Chickens are quite the fun animal to have around - as long as you don't mind them scratching/digging up plants. It's also fun to watch my six month old kittens try to stalk the chickens. Silly kittens.

My husband and I tried sweet potatoes again this year. In the past, we were slow planting them and it froze before they were big enough to harvest. This year, he planted some in his veggie garden but the deer would keep eating the leaves. He did not harvest any SP. However, we also put a couple starts in my fenced garden (I posted a pic of that right after this brag board was started). The vines went crazy and were beautiful for folliage. After our first frost, I went out and started digging, and - oh my! - what big sweet potatoes I found! I was so excited, I was laughing the whole time and my 10 year old daughter thought I was nuts.
