Sweet Potatoes!

Sorry for the delay this morning - I was out planting sweet potatoes.

These are all thanks to Sow True Seed.  Three varieties:  White Bonita, Beureguard, and Covington




They come in slips (I did not know that before I looked into it a bit):



Planted, about 3 inches deep and 12 inches apart:


I have never grown these before, so anything is a win!

    Good luck!

    I expect they would grow here, because it's a big crop in Louisiana, but I've never tried, as I don't have the right ground.

    God bless! 🐰

    My Sow True Seed sweet potato slips did fantastic last year. I managed to grow my own from the last couple of sweets in storage; I just need good planting weather! Looking forward to seeing how yours do.

    Thanks Linda! I am always excited to try new things, especially because the climate here is so different from back home.

    Thanks Leigh. I am very hopeful myself. They looked a little scrawny coming out but per the instructions (they were very informative) they should perk up in a bit.
