Potato and Tukey Berries in my garden






Wonder how my 2 week old potato plants will do in this heat.  

They are planted on the east side of the house, and thus are in the shade from late morning.  

I did not cut/divide the origional potato, some potatoes have more than one sprout.

Temperatures in the sun have been a good indicator of feels like temperatures.
  
Temperatures in the shade are about 10 C less than in the sun.






These turkey berries are doing quite well, with a daily harvest for curry, stew, soup, and sauces
It has the potential to kill the germs and also acts as a medicine for cold, and also helps in problems related to the chest and stomach. And people who have diarrhea, stomach ache, piles, tuberculosis should use Turkey berry as a part of their food. And taking Turkey Berry regularly will help in strengthening the nerves. - See more at: http://www.anupamablog.com/health/turkey-berry-health-benefits#sthash.gVaHsCKq.dpuf
