Some Uganda Vegetables
(1943) Purseglove, J.W.; Uganda Protectorate
There is at present a marked shortage of vegetables in East Africa caused by the large increase in European population, the prolonged import, drought and the difficulty of importing European vegetable seeds. Greater use could be made of native spinaches and pot-herbs many of which occur as common weeds and provide a palatable addition to the European menu. Even in normal times the maintenance of a steady supply of fresh green vegetables is often a difficult problem, especially when on safari.
