Which sweet potato supplier is that?  I am looking for next season.
 
I am surprised at  Johnny's high price for Jerusalem artichokes sets.  They really are as prolific as reputed.  I have way more than I need, but no time to get them dug and sent to you for at least a month.  If you're still looking then, let me know.  Organically grown.  And they can be planted any time...plus all the tubers that you miss will certainly come up next season.  (I was smugly absolutely positive that I hadn't missed even one last season, then was chagrinned to see them coming up in the garlic patch; actually a nice combination since the tubers are delicious roasted/mashed with garlic.)  You might check locally with any historic/native gardens in your area.  I plant  an 1850's educational garden and got my starts from another historic garden in the next county.
Shawnee, zone 5, no frost yet but perhaps tonight.
