You've been had.

The sweet potatoes are the size of a pod of peas; far too tiny to eat!
Did I do something wrong or has this just been a bad year for them?
How did everyone else do?

They're true tropical plants. With CONSIDERABLE care, and growing
them under protection, some people have got a crop. Otherwise,
don't bother.


What Nick said. We grew them once since we were given a couple of slips, but
we're very close to the south coast, and it was a hot summer that year. Even
so, we only got two big ones and half a dozen tiddlers.
