Folks got an eye full of the giant white Japanese sweet potato. Huang Pau, the farmer that grew the monsters said they were a favorite for making potato bread. The last couple of week Liz Stewart from the Heritage Foundation - besides her resource lists for historic Chapmantown, brought her crocket set and adults and kids had fun playing a game us old folks had not played in decades, and the young folks had never played.






Discussion of yam bread, raising yams, and yam breeding lead to many seriously delicious discussions. For example: these are Japanese White Yams. They are favorits as yam (potato) bread. They get large!! They love sandy soil to grow in.











We decided that come November we will be having a Yam Harvest Festival with cooking demo's, taste testings, recipies, and more yam yarns.







It will be all about the wonderful variety, usefulness, nutritional values and variability and the great delicacies of yams.

So this is the text about the radio interview.
