Good job Jayne. Love the 'drip system' on the potato patch! Is that grass clippings for mulch on the bean patch?

Thanks everyone. I just got the melons, cucumbers, and squash in. They should be up soon. I am running out of space...gonna have to get the tractor out and plow up another section soon. That is alfalfa in the bean patch Mary. It is everywhere except under the corn. The squash will grow there to shade the soil. I am afraid of grass clippings...don't want no stinkin bermuda sprouting in my veggie beds. I won't even grass it in the compost tumbler. The drip system in the potato patch has a cap on the bottom of the PVC tube and the tube has holes drilled in it so I can deep water. I felt like I did not get the water deep enough last year. I always said when I retired I was going to put up a stand on the corner, take my laptop out there and sell organic veggies and day trade. I'm close...the HOA is being real mean about the stand though.

How big of a container are you using for the sweet potatoes Jayne?

Got any update pic's of the corn field and bean patch?

Those sweeties are in my old Explorer tires. I will get updated pics of the corn field and bean patch this evening.

Dan, I planted three shoots from the sweet potato Jayne left with me a week ago in a half whiskey barrel. Her recommendation was three slips for that size container. Keep them shaded until roots are established.

I plant mine 1/sq ft in my little square foot garden. They do well but grow all over - lol.
