Question:
Is it too late to plant sweet potatoes?
Answer:
UT Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture Natalie Bumgarner talks about sweet potatoes and their growing season. Sweet potatoes take 100-140 days to finish their life cycle and be ready to harvest. They are very frost sensitive so they are one of the last things to be planted. This also means that they cannot be planted very late in the year because of the fall frost.
