Sources for an organic garden

The ladies I garden with want all their seeds to be organic, and all their starter plants to be organic. From time to time we pay a bit for those things. Most of you know I am truly a bargain seeker. I often will buy things at my favorite grocers that are a little less than perfect, especially produce. This actually leads to me purchasing some organic vegetables. For instance, in my picture is an organic white sweet potato. It looks funny. I have put it in a vase to sprout. When I was very young our teachers would use a regular sweet potato, and grow it in a jar. Our classrooms were festooned with greenery from those vines. Sadly now many time the sweet potatoes we buy in the store have been chemically treated so they will not sprout. Ta da!!! Organic sweet potatoes have not been treated. This funny little potato showed me it was going to sprout. It has been three weeks now and I will include more pictures with my comments to responses. When you want sweet potatoes in your garden, you or the grower, takes "slips" from a sprouted sweet potato. Those slips grow roots and then they grow the sweet potato tuber. I plan to grow organic white sweet potatoes next year.
