Planting Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation:
   Sweet potatoes are grown from slips, not seeds. To prepare slips, place a healthy sweet potato in water or moist soil in a warm, sunny spot. Once slips are 6-12 inches long, twist them off carefully.

2. Sowing:

   • Plant slips outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperature is above 70°F (21°C).
   • Loosen the soil and prepare the planting bed.
   • Space slips 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows 3 feet (90 cm) apart. Bury slips up to their top leaves and water well.

3. Germination:

   • Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged until slips are well-established.

4. Care:

   • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
   • Mulch to retain moisture and keep soil warm.

Harvesting:
Harvest sweet potatoes 90-120 days after planting when the leaves start to yellow. Dig up tubers carefully and cure them in a warm, dry place for 1-2 weeks to enhance sweetness and storage life.
