Garden Update: Early-November

Them's some sweet potatoes...

I’ve got a few posts rolling around in my head but, frankly, I just haven’t had much time recently.  Midterms were a few weeks ago and I gave 3 exams last Friday, so now that I have a window of downtime, here’s the last bit of updating for the garden.

Brooke gave up on the tomatoes weeks ago, after she crossed the at least 40 pint line for tomato sauce.  Seriously, that last batch of tomato sauce she made was a slog – I could tell she was totally done with tomatoes for the year.

But at the time, we still wanted to wait for the sweet potatoes.  Finally, just after Halloween, Brooke pulled out the potato crop to see what we ended up with.  Not too bad, but I don’t think we got as much as we did in Iowa.  Still, for our purposes, it was still a pretty good haul.

We haven’t tried eating any yet, but have no reason to think they won’t be solid.  Brooke’s busy processing pears from my aunt and uncle’s house, so these things aren’t exactly a priority.

Still, just wanted to post this for posterity’s sake.  We’ll probably plant some again next year, so we want to remember  how many we got this year!

  1. The first picture looks like embryos but hopefully will taste great. I tried grilling some with honey as the topping and they were good.
