Title: Sweet Potato Slips - Just my luck
Post by: cambourne7 on August 16, 2015, 15:27:43
HI All

Having tried a few times to get sweet potatoes to sprout i have accidentally got an entire bag of them sprouting so the question is now what?

Is it 2 late to start them as slips?

As i said i have about 6/7 plants some of the slips have leaves and visible roots !

(only bought 10 days ago)

Second problem is that i am going away so what do i do? Though about wrapping them in newspaper and leaving in the garage for a few weeks - Ideas?

Cam

They'll start willingly enough, but the low temps and low light levels of our winter means they won't come to anything...  :BangHead:
