RE: What Should I Grow Contest - Win Shares in Steembasicincome
Sweet potatoes. For sure. Pretty darn easy to grow and not a lot of maintenance. You just have to keep the vine growing on something so that it doesn't try to send down new shoots. You can do just about anything with a sweet potato that you would do with a regular potato.
I hadn't thought about sweet potatoes. They might be a challenge in our short warm weather growing season but I want to give them a try.
We're in a 6b zone here in Detroit and they managed pretty well, but I know they benefit from warmer conditions. I read somewhere to cover the soil with clear plastic to help keep the soil warm. We didn't do it, but might be worth a shot.
Cheers.
I'm going to try out growing some plants in a low tunnel this year. That would probably be a great place to put sweet potatoes. It should give them a little extra warmth early in the season.
