I used some to thicken up a stew yesterday, along with some pumpkin, and it was delicious and full of flavour. What can you grow where you are? I expect there'll be something that I wish I could grow here but would be unable to because of the climate. Thanks for visiting.

I never ice it so that really keeps the sugar content down. Freshly whipped cream instead is perfect! Sometimes, if it's not for the school lunchbox, I will add nuts to it. Chopped walnuts are nice:) Thanks for visiting, my lovely friend.

The area where they grow in the ground is very wide and so the vines can ramble happily. The soil there is deep and free draining. I mulch around them too. I have started new plants off by using the tubers.

So me!!<br />It seems you snip off tendrils and replant them, is this how you do it? Or do you just let it ramble and grow and it sprouts more sweet potatoes? Any advice would be appreciated, or a post!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900993246451486017noreply@blogger.com
