Hopniss

[mdehners]

I finally got my Hopniss tubers planted today. When I got them it was too cold for me to dig but the last week and a half warmed up unseasonably and I finally had time to get them in.
If you haven't heard of them, Hopniss is a tuber the 1st Nation's peoples, esp east of the Mississippi grew. Supposed to be kind of a sweeter, nutty Russet potato flavor. I used to be big in Food Forest growing bu since I left my lot and a half on the Florida Panhandle I haven't had the space but decided that 2026 sounds like a good yr to start growing food again. I add them to the 3 kinds of Creole Garlic I planted after we had almost a month of no Garlic bulbs at all in any of the markets within a 50 mile range. They're sprouting well.
In Feb I'll start the Oyster plant seeds I've been stratifying as well as some Asian Radishes. We'll see how things go;>
Cheers, Pat

Never heard of Hopniss, but it sounds cool. Going to do some research on it. Good luck and good growing. :)
