Uncovering the Sweet Potatoes

I read somewhere that if you grow sweet potatoes under black plastic you need to remove it in early August or the gophers will eat all of them.  I don't think we have gophers, but I decided to uncover them just in case.  They are doing quite nicely.  In fact, they're starting to encroach on the second planting of squash.




The first planting of bush beans is finished, so David pulled them out.  I'm not sure what I'll put in that bed.  Maybe lettuce.

I pulled all the first planting beets and canned them.  I got 5 lbs, not counting three big lunkers that I decided not to can.  I'll make borscht.
