So... In the last 3 days I have been digging out all my sweet potato, preventing their spoiling from salt water invading my garden (hurricane Florence) I could have waited another 30 days, so they would be a full size, . any way, I have about 3 bushels of small and medium size potatoes.
I feel lucky I was able to rescue so many.
I remember my Mom sending me out in the eye of a Hurricane to harvest Summer Squash.
There were snails all over the place - I believe it had to do with barometric pressure? I'm usually ok with snails but that squicked me.
We were in inland MA btw - she wasn't trying to kill me - just sending out a teen who had been indoors too long.
