Cheers for the link Giaur500! Where is your growing spot btw? Eastern Poland I'm southern Dorset in the UK, not much luck outside but since I got the tunnel it has provided the moistness & humidity this variety seems to like. All my attempts are only outside, but I'm thinking about greenhouse. ...

Good indeed, similar size as the one available to buy. And, you have variety I am missing - red skin and orange flesh, it's quite rare to buy in my country. Btw one variety I have is very fast growing one, even 2 times faster than others, I am not sure, but tubers are very similar to "Hannah&qu...

Hmm, it seems flowering is not good: https://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/outdo ... ce-flowers because it affects tubers size, that's what I've suspected. I rather need to remove flowers.

Closer look to flowers:


They look pretty nice, don't you think? As I heard, it's rare to get sweet potato blossom. Well, but apparently, possible.

Well, flowers on all of them: https://i.imgur.com/VLaCZEE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MVbbVNF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9RnxhEd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aijcMYY.jpg But I don't know, is that good or bad. I want bulbs, not flowers. Nobody gets them flowering in most cases.

What other interesting things are you growing? Colocasia Esculenta (mentioned in other thread) - quite good results (but it's first time, so I don't know yet what final result should I expect) and chinese yam ( m) - moderate result, but I hope I will get some crop next year, as they shouuld be able...

Not really, they even don't grow.

Actually, not professionally (not commercial/to sell) but still I want to get more fruits. I have some free open space, so that's not any problem to let them grow as they want to, especially when it's so easy to store fruits

I got flowers, look:


Intetesting, but this variety grows very poor, I guess that's because it's too cold. It produced flowers instead.

Yes, sunny open space is a must if you are thinking about any serious crop. Otherwise, it may be only for fun to get a few fruits.

BTW I still have fruits harvested last year and they are still not decayed. It's really unbelievable how long it can be stored without any special treatment required

All is fine so far, they grow: https://i.imgur.com/eYYWwBK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Tochh0k.jpg Big amount of flowers and first fruits are there: https://i.imgur.com/GZYk69z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XoCmU52.jpg How do you think? Not bad in my opinion.

Why not? But still you need to prepare some room, because they are going to creep around. Or you can try with some kind of trellis to save space

I'll tell you what - from curiosity, I checked weather conditions in UK (London) and NL (Amsterdam) past few weeks and I must say it's even warmer than I am getting in my location. I am sure you could get even better results than I got. But it looks like you still afraid it's too cold to grow it out...

It grows like crazy:


Look how large leaves it creates.
