Title: sweet potato advice
Post by: gwynleg on October 18, 2009, 17:29:34
Just dug up my first crop of sweet potatoes!! Do I need to do anything to them to help them keep, or make them sweet like oca? (I have tried to do a search but all I can find is advice on making slips?).
thanks
Gwynleg

Thanks manics and thifasmom. Sounds fairly involved - have you managed to follow these instructions and if so, how?! I have dark and cool places to put veg but not dark, hot and humid!
