   medium sized and the

     i've never heard of them before, but i wonder if the   
   method of making sure the energy for the vines is only   
   going into the central clump would help...   
      
     our soil here is way too wrong for sweet potatoes in   
   most gardens so we've not tried to grow them here since   
   i've been around.
