Japanese Sweet Potato

White Beni Imo (2020.07). I have eight Japanese Sweet Potato containers and this bucket. I like the leaves of the White Beni Imo, so planted them in a bucket and built a stand for my garden. The vines grow quickly, so I just trim them once in a while. I planted these vines last July and wonder how big the tubers are. I check the soil once in a while to see if I can see any tubers popping out, but so far nothing; however, I suspect I will have to harvest them soon and start the vines again.
