    Yay! Slips are sprouting on my sweet potato. This will be my first attempt ever at growing sweet potatoes.

I grew sweet potatoes last year for the first time and it was successful.  My family loves them.

I have not planted sweet potatoes.... but wanted to try a squash that is supposed to taste like them.... but Baker Creek was out of it when I ordered.  Will look for an organic version in the stores.

@JMTKMS: What squash is that?
JMTKMS replied about 1 year ago
@Beginnings:Baker creek calls it "Upper Ground Sweet Potato".  I am going to try to find an seeds locally, or just wait and order it for next year.  Really do have plenty to plant for this year.

Good luck! I'd like to try growing sweet taters' but haven't decided if I want to give it a go this year.

If I see any in the local store, I will probably pick up a few to try... Maybe I could plant them in a "potato box".  Should work, right?  Never grew them before , but I imagine they are like regular potatoes.
