Some evidence of practicability would be useful. Given the notorious
difficulty of getting a decent crop even in places that are much
hotter than we are, I suggest taking that article with a pinch of
salt.

I agree with Nicks original posting, while they will certainly 'grow'
in the UK, getting a realistic crop may be a harder job.. If you have
the space and time, be our guest;-)

At least until someone comes up a Hardy Sweet Potato.. Won't be long
now......;-))))
