Root vegetables.

Our garden this year will face an emphasis on root vegetables. We are stepping into this with little positive experience growing things like potatoes. Our carrots did really well but the potatoes were a total fail. This year we are using traditional planting methods and an arsenal of information. In the morning we will be planting sweet potato slips into grow bags with soil and compost. My hope is that the 24 slips we are planting produces at least 50 pounds of sweet potatoes. To be honest I would be happy with 20 pounds but 50 is the goal. We are also growing several different types of potatoes, carrot, beets, and some parsnips.
