Jeff’s Sweet Potatoes and the Produce Place Nashville

WCTE, public broadcasting in Cookeville produces a show called Live Green Tennessee.  According to their website, their goal is “talking with our local Farmers, Gardeners, and Neighbors about how our agricultural heritage and local wisdom can help all of us lead greener, more prosperous and healthy lives.”

They aired a segment on the Produce Place in Nashville this week.  At about 2 minutes in, I clearly saw Jeff’s sweet potatoes on the shelf.  If you look carefully, you will notice the sweet taters still have dirt on them.  Look more carefully and you will see that the sign says, “the dirt is a reminder they’re grown in the ground!”

Barry has long been a friend to local producers, and has carried all sorts of our produce over the years.  Always glad to help promote good businesses run by conscientious people.  Thanks Barry!

Then we’ll plow them up and get them in the cellar. Summer squash and cucumbers are finally appearing in all their glory, thoroughly…

    by Jeff Poppen I love the people involved in the Master Gardeners Program.  Their curiosity has led them to take courses in horticulture from State University professors, and to help out in community gardening projects. I’ve lectured to master gardeners in many of Middle Tennessee. The extension agent opened up the meeting. They were planning…

  • Keep Growin’ It

    There are many reasons to grow a fall garden and cover crops, poetic as well as practical. “Don’t ever let a weed grow up and go to seed”, “your garden won’t harden with plenty of carbon”, “give back to the land and you’ll have plenty on hand”, “keep the garden growing by cover crop sowing”….
