Thanks for making the thread.
I had another growing season of less time than I hoped to have. Did well with about 15 types of tomatoes, not so well with cucumbers, peppers. Weather was more fluctuating than some summers, and late season I didnt have time.
To my surprise, my first year growing sweet potatoes did ok. I grew them in 2 blue kid pools which I made some holes for drainage and piled up wood chip mulch real high. Planted the slips in pockets of about two handfuls of dirt in multiple places in the top of the heap of mulch. Watered a few times (they got rained on at times as well) and got 5 good sized sweet potatoes and a lot of fingerling sized. I’ll be revising next year but good to know some normal to large ones can come from container planting.
sorting through my tomato seeds because even though some were very productive, they were bland or otherwise ones I don’t care to use growing space for again.
still have some garden area to clean up for Fall, but already thinking ahead to 2026! Happy November to Everyone!
Great success with the Sweet Potatoes - they are one of the harder things to grow - unless you’re a southern Sweet Potato Farmer by trade. ;)
My first year growing sweet potatoes as well. Mine are still in the ground. Did you do anything special to cure them? I’m planning on using a heating pad, a box and a bowl of water for humidity.
