Sweet Potatoes

As with most things this year, done in a rush. It was mid June and I bought a bunch of cuttings for a few hundred yen, most of which I didn’t use.
The rows were built about 60 cm across, and the shoots inserted every 40 cm. This can be seen in far right of the picture.
It’s common practice here to cover the mounds in black plastic sheeting.
All of the Sweet Potatoes have been harvested, early November. Got about enough to fill a wheelbarrow. Seem to have got quite a menagerie.
