Growing Sweet Potato, also Kumara

View the Sweet Potato page

22 Mar 14 John (Australia - temperate climate)
I have 2 sweet potatoes that have grown shoots whilst in the cupboard . If i cut them in half can I use half and plant the other half or should I allow the shoots to continue growing and plant those later . Its autumn now.. I have a plot I can use that would be sheltered from frost although we only get a couple each year
