In the spring I had two large sweet potatoes left over from a friends garden that never found their way into some delicious meal. The potatoes made slips so I mounded up some dirt and planted them.
I decided this morning to see what action was going on beneath the soil. I laughed in delight when I unearthed my very first sweet potato!
I gathered around eight pounds of lovely sweet tasties. I added a little more soil and gave the plants some water.
I am may just bake a sweet potato pie today!
Enjoy your day!
Mmm, sweet potatoes…one of my favourite foods.
One of my favs too! Thanks for checking out my blog. Take care, Anna
I have been told you can eat the leaves as well – I haven’t grown one yet, but intend to try next year.
You were told correctly! This is my first year growing sweet potatoes in our garden so we did not try eating the leaves:) Good luck with you garden next year! Take care, Anna
Sweet potato leaves have pretty good nutrients. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2664/2. Steamed leaves are very soft. I like your garden!
Wow! We will give the leaves a whirl! Thanks for the link. Thank you again for visiting my little world:) Take care, Anna
