Granny's Sweet Potato Patch

 Progpagating and Planting Harvesting & Preparing

Starting Sweet Potatoes - Grade 1 (February) Students learn that sweet potatoes are not true potatoes by understanding the differences in their plant parts and study the sprouting of sweet potatoes in two different mediums.anny's Sweet Potato Patch starts indoors in February when first grade students set up a study to determine whether water or soil is better to grow sweet potato slips.  The Kroger Company donates the sweet potatoes for this program.

How to Grow

George Washington Carver
Students make predictions about the growth of slips in soil and water, and record the results based on their observations.  They plant the sweet potatoes  and slips in the sweet potato patch during the week following Mother's Day. 

 

In the fall, the now second graders, harvest the sweet potatoes and share them with the school for their fall parties.
