I cleaned out my gardens really well in the spring, and was majorly disappointed when all the blackberry plants grew right back in the gardens again. It looks like a jungle, but I don't think it will be as hard to clean it out this time since most of the growth is pretty new.
As I was clipping the plants, and pulling out the vines that so valiantly grew in my garden the past couple of months, I pulled up a vine and on the end was a sweet potato. So, I brought it in the house and I cut it up tonight and added it to the pan of potatoes. (Yes, I had both white and sweet potatoes baking together in the oven). There is still more of the vine out there so I will leave it alone for now, and pull it up in a couple of months (if I can wait that long!). One of my new favorite dishes is Sweet Potato Fries. Yummy.
