Has anybody received their sweet potatoes from Steele yet? or shipment notification that they're en route?

i'm in stockbridge and received mine on the 18th.

I think ours were sterile.

Yeah. From what i've heard a lot of root vegies get treated with a sprouting inhibitor. I've never verified this but it wouldnt be suprising

I have no idea. These were made by my wife’s late brother.

Hope you are actually storing those on their side so the corks don't dry out. Would be a shame to let them go to waste.

Got my tomatoes (1 regular and a few cherry) and peppers (jalapeno and pepperoncini) sprouting right now. Should be ready for going outside into the planters on my deck next weekend.

We have blueberries coming out of our ears already. These bushes are 4 years old, about 6 feet tall, in a patch with 6 others, various varieties. There's also raspberries and blackberries in this patch:

Dang those look pretty mature already! I’ve got a ton too, but they smaller than those. My ‘maters are killing it- here’s my prettiest Roma. Also have black cherry (my favorite) and Cherokee Purples

Yeah, blueberries do really well around here. I forget the varieties we have in that patch, but this year we'll be over the top...
