Sweet Potatoes

After all danger of frost, when the soil is warm, plant in rows 2-3' apart, spacing the plants 15" apart. Grows best in well-drained, sandy soil. Use black plastic to get a jump on the season. Create 16-20" wide raised beds and cover with black plastic, hilling earth over the edges to secure them. Cut an 'X' in the plastic every 15", in a diamond pattern to make best use of the wide row. As you plant, make certain the roots are pressed firmly into the soil for good root-soil contact, and water. Harvest after the first frost (avoid bruising the sweet potatoes). Store at 55-60°F in a well-ventilated area.
