These are the potato slips we are growing this year. We love sweet potatoes and this year we were given a variety that we had not tried in the past. We grow our slips with a method that most gardeners use and that is with toothpicks and water in a jar.
Enjoy the photos!
Thanks for stopping by and we hope your garden is growing this spring. Now go grow some sweet potatoes!

Those potatoes look huge! I bought some purple potato seed this year but I think I planted too soon. Pretty sure they rotted in the ground :( Im curious how they taste.

Zac...I have seen some people cut them in half to get 2 slips from one potato. Do you find that leaving them whole works better?

Gonna have to try this method of growing. I remember my father used to just cut them up making sure they had "eyes" on them and then just bury them in the garden and magically they would just grow (;
