I bought a salad jicama at KTA and left it sitting on the counter a bit too long - the fool thing sprouted. I’ve been just kind of standing back and letting it go to see what it would do and it now has two long slender shoots about 12-15 inches long, each topped with a feathery pink frond. It’s reaching for the sun and it’s getting a bit intrusive so it’s got to be moved but I’m not sure what to do with it. Do I bury the whole jicama, right up to where the sprouts take off? A jicama is a root, isn’t it? Should I expect it to propagate more little jicama, like a potato, or…what? Anybody? Mahalo.
use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
