Good to know for when I need to source a grocery store potato and start my slips. I only want to try a few.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967411275533052324.post-3616101446384505952012-03-22T17:43:30.837-07:002012-03-22T17:43:30.837-07:00It matters.....pointy end go in the water. :)It matters.....pointy end go in the water. :)Jeff and Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955529431252406743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967411275533052324.post-43634405285248251532012-03-22T17:40:08.878-07:002012-03-22T17:40:08.878-07:00OK, which end of the sweet potato goes in the wate...OK, which end of the sweet potato goes in the water? Or does it matter? I grew gorgeous plants one year, but didn't snap off and plant the slips. I'd have room to try them this year I think.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967411275533052324.post-39464138539150439952012-03-22T11:43:13.147-07:002012-03-22T11:43:13.147-07:00I've got some sweet potatoes for the very firs...I've got some sweet potatoes for the very first time on my windowsill. They are more of a challenge in the North, but since I can't grow tomatoes and peppers this year, I needed something to fill in the spot and give me some good harvests. And I love sweet potatoes. So of course I'm overdoing it. I'm planting the whole circle garden (60+sqft) with them. I figure I'll have to get at least a few that way. And the circle garden is bricked with the brick path going around. It ought to help make it hotter.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967411275533052324.post-12755636304632022692012-03-22T09:29:36.701-07:002012-03-22T09:29:36.701-07:00I really need to try growing sweet potatoes this y...I really need to try growing sweet potatoes this year.
