To grow sweet potato slips, start with healthy, unblemished sweet potatoes. Submerge half of each potato in water, using toothpicks for support. Place them in a warm, sunny spot. After a few weeks, shoots (slips) will begin to form. When the slips reach about 6 inches long, gently twist them off the potato. Place the slips in water until they develop roots. Once roots are about an inch long, tr...

    Gardening is definitely a learning experience. The successes and failures help us to be better gardeners. Your plum tree looks awesome! Hopefully, your cherry tree will eventually be productive. Otherwise you can maybe try a different variety. Those are some huge kale plants. What variety are they?
