Sweet Potatoes on the Bayou

Still trying to figure out how to do raised beds with voracious johnson and bermuda grass on all sides.  I picked up the vines and put them in the raised bed, dug out all the grass and roots I could, and planted a buffer of Iron and Clay Peas.  Might add some buckwheat on the edges too.  Its never looked this good.  We'll see what it looks like in a month...

Gecko hunting?

It was doing this amazing dance with its cheeks.  Face cheeks that is.  Hard to explain.
