Houston Sweet Potato progress 2007

FlipTX · June 12, 2007

I got my slips from Sand Hill yesterday. So including the slips I started from a storebought sweet potato, I'll be planting:

Japanese - Large, semi-bush, pink-red skin, pale orange flesh
Korean Purple - Vining, purple skin, white flesh, very sweet
Laceleaf - Semi-bush, pink skin, pale orange flesh
Violetta - Vining, bright purple skin, white flesh, "superbly sweet"

Right now all the new slips are in cups of moist peat moss, recuperating from their trip in the shipping box. I'll be planting them in the ground and in pots over the next few days. This is my first time growing sweet potatoes so I'm pretty anxious!
