Sweet potato leaves are edible. Sautéed with olive oil and garlic, they are delicious.

Incredible source of magnesium. I had a CVS pharmacist tell me that years ago.

Important note: sweet potatoes grow by SLIPS! (The vine). Plant a potato, grow a vine. Plant a vine, grow the tuber roots - aka sweet potato! ♡

@fanceeist 2 месяца назад

So if I put a sweet potato in the ground, will I just get a bunch of vines? Or will I actually get more potatoes once it vines out? Thank you!

@honeybee52000 2 месяца назад

@fanceeist correct. Plant the potato to get the Vines. Snip the Vines and put in soil - - the Vines create roots (tubers), and those are delicious!

You can still grow tomatoes in the summer here. Stick to cherry tomatoes like Florida Everglades tomato and any Florida bred F1 hybrid / heat master that are built to take on the heat. If you are still concerned you can buy 30% shade cloth

In Polk county, never had a garden, would like to start. Any tips where to start? I saw your planning book,. I did not see a link for it. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@WildFloridian Месяц назад

Howdy neighbor! First step is decide on your goals. Veggies, butterflies,etc? My guess is you are a veggie person, so I would use the summer to pick your space, start ordering seeds and materials to build for fall. You can grab the planner at www.wildfloridian.net/planner and I would recommend the bundle with my book which really gives the framework for all types of gardening in Florida. Wishing you the very best!

@juliannegill5486 2 месяца назад

If you can put in a partial shade area that doesn't get the afternoon sun, you can still grow it. It's all about your garden's microclimate. If you don't have that type of area, you can always create shade for it.
