Harvesting

Harvest sweet potatoes when
mature but before killing frost.
A test of maturity may be made
by breaking a potato in two
pieces. IT mature, there will be
little sap, and the broken surface
will turn white and appear dry
after being exposed to sun a few
minutes. 1t immature the sap
will be more plentiful, and the
surface of the potato will appear
green or black spotted.
Clip vines, using method that
will not bruise potatoes.
Harvest potatoes with large
turn plo% or standard potato
plow. Plow deep in order 10
