Title: sweet potato cuttings
Post by: manicscousers on November 19, 2008, 20:41:48
right, these cuttings are 3 or 4 to a pot, they're all doing well do I put them in to their own pot or will they be ok until spring ?

I'm leaving mine as they are, as the fewer pots to worry about, the easier the care. If they survive through the winter it should be possible to strike new cuttings from these and still be early.

manic,
can you tell me when you started them off please? 
I did some cuttings earlier in the year, and they took and I planted them.  When I dug them up a couple of weeks ago, they were like fingers, really pathetic!
Did I get my timings all wrong, or have you started early for next year? ???

lack of heat was most likely your problem this season
