I thought you had to start them with "slips" that you propagate from sweet potatoes? I've been working on that, and discovered that it's not as foolproof as some would say. But, I finally have some slips that are coming on. Required some heat from a seedling mat and a grow light. We've also had a somewhat cold and cloudy spring too.
Hm idk, I live way south so I may have more heat and humidity than yall do. I just planted mine directly in the ground and its been sweet potatoe city for me ever sense. I move them around, get different kinds, they all do well.
My soil can also be a factor. Every area is very different, even a couple of hours drive makes a huge difference. So I guess they aren't fool proof for everyone.
