Default More Sweets

Yesterday I dug the five sweet potato hills and they totaled 14 lbs. Add to that the five pounds from the trellis hill and there are enough sweet potatoes to suit us. The two largest were 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 lbs. Most were "regular" size, whate3ver that is with sweet potatoes!





The sweets are now doing their two week cure in the garden shed. They are in baskets which are inside plastic trash bags with the shed temp around 88 degrees right now. The bags capture the moisture driven off the curing potatoes, providing the needed humidity factor but there are holes in the bags to let out any excess moisture and prevent rot. It’s a method I read about online and it worked fine last year.
