My Failed Attempt at Planting Sweet Potatoes in Bags

Sweet potatoes are a root crop and one of the easiest crops to grow. A few years ago, my family planted it in our backyard with great success. The harvest was massive. When we moved houses, I thought I could replicate the success even though I only had bags to do so. So, I got a few sack bags, got soil from around my apartment and got to planting my potato slips. A few weeks later I had these; And after three months, I thought it was time to harvest but was I in for a shocker? Ready for harvest? Apparently, not. Because I was only able to get two tiny tubers😭😭. So, no more growing potatoes in bags for me. I'll stick to planting them in the ground or large garden beds.  Have you ever had a gardening fail?

My New-Found Love

The past few years, I've found myself developing a love for gardening or just planting things😀. So, when I found myself living in an apartment without any space or land to plant, I made do with soil in sack bags, just so I could still garden. When we first moved into this apartment, I was more committed to gardening and caring for my plants but lately they could do with some more TLC. So, here are a few pictures of what my backyard garden looks like. Turmeric and Miracle leaf plant growing from the same small container. Ginger Plant.

Too Much Privacy?

Hey People! Been a while huh? I hope everyone is doing well? I am fine, thanks for asking 😊. I haven't been here much, lately. This is partly because I'm finding it hard to figure out a balance between sharing and oversharing. Overtime, I've become an even more private person than I was before. Hence, what may not seem like oversharing to others is oversharing to me. I can't talk about how or why I've become this way...cos that would be oversharing 🤭. I kid, I kid😊. Anyways, I'm just here to say, I'm okay. See you soon?✌️
