Default Sweet Potatoes

Thanks Bob, and best of luck with your crop. You never know, I might
give those a try next year. As I'm the only one in the household to
like them, just a quick question: how many sp do you get from each
plant?

On today's showing only two or three decent sized ones per plant, the red
skinned white fleshed ones are much bigger than the "normal" orange skinned
yellow fleshed ones but there are lots of small tubers too. None of the
tubers are as big as ones seen in the supermarkets.
Trouble is, the slug damage makes a significant proportion of the crop
unusable.
Slug resistant Sweet Potatoes anyone?
