Our Sweet Potatoes "Mothers" are just beginning to vine. Most seem to produce long creamy white multi-branched Roots 1st which is what this one has done. A few seem to go straight for the Vines. Overall, the Sweet Potatoes seem a bit slower than last year. I wonder if it is because we have had less Sun.
Matt and Sheri gave us 3 of their Beauregard Sweet Potatoes which we were eager to start. Surprisingly, their Sweet Potatoes did not have any starts beginning when they gave them to us. And they still don't. In fact, all 3 now show signs of rotting; 2 are rotting from top and bottom; 1 is rotting from the bottom (although I have a hard time telling its top from its bottom).
I wonder what that means. What happened in the development of those Potatoes that they just don't seem to want to produce life? We try to "listen to the voices" of the Plants. They surely are guiding us in our Gardening Adventures.
