very helpful, thank you. I will now try and grow some. I was most concerned about how the vines grew, but now I know.

Hi,
I would have been even more thankful to learn what makes you understand that is the time to harvest and if the frost is passed before you harvest them, if the potatoes will be lost or still good if you harvest just after the frost?!
When there is a flower, does that mean that one potato or a group of potatoes will be perhaps growing under the plant?
thanks
(frenchie who planted some sweet potatoes 4 months ago, Australia)

@leesie1984 : I respect your opinions. But all the potatoes are the same to me. Some are sweet and some are plain with no flavor like the standard kind. Do you have a veggie garden? I grow my own potatoes. They all look the same. That’s how I come to conclusion that all potatoes are the same. Thanks for replying.

Potatoes are potatoes. It doesn’t matter if they’re white or red. They’re both potatoes! Which ones I prefer? I like them all! I eat them year round.

thanks for the clarification – my sweet potatoes have spade leaves.
AND BTW – I searched a lot of places for information.

“true” sweet potatoes? There are many kinds of sweet potatoes, and all colors from white to pink to orange to dark red. The true “yam” plant looks NOTHING like this and is a native of Africa (it’s a woody bush). These are definitely sweet potatoes. All sweet potatoes have leaves like these, kind of spade or heart shaped. The yam plant is much more upright and is VERY rarely grown in the western hemisphere (the Americas)

gosh – are those really sweet potatoes? or yams…
i am growing the true white ones.
everyone confuses the true sweet potato (white) with the orange yam.
those look like yams.
