I am enjoying the smells and sights here...<br /><br />Dew... many thanks for visiting my blog... as for sweet potatoes, it is best not to trim the leaves and stalks... they need to grow, and by doing so, the tubers will enlarge... another thing that I always do to the sweet potatoes is to prevent the rootlets (those emitting from the stalks) from getting a hold on the ground... which means to say, I only let the main stalk take root... this will concentrate all the nutrients to the main stalk, leading to larger tubers... hope this helps...<br /><br />rainfield61... right on... looks like it, smells like it, but it is not it... <br /><br />Cat...
