I was in the garden this morning arranging my container garden and enjoying the beautiful cloudy sky. Thank you for another beautiful day. I planted my sweet potatos in May in SC, did I plant them too early!!? I'm into my second year gardening after I moved here, so Im glad to know putting blood and bone meal was appropriate.
