| The sweet potato field |

| The new growth leaves of one variety are purple |

| Do you know what these are? Peanut flowers. Once they flower, they will push into the ground and start forming into a peanut. |

| The white bag on the pepper plant is one of our first efforts to isolate pepper flowers to save seed in our production field. Normally, to save seed, we grow one variety in a distant field to isolate it. With bags, we're hoping we can isolate many varieties in the same place. The goal is to exclude insects that might pollinate the pepper flowers. Once we see a pepper has formed, we take the bag off and mark the pepper then let it completely mature. |
