How Sweet Potatoes Grow
Raise your hand if you are growing sweet potatoes this year.🙋🏼♀️
Typically I harvest mine in October or November. Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, especially if you have a long, warm growing season.
Remember to let the vines grow for the largest harvest. Occasional small harvests of greens to eat are fine but do not prune back vigorous vines for the best-sized harvests.
The size of the sweet potatoes is determined by the amount of sunlight the leaves receive. More sunlight and leaf surface area that receives sun means larger sweet potatoes.
If space is an issue, consider growing vines vertically up a trellis to allow sunlight to reach the leaves and produce larger sweet potatoes.
Check longer vines occasionally and lift them up to keep them from rooting in the soil along the vines. Additional rooting will take energy away from the main tubers and instead create many undersized tubers.
