Oh my that IS dangerous. Have you gotten any Euphorbs from John at
Canyon Creek Nursery?

I've never worked with a sweet
potato plant before -- do you just break off one of the growing stems and
pop it into water? ..... but the Spousal Unit informs me I must have had a
deprived grade-school experience -- we never grew sweet potatoes! ;-]

Yes, I just went out and cut about 12 inch stems, since that was what
was spilling over into the path. Put them in water. that was on Sat
early,
and I looked at them this am; there are already 1/2 inch roots on
them!
We always had a sweet potato plant in a glass of water on the window
sill.

Speaking of our ACE hardware -- you mentioned in another post having a
problem with gophers.(snipped info on gopher beepers)
Thanks for the info.

Still waiting for those temps in the 80s they keep promising us....
well how about today, rather strange for August, but _very_ pleasant.
85 here and a nice strong breeze.
Are you a member of the garden club up there?
