Do you remember my post called How To Root A Sweet Potato For Garden Planting Or? where I gave you some information, but didn’t tell you the ending of the story?
Let me show you what has been happening since February 4th because I have been doing exactly what Goethe said, namely believing in myself.
These lovely green and purple sprouts are happening on the top because…
All these roots are going on at the bottom!
Where do I keep my new friend?
Yeah, Potato Head has become my newest friend, so I’ve named him and we talk often since he sets by Albert, the computer. Not only does Potato Head enjoy the hum of Albert’s motor, but he also enjoys the warmth.
I’m still not going to tell you yet why I’m growing a sweet potato in water.
Just keep Carly Simon’s very popular song running through your head so that you can enjoy the experience.
What song?
You know the song! It’s title is simply…
I’m working hard to put my 2009 green thumb experience behind me.
As a side note, that “green thumb experience” link was one of my very first posts. Why did I make all the pictures that size?
(rolling my eyes at myself)
Thank goodness I’ve learned a bit about blog photos over the last four years!

Anticipation, huh? You’re not going to tell us why you are growing your sweet potato? Well, okay. Two can play that game. I’ll just let you anticipate what my comment is going to be! 🙂
LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF!
I think that is the best comeback you’ve ever written in the comments!!!!
Because she kills flowers, every kind see her and shrink and die!! The potato is her only other option,lol
LOL You are so funny! Potato Head is loving me!!!!!
Actually, the only thing I’m anticipating is what Skip is going to say! 🙂
LOL I’m rather anticipating that myself!
ROFL!!! you two are so funny! 😛
I’m also anticipating the reason behind growing the sweet potato – I’m stumped! …but as one who has always had green thumbs on all four feet, I’m very glad that you’ve gotten over the 2009 green thumb experience! 😀
btw… ‘stumped’ wasn’t intended as a pun, but I won’t refuse to claim it!!! hehehe… 😛
Even as funny and stumped as you are, I’m still not telling! 😛
grrrrrrrrr… *slipping into patient mode* 😀
🙂
Anticipation? Thought it’s…. You’re so vain 😉
LOL
You know, I think I’ve listened to every discussion exploring who the inspiration was for that song. So far she has revealed that the name of the person has an A, E and R. It drives me crazy not knowing WHO!
One of my favorite parts of the song (because it is just so visual) is:
“Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte”
Can’t you just see that whole scene?
I love it!
