The first 1000 of the two thousand sweet potato plants we grow are in. Next week we hope to get the second round planted. Sweet potatoes are one of our favorites to grow, eat and harvest! They're relatively low maintenance up until the harvest, which is super time consuming and heavy work. They are personally one of our fave veggies to eat and we love how long they keep. We're just finishing up the few we had kept for ourselves from last year's crop! Fermented mashed sweet potatoes were Tulsi's first food, and its something that she can actually help us harvest since its like digging for buried treasure. New workers are always surprised to see the sad looking slips that they grow from. Its amazing how they come back to life once you get them in the ground!
