Sweet Potatoes Anyone?

A few days prior to our son and daughter-in-law's visit, Strongheart spent time in the garden harvesting our sweet potatoes.  He ended up with four bushels of sweet potatoes, out of the 16 sweet potato plants that he started.


These are just a few of the very first ones that he dug.


While some of them were small (will make terrific baked fries),
as you can see some of them were quite huge.

What will we do with four bushels of sweet potatoes you ask?
We will share them.
As a matter of fact, he took a half bushel of them to church this morning to share with our church family there.  
Not a single one was left.

  1. It's so nice to be able to share produce! Our church has a table set out through the end of summer for people to give and take extras from the garden.
