I’ve never grown sweet potatoes before, but this year I’m giving it a whirl. I was tempted to buy plants from a reputable seed company, but in the spirit of using what I have, (and working to shift the mindset from needing more to having enough) I’m trying to grow my own from a potato I already have. If all goes well, one sweet potato can produce 6-12 slips, or new plants. I’ll also be trying another method of slicing lengthwise and setting them in soil. Stay tuned for progress! Are you growing anything new this year? Also, in the spirit of community resilience and sharing abundance, join me at the Community Seed Swap at .shop on Saturday, March 15! If there are specific seeds you’re looking for, comment below and I’ll bring them if I have them!
