I listened in on a nutrition lecture and heard a pointed saying, ascribed to Ayurveda:
“With good food, medicine is of no need. With bad food, medicine is of no use.”
Sweet potatoes were prominent in the highly regarded traditional Okinawan diet – see my recent post. In March I ordered “southern” styled sweet potatoes, they arrived yesterday and today with the Ayurvedic prescription in my thoughts, I planted them.
Detailed instructions accompanied the package and, as recommended, I wetted their feet and waited till the sun was setting before planting them. I noticed that the Beauregard slips had not yet developed roots. I hope this will not be a problem.
