They will start growing their own roots then. Just take the tiny seedlings, and plant them in the garden just like any other plant.<BR/><BR/>EGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563051087162389665.post-1796028690018136412009-03-11T12:29:00.000-04:002009-03-11T12:29:00.000-04:00Hmm...Hermy must have been a genetic potato freak ...Hmm...Hermy must have been a genetic potato freak ,hopefully that nice couple will provide you with lots of offspring.

Was it you who asked me how I grew my sweet potatoes, and I forgot to reply? I am on the scatterbrained side. I get mine at a local nursery that sells them in clumps. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious to see how yours grow. I plan to experiment with different ornamental sweet potatoes to see how they taste, too.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563051087162389665.post-37659287173909242742009-03-10T15:08:00.000-04:002009-03-10T15:08:00.000-04:00Dani - Nematodes?
