 why I am not surprised?

I observed around our construction site, that by the way is really clean,
and no traffic is allowed near, no spills etc. We had our adobe bricks
piled on the wooden crates, covered with plastic - about 6 of them in a
row. Since we are building "debt free" house, it is taking
time, but the bindweed is prolific under the crates, where there has not
been sunshine or rain in two years.  It also very happy growing
through the drains in the bathroom that is surrounded by the concrete
slab, and has a roof over it. 

Do sweet potatoes grow in New Mexico?
