  1. #SweetPotato Companions: Best #CompanionPlants For Sweet Potatoes

    By Liz Baessler
    last updated June 18, 2021

    Excerpt: "So what are some of the best companion plants for sweet potatoes? As a rule of thumb, root vegetables, such as #parsnips and #beets, are good sweet potato companions. Bush beans are good sweet potato companions, and certain varieties of pole beans can be trained to grow along the ground intermingled with sweet potato vines. Regular potatoes, though not actually closely related at all, are also good sweet potato companions. Also, aromatic herbs, such as thyme, oregano and dill, are good sweet potato companions. Sweet potato weevil, a pest that can wreak havoc on crops in the Southern United States, can be deterred by planting summer savory nearby.

    What You Shouldn’t be Planting Next to Sweet Potatoes

    The biggest problem with planting next to sweet potatoes is their propensity to spread. Because of this, one plant to avoid, in particular, when planting next to sweet potatoes is squash. Both are strong growers and fierce spreaders, and putting the two next to each other will only result in a fight for space in which both will likely be weakened. Even in the case of companion plants for sweet potatoes, be aware that your sweet potato vine will grow to cover a very large area, and take care that it doesn’t crowd out its beneficial neighbors."

    We humans eat them as swedes in Australia.

    We have to as they provide some protection against irukandji jellyfish attack.*

    The jellyfish bit isn't true. We wear pantyhose for that.

    Our swedes are yellowish in the greengrocers. Our turnips are white.

    Now, do you all enjoy parsnips?

  10. CW: Excessive food

    It has become a tradition in our house to make something resembling a pizza with leftovers on boxing day.

    Starting with a store-bought flatbread, add sausage meat stuffing, turkey, slice roast potatoes, sprouts, bacon, honey roasted carrot and parsnips then top with cheese (and potato crispy bits if available) and bake until everything comes up to a reasonable temperature.

  11. The weather, work and other stuff has really hampered my #gardening this year and I fret and fret until everything is planted. Got a good chunk done this evening, just some lettuce greens to go into the back bed.

    I just keep it very simple these days -
