I want to dig a few sweet potatoes to take to Bud's daughter. I dug 5 out yesterday then quit because I was afraid I'd hurt the plants. The soil is very easy to dig in, I used my hands to dig yesterday. There are lots of huge potatoes under the vines plus lots of small ones.
Here is a photo of one of the sweet potato rows. Originally the rows were 30' long and on 6' centers. The sweet potatoes have taken over two additional rows and are heading for two more. They've rooted to the ground in several spots.
My question: Can I dig some more sweet potatoes without hurting the plants?
