Looks like they are going to have plenty of slips this year. Mail in your order today!
Also, this is unrelated to sweet potatoes, but we have received poultry 3 orders from them so far, 25 mixed chicks, 20 ducks, and 25 mixed chicks. We have been really pleased with what we received. We have three additional orders coming so far this summer, 15 Bresse chicks, 15 mixed quail, and 80 mixed chicks. I highly recommend them if you need to order poultry, just keep in mind that they only take orders via mail (the good old fashion way).
Is there a reason why sweet potatoes don’t make seeds? Mine flower profusely but never make any. I don’t really want/need them to, more of a curiosity.
As an update, all of my plants look healthy and are growing.
I think there is something to be said for plants that have been propagated vegetatively for such a long time having a tendency to produce less seed. There is also some anecdotal evidence that plants produced from seed tend to be better at producing viable seed themselves. There’s a fellow in southern Indiana named Mark Reed that collects sweet potato seed, and he’s talked about that characteristic. He’s even to the point now where he regularly gets seed grown volunteer sweet potatoes in his Indiana garden. Not a long enough season for the volunteers to produce but that’s still pretty amazing.
