Did you know sweet potatoes grow from slips (rooted sprouts), not seeds? It’s an easy process if you start 8–12 weeks before planting outside. Here’s a quick rundown: • Set a sweet potato in soil and give it light and moisture. • Wait for slips (sprouts) to form. • Root those slips in water or plant them directly into warm soil this spring. • If you’re in a warm climate (like the low desert), start that slip-making now for a March–June planting window.

Sweet potatoes aren’t grown from seed – they are grown from slips. A slip is a rooted sprout from a mature sweet potato. ⁣ ⁣ The water method for producing slips usually takes at least 2 months, but the soil method works in as little as 1 month.⁣ ⁣ The best time to plant is when your soil is warm, usually a couple of weeks after your last frost date.⁣ ⁣ Are you growing sweet potatoes this year? ⁣ #sweetpotatoslips #Sweetpotatoes #howtogrowyourownfood #growinginthegarden #gardeningtips #vegetable
