Local spuds
Meg and I walked to Tipperary Springs this morning and collected Yam daisies from the forest to grow in our garden. Yams are local to this area as well as many other parts of Australia, and were a significant staple for the local mob, the Djadjawurrung. The Yams taste similar to potatoes and have a flower similar to a dandelion.
