How to store sweet potates for spring slips?
Q

Agree with Wayne. Proper curing is the key. The potaoes must have adequte air circulation to remove the moisture given off as they cure or destructive organisms can have a filed day. Storage above 50 degrees, relativley dry. I put mine in Kraft paper bags and store in the pantry. Altho I put my seed bed down in April, the eating potaoes keep through June.

Spring Sowing Sweet William
Q

I sowed Dianthus barbatus last Spring and it is blooming now. Not quite full bloom but starting to look very pretty. All mixed colors of pink, white, crimson, doubles, and bicolor. It makes fairly compact clumps of foliage the first year, then really filled out and shot up this year. I love it and plan to sow it every year. I've already sown some this Spring, although the seedlings aren't doing that great. I don't think it's too late to sow some now at all!

pruning sweet autumn NEXT spring
Q

Good morning, leftycatcher. You are posting on the wrong forum but wow, I am surprised to hear that clematis could die just because of "bad pruning" per se! I have always considered them to be pretty strong and sweet autumn is winter hardy most everywhere. How strange and what a mystery! Have you looked for additional causes or complications to explain this? By the way, the Clematis Forum is in this link: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/clematis/ If someones knows what happened or if you do find a way for pruning to cause a clematis shrub to die as you describe, please post a note here. Puzzled minds want to solve this mystery. I am of course, several zones warmer than you but I sent some clematis to my MIL in NH so I would like to pass along any pruning do/don'ts that could kill the plants. Here is a link that might be useful: Pruning Clematis
