✿ Harvest day! Okinawan Purple Sweet Potato

✿ Harvest Day! Molokai Purple Sweet Potato

After watching the beautiful, vigorous vines cover my garden bed through the summer months, finally I decided to test dig some plants to see if they are the good size to get out of ground.  How exciting!  The fun thing about growing sweet potatoes is the you will never know what you get until you start digging! The Molokai sweet potato produces a cluster of tubers close to the soil line, so its fairly easy to get them out. 

......There it is!

The Molokai sweet potato is surely one of the most productive purple variety out there. Within just four months, two plants produced a decent amount of sweet potatoes filled up my wash basket, nice size too. We are gonna cure these guys for at least four to six weeks and soon enough we will be able to enjoy the harvest. Yum!
