Yep. I got them from an internet company in Oregon I think.

I was looking for a place to buy Hawaiian/Okinawan Sweet Potato slips (they are purple too). I couldn’t find any, so settled for the purple majesty. Maybe I can find a Hawaiian Freeper who will ship me a few potatoes and I’ll grow the slips myself for next year.

I’m growing some Georgia Jet slips from the remnants of last years harvest. I should have done that in March rather than buying more from an online site. Most of them died. Replacements from Home Depot (Beauregard’s) were cheaper and are doing better. So worst case, Home Depot, but growing my own slips is far easier than I thought it would be, so that’s the plan for next year.

That potato looks scary! (I’ve led a sheltered life.)
