  • Am I too late to start growing sweet potatoes?

    Hi,
    I intended growing sweet potatoes this year but haven't had time to as yet. Wondered if I've missed the boat this year?
    Thanks.

    I have some slips in root trainers which have rooted quite nicely and I intend to plant out in the polytunnel next weekend. They do need a decent long summer so want to be in as soon as possible. They do a lot better in the UK if given protection which is why I'm going to try the tunnel - didn't do very well when I grew them in the border and took up too much space in the greenhouse.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      yep, i am affraid so. I have tried before and started really early in the year still no joy. They need very hot summer to grow the roots I am affraid our season is just not hot enough.
