Title: Sweet potato
Post by: caroline7758 on June 06, 2009, 09:54:38
After at least 6 months (!) sitting in water,my sweet potato has finally produced shoots and they have grown like mad in the last week. Have I got any chance potting them up at this time of year?

 I have one sweet potato plant that is growing away really well potted up in the greenhouse (the other slips didn't root). Is it worth plant 1 plant in a coldframe? What sort of crop would you get off 1 plant?
