Now for the sweet potatoes. I am in the process of creating sweet potato slips to plant out in the garden. I told you I would blog about the process as I go so that you all could follow along at home. The first step is to get a sweet potato either from seed potatoes at your local garden center, or at the grocery store. Cut the potato in half, Polk two tooth picks into it and place in a cup of water cover 1/3 to 1/2 way up the potato cut side down. Leave in a bright very warm area for several weeks until green leafy shoots form from the top. Here is a picture of what your potato should look like as it is ready to grow shoots.

Check back for updates as it grows.
