I could not believe how attached I got to my plants! I was thinking of long-time gardeners like you and many of the others here who have been saving seed for some time. (Can’t eve think about how many generations grandparents you guys are! LOL!) As a newby it is just so much fun to see how it all works! I’ll be interested to see how this sweet potato does. I’ll probably start another one or two before too long and have more than one sweet potato plant this year now that I know I have a happy place in the garden for it to grow.
Still wary of squash! LOL! Looking forward to trying those T squashes of Marcella’s!
After I lost two regular squash plants planted in the ground, to borers, I was mad as hell my squash had been murdered. I started looking for a way to outsmart those killers.
When I found the “T” squash, I went another step to not put it in the killer ground, and put it in that large planter with the plastic tower in the middle for a plant to grow up. Those moths/borers don’t like that plant to start with and it wasn’t in the ground for other killers to get to it, so it worked. That is the only squash I will ever grow. A pox on borers and ground dirt. You people plant in ground dirt but I don’t have the strength or physical ability to do that. I can deal with containers so I’m sticking to that.
