Sweet Potatoes

Last year, we grew sweet potatoes for the first time. We bought sweet potatoe slips from a company and had them shipped. We planted them mid June and dug them early October. Our harvest was a bushel. We were pleased.We didn't order slips this year due to hubby being down and not having a lot of time in the garden.

Last week, I found a sweet potatoe plant growing in our compost. Yesterday, I cut slips from it and planted them in hopes for a sweet potatoe harvest this year.

This is the slip I cut and planted in between
green bean plants that didn't come up.

Hoping for a bountiful harvest........
