Growing Tips

1. Start with Slips: Sweet potatoes are grown from slips (young shoots) rather than seeds. Purchase or start your own slips indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost date.
2. Plant After Frost: Transplant slips outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil temperature has warmed up to at least 60°F (15°C).
3. Space Properly: Space slips 12–18 inches apart in rows that are 36–48 inches apart to allow for proper growth and vine spread.
4. Water Regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the early stages of growth and during tuber formation. Ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot.
5. Harvest at Maturity: Harvest Beauregard sweet potatoes when the vines begin to yellow and die back. Dig carefully to avoid damaging the tubers.
