Good aren't they Emma?
Did you know you can grow them and they make an interesting house plant. Suspend a tuber (like you would a hyacinth bulb) over water in a pot/vase and it will send out spindly climbing shoots (and send down roots). It's very quick, looks OK for a few months and then you have to throw it away and start again!

Yes they are very very good!!! just had the other half

Didn't know you could do that with the tubers, very interesting. Do you reckon by placing a tuber in a veggie plot you will get more??

Don't think so Emma. I've seen 'slips' advertised by nurserymen (sort of young plantlets) but they need more heat than we can usually provide, so buying from the greengrocer/supermarket is the easier option.
We couldn't give sufficient warmth for sufficient time to grow from tubers, apparently.

damn!!!! lol Oh well

I will stick to the squashes

Tohicht will be Shrimp & Cellophane noodle soup (Chinese dish, yummy, also has scallions, tomatoes& other stuff.

I checked on sweet potatoes & they need a long growing season: 100 to 150 days, & very warm climate; so guess you'll have to stick with the squash, Emma! Tonight will be pork potstickers, baby limas & kim-chi. We change to Summer time tonight; will spend after dinner changing every clock in every thing I own...each & every one of them has a different manual & never remember how each one works; have to look it up!!!

Did you know that you can start an avocado plant from the seed? Stick 3 toothpicks in it & suspend over a jar of water; it will sprout & can be planted & you get a small tree that makes a nice houseplant. Won't overwinter, but flourishes outside in the summer & you can keep it indoors during the winter.

Tonight was broiled swordfish steak with herb butter, curried potatoes and fresh peas. Wasn't really hungry; we changed to Summer time last night & my stomach is still on standard time !! Cats are off schedule also; Leia didn't come for her lunch dry food snack until I called her;she normally is twining between my legs announcing that she is a small, starving cat!! ( 14 pounds small??!!

Most everybody seems to be bored with this thread, I don't want it to be what Dandysmom had for dinner so am going to sign off on it...bon appetit, everyone!

No don't do that Dandysmon

I had scampi and roasted butternut squash last night with tartar sauce, it was very nice
