#Reposting @eccommunityfarm ・・・ Three-in-one cover crops! Unlike our friends up north, our main growing season is just getting started. Due to the heat and pest pressure in Florida, summer is for cover crops--crops whose main purpose is to cover the soil and protect against erosion. Sweet potatoes are perfect because not only do they cover the soil, but you can eat both the tuberous roots AND the leaves. The leaves and stems make a fantastic substitute for spinach or kale in cooked dishes. 📸: @davehimmelfarb @eckerdlife , @ecos.erc , @eckerdoos #eckerdlife #eckerdfarm #campusfarm #studentfarmers
