As one of the contributors of the Serangoon newsletter, I took the opportunity to introduce to the residents living in my constituency the beauty of ornamental sweet potatoes which they can grow to beautify their gardens.
These sweet potato cultivars are grown mostly as ornamentals that are admired for their colourful foliage and many gardeners thought they are inedible. To my surprise some time back, my community gardeners actually harvested the young shoots and cooked and ate them like a leafy vegetable, similar in manner, whcih they did with the common, all green and non-variegated counterpart.
The article is a short one and is published in this month’s issue of the Serangoon newsletter. For a more detailed treatment of the topic, do take a look at a lengthier article that is available from the Green Culture Singapore. website by clicking on this link.
