What great success we've had in growing our sweet potato! It took a while to get going but is now looking very robust. After a little more research, we found out that new sweet potato plants grow from slips that have been rooted before being planted. So I twisted off three of the slips (the stems with leaves) and have put them in water to see if they will root. Have you ever grown a sweet potato?

The sweet potato slips have now been planted! Thanks to my grandson, Isaac, for finding a place for them to grow in his garden. I wonder how big the plants will get? I wonder if we will get any sweet potoatoes in the fall?
