EASY year-round crop #2

EASY year-round crop #2






Sweet Potatoes.

If you don't like them, you really need to find a way to like them. Excellent roasted or even microwaved. I drench in jalapeno vinegar. John loves with just butter. They grow like weeds. Photos above are from a recent harvest from a 7-gallon pot. My foot included for scale.

Pros:
Grows year round
Never have to buy again
Grow in pots and in ground
Requires very little care
Easy to propagate from vine or slip

Cons:
Can be invasive if grown in the ground
Whitefly and Armyworms
Requires lots of water
