I remember when I was a kid and we grew sweet potatoes on the farm. We had them on a rocky terrace, and some of those were grotesque shaped to say the least.

Wish we could grow Sweet Potatoes around here. It can be done, but you need a longer growing season, so a lot depends upon the way summer shakes out and you need lots of black plastic and mulch to keep them warm.

Boss grew sweet potatoes for years and we graded them at the store in between customers, sold them at the store and drew in a lot of customers.

We always had a lineup on the counter—everything from dinosaurs to doves to heart shapes and puppies. Yes, we are easily amused! LOL

Well, I wish I had pictures of the carrots we pulled in the garden about two years ago. The mods would probably pull the picture anyway.
