I read in the seed catalog that I can buy one bunch of 12 sweet potato slips for $32.95.  Wow!!!  I can buy a whole lot of sweet potatoes for 32.95 (plus shipping, by the way.)

 

Hmmm, says she who can grow anything…I can do that.  So I cut up a sweet potato (like you do to plant potatoes) and put them in my flat on the heat mat.

 

Then I looked it up on the internet and found out that all you have to do is nestle a whole sweet potato in a few inches of soil, and put the flat on a heat mat and it will sprout.  So, I got it half right.  Anyway, those sprouts are called slips.  No sense throwing away the cut up one, so we will see if both methods work.  

 

I’ll let you know.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
