I love sweet potato, especially the purple one. I think this variety has the strongest sweet taste compared to other varieties. Thanks for this informative post. I’d like to try planting this plant in my backyard this weekend.

Thanks for your comment Olive. We have grown white potatoes in tires before. I guess it wasn’t my favorite way because I don’t do that anymore. Sweet potatoes really like to grow in hot dry sandy soil. I think if that is what they get they will grow anywhere. If it is tire grown or no grow I would go for the tires. If there is a choice I would just put them in the ground, on account of being concerned about what the tires might leak out into the soil over time.

Thanks for your comment Sara. Last fall when I grew red bliss potatoes I was stunned to find out that they are waaaayyyy better than the grocery store potato that I had planted to make them. I am hoping that fresh sweet potatoes are also better tasting than their grocery store cousins.
