Ten sweet potatoes are growing in a protected enclosure to inhibit rabbit deprecations. The slips for two of the plants were produced from a supermarket potato. The other eight were ordered from the internet. The twelve slips were all wimpy and I didn’t think they would survive, but planted all and kept them moist and eight of them took off and grew well. I expect a reasonable harvest since the weather is hot. The enclosure was used for blueberries which I uprooted due to poor production. Sweet potatoes grow well in this area, zone 5, and have become a replacement crop in lieu of tobacco for some farmers.
