Sweet Potatoes

They would freeze here. Now I used to do that in Seattle with my dahlias and it worked just fine. But they are a zone 8. Wouldn't that be nice? What zone did you say you are Gracye? How about a humidifier? And a space heater? In the bathroom? Now, wouldn't that work? For how many days?? LOL, not sure if you could go in there in that heat and wet. I wonder what that does for them. And then what do you do with them?

Gracye, I was put off by those instructions, too, because by the time the vines are yellowing the temperature is cooling down around here. But we just put ours in the greenhouse for about ten days, leaving the heater set so it would go on if the temperature dropped below fifty at night, and they cured well.

What about humidity? I suppose this time of year it is pretty damp?

Not so much here when it's getting cooler outside.

I am in Zone 7a. I look forward to the Spring, and all that the growing season brings. As for right now, I am off to Harper's Ferry West (by gawd) Virginia, where it probably is snowing!
I love Winter as well. Guess you could say that I get my love for the earth from my (ex-hippies alert!) earth sign, Taurus!
Bless you, one and all!

Gracye, hope you took your camera with you. You need to show us the places you go to. Places we have heard about, but never been to. Too far clear out here. Altho, I have been to Arlington, VA a few times, but always on business when we never have to time to sight see.

Do you get snow Gracye? I don't mind the snow, but just get tired of it after the 4th or 5th month. Sometimes our snowy winters last that long.

Have fun.
