sweet potato sprouts on the window sill

sprouts on the sill 079

My sweet potatoes I dug last fall finally sprouted this fall. As Donald recommended, I potted them up. They are on my kitchen window sill with cacti and a poinsettia.

Very pretty! It's always nice when you finally see those sprouts pop up and realize that you did it!

Glad to see sweet potato growing on your windowsill indoor. I am experimenting this year and recently potted the vine I was rooting. It is growing on my windowsill and so far looks healthy.

Will you replant outside in the spring?

Also, I ate a fair amount of our sweet potato leaves this year. They were really tasty, a little peppery. The heart shapes look beautiful on a salad.

There is the winter squash variety which is grown in summer and can be stored right through winter, hence the name. The skin is thick and hard for winter squash.
