In rows? In dirt? I've been meaning to ask Paul to rip a line in the "dirt" with the dozer, then plant the slips and then cover them with wasted hay and compost.<br />Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-45095881525194192712014-04-27T19:48:28.148-04:002014-04-27T19:48:28.148-04:00Sf - Like I said it is good to try new stuff.

I figure I should get as much growing each year as I can handle and try new varieties.

With the right spices, it actually tastes pretty good and very similar to pumpkin pie.<br /><br />It's good to have some rain to help the fields, and gardens however, enough with the darn grass. Who wants to have to cut the grass more than once a week .....right??<br /><br />Congrats on the new babies!!! 21 is a Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-71498588754358367872014-04-26T22:51:26.496-04:002014-04-26T22:51:26.496-04:00I don't like sweet potatoes.

But in a pinch, they are excellent food in terms of nutritional value. I planned to have a big garden this spring, got all motivated by everyone's blogs. But I haven't done anything yet, except help my wife set up her herb garden in the glass Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
