That is what it is because some of this stuff broke the laws of nature.
I just transplanted all of the sweet potatoes that survived the winter here into the raised beds.
Last year I let one vine grow up into a container and this spring it rewarded me with several slips.
Plus other ones coming up in places I didn't plant sweet potatoes.
My conclusion is at least here you can leave some in the ground for next year and this is what I did.
The ground doesn't freeze here so it wont kill the potato just the stuff above ground.
I have my four tomato plants taken care of and my two pepper plants are doing good.
The soil in the little bed is fantastic it is full of critters and fungus breaking down dead matter.
A white fungus layer all in it.
Next I am going to start soaking my okra seeds to get them going.
There is also a 3 foot tall Crape Myrtle that has sprouted from seed this year in the garden I need to transplant.
