“I placed my order for sweet potato slips in the mid to late winter. By late May I still had not received them. I emailed to inquire about my order. 2 days later I received a response. Due to the ongoing up and down weather conditions in the Northeast, they were holding my order for another two weeks. That was a great decision! Even after my slips arrived and placed them in a glass of water, it was still another 3 weeks before I could be confident that the weather was going to cooperate.
I only lost one slip from my order. We are now going into August and they look phenomenal! I planted them in a raised bed between two other beds that have tomato plants. I trained the vines to go into the other two beds and they have made a great cover around the base of the tomato plants. Not only are they helping to keep the soil from drying out, they also help prevent splash up when it rains, protecting the maters from fungal diseases and have provided shade for my lower hanging tomatoes so no sun scald!
Looking forward to harvest time to see how they turn out!”
