Delayed potatoes, forgotten Asparagus, lost seedlings, flowering Rhubarb and more are in this weeks garden observation. Unfortunately, sickness and the weather will keep me from getting any of these tasks completed... #chittingpotatoes #rhubarbflower 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

The easiest way to make more sweet potato. #propagatingsweetpotato #sweetpotatoslips 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Last few days before the plant sale but I need to get these potatoes in the ground last week. #plantingpotatoes 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Started indoors early on will mean early and long harvest of this prolific fruit. Also having them elevated and on a clean surface means easy, less waste harvest. #auntmollysgroundcherry 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden
