Very good little farmer, Grandpa Amstutz (farm) would be proud also.
Have some fun, buy a sweet potato, cut the bottom of it off, set it in a jar or container, keep it in water and she will be surprised what a vine she can grow quickly, who knows she might plant the vines when big enought and get a crop of sweet potatoes......
Thanks
