Sweeeet!

This morning I decided to see how the sweet potatoes were coming along. I love digging them up. It's like a treasure hunt. I wanted to cure some to cook for Thanksgiving and needed a few weeks to make that happen. Mission accomplished! There are still some plants out there and I will harvest them later on. If you remember from my earlier blog, these potatoes are from one that I saved from our organic produce delivery. I wasn't sure how it would work out. Making my own potato slips has proven to be a good frugal gardener tip.

I also managed to train the sugar snaps up the former Cucumber Harp. It is now the Sugar Harp. At least, for another month or so. I noticed a lot of the lettuce is growing in now too. I had to plant it twice because I neglected it the first time around and all of the lettuce shriveled up in a dry spell.

Small confession...I have not been in the garden hardly at all lately. There are a lot of changes going on in our home. My body also doesn't like it when I'm bent over or digging thanks to this enormous belly I'm sporting. I'm torn about investing too much time in the garden. With the cold season coming, I will probably blog more on food! But, no worries. Next year's garden is going to be exceptional. Just wait and see!

Think Bigger. MUCH bigger.
