hi all

i was given a potted sweet potato ages ago.

planyed in a nice container and made sure if yould drain well.
its in the polly tunnel but i have a problem!

the top hasnt realy grown since i planted it and has not trailed like i was told it would.


should i just empty the pot and give it up as a bad job?

thanks

Green house job, methinks, if it's still alive, but does not cost to try.

its been in there for months now (tunnel), thats why im thinking is it a scrap job

It might well be, if you had this cold wet summer like we did. Look for healthy, firm tubers, even if small, they might shoot.

sweet potatos are grown from slips from a shooting tuber  not a planted tuber

didnt know if you knew that? it was new to me when  i found out

hi wg, hope you are well?

ive seen that and its one of the reasons why i thought mine are no good!

its been planted a minimum of 118 days, going on the guide in that post 110 sould see them fully grown

the tops on mine havent grown much but they look healthy :shock:
