sweet potatoes


Question
I am in northern MN. I have an acre cleared that could be planted.  I would like to use it for a crop, possibly a 90 day sweet potatoes.  Can you start them in a green house and transpant?
Would you have other suggestions in an area where the deer are plentiful?
Thank you,
Pat

Answer
Dear Pat,
As far as I know, sweet potatoes have to be started in a greenhouse.  I've never planted them like Russets.  I always set out slips when I plant them.  Sounds like a good crop where deer are abundant.
I wish you well.
Kind Regards,
Kindred
