That's good to know Hotcatz, I'll have to try that. I've been trying to get into saving seeds from local produce I get from the market and have Roma and Cherry tomatoes growing that way. It's been unusually dry up here lately, but over all I've had better luck putting things in containers rather than the garden. When I dug my garden beds I put over a foot of cinders on the bottom and then covered with soil and compost, but it still seems like things get "water logged". I'm starting over by trying lasagna gardening. I put a bunch of newspaper down over the weeds and then cardboard and watered it down well, and have been adding chicken compost on top. I want to get some stuff in while we're in the dry period up here.
I love playing in the dirt Mella, it brings out the kid in me. Although I'm nine months pregnant now, so it's getting a little tougher to bend over..
I have something called varigated sweet potato I got from Paradise Plants about 6 months ago. It took over a portion of my garden, and I just started to dig it up to move it somewhere else and discovered lots of potatoes. The sweet potatoes have a white skin and a white inside. Has anybody cooked with this kind before?
Aloha, Angela
