Could be a number of things that lead to no sprouts of thr other stuff - for peppers, it could most likely be sowing too deep (1/8" is what you want). Great news on the squash bugs - seems to be more a midwest > southeast problem. One thing to be cognizant of when it comes to sweet potato, is not too much nitrogen. Too much will make for big bushy tops but not much else below the surface.
Should've popped this in earlier - butternut squash is excellent for making a bisque or simply roasted with parsnips, carrot, onion , and turnip to have with a right piece of fish.
Sweet potato: peel, cube and boil until fork-tender. Drain, add butter, roasted garlic, rosemary and sage maybe a little sour cream. Salt. Mash. Serve with chicken, turkey, pork
I'm excited for the sweet potato and I hope the miracle grow soil isn't too much. I didn't read the instructions, I don't know if I should have blended that with soil, but I used it straight.
Sweet potato foliage will work down the nitrogen, I imagine. I'll keep at that if no tubors.
