Re: Sweet Potato Vines

The size of the ornamental tubers is not at all insignificant! Here in
NYC I use then oftem in container combinations for clients. By the end
of the season the tuber has often grown so large that it's come up
through the top of the potting mix. It's not unusual for them to be
4-5 inches in diameter. Since I've always been told they were edible
but not tasty, I've never tried to cook them. I'd love to find out I'm
wrong.
