Granny's gone and done it again

My surgeon sold me to never put another Prilosec or Nexium in my mouth. Kidney damage possible. It's worth looking at its side effects. One such med I think has been pulled of the shelves because of law suits.

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.

They probably would work good here but I have no one to help me eat them

Just root one potato from the market and plant it in a 5 gallon bucket and you can at least say you have done some good. You only need just one of the little pieces of vine with a root or two on it.

I remember one year before I was even a teen when my dad planted a sweet potato patch. I remember him making ridges and ever foot of so he just took a piece of vine about a food long and put the middle of the vine on top of the ridge and pushed it into the sandy ground and my mom put some water on it. I do not remember anything about the harvest. He could have sold them in the patch.

I read a biography of George Washington Carver when in Junior High. One of his inventions was paint from sweet potatoes. No lead in his paint.

We got the rack built for breeding pens built today for one side of the new hoop house. Next I'm building another hoop house to be used as a clinic coop for the girls and boys that need special attention while they mend. Now that I have a finished model I really like I'm going to make pieces as I can and then just use help to put them together.

He's OK. Bald almost but is ok. He can't take chances of getting infections because his immune system is compromised from all the treatments he went through and had John Hopkins not been a research hospital he wouldn't be here. He had to take far more chemo to keep him going a second time while they found a match for a bone marrow transplant. His middle child, a daughter was the only close match and it worked.

Take a look at this place. They have do many interesting things. Including poultry
