We maybe got around 30 pounds of them. The drought really didn't help because we normally get around twice that amount. They taste so much better than store bought sweet potatoes. Garden is all cleaned off except for a few grape tomatoes and a few pepper plants. Got my Amish (Brethren) neighbor bringing me a big load of manure here in the next week. Along with some lime and that should make the garden soil come back to life.
