	*Plant after any risk of frost.		*Plant after any risk of frost.

	*		*Planting with frost coming later is situationally ok because the water inside a grown sweet potato causes a moderating effect that enables the plant to last in the cold longer than it would normally as a new split.

			*Beauregard sweet potatoes are harvest-ready in 90 days.

			*Centennial sweet potatoes are harvest-ready in 100 days.

			=Planting Material=

			*Sweet potatoes grow from splits, thin root-like things.

			*If you cut a sweet potato in half then submerge it in water, the splits will grow.

			=Spacing=

			*Plant sweet potatoes 2-4 inches below the topsoil surface

			*Plant sweet potatoes 12-18 inches apart in rows

			*Plant the rows at least 2-3 ft apart

			=How to Plant=

			*Till the ground to loosen the soil

			*Make holes in the soil in rows and put the splits into them

			*Cover the holes with soil and lightly tamp them
