Fish bone meal is a favorite for potassium. I think hilling helps keep moisture even too and helps prevent rot from water settling.

I used Calif Blue Flax as a filler in a small home garden last Winter. Our Spring has been mild; so I harvest some seeds and it sets more. I like the thought of adding buckwheat to the mix now that we're getting hot. It's also a place I let my hens forage every few weeks, and it sounds like the buckwheat will please them as well.

I planted a row of Covington and a row of Centennial sweet potato slips three weeks ago. Never grew these before. So far the Covington are 3 times the size and much greener than the Centennial. I also lost a few Centennials as I planted during that record breaking heat here in Savannah. But didn't loose a single Covington. So far they are much more vigorous. Thanks for recommending them.

Green beans do better in early spring before it gets too hot. Truckers Favorite does great in the heat, but it is a field corn. But we'll plant fall corn late August so not too far away.

Y'all this is probably a long shot but I'm going to ask since I can't get any information on a old variety that we grew back home in coffee and Covington county in Alabama and to describe it as a medium to smallish potato with a thicker skin and would often times ooze sticky sugar like sap. Seems like nothing compares to the sweet potatoes my grandmother had grown. Is there any one variety that may come to mind?
