Boil, steam, bake or fry. But Pre-order early/ plant when soil warms. Supply is limited, and when gone, there will be no more for the season.
Sweet potatoes require a long hot period, so, as soon as the soil warms, plant them.
Easy to grow in any well drained soil.
Starts (or slips) of sweet potato will produce several potatoes in one mound.
Sweet potato plants are very sensitive to cold. They should not be planted outdoors until the soil has warmed up to at least 60 degrees F. and nighttime temperatures are above 60 degrees F. To help heat up the soil, black plastic can be spread over the planting area for a couple weeks before planting.
Newly-planted sweet potato slips should be protected from cool spring nights. For the first three to four weeks after planting, keep the plants covered with garden fabric to reduce stress and speed early growth.
Don't fertilize your sweet potatoes at planting time — they don't require much in the way of nutrients. An excess of nitrogen will encourage leafy growth rather than big tubers. via Gardner's Supply
