Best Chip dip ever
by Matt Fox
These are the best! Grew them in pots outside moved them inside the garage for winter and they start coming back in early march after watering once a month inside. Were going to split them add pots and put some in the ground.
They are awesome chip dip when mixed with sour cream!
