Purple sweet potato slips?

10 years ago

Hi there,

I'm brand new here so I hope I'm posting under the right forum (this could probably fall under exchanges depending how you look at it) so excuse me if I'm out of line, but I'm desperately seeking a local source of purple sweet potato slips. If anyone knows of a source or has some available I'd greatly appreciate the help :) thanks!

You could go to the Asian market and buy some purple sweet potatoes. I still have some regular sweet potatoes that grew from old sweet potatoes that I tossed in the garden.

Great backup plan! I was fortunate enough to find an old shriveled up yam that had some sprouts, I just put it in some water this morning so hopefully it'll work, thanks!
