I want to grow a few sweet potatoes this year. I found Sand Hill Preservation Center which has like 60 varieties, so I know where to get them.

Now how do I grow them????!!!????

I just got done asking my gram this last week. lol she says you grow them the same way you would a regular potato but that they like sandy soil. That you mix sand with your regular soil until it feels grittie, then its good for them. Make sure they stay covered cause the will get sun burned just like a regular tater. And they need to have 2 foot depth of broken up, rock free soil so they can grow down through easily. Hope this helps. :)
