I planted a row of Covington and a row of Centennial sweet potato slips three weeks ago. Never grew these before. So far the Covington are 3 times the size and much greener than the Centennial. I also lost a few Centennials as I planted during that record breaking heat here in Savannah. But didn't loose a single Covington. So far they are much more vigorous. Thanks for recommending them.

I used Calif Blue Flax as a filler in a small home garden last Winter. Our Spring has been mild; so I harvest some seeds and it sets more. I like the thought of adding buckwheat to the mix now that we're getting hot. It's also a place I let my hens forage every few weeks, and it sounds like the buckwheat will please them as well.
