Re: Sweet Potatoes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

We are zone 4 and have been growing sweet potatoes for over 12 years in raised
>beds.

Deany deserves high praise.  Getting sweet potatoes to do well in chilly 
zone 4 is quite a feat.  In fact, a big part of one episode of the Victory 
Garden was devoted to that very subject 2 years ago, with the black-plastic 
method working well for the VG's Boston gardens.

Anybody on the List have any experience growing the white sweet potato 
found on Maryland's eastern shore?  It's called a Hayman.  My inlaws are 
big Hayman fans but can't get them in Pennsylvania.  I'd be willing to try 
growing it if I could.

Said not to be ready to eat much before Thanksgiving....
