A box of sweet potato "slips" from the Organic Gardening catalogue arrived at work this week. I had forgotten I had ordered them last autumn!
I have to grow them in pots for a few weeks before planting them out by mid June (so they've arrived just in time!). They seem to be fairly slug resistant which will be a good thing in my garden!
Sweet potatoes last longer in the larder than potatoes do, and add a lovely flavour to a stew.
Mm. I love sweet potatoes, especially in home-made soups. Perhaps I shall try growing some next year instead of ordinary potatoes.
