My science experiment

This guy started sprouting in my cupboard, so I decided to see what would happen if I put it in water. It's been in the vase for several weeks, with roots slowly growing. Over the past few days, there has been an explosion of root growth, so I decided it was time to move the experiment outside.

It's now in the garden, next to the garlic. I have no illusions of harvesting sweet potatoes, but I figured since it had that much will to grow, I would give it a good spot to grow in.

The garden July 4th - before sweet potato

Today's birds: sparrow, blue jay, cardinal, grackle, mourning dove, white breasted nuthatch, chickadee, robin, downy woodpecker.
