    I grow Murasaki sweet potatoes and they’re the best sweet potato ever! I love that they have the drier, fluffier texture of a regular baked potato, but a hint of sweetness like a sweet potato. They’re amazing! And the one year I was able to grow them without deer pressure, they were extremely productive!

They were reddish purple on the outside and white on the inside “Murasaki” sweet potatoes. Wow they were so delicious. I wonder if I can grow more from one of these? You two are an inspiration to me. God bless you.

    I’ve been growing some purple sweet potatoes I picked up from the Asian market a couple years ago. They grow great and they produce delicious leaves all throughout the heat of summer and the sweet potatoes aren’t as sweet as regular sweet potatoes and they have a smoky flavor. They are good sweet or savory.

    I've heard that letting the vines grow SO long and letting them reroot as they sprawl severely hinders the sweet potato production because so much energy is going to the vines and new roots. I will be trellising mine high and any that spill over to root into the ground i will be pruning back and lifting the vines to prevent them from rooting

    For what it’s worth, if’n you’d buried the sweet potato instead of using toothpicks and water, you’d likely have gotten lots more slips, or at least that’s what Danny at Deep South Homestead recommends. If your experiment works out, maybe you can grow enough to sell slips in the future. At least you know you can get big taters. The biggest collection of sweet potatoes that I have found is Sand Hill Preservation Center, and they have hundreds.

      After watching this channel for many years, I used the water, jar, toothpick method to create slips and it works tremendously well for me. I put my jars on heat mats and they create slips by the hundreds. In 2022 I had approximately 420 slips out of just a few sweet potatoes. I had to scale back a little since I didn't have room in my garden for that many slips. Since then, I normally stop around 200 slips.

    • @DebRoo11

      I do it in a clear tub with a lid with air holes. I keep the temperature consistently humid and warm. They don't like the temps to go up and down day/night. A heating pad under works great. Once the roots form it isnt long before you get the slips and once they start it will go quite quickly. Don't do it in water like Hollis has it 😬 they need to be started end of winter really. You don't need the roots on the sweet potato to harvest the slips
