Sweet Potatoes for a Happy Thanksgiving!

Gardening is so fascinating because there is always another level to it's profound nature.  Digging

through the dirt can reveal a lot of information about the health and vigor of the plant.  If the soil is healthy then generally the plant is healthy (assuming it's the right plant in the right place). Getting your hands dirty can be really rewarding, especially today. I've been removing the Summer annuals as they start to lose their spark.  A third of the containers displayed an ornamental sweet potato vine, in either chocolate or chartreuse foliage. The plants are decorative and eye catching, additionally they provide an edible sweet potato tuber. I pulled nine edible sweet potatoes out of the containers. Today's yield is going to Assistant Superintendent Josh to take home in an attempt to make a sweet potato pie just in time for Thanksgiving. These plants may not be quite as flavourful as the grocery store variety, but completely edible. Maybe dig around in your home containers and throw them in your next meal!
