Sheepishly, I bowed my head and sort of muttered I didn’t plant any sweet potatoes this year. I feel like I am about to break out in hives knowing what I am about to write. Knowing I was going to do this, I even sought counsel from other southern horticulturists.
My beautiful Sweet Caroline Medusa Green spilling over the wall is in year two, and so is My Illusion Midnight Lace growing in a container. My Illusion Emerald Lace is in year three, and my dollar-rescue-off-death-row clearance at the big box store is in year four.
