Harvesting Sweet Potato Sprouts

The sweet potato tubers have been enjoying the warmth of the wood stove the past four weeks and one is now growing many leafy sprouts. The next step in producing slips is to snap off these sprouts and place them into a jar filled with tepid water. Within a week these cuttings should develop roots as they become full-fledged slips.
