Comments (4)I was just searching this subject on the internet, how funny, I should always check here first. Dave is right from what the internet produced. I was surprised at how old and wide ranging the cultivation is and has been. several thousand years and all over the world! Amazing and stupid easy to grow like potatoes. Don't overwater, loose well draining soil and keep em covered with dirt! I dont have a container large enough for them this year so I am doing little red and purple potatoes! In my area I will start them outside and then move indoors when it gets too hot!...See MoreSweet potato and potatos when are they ready?
Comments (1)I don't know too much about sweet potatoes. Regular potatoes should be dug when the tops are dead. The will keep in the ground--in other words not freeze but you run the risk of too much moisture rotting the potatoes or some nasties nibbling on them. It is best to dig them and dry them. We do this in the shade on our lawn. Then my husband spreads plastic on the floor of our furnace room and leaves them for a couple of days so they are good and dry. Then he puts them in bushel baskets with a newspaper on top. They are stored on platforms in the cold cellar for the winter. If you don't have a cold cellar put them in a cool dry place raised off of the concrete. We use our own potatoes until they get too soft in early spring....See MorePotatoes of sweet potato vine
Comments (3)Found on net: Botanically known as Ipomoea batatas, the sweet potato is a member of the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae and is closely related to the morning glory vine (I. purpurea) and the leafy vegetable, kangkong (I. aquatica). It is not related to the true potato, which is a member of the tomato family, Solanaceae. There are ornamental sweet potato varieties grown exclusively for their decorative foliage. These ornamental varieties may also produce edible underground tubers but they are usually less prolific and tubers are usually smaller and not as palatable as those that have been bred and grown exclusively for their tuber. I would wonder about any possible pesticide used by the greenhouse growers. They can be used to start new plants, they root easily. Never tasted them...Rina...See Moresweet potatoes, from the sweet potato vine
Comments (4)I dug up ONE tuber a couple of weekends ago. I know there must be more, but I couldn't reach way down inside that planter box - it's about 4' deep. It was about 6" long and about 6" in circumference. Not too big, really. But I put it in my cabinet where I store my potatoes. Looks like a regular old sweet potatoe to me. Moni - yours is HUMONGOUS!
