Sweet Potato Soup with Fennel and Paprika by Eliot

Sweet Potato Flowers and a Good Harvest

Sweet Potato Flowers and a Good Harvest by Eliot

Sweet Potato Flowers and a Good HarvestBy Eliot, on October 23rd, 2011We have never grown sweet potatoes before. It was just on a whim last spring that I picked up some plugs at the nursery.
