I somewhat recall someone taking notes on this, writing down what we had that was likely still viable. We also still have that one gift card from the community garden club to Home Depot worth something like $40. We could buy seeds and soil from there, or buy seeds from OSC and get refunded since it is likely a more accessible location to get to. Either way I have the distinct impression that we may need to buy new seeds, based on our collection last year. My favourites are based on what is easy to grow, gives a good yeild and is usually expensive at the market: heirloom cherry and/or plum tomatoes basil rainbow swiss chard spinanch , arugula, mustard greens and other salad mix sugar snap peas (can be sewn directly) ground cherries (though they will likely self-seed the same plots that they grew in last year) I can do a flat of different varieties of tomatoes at my place. I have a grow light and a shelf, so I may be able to take a few more flats. However, my car died utterly and completely just yesterday, so I won't be able to transport them. I will investigate the possibility of borrowing a car for the purpose.

The tubers are started in water/wet sand around now. In 2 or 3 months they produce quite long shoots. About a week or two before planting time (early June - they need warm soil) the shoots are cut into slips with 3 or 4 nodes on each, and the are slips put in water to root. Then each slip is planted in a long "hill", about 1 ft part. The soil shouldn't be too rich or they will go all to vine. Georgia Jets seem to be the faseast growing and most prolific for our climate. I ordered 12 slips from Maple Farm in NB but they are pricy $20 plus $10 shipping. iso On 2/29/2012 1:02 PM, Brianne McCallum wrote: > OSC has actually moved up albert close to down the road again. > I would like to try sweet potatoes.
