How To Grow Sweet Potato Slips

        We are approaching the dead of winter, here in Kentucky, and we are getting excited about the garden. We have not done much in the past few years because we were driving back and forth to Windsor for Maid-N-Meadows. But this year we will be home and gardening is back on the "joy" list!
       Sweet potatoes are grand foods because they store over the winter, don't need to be frozen or canned, and they can just go in the oven and come out ready to eat! Homestead convenience food! But my favorite thing about them is that if your stored taters start going bad, just cook them a little and feed them to almost any farm animal. Chickens are crazy about cooked sweet potatoes. So if your family does not eat them, all the hard work in digging them up is not wasted as they can feed your critters and save on the feed bill!
