I feel very fortunate to get these (variety=PortoRico). Early August some deer ate them down leaving only about 30% of the foliage (only planted 4 slips). They did grow back but hadn’t flowered yet. We are looking at lotsa rain this weekend (dif from just plain rain, LOL) after a relatively dry fall so far. So I thought best to pull them. Only one was cracked which will cure up just fine. Very thankful to get some decent potatoes.
I put them up and forget about them for a month. Our humidity is high in the fall so maybe that’s why I’ve never had problems. Sweet potatoes are pretty forgiving.
