So how did folks do with the sweet potatoe shoots I delivered? tom, Jaye, WPcowgirl, Jan (WWW), eggsagerate (Linda)?

I didnt know what to expect..but i planted the ten i had..seven survived and grew well...they were a surprisingly white colour when i dug up the hills...real interesting shapes...got about 6 quarts of various sized tubers..I'm not sure exactly what i was expecting but boy oh boy are they tasty...thanks Bert for bringing them to me and thank you very much Kathy for the gift...much appreciated...I'll definitely do this again... :running-chicken:

I got shoots from Kathy and like yours Tom, mine were white. Not what I was expecting either. Only had enough for a meal but they were tasty. Mine struggled along and out of the 5 or 6 shoots I had only 4 grew. I think the dry hot conditions we had hindered them even though I hand watered, they really took off when we got all that rain in the early Fall but it was too late unfortunately.

They arewhite cultiver sweet potatoes...not orange....so getting white tubours is good lol

I didn't get any. I didn't plant a thing this year!

I got them in very late--late June. My bad :/ They never really took off, and I got maybe a gallon container of small tubers. Which are long gone LOL, they were very tasty!

I didn't get mine planted as early as i would have liked, because of other stuff taking priority. In spite of the shorter time they had to grow, and the drought, I did get 5 rather large tubers, the same number again of smaller tubers, and adozen or so teeny ones. I still have a couple of the big ones left. They have great flavour and we've really enjoyed them. I cooked up the teeny ones too. They were added several times to our dog's dinner. And he was most appreciative.

So technically you had 100% success from what you planted!

WPG: that's right, I dropped off EO eggs to you. How well did you do with those?

Going to have to try to get some next year - hint, hint Jan, Tom, Bert!

Kathy... I need a quick lesson in what to do to start slips of my own... Can I do it from some of these smaller tubers? And how?
