Thank you for the ping.

I have not had nearly the time as previous years to spend in the garden but still enough to harvest some things.

So far only three light frosts this fall so I still have some veggies yielding at this time.

I have dug half of my sweet potatoes, and plan to do the rest today. I planted some fall radishes, spinach, turnips, a few snow peas, onions and a good number of my tomatoes plants survived the light frost. I noticed yesterday I also might have another picking of green beans.

The weather forecasters say things are about to change by the end of this upcoming week. And rain is said to be moving my direction sometime later today. If the forecasters are correct sounds like this will be my last week for harvesting and time to begin to put the garden space to clean up and rest during the winter months.

Noticed your plans to dig your sweet potatoes. How do you preserve them? Can, freeze, dry storage? This is my first year to get a few sweet taters and I need to dig mine also. Have been delaying the job because I’m not sure how to store/preserve them. Any ideas would be welcome!!!
