Hi Bev,

If it was a Hybird variety that is what will happen. Only a heritage variety 
will continue going as it should.

Subject: [Homestead] Sweet potatoes

I bought some sweet potatoes about 3-4 years ago-I can't remember the
variety now and don't feel like looking it up, but I was
wondering...just how well do sweet potatoes adapt to a specific soil?
For a couple of years now, I have saved a potato and started slips for
the next season.  It seems to me that the potatoes this year were
smaller than in past years...have I lost adaption, or do you think it
was just the drought?

Bev

They can tolerate drought conditions in the last weeks but not in the first 
weeks.  Could just be a bad year.
