Granny's gone and done it again

I'm taking my bedtime meds about 8:30 my time. By 9:30 they may help me get to sleep. Tomorrow afternoon I'm hoping to get my onions in the ground. I've got 250+ plants to get set as quick as possible. Wish I could have gotten them in the ground 2-3 weeks ago. Need to build a place for some Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes tomorrow afternoon to. Sweets are ordered and the Irish are in town now. The Irish are 10 day late going in now. I think I have some snow pea seed to plant in the box. If I find them they are going in the ground. Got to have them for stir fries.

Do you know how to deal with sweet potatoes after harvest to acquire the best flavor? Sallypb has been experimenting with them trying to get the best flavor.
 
I don't remember every seeing a Portuguese Man of War jelly fish on a FL beach. I don't know where they normally are. I know a sting by one of those is bad.
I saw them many times in Daytona over the years.

Flavor can be as much from variety as well as post season handling. Post season handling has to be done so they will keep also. Some people dry them in the field a day or two, I do not remember how long now, and then put them in cardboard boxes and store them under their beds. I was told not to move the box but to take a handful out as needed. There was something about moving the potatoes in the box that would shorten their storage life. I was told by a grower to just remove them from storage layer by layer. I can see some people wanting to dig around in the box looking for the best ones and possibly doing damage to the less than perfect ones that would taste the same as a perfect looking one. Being picky might be doing damage and getting expensive.
 
Pert I've bought sweet potato plants from here since the 70's and they have never steered my wrong. Commercial varieties are the most productive because growers have to make a profit to grow them but they may not have the best flavor. The best flavor may produce fewer but tasted better. I'd suggest that anyone should buy a few plants of several varieties that would grow in their climate. Northern folks don't have the choices I have way down south. I think the way up north variety is Georgia Jets as the mature quicker than some. This year I'm growing a patented Covington variety. Uniform size and shape. I hope they are good with flavor and texture. I know they will be good enough to eat and hopefully will can well.

I am on something starts with a p already.
Prilosec?

they found out he really had a blood cancer.
Yikes, that should have showed up in a CBC! (Blood count). I've had 2 husbands with leukemia plus a friend and other people too. Can't believe his drs missed it!

Peanuts are extremely dangerous to a very few but to those they are deadly. A boy a couple or so decades ago ate some crackers that had just a touch of peanut butter on them and after eating them he just gave his 13-15 year old girlfriend a peck kiss and it killed her. I believe that happened in Canada. The story made national news.
I remember hearing this story. Shocking, and sad. That poor kid has had to live with this.
