In one month, the ground temperature will be warm enough to plant sweet potatoes. So if you would like to grow some slips of your own this is one technique. We simply take several small sweet potatoes and place them in water.
After one or 2 weeks you will have roots growing into the water and buds starting to form on the potato not covered in water. The last few years I have used rain water instead of top water to start them in.
In a few weeks we will post the progress! Do you have any techniques for starting your plants that may save a few bucks and ultimately allow you to control the process from beginning to end?
