I ordered 5 each of Beauregard Improved and T65 from T & M - and Beauregard arrived today. All five of the slips look dead - they are hanging over the glass of water I put them in as soon as they arrived. I've never grown them before, so I dont know if this is normal? Should I persevere and wait til they "perk" up a bit.

hi Meg
mine were dreadfull, i have complained and been credited
lbb
shout at them, there are too many of these slips sent out and half dead :(
Thanks for this guys - I dont have any experience of these, so I was a bit worried about shouting, but have just taken a picture of these poor wee things hanging out of a glass of water, and sent to M&T - will keep you updated ....
Meg
Good luck, I ordered 30 and managed to save 15. Have complained three weeks ago, heard nothing complained again today. Could spare a couple of Beauregard.
:)
Saddad - thanks so much for your kind offer - can I come back to you after I have a word with the supplier on Monday? I am angry enough to spit feathers - so they'd better listen or else >:(
Meg
As you didn't get back to me I have sold them... :-X
Did finally get a refund from T+M today... :)
I've got one potato slip that I grew. How should I plant it.

Sorry Saddad, I got a refund from T & M on Monday and a replacement 5 slips which arrived yesterday. Put them into water immediately and four out of the five have perked up - but thanks for waiting for me - never grown sweet potatoes before - have balanced (with supports) growbags on their sides and put a slit along the top - thought to put three slips in one growbag and two in the other. Will that be enough room for the plants? This is obviously in my greenhouse.

I grow mine in the greenhouse border Meg :-\
