Is it worthwhile trying to grow sweet potatoes here in NW England in a raised bed with cloche :?:

Jim, go up to the top of the page where it says Search, click in, type Sweet Potatoes in the box and some very good previous threads should come up for you. I'm sure you'll find all your answers there.  :D

 :D Many thanks. I found quite a lot and I think I'll give it a go.
Can I just but some sweet taties from Tesco and chit them or do I have to get special seed potatoes?

I get store potatoes and get them to slip for me, but I have a warmer summer than most UK'rs. My best source was a local market garden and farmers who grew a variety better for my area so now I slip those. Might be difficult for you, but ask at garden centres and such. You're bound to find a link somewhere.
