Nalani has been faithfully watering a sweet potato plant that Jason planted in our backyard. We were getting a lot of leaves on the plant, and it was starting to spread nicely. Some of the leaves were even getting purple on them.
Hokulani went outside to water it this morning and discovered that most of the leaves were gone! At first Jason thought an animal had eaten them, but the stems are cut straight across. Someone stole our sweet potato leaves! We can't believe someone would actually come into our backyard and cut the leaves. Why?
This is a picture of what's left. It's a little hard to tell with all the grass around it, but there are still some small leaves left.
This picture shows the cut stems:
Here's a closer picture of the cut stems. Jason's fingers (blurred at the bottom) are holding one of the stems.
