We had success with growing sweet potatoes only once. All our efforts after that landed in the mongoose digging up the ground where we planted them.
I have now created a garden bed in an enclosure and have planted cuttings there I hope they will grow and I will get the joy to see sweet potatoes there Sweet potatoes are available here in the market and I get them often It is just my interest to grow them myself.
Keeping my fingers crossed

@allknowing I never tried to grow sweet potatoes, we both do not like the taste.

I hate washing them. Our guys here those who sell do not wash them well. Mongoose dig for tubers.
