Mine needs a couple more days, still more mud than dirt.
Of course, it's going to rain tomorrow. :roll:

Plenty of time Big Dave for our area . We haven't planted any thing or got it worked up smooth. You'll have plenty of time.

Great!

Sweet potatos vine kindda like ivy. Mom would start slips by soaking a potato in water overnight,
then quartered them and planted them in pots to let them start slips.
Would get half a dozen or so slips off each quarter.
Then build a ridge like a potato hill, and plant the slips on top.
Space them like you would any potato.
Train the vines to keep them in the row when they start to run.
Dig them when the vines start to die.

Thanks Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that you can now get started with your garden Betty :!:

Bert, NC is either first or second on the nation in the production of sewwt taters. Many tobacco farmers down east plant them commercially, and lots of gardeners across the state raise them for their own use. There is even a purple sweet tater cooperative in Stokes County near me. The coop is trying to keep the purple tater exclusively much like Georgians value the Vidalia onion.
Sweet taters are deer magnets so I don't plant very many. With NC growing so many, it is almost cheaper to buy what we need. Most large growers plant them in a ridge row with a tobacco setter. I use a hand tobacco setter to plant mine when I grow them. Plant about 20 to 24 inches apart like tobacco. Give 'em a little triple 10 and you should be good to go. They like warm weather and sandy to loamy soil.

Glad to hear that you've got yours plowed! That's always the first step towards victory, or healthy deer... possibly both
