A One and a Two or a Three?

I missed my one year 'blogaversary!' I know I've got posts on here dating back to 2007, but those were post dated from the actual time I began the first post. A year for many of you may not seem like much, but we as a society hardly ever stick to anything for a week, let alone a full year. How long do most diets last? How many weeks until you flake out on your gym membership or try to walk or bike more to work? I'm telling you, a year's a good deal and I'm thrilled to have met so many of you along the way who have helped me learn how to manage my garden.

Now for the two or three......I'm doing my sweet potatoes in containers this year. The pots I bought are just crazy large, but I don't know if I should do two shoots per pot or three. I've got three in there now, but my goal is to get large, serving sized potatoes and not those thin scraggly ones I got last year when I let the vines run everywhere in the bed. They haven't rooted so fiercely yet, so I can still take one out if I need to. What do you think: two or three? I suppose it matters if they'll grow potatoes close to the surface or stretch themselves towards the bottom of the pot to grow the tubers. The pot comes up right above my knees if that helps with the size.

The morning comes early. Sweet gardening dreams.
