Tonights Sweet Potato Harvest

Some pictures from tonight's Sweet Potatoes Harvest.

If you have never dug sweet potatoes, it is like opening a present. You never know what is inside.

This year we grew our Sweet Potatoes under black plastic landscape fabric.

Here is a picture of what they looked like before I started to dig them. This variety is Georgia Jet.

We dug 8 hills tonight. Here are 4 hills in this row.

Next we pull back the fabric and drip tape.

Now time for the digging. Sometimes it feels more like excavating!

I pulled back and took this picture. You can see a potato growing over and out of the next hill.

Repeat for the other hills, then you are all done.
