Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Don you can dig up more info on almost anything that grows on www.gardenweb.com It started out as a small list of forums and has grown enormously. Someone might even have info on growing sweet potatoes in a greenhouse, especially keeping the nights warmer by use of black 55 gal drums of water that collect heat during the day and release it slowly at night.

They are famous for Russets and other kinds of white potatoes. Sweet potatoes grow in the south where they have a long growing season and hot weather. I am not sure if the amount of daylight hours has any effect on their growing too, but in the south the amount of day and night hours are closer than in the extreme north where it stays light longer in summer and dark longer in winter. Gayla =============================Thanks Gayla,Now I know!! :-) Still, I wonder if maybe a green house or hot box setup might work. Then again I guess it depends on how much daylight is needed. I have never grown sweet potatoes, yams or anything. I have grown potatoes. So I don't know much about their growing habits and season. I do appreciate your information though. Thanks again. Peace be with you Gayla.-- Peace, love and light, Don Quai "Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man."
