They're very       good when baked but our recent crops have been too small for baking.               i've never heard of them before, but i wonder if the       method of making sure the energy for the vines is only       going into the central clump would help...               our soil here is way too wrong for sweet potatoes in       most gardens so we've not tried to grow them here since       i've been around.                      songbird              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
