Unlike many areas, in South Texas the autumn is a time to plant vegetables. This year we're going to try growing sweet potatoes.
We went to the oriental grocery because the internet told me that there are varieties of sweet potatoes grown in the Far East that are different from the ones grown here. We got 2 of their red-colored sweet potatoes. We also hot a standard orange one from our regular grocery store.
The one in front is the orange one. It has sprouted several slips, but the little stems aren't showing much root at all. The other two sweet potatoes are just sitting there. We will see what comes to pass. I have heard that it can take a while.
The season is finally turning for us, and we have hope that we're through with the 100-plus days now. (38+ in Celsius degrees.)
