and my secret to good gardening is.......(wait for it...)..... CHICKEN poop! wait...oh...well...no there's none of that involved in the sprouting...but i did set up another few sprouting tubers to water yesterday LOL
No, not a business. no way!!!! i just know folks were having issues last year getting sprouts to sprout...so why not! my leftovers are sprouting all over in storage already, so just plunk in water and let em do their thing. LOL.

i'm sure i can send some home with bayvistafarm if she manages to visit sometime-or i'll get up there-and folks in that area could pick up from her too....she's near hamilton....

i better go and set up some more..... :rofl1:

well, the sweet potatoes are going CRAZY in my window! i'll have to pot some up, and move them to a different window sill this weekend! yay! i sent some sprouting tubers home with bayvistafarm when she came to visit, so hopefully she'll have some closer to those of you in niagara-so you don't have to travel as far.

Well, hopefully they do something. I stuck toothpicks in them, and they are in water, in a window. Just kinda sitting there. Wait and see I guess!
