Only the leaves so far this season. It keeps us from having to buy greens for months and months, but it isn’t time to harvest until first frost (usually the first week of November.) And then we get to eat the tubers for months and months!
This is only my second year with it, so I hope it goes as well as the last time (which was in a different garden.) You enjoy your raspberries for me, and I’ll enjoy my sweet potatoes for you 🙂
miss my vines this summer:-( Yours look lovely…I put more in the composted ground, but the ones in my large pots looked great:-) Raised beds next year/pots in our cooler area….love them running amok!
Aren’t they fun? They’re even more amok now and that’s with us eating a vine full of leaves almost every day. Multipurpose crops are almost magical, I think.
I’m not sure about a salad. They have a strong flavor. Maybe try a nibble and see what you think? We chop them bite sized and cook them in our eggs in the morning and otherwise use them as a kale or chard cooked style leaf.

They look amazing!! Have you harvested any sweet taters yet?

Wow! I wish we had a long enough growing season to get reliable results, I love sweet potato!

great patch!
Thanks! I’m hoping they aren’t quite so crowded underground.
Yum and how pretty!!
Who needs paths anyway? 😉

I have yet to eat the leaves:-) I need to.What do they taste like and would they be good in salads?
