These are 'Georgia Jet' Sweet potatoes. These didn't go in the ground until July 14th. I am not sure if they will yield a crop or not as the planting date is a month later than I would normally choose to plant. The place that I had ordered my sets from sold out and I had to make a last minute order around the fourth of July. The plants didn't arrive until the 13th of July. They went in the next day. I have a couple things going for me. The 'Georgia Jets' are the fastest maturing variety that I have found. In fact you really don't want to leave them in the ground for too long because they get huge and split right open. The other advantage I have is that the temps have been good and I have them on black plastic. Now lets just hope the voles don't get them all. That has happened before, actually more than once.
