There's a plant by the moon thing with all crops, if you look hard enough.
Consult a Wiccan. :-)

Isn't there a plant-by-the-moon thing with sweet taters?

I can beat the 90 min. thing. We was looking for a handle for a roofing

had them but none could find them. They could find the brushes and the
roofing but no handles. Call me what you want but our local HD is a
joke. Even Wal-Mart has better service.


From Mel & Donnie in Bluebird Valley


Sweet potatoes aren't grown from seeds, they're grown from "slips" and
those are transplanted. Vine cuttings work too as that's basically what
slips are. Doubt that sweet potatoes are a normal crop for Toronto,
they're normally grown much farther south.

I grew them very successfully in Rochester NY, right across the lake from
Toronto. He'll have no problem with them, unless deer attack the leaves,
in which case the potatoes will be more like fat carrots than the sweet
potatoes we see in grocery stores.
