I think the foliage and flowers are pretty. I’m finding them to be pretty low maintenance for the amount of food they produce so I see myself growing them again in thr future

Tbh I’ve necer prepared small sweet potatoes before so I am going to learn what they taste like this year. Chips sound like a fun experiment.

I hope it came out perfectly. No shame in using store bought. Can’t grow everything every year.

I always do sweet potato in a fabric pot! So much easier to find them at the end of the season and you could amend the soil in the pot.

I’m not sure what kind they are. I picked up sweet potatoes in the spring perported to be from a nearby farn. I figured if they were grown near my town, they should do well enough for me.

Sorry you’re struggling with clay. I’ve been growing mine in raised beds. I think I put in two parts compost, two parts peat moss, one part pearlite. I have one bed that was about a foot deep and it did ok. But the plants really seemed to love the two foot deep area. Second year growing sweet potatoes and first year giving them more depth.

What kind of amendments have you been adding? Are you noticing any progress towards better sweet potatoes?

Have you ever thought about a cover crop for the clay?

Sounds delicious and cozy for fall!
