So, back in
mid-January I finished harvesting my purple sweet potatoes. Despite this being
the first time that my children helped with the harvest, they did a great job.
All told, by January we had harvested 278 pounds. Each variety did very well. I harvested plenty Dingess Purple, Alabama Purple (or Purple Delight) and All-Purple. Even a friend's pink variety did well.

Though I had hoped to
sell some on Craigslist, we may be eating a lot of them. That’s alright because
my kids don’t mind eating lots of sweet potatoes. (=
