Rivka, I'd be curious to know how you grow sweet potatoes in your 6a zone.  I have tried sweet potatoes here once or twice, and we're supposedly hovering between 7/8 in terms of USDA climate zoning. But we never seem to have a long enough season for sweet potatoes.  How do you do it there, with an even shorter season than we have?  I'd just about given up on them in general but now I'm intrigued that perhaps I was just doing something wrong.  Fix those mistakes and we could grow them here.  Perhaps?
