RE: Garden Journal 2018 (June) - Welcome To My Greenhouse! This Will Soon Be Tomato Heaven
Wow, how lucky are you to have that greenhouse for free. By gifting the professional tunnel to you, you continue to make the tunnel useful to grow food in. I bet that makes your friend happy to know dad's tunnel is in good hands :) . I am quite envious of your setup. It looks amazing.
I am Asian and noticed most people who are not Asian don't know they can eat sweet potato leaves. I personally prefer the sweet potato leaves than the sweet potato itself. In Asia, there is a cultivar that will only produce tons of leaves and not tuber.
Love seeing all the different varieties you have on your property. You and your girl friend are doing an amazing job!
lol, I indeed didn't know you could eat the sweet potato leaves. Now you mention it, I think I've read it somewhere before, but it's absolutely not something that is common here, so I forgot again. Ae those only the young leaves, or any leaf? I bet Google will know :0)
Thanks for the kind words.
And you're right, the friend drops by every once in a while, and every time she's amazed by the greenhouse, telling stories about her dad's delicious tomatoes. It's a real win-win :-)
Only the young leaves and don't cut too much at one time. I use it as Summer green. I love it sauteed in a bit of oil and garlic. I am sure you can find all kinds of recipes on Google.
I can’t wait to go out and find more info on it! And try it out, of course.
I’ll let you know how it went :0)
