One forgotten sweet potato... and now the beginning of a future harvest. π±π
Instead of tossing this sprouted sweet potato, we're turning the sprouts (called slips) into new plants. After they grow roots in water, they'll head to the garden where they'll hopefully produce plenty of sweet potatoes this fall.
Homesteading has taught us that not everything has to go to waste. Sometimes yesterday's kitchen scrap becomes tomorrow's harvest.
Have you ever grown sweet potatoes from slips?
