Those grew much more vigorously than cuttings. They would have done fine that way, but then it was 2011, one of the worst summers in Texas history, and all my sweet potatoes died. Even sweet potatoes couldn't stand 113 degrees!<br /><br />This year I moved so I didn't bother with sweet potatoes. I had enough work already preparing a new garden from scratch. However, next year, 2013, I plan on growing them again, and I will document it here on my blog. I hope Sand Hill Preservation Center has a good sweet potato year next year, because I'd still like to try some of their varieties.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171058491211086596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978083758821452131.post-47919812384184864852012-09-13T19:14:51.042-05:002012-09-13T19:14:51.042-05:00Great post!
