sweet potatoes did good this year, I think we did 8 or 10 plants that my wife started from a sweetpotatoe she got at the store, then we tried corn this year also, it did prety good, we have a mill so we will use it as corn meal if we like it.
topmatoes and peppers did not as well and squash bugs took out most of the squash, the oakra did prety good but not as well as previous years.

Wow Clifford, that's a nice harvest of sweet potatoes & corn! I've not tried sweet potatoes yet, but will surely try them in the future. Is that glass gem corn? It looks to have a glossy sheen to the kernels.

Dirty hands + a sweaty handkerchief = hope for the future.

I grew these guys, I GREW THESE!

I'm so freaking proud of myself this year.

This is not all of them, but my wife couldn't help but want to have some decorative gourds displayed for the world to see.
