Last year I grew Georgia Jet, here in Ohio. I WISH I would have had the extra budget room to have tripled the slips I bought. Yours make me all sweet potato envy. : ( My source was NOT a very good one. I had maybe half the slips survive. Would you mind sharing the name of yours? I still have time... if I can talk my Captain into it again. ; )
I would if I knew. My boyfriends parents gave us the slips. I'll ask them but I have a feeling they just got them from store sweet potatoes (they always seem to have luck that way).
How many sweet potatoes do you get per plant? They sure look good, I wonder if they grow well in Washington Stat.... I would really love to grow some, and will have to look for them.
We had 3 plants and the first picture is the big pile of the harvest. We also had a smaller pile. The vines took up a lot of space though, I wonder if you can trellis them?
I guess if it is a vine, a trellis could work. They are like potatoes, alot of plants are needed to get a big crop. But, sweet potatoes i'd take in any quantity! Baker Creek has a squash called "Above ground sweet potato", it was sold out before I could get some. I am hoping that it is as good as it sounds and it may be a better option. Can't replace the real thing, but it could be fun.
