Sweet potato harvest

I noticed the other day that some of the sweet potatoes where rotting in the ground so although my initial idea was to just let the vines keep growing I dug them all up and replanted some of the tubers



12.5 kgs worth, not bad considering we have been picking them for at least 6 months now to eat and give away.
If you live in a mild climate then try growing sweet potatoes just buy some tubers from the super market and stil in ground just under the surface not deep like you would potatoes. They like a long growing season so it will be autumn when they are getting ready to start harvesting.
