I'm about ready to harvest my one lone sweet potato! I don't know about you but I love to know how my favorite foods are grown and what conditions are required to have good success. This was a sweet potato top that I was about to discard when I made the decision to plant it in about two inches of very dark soil in a raised garden bed recently struck by my neighbor's falling tree.
My big plans are cut ultra-thin sweet potato chips, deep fry them and serve them up with a Maytag blue cheese and enjoy my sweet potato as a delicious appetizer.
What's for dessert? Two watermelons grown from seeds!

To have really good growth and success with gardening things that dont normally grow well in your yard, i would suggest getting a raised garden bed and put in the right soil in there and place it in the right spot as well. That will help you out a lot i think! good luck!
Thanks, Eric! I appreciate the words of wisdom. This bed is raised and everything seems to love the soil. Having been hit by a falling tree limb (a very large one) we're making plans to move it to a new sunny location!
