I planted these slips in mid-December and decided to harvest them on 26 May, which makes them roughly 5 1/2 months old.
As I started to dig them out I noticed a lot of Potatoes bunched together, which indicates there were going to be a lot of Potatoes.
I wanted to point out how lose the soil is. I filled half this container with mulch a year before and it completely broke down.
My scale can only measure up to 2 kg so separated the Potatoes in two. This weighed 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs).
1.1 kg (2.5 lbs)
Sweet Potatoes need to cure for 10-12 days, so I set them out in a cool dry place. Also, ensure the Potatoes do not touch each other.
I rejuvenated the soil and planted 10-12 slips. These Potatoes should be ready to be harvested in December.
Hey there! just reaching out to let you know the sweet potato cuttings you gave me have already sent out roots! that happened way quicker than i was expecting!
