Title: Sweet Potato Plugs
Post by: Sparkyweb on April 29, 2023, 22:01

Hi all,
I’ve just had a delivery of sweet potato plugs. They’re quite small right now, do I need to grow them bigger or do anything else before I plant them outside?

You need to grow them on indoors and preferably plant them out into a greenhouse/poly tunnel when the danger of frost has passed. Not heard of any success growing them outdoors in the U.K. as they apparently need 4 months of hot weather which is unlikely in U.K. Useful thread on it here
