Gardening TIP: Live in the US? Now's a great time to start sweet potatoes inside. Just grab some organic ones (due to their lower levels of root inhibitor spray stuff) and stick a few toothpicks in it just like you would a regular potato. Soon, vines will sprout, which can be snapped off come summertime and transplanted into some nice loamy garden soil. Allow for full sun and a good amount of space when planning. Going the cheap route? Get a few red peppers from the store and save the seeds. Start them in February indoors, and keep them somewhere warm with as much light as possible. By July you'll be marveling at the horror of industrial ag, right in your own back yard. This also goes for pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes, although store bought tomatoes often have a high proportion of non-viable seeds.

Isaac posted:I got ouside area tl grow and i like sweet potato. Converting to southern hemisphere i think itd be june 6mo from now. Like potatoes, by root duplication. On the surface they send out long vines. The difference is that you start them from shoots, called slips, instead of root chunks. They also like a little more neutral soil and generally warmer temps.

BUCOLISM UPDATE [NORTHERN HEMISPHERE]: It is still frozen. However I will take a pic of the squirrels in the morning. We have so many. Also: Caught two mice tonight. I throw them in the compost but I know they'll find their way back in. Such is life in an urbanized former farm community.
