I have grown sweet potatoes the last couple years and have done pretty well. Tried some purple ones this year. They finally have cured out and look amazing. Unfortunately they taste more like regular potatoes…. Live and learn!

Growing root vegetables is such a low time preference activity.

You see so much activity above ground but you have no idea what's going on below ground.

😆 For real! “How’s the sweet potatoes going?” … No idea!

We had so much early rain this year most of my regular sweet have big splits in them. First time ever seeing that!

The temptation to go rummaging in the soil is high 😂

There is a life metaphor imbedded in this note 🤙

It's kind of rare that you can't get even a hint at what the outcome will be.

Having children is the closest metaphor that I can draw on.

Raising children is like growing potatoes. 😂

How do you grow them? Raised beds or another method?

Yep, raised beds. Here’s a photo right after the first frost and I harvested them.

Nice, yeah they are an easy plant.
