I am filipino and cmCassava just grown everywhere in the Philippines..

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I think I can but don’t know if anything I have will do too well for you. I can get you cassav starts but my store says out of stock Etsy.com/homesteadinhawaii

Is it best to plant cassava in the spring?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

If you live in a colder climate, yes. Otherwise plant away

[@Nimbupudu]

You skipped over what to do when it’s flowering?!? I was lazy and pruned the flowering tips leaves too and brewed tea, tho I haven’t found any info on flower uses just leaf uses 😅 kinda worried, waiting on replies hopefully tea doesn’t kill me tonight

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Are you still there? But you should be fine, I've never heard of anyone dying from the flowers.

[@markwilliamson2795]

Is this true ? Cassava, an edible tuberous root often made into flour, contains cyanogenic glycosides, which can result in fatal cyanide poisoning if not properly detoxified by soaking, drying, and scraping before being consumed.....

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Some cassava varieties have more toxins than others. The kind we typically eat only needs to be boiled

[@jmdds]

the cyanide is in the skin only.

[@halsnyder296]

Sigh… our “soil” is mostly rock… How deep of soil is needed?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

My lot is rocky too. I laid out cardboard and brought truck loads of soil, manure and mulch about ten years ago and been building it ever since

[@markwilliamson2795]

@@HomesteadinHawaii Cardboard ? Why ? weed control ?

[@markwilliamson2795]

I was wondering if this could be grown in above ground tubes or boxes that could then be opened to harvest...no digging or damage....

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

@@markwilliamson2795 yeah, and it helps stimulate worms

Your cute

Thanks

[@elnegro8654]

You don't need 12 inches. 8 inches is fine

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

You just need 2 nodes really.

[@jmdds]

just try laying them down horizontally 10 to 12 inches long next time and one would get 4 times more cassava roots.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I did that with one of the examples, no?

@@HomesteadinHawaii yes, you did, curious to see the results. I did the diagonal planting and it's worked great, but curious to see your results from the three methods.
