sweet potato
Hello,
I bought the pack of sweet potato slips from T&M. The instructions say you harvest any time between the end of September and end of October, so that they are lifted before the frosts. Sadly I haven't had much success. I wondered how everyone else did? Two died pretty soon after planting; the other eight grew, but not to the extent the leaflet suggested they would. The leaflet spoke of trailing foliage and flowers. I didn't see any flowers and the foliage whilst tit has grown, it hasn't gone crazy. It was planted in well draining soil with rotted compost, as advised, so I am at a loss what went wrong. 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? Thanks, Stephen. |
