I think it's possible. I never tried. Someone will come along who has tried I'm sure.

You can grow them in UK, but the slips can be expensive. They need a polytunnel or greenhouse all year round oop north, especially in cold Durham

Very good advice from Peappod there, long growing season and they need protection even here.

Now I called you peap pod, which is kinda funny, so I'm gonna leave it if you don't mind.

Welcome morganmarni.. you can grow sweet potatoes anywhere if you have the right growing conditions, even in the North Pole.
Which part of Durham you from.. i used to live over that way before emigrating to Jarra...lol
