Yes, I'm familiar with taro root. Most of the edible roots (carrot, potato, garlic, onion, radish) seem to do fine here, so maybe taro will as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Decomposed > I've never heard of 'Gabi' but if you tell me a little more about it, maybe I'll plant it next year.


Well De,
Gabi seems to grow from bulbs and overwinter OK down here. But remembering that the Philippines is tropical to near tropical . . . I don't know how well they would do up there.

And that is probably the reason your 'Setow' beans did not do well. When the summer is very hot those beans just scream up the trellis (grow very fast) but when (or if) it is cool they just sulk.

Learn something new every day . . . Seems 'Gabi' is more well known as 'taro'.

Gabi is the plant bearing the scientific name Colocasia esculenta. It is more known in English as taro. Taro Plants / Gabi Field Laing is a Bicolano dish whose main ingredient is taro leaves stewed in coconut milk with chilis.

The first picture is the 'bulbs' or, I guess, taro roots. The second picture you can see the 'elephant ear' leaves.

She dries, then cooks and eats the leaves. To me they look like a pretty tropical ornamental.
