Sorry, but I thought you knew the whole story about the expensive potatoes…….on another note if we are to eat local we are to plant our own food since blue food / soul food/ground provisions etc as they are called is expensive… the person with a breafruit tree would be doing fantastic these days…..

It was a while back when I felt like making soup with sweet potatoes. So I stopped at our vegetable place and I asked for a pound of sweet potatoes. With bag on the counter I asked, “how much?” $TT10.00 I was told , so I paid and came home and made my soup. But while pealing the very small potaoes I noticed oe ws growing , so I cut the planlet out and stuck it in my chives pot. From there we got the slips to plant on a bed….. that was Nov 2007 ….we have planted much more and still have at the old place and would probably reap again… so it took about 6 months to reap after planting….so anyone can try ….
