Beautiful harvest. Well done.

Tasty, too.

I planted a dozen broccoli plants in what was the melon bed.

Picked some scuppernongs.

I dug up one sweet potato plant.
I found these.

There are lots of these where the vine rooted in the ground. It started to rain so I had to stop. There are more of these small ones and at least 4 more slips to dig.

Same here!

Two sweet potatoes planted, this is the raised bed harvest:

After we got 1/2" of rain I was able to dig up some from where the vines rooted. Here's a few of them:

There's more in the plastic bag, a curing idea I read on the internet and am trying.

Current views:

Swiss chard front, turnips and peas in back.

View from the back.

Collards, Chinese cabbage, leaf lettuce, Roma tomatoes still producing in back.

I have a second bed with collards and Chinese cabbage planted.

Cabbage seeds planted late, experiment

Carrots planted around volunteer milkweed. I was going to pull the milkweed sprouts, but they have Monarch butterfly caterpillars, so I will wait.

I still need to plant arugula and collards seedlings.

Blueberry bushes, elderberries in the back (tall on right, medium on left). That's Alice getting a drink, one of my not-quite-ferals.

Found on the ground this morning.

It is very sweet.

Had to water all the newly planted brassicas and butterbeans today.
Then I dug 1 more sweet potato plant. When this slip first started growing I buried part of the vine along the trellis. This one had a lot more baking size potatoes. If I grow these again I will definately bury a portion of the early vine growth.
This is what I got today. I still need to dig the area to get some of the smaller ones.

Or leave a couple in the ground for an early start to next year's harvest. If they're deep enough and your winter is mild enough it might work out.

The Red Norlands I grow might would winter here as long as the ground was dry.

I don't think the sweet potatoes would make it. We do drop into the teens in winter. A few times in my life I recall it dropping below 10f for a few hours but that is not the norm.

I got this tomato today, I have pretty big hands too
