Sweet Potato Planting

We grow sweet potato from slips.  I pinch off the sprouts from last year's potatoes and put them in little shot glasses full of water in the window sill.  Then, after the roots have grown and the temperature outside is warm enough, we plant them in the garden:

As you can see, I had two garden helpers this morning.

It's warm and softly raining off and on all day today, so it was pretty good weather for planting transplants.  We also replaced some of the tomatoes that we lost in the hard frost last week.  Lydia transplanted a few of the seedlings she originally planted in botany class, way back when we still had co-op.  She put the sunflowers and cucumber in the front, and she has some other seedlings that we are going to let get a bit bigger.  Overall, the gardens are coming along fairly well.  We have been eating lots of fresh radishes.  I planted tons, with the thought of fermenting a few jars, but so far, we've just ate them fresh.
