Do you know which variety of sweet potato? I’m also keeping an eye out for a cold hardy variety that I can start growing slips from.

No, the nursery just had a large bag of regular ones and sweet potatoes, so i grabbed some. They just look like the common ones you see at the store, but had lots of eyes already. I'm keeping an out for a purple variety. When i grew slips before, they sat for a while, then when it was warm enough the slips started growing. I use the method where you bury the potato halfway in soil.
Thanks. I’m on the lookout for some organic ones that haven’t been treated to prevent sprouting. None of my local stores have had much choice, and farmers markets in my area are nonexistent this time of year. I might make trip to whole foods next week though. I want to try that buried-halfway method too.
