Last school year, the 4th graders, along with the gardening club, planted a dry-land lo`i kalo.
Thanks to Mrs. Sharon Aldueso, we were able to plant over 50 huli (stems). The lo`i thrived and was now ready for harvesting. Thanks to the expertise of Mr. Matsumoto's son, Kaipo, we were educated about when to harvest the plants. Kaipo noticed that the corm was showing, so he said it was definitely ready for us to harvest! It was hard work, but so much fun to dig our hands into the soil and pull out the kalo! The students did a great job! We will now clean the corms, replant the huli/stems, and have Mr. Joe Esta and Ms. Liana Kilaulani (in the cafeteria), help us to boil the corm.
Mahalo, Mrs. Wong
