:drool :drool :drool :drool thanks everyone! I can't wait to try those recipes!!! :celebrate

In Salad? cooked? I have never had it before I started growing it. Dh got it because it was pretty :rolleyes: ...but he has never eaten it also!

My chickens are on "lock down" while my garden is growing. I learned last year the hard way! They ate an entire bed of beautiful collard greens among other things!!! :somad I will let them out only if someone is going to be out there to protect the garden.

momofdrew: the wood he used to make the grids on the beds was the thin wood found in the trim section at home depot. Sorry I don't know the exact name....neither does he and he bought it! :rolleyes:

ahhh... never even thought about the difference in growing season. :P They do tend to spread out a bit, but I grew them in my raised beds shown in the post earlier. I did not really hill them like the sweet potatos , and to be honest i didn't even think I had anything but the vines at first...

Hasn't anyone else just tried planting them the same way as regular potatos? :/ Mine grew like crazy last year and we had so many we ended up giving a bunch away. Just wondering why everyone else takes so many steps when we practically just threw them in the ground and had great success? :idunno

I will ask DH what it is called...it is some kind of molding i think... :idunno last year we measured and eyeballed it... pain in the neck! this is much easier to keep track of...and as Mel says 'If there is no grid then it is not a square foot garden! " :coolsun Thanks! ;)

Hey there! :frow

Thanks! Weeding is sooo much easier this way. I never wanted to garden until i read about this method. I tried it last year and absolutely loved it! :celebrate

:/ I know, bad pic but she is a girl. ;) Sorry you are still under snow, I am sure you will be growing great things in no time!

Thanks! :D

My garden is coming along well I think...Here is the garden... Here are some of the beds that have things coming up.... Strawberries: Potatos: misc. veggies: And our first harvest: Radishes!

Last year I planted sweet potato also. I planted them the exact same way as I planted the regular potato. Cut up the potato into sections with good eyes, let them dry out for a day or 2, then popped them in the ground. Had a bumper crop!! Boy were they delicious! :drool I can't wait for this...

I grew sweet potatoes last year. They were great! I grew them like I grew my other potatoes and they took over! They were quite yummy too! ;)

me too! :frow same name :watering

thanks for the replies....but which do you think is better for the plants...watering the base of the plant or watering and wetting all of the leaves along with what time of day. We have different views on both!

I am having a debate with my Dh.. :rolleyes: What is the best way to water the garden??? He just won't listen to what I think is the best. I will not reveal what I think until I get some un-biased opinions. Thanks in advance for helping to settle a friendly debate.

:thun :thun :thun :thun :thun :hit :hit :hit :hit :hit :hit oh well..I will know for next time ;)

Is it to late to harvest if it has started to flour??? Does it turn bitter like some of the other lettuce types do?

same here. I planted organic potatoes, sweet potatoes and red potatoes and all are growing great.
