Good morning and welcome to today's show where I am showing off the results of yesterday's rock work. I did the Cactus Garden and the rose bushes along the front of the house.. Today on the show I have a special treat... I'm sure y'all remember those sweet potato sprouts that I started from an actual sweet potato.Well today on the show we're gonna be planting them. Also, we have our first tomato plants in the ground.. and of course there will be a peek at the cannabis plants..
Peace,
Last time I grew sweet potatoes i got heaps of leaves but no tubers - so I didn't do it again. Besides my idiot husband can't eat them, grr, so little point making the effort.
I'll be happy with just leaves if they climb the fence.. that would look pretty cool I think
They are nice plants. Can you eat the leaves?
Idk.. I've never tried it. In fact I've never grown sweet potatoes before.. this is all me territory for me
Well I had to go looking! Turns out, yes!

Potatoes can cause gas
That's why I switched to sweet potatoes.. the farts are that much sweeter
Let's hope you get a nice harvest this year!
🤞
Wait, can potatoes be actually grown from the sprouts?
!BBH
Correct. Let them grow and then cut them off and soak in water.. roots took 3 days
And I've been discarding mine all these while, damn.
Once they get long put them in some water and they grow roots.. plant and wait.. and hope
Haha awesome with the sweet taters! How the hell do you keep the dirt in the laundry basket?
That patch of desert is gonna look boss this summer!
The water company is already licking their chops
Nice setbof crops!
Those roots on those sweet potatoes are still tiny. Will they survive in soil? I have tried growing roots on some plants in water, but I let them grow subroots first before moving them into soil.
I'm not really sure. This is attempt number one.
