Houston Sweet Potato progress 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! |
