A day of improvements

[purpletigron]

Today I have: Finished up my paying project, spoken to and guilt-tripped into some sort of action Mater's CPN R, sorted out Mater's bank woes, supplied Mater with a neck-chain for her door keys, helped a friend plant sweet potatoes and do some weeding, had tea and a nice walk with Mater, arranged my new volunteer position, booked the builder to come and quote for the next tranch of work we need doing, picked up cat supplies, and made lovely plans for a long weekend.

I feel mighty, and far more relaxed.

How well do the sweet potatoes do?

I haven't had that much luck and I live in sunny California. I suspect it was gophers and getting too dry.

It is illegal to send sweet potato slips into California. However they are pretty easy to start from a sweet potato from the supermarket.

I believe these are hardy cultivars. HDRA did a trial about 5 years ago, and some people got reasonable harvests growing outdoors in the UK. So it's a little bit of a novelty.
