I finally got a small area of my own for a garden in my backyard. I've got some peppers growing there now, oddly enough. I had grown a whole bunch of plants to plant there earlier this year, but they were all killed in their youth by a group of unruly screeners who were repairing our pool screen (they got trampled on). So out of a mix of desperation and anger, I tossed the remaining bit of my pepper seeds onto a patch of dirt/mulch which is what is now my garden. I left it alone for a few months, and out of sheer blind neglect, the peppers actually sprouted and are doing quite well.
So since then I've been cleaning out the area, and have about 10 square feet to fill up. I've decided on sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes, but I can't seem to find anywhere that sells seed potatoes locally though (I'd really only need enough for 2-4 plants).
I'm not all that learned in the field of growing sweet potatoes (which are slightly different from regular potatoes, right?). Can I just go buy a sweet potato, dice it up, and plant it? Or do I need a specific seed potato?
If so, does anyone have any seed potatoes they'd be willing to trade for? My trade list is quite eclectic and limited, so my apologies about that.
Anyways, thanks!
