Sweet Potatoes! This is all we got from 6 slips, but I wasn't expecting to get anything, so I'm happy! Another Garden Experiment worth repeating next year. Found a 6-pack at Walmart of all places. There are two HUGE ones, a lot of medium and a few fingerlings. There are some black spots on the bigger ones, but it doesn't look like 'rot' and I can work around it. The soil in the lower garden is rocky, so I'm assuming that's why they all grew kind of curvy.

What a great yield from six slips in your growing area! Those look delicious!

If you take one of the choice sweet potatoes and put it in a container of some sort and plant it you can slip it next year for your own slips. They are way more productive if you cut the slips and plant them that day or the next (store them in damp peat moss overnight if you can’t plant them that day). Keep them watered for a week or 10 days and you’re good to go.

I’ve slipped my own sweet potatoes for several years now. Will be maintaining 10 varieties this winter in containers in my unheated (but doesn’t freeze) garage.

I’m interested in learning about the honeynut squash. I STARTED to order those from jungs this year but got sidetracked and just didn’t add them to the cart. Were they really viney or more compact? How large did the individual squash get for you? etc.
