These are Sweet Potato Pumpkins, an old mountain variety of Cherokee origin. My grandparents grew these. Makes excellent pies and bread. I've been selling these on the food hub. If you've ever heard of this variety, let me know. I've found references to it in oral histories and would love to learn of other people's familiarity with it.

Last week & this week have been perfect hay weather. If the weather cooperates, I can usually put up enough to feed my horse and donkey without buying any. Except for the mowing, it's all done by hand, no bales. Just throw it in the truck loose and haul it to the barn.

Potato growth is beginning to close up the rows. They are starting to bloom, which doesn't affect the crop, but people say that the blooms are a sign that the potatoes are setting underground. They could really use some rain at this point in their growth.

We got 6.02 inches of rain over 6 days. The potatoes are growing fast. Compare this photo to the one below just 7 days ago. This is a small patch that is separate from the larger, main patch.

Cover crop rye sown on last year’s potato patch to prevent erosion and add organic matter to the soil. It always amazes me that something I sowed last October survived a harsh winter and deer eating it to the dirt, then it grows vigorously come spring and matures this time of the year. Rye is an underappreciated crop. It is perfectly suited for our climate and thrives on neglect. It is never eaten by insects or troubled with disease. Rye was once a major crop in Watauga County in the 1800s.

Had to show this drought map. The dark red splotch, which covers eastern Watauga County, is in an exceptional drought, which is the highest ranking. Hopefully the rain this weekend will put us in better shape.

After having been frostbit, the potatoes are looking better. Even growing a little despite having no rain.
