sweet potatoe harvest time

[goeduck]

I actually like a sweet potato simply baked. Does not need anything on it, good as is.

You have them confused with another veggie!---they are simply "sweet potatoes" ---- also they are NOT yams either!--a lot of people confuse these!

And a single one is spelled potato (note title^^). In spite of what Dan Quayle thought.

My neighbor showed on FB using his mini ex to dig his sweet potatoes.

I'm impressed with the harvasts. And I thought the Puerto Rican Pink I grew that weighed 3 lbs was a big one! Also, I have root cellar envy. I've always wanted one. They are not common in my neck of the woods.

Handy if you have a hillside to burrow into for a root cellar....but you can build up a mound of dirt to make it. I have a mountain that rises almost 1000' from the lower part of my place to the top. My house is built into it, with the garage having 7' of dirt/shale against the upper side of it. I dug out a hole with excavator, then cut a hole in block wall into the hole.

Poured by hand a small footer, then laid 8" block to make an 8x10' room.

Put a temporary roof of 2x lumber, then had the roof poured 6" thick.

Put 2" foam board on top the concrete, then backfilled with couple feet of dirt. Couple coats of paint, shelving and lights to finish off the inside. Also put some 6" Pvc tubes for outside air. One has a small 'duct booster' fan on a timer to draw colder night air in starting in the fall.

That is a beautiful root cellar.
