My autist son loves carrots so he’ll be the official caretaker of the carrot plants. Good introduction to gardening and patience. I could take or leave them. Just discovered recently that he likes yams aka sweet potatoes which isn’t surprising since he likes carrots. I’m not messing with those this year.
I’ve got asparagus growing in the top of the barrel, the bottom is for the goat’s water and have that middle leftover. Barrels had food type stuff in them originally. I’ve got Muscade carrot seeds that I got from rareseeds last year.
Both of these are you tubes from "Deep South Homestead.
Growing Sweet potatoes. (A long grow survival crop.)
1)Growing the slips that you will plant. No messing around with pans or buckets of water! Bury them in soil in your cold frame. Use long skinnys not fat thick ones. They will send up the slips. See:
2)Planting them. Takes a forked stick and pushes them down in the prepared bed.
