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!

if there's no mush, tuck er back in the pot. she's got another growing season to trail thru.

i have one waiting in the cellar but i forgot to water it all winter. it's in dirt so maybe it'll still be good. or not.

Unfortunately, it has some soft spots. :( Otherwise, I'd have done just that. The vine I planted didn't produce a potato, though.

Good luck with yours. :D
