What's your intention with the lomandra? Are you breeding for food fibre of both? I eat the immature seeds blanched or steamed. I call them asparagus peas. Delicious, and you get a long season with no pest damage. The ones in the sun are ready first but shaded clumps are much slower to ripen so even after some are hard and dry there's still green ones to be picked down by the creek.
Regarding the browning of the tubers, maybe blanching then baking the cubes would be helpful to arrest the enzymatic reaction if one had neighbours coming for dinner.
Sending fortitude to you and your family. May your crops demand less and give more while you focus on what matters most. Keep sharing the messy middle; we all learn faster from honest field notes.
I'm sorry to hear about your mother. While as you mentioned these things aren't unexpected as parents grow older, that knowledge doesn't make it necessarily easier, just different.

I've got nothing for the grated tubers other than embrace the black

Sending love to you and your family. Your parents are blessed to have you next door.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother, Shane. We are on parallel trajectories.
Shane,
All the best with your coming commitments. Send me a small archive if you want some off-site back up.
