It’s time to don your eyepatch and your best pirate accent to dig for buried treasure in the garden! The sweetpotatoes arrrrrgh ready (or almost ready) to harvest, matey.

Doug has some tips and tricks for harvesting your sweetpotatoes. Don’t miss the special appearances by some of our local elementary school students as they have started harvesting their sweetpotatoes!

We’ve created a YouTube Playlist on the Plants for Human Health Institute channel for all the “STEM To-Go” videos that will be forthcoming from our STEM Education team.
