Spring Garden Acre is a blog about our family's gardening adventures. We call our place Spring Garden Acre, because we live on Spring Road with about an acre. We're located in zone 6b of south central PA. We grow peaches, berries, vegetables and keep a few chickens for eggs and meat.

Harvest Monday
On Saturday I spent a couple hours in the garden winterizing. I broke down the watering system, garden-forked the soil, dug up a wandering 3 and a half pound sweet potato, broadcast cover crops (buckwheat and oats), and planted several rows of garlic. No kidding it was 3 and half pounds! I had no idea sweet potatoes could get this big. And that's not the strange thing. The strange this is that I missed it the first time I dug them up.

That looks more like you are holding a heart than a sweet potato. It is huge.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed it the first time around!
DeleteThat is a one huge sweet potato! You can make a whole meal out of it to feed couple of people.
ReplyDeleteI think there's enough potato there for at least two meals!
DeleteSeriously! That looks like an internal organ of some kind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. It was a odd potato that's for sure.
DeleteOMGoodness! I've never seen such a huge sweet potato! It does look like an internal organ, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one this big either. We could have entered it in the fair.
DeleteI could feed my family of 5 with that gorgeous potato, haha
ReplyDeleteNo doubt!
DeleteSounds you have been busy! That sweet potato is enormous.
ReplyDeleteWe've been busy. Belle finished her last batch of canning on Monday. All we have left now is the brassicas.
DeleteBig sweet potato for sure! It's good that you found it before it got frozen.
ReplyDeleteI'm still bewildered by having missed it the first time around. How in the world did I miss such a huge sweet potato?
DeleteWow! That sweet potato is intense! That could almost feed a whole a family all by itself!
ReplyDeleteIt could feed us. I honestly think there's enough potato there to feed us two meals.
