Sweet Potatoes in the North

cdntomato · March 1, 2007

Yes, it can and is being done. And I'm coordinating a workshop on it, to be delivered by the guru in the North, Ken Allan. If anyone in the area is interested in attending or getting Ken's book, give me a buzz.

What I am looking for are variety recommendations. I have the only remaining SP variety bred by AgCanada, Georgia Jet (not the USDA one but a MUCH better strain apparently), Japanese, Korean Purple, 2 really rare/unusual NZ ones and was thinking about Nancy Hall, Hannah and the ubiquitous Beauregard.

Any feedback is gratefully received!!

Jennifer, trying to figure out how to bribe Glenn Drowns or David Pendergrass into sending seed tubers in the fall. Phytosanitaries from my end are a given.
