Oh what a great idea - opps I actually thought of doing this with my next discussion but wasn't going to post until tomorrow morning - our goats :)
I'm going back now and look at the photos you've added and will comment on a few at least of those - I love gardens and flowers, and nature :)

I know it was strange - I love commenting on photos and popped over to the first one you posted, rated it, then went to comment on it and it said I couldn't until we were friends. Glad we are now by myLots terms also :)

Adding photos as we go along is such a good idea, as I love seeing other people's gardens. Your sweet potato vines are intriguing, as I love to eat the tender young leaves of the sweet potato plants. I think they make wonderful houseplants, too.

I'm the same way - I love looking at other's gardens, I get a lot of ideas that way and encouragement.
A sweet potatoe vine growing in the house was the first plant I ever grew - I was 8 and my Mom helped me start it.

Good job!
I've still got tomatoes coming in all over the place, but everything else is pretty much done.
I did start one more cucumber plant a couple of weeks ago, so I'm hoping it will be early enough to still bear fruit.

Well as you know I have been starting my seeds recently cause I live in FL. I am getting my first raised bed built this coming week but will have to wait on getting the soil and everything to fill it for a few weeks or more cause it is going to cost around $140 to build the bed. We are using cinder blocks to build with cause of durability and it won't attract termites (a problem we had with landscaping timbers) and it will raise them to the height we want. We are going two high.
Heres another pic

That depends on where you live. I live in Florida so we don't really have a winter perse. Our flower beds for example looks pretty much the same all year round except that the irises bloom in the spring and fall and he lillies bloom in summer. the sweet potato vine will die back in the "winter" but our mother in law tongues remain the same all year round. We have kale that remains through the "winter" it is a nice one for some colder climates as well.

Your seedlings are adorable! Hopefully, they're big sturdy vines, soon, and will be giving you lots of tasty fruit. Yum!
