Garden 2022: Asian Sweet Potato Problem

 A good while ago I noted that there were still five Asian sweet potatoes in the sweet potato bin. For some reason I had not eaten them and they were a bit soft.  Since I did not want to eat them, and I do love Asian sweet potatoes, I decided to pull up the weeds in the potato bed and plant them.  Just in case!  I had not idea that they would grow but was hopeful.

Well!  They DID grow!  I was so pleased.  Four of the five potatoes came up and began looking really good. 

THEN... I went out to look at them and what did I see? (Not popcorn popping on the apricot tree--which is a song the children in our church love to sing in the spring...)


The photographer who produces shots for this blog is very very not good, but even so, I think you can see what made me very UNhappy!  Well, since they are in the garden I am going to just leave them instead of yanking them up by the necks which was my first inclination.

Who could have eaten them down like this?  Not the alligators for sure.

So, we will see if any good news turns up...
