Wow!

One of the plants I like to use in container gardening is the ornamental sweet potato. Last year Peyton planted one, and I planted one.

This afternoon while Melanie and I were chatting in front of my apartment, I began to pull out some of the dead material from the pots. Look what I found...






Peyton's sweet potato vine produced a potato! I've never had this happen before, and mine didn't produce anything except roots. Peyton was so proud. If I'd known it was there last fall, I'd have pulled it up and cooked it for him. LOL!

Isn't it still edible? That's really great!

And... last night for dinner one of the things I had to eat was..... *drumroll*.... FRIED OKRA!

No, it froze during the cold winter we've had. There are some soft spots on it. You should have seen Peyton's face. :D

YAY! I'm about ready for some more fried okra, too. :D
