And, here's my secret. Back in the spring, we had some sweet potatoes that started growing. Instead of throwing them out, we cut off the eyes and stuck them in a really
big planter full of potting soil.
I watered the planter all through the summer. There were a lot of leaves, but I really had no idea what would happen. When the leaves started dying back, we harvested in
October.
You can tell that the sweet potatoes had a hard time growing in there since they're not perfect shapes. They may be funny, but they taste delicious! We were able to get about 10 pounds of sweet potatoes from two
nearly spoiled sweet potatoes from the cupboard.
Next time, I hope to come up with a new savory recipe with more of these delicious sweet potatoes.
