HomeGrown 06/15/08 - Sweet Potatoes & Preston Rose Garden

HomeGrown is as sweet and fragrant as it’s ever been this week with a look at sweet potatoes and sensuous roses. The sweet

potato tips come from the folks at the family-owned Steele Plant Company in Gleason, “Tater Town” Tennessee, who have been growing and selling sweet potatoes for over 50 years. Later, Bob and Jeneen head to eastern Jefferson County to visit the rose garden of Jim Preston, president of the Louisville Rose Society, and his wife Barbara.
