Sweet potato


I like growing sweet potatoes, just bury them in the soil in June, and they will send shoots up in July, they like hot weather.

The heart shape leaves are beautiful and they spread on the ground and become a good ground cover. To promote its growth, I cut half meter of the shoot off and bury them elsewhere, it will develop as another plant. The more you cut, the more they branch out and become vigorous.


These young shoots could be cooked in a little water with olive oil and salt, very nutritious and tasty. 
In around September, they form small trumpet flowers, after that I could dig up the tubers.
