Sweet Potato Harvest

avatar

The season is reaching it's end and frost is coming. So ahead of our two week camping trip, it's time to pull up our sweet potatoes!

Pulling up the vines and putting them in our compost, it exposes the dark dirt underneith. I can already see the sweep potatoes

Close up, we can see the large tubers sticking out. They're huge!

The compost from last year has turned very dark and rich, ready for next year's planting and harvesting. We'll have a lot more compost by next spring.

The sweet potatoes are stained by the dark soil, but are large and healthy looking. Next we wash them and dry them out before they're ready to eat.

We estimated about 50 pounds of sweet potatoes! We buy them from the grocery store for about $1.00/lb so this is a valuable harvest!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

We fry those like french fries but dip them in brown sugar first. It makes for a nice dessert. 😀

This post is making me think of roasted root vegetables. Cut sweet potatoes, carrots, swede, parsnips, beetroot - whatever you have to hand - into chunks. Toss them in some olive oil, put them in a roasting dish, add some thyme sprigs, and bake them in an oven till tender. You can add a tiny bit of salt when you serve it.

That is a nice haul! 50 pounds should last awhile for sure. That is one crop I've never planted, usually because they were so inexpensive in the store. Great job!

It's the easiest thing in our garden that produces. Plant and forget, then dig up the treasure! !BBH
