This February I attempted to grow sweet potato slips from some sweet potatoes we gleaned last Summer. Five potatoes were cut in half and donated to the cause of regeneration.
I dutifully kept them in 1" of water until roots sprouted and watched with excitement when, afterthree months in said water, one of them grew leaves!!
I beamed with pride at my little sweet potato -- no one believed it would ever sprout, and it wasbeautiful. Sure, the other 9 never made it, but the one that did was thriving.
My husband planted it last week.
Trying to be helpful, I weeded this week.
"Why is there that one huge weed in this otherwise clean bed?"
