PURPLE SWEET POTATO?

in #food6 years ago

Yup, and we are getting ready to plant soon enough!


A while ago, a friend from YouTube blessed us with some purple sweet potatoes. Total, we had two big ones and two little ones. This big one is doing the best, and we are excited to get them growing in our garden.

Just by placing the sweet potato in a jar half full of water, they can start to root and grow vines. The vines are called "slips" and can be planted into the soil, creating an entire new plant. We are so excited to give growing the purple sweet potatoes a try this year.

Just check out all of the roots on growing out of it. Stuff like this blows my mind, and I'm glad to see it first hand. Here's some more photos of this one so far. Check it out!

They did grow in large quantities! Thank you!

Purple sweet potatoes are on my list for this year. Any plains on selling any slips?

Did you get any grown? If not, I could send you some slips whenever you want. Just harvested ours... sorry I missed this.

Yes, I planted two plants. They did fine. Thanks for asking.

Looks like NZ Kumara, if so, grow lots, it tastes good, however you cook it

Interesting, never heard of that, but I'll look into it!

That's a crazy amount of roots! May they bring forth a crazy amount of sweet potatoes!
