Sweet potatoes - wow!

Thanks to all who chipped in on the sweet potatoe chat a few months ago. You inspired me to plant one and now there is a 1m square of verdant bush in the orto and still spreading. It is weathering the drought really well too. Does the team think it is time to harvest a crop, and how do they survive the winter?

NEXT TIME... PURPLE POTATOES

Seeing that you have been very successful with the sweet potatoes, perhaps you could consider growing purple potatoes. I have been reading a lot about their great properties, the only problem is that they are very difficult to find.

Just let us know how you go about this...
