Alright… quick sweet potato update.
And before anyone says anything…
Yes.
I meant for this to happen 😄
I didn’t put these in jars to “try it out.”
I put them in there because I wanted as many slips as possible when planting time hits.
And right now?
Mission accomplished.
We’ve got:
* Slips popping out everywhere 🌱
* Roots going absolutely wild in the jars
* Leaves stacking on top of each other like they’re racing
This isn’t a sweet potato anymore.
This is a slip production system.
The strategy:
Instead of starting a few plants…
I figured:
Why not turn each potato into a whole line-up?
More slips = more plants
More plants = more harvest
More harvest = more food (and maybe a little bragging 😏)
The part I love about this:
There’s something really satisfying about seeing it work exactly how you planned.
No fancy setup.
No complicated system.
Just:
* Water
* Time
* Letting the plant do its thing
And sweet potatoes?
They don’t hold back.
Current situation:
I’m basically farming plants… before they even hit soil 😂
Soon I’ll be:
* Snipping slips
* Rooting them
* Getting them ready for the garden
And when planting time comes…
We’re not starting small.
Real talk:
If you’ve never done this before…
This is one of the easiest ways to multiply your garden fast.
You start with one potato…
And end up with a whole army.
And honestly?
That was the goal all along
