Sweet Potatoe Vine

Sweet potatoes and Potatoes are two entirely different vegetables, however sweet potatoes sound like they will be easier to grow.. This veggie will have to have 4 monts of warm weather to grow to size. They desire full sun / partial shade, however  afternoon shade is preferred in hotter climates. Soil Ph is said to be 5.0 to 6.5. Something to keep in mind:  Feeding sweet potatoes just increases foliage. So plant these in soil high organic matter and leave them alone! To prevent disease from year to year rotate your crop.
