Hey...we did all that when we were kids, too, living on the farm . Daddy or my older brother, plowed under one side of the row of sweet potatoes...turning all of them up on top of he sod on opposite side. We crawled along...pulling them out of the dirt and they lay in the sun for days...unless bad weather came. Then after the drying process..that old slide pulled them to the straw filled potato hill inder ground. Boy h boy...yes, they were so sweet and juicy, coming out of the told wood stove oven. But mine were pretty good yesterday. Stella

hey girl(s) and boys too...... I never heard of curing sweet taters; I thought they just got yanked out of the ground for eatin'. I found a recipe for canning them - ;which I am going to try (yikes!!). I thought maybe I might find a person or two around here that would also be interested in canning...... NO WAY! The few I have asked think I'm nutz...... well, that very well may be but I'll be nutz with canned goods. paulette in sw fla usa...... I can grow sweet taters down here but they are teeny weeny xoxoxoxoxo On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 12:17 PM, Stella Roper <busmar1852@webtv.net> wrote: > Hey...we did all that when we were kids, too, living on the farm . > Daddy or my older brother, plowed under one side of the row of sweet > potatoes...turning all of them up on top of he sod on opposite side.
