After listening to @Jack Spirko awesome show on growing sweet potatoes, I decided to give it a try. Turns out, it is too cold here in Alaska. I tried three varieties advertised as cold hardy. O'Henry did the best. They all survived, one grew a 18" long vine. Most of the Beauregards survived, but didn't grow. Most of the Georgia Jets died. I will try O'Henry inside the greenhouse next year. For reference, I am in zone 6a, average 487 growing-degree-days (F) per year and the hottest it got at my house this summer was 73F. #alaska #gardening

I had a good garlic harvest this year. What's your favorite recipe that contains a lot of garlic? #asknostr #gardening image

GM My kids are back in school. My house guests have gone home. My wife is out of town. I have the house to myself. I can do whatever I want for the first time in a long time. I think I am going to clean the gutters and burn some sticks.
