@Amberjem Guess you were right about putting sweet potatoes in dirt. Everything I seen so far showed putting in water then putting slips in water. Just was checking out a site that starts them in dirt, then puts the slips burried to the leaves directly in dirt. The website provided a link to Sandhill on growing sweet potatoes, can't believe I missed reading it. Sandhill has 225 different varieties of sweet potatoes. This is how they start theirs;

"We start the slips by placing the roots in a slightly dug out area. then cover with peat moss and wet it down. Number nine wire hoops are placed over the area and the whole area is covered in clear plastic (forming a grow tunnel). We lay a soaker hose down the 2-3 foot wide bed and bury the edges of the 50-75 foot long tunnels on both sides with dirt. In the garden it looks like long, clear worms. The beds are not disturbed for the first 2 weeks. Then the plastic is lifted and any weeds removed and a check is made for slip development. Generally 3 weeks after bedding down the first slips are ready to be shipped out. (If we have not had any heat or sunshine during that time, it takes longer for the potatoes to start sprouting.) When those slips are pulled, then more develop and are ready to go out about every 5 days. PLEASE NOTE: The slips for each individual order are all pulled within a few minutes of each other and the order is mailed out that same day."

Some reno pics for Amber

I don't feel like putting these on FB too many opinionated relatives lol
So if you remeber we put a roof over our over sized (700sq ft) deck and a room up top as well. Well now under that room I've added a sunroom, we've just started doing some of the exterior finishing work.

Ripping things apart
