Why You Should Grow Purple Sweet Potatoes | Planting Sweet Potatoes in Raised Beds

A few months ago, I found organic Stokes purple sweet potatoes at the local grocery store, and I decided to buy one so we could propagate sweet potato slips from it and try to grow our own.

In the past we have only grown Purple Passion sweet potatoes, and we enjoyed their taste, and so when we saw another variety of purple sweet potato that we could grow, we jumped at the chance.

These purple sweet potatoes contain anthocyanins and we will talk about anthocyanins benefits, in cluding that they are helpful and have antioxidant properties, and that is just one of the benefits of growing purple sweet potatoes.

In this video, we talk about why you should grow purple sweet potatoes, we talk a little about anthocyanins health benefits, and we show you how we are planting these Stokes sweet potatoes, and how we are trying to prevent vole damage this year from occuring to our sweet potatoes. We don't know if this will be the solution to stop the e-vole empire, but this is another step we are taking to try to keep our crop whole.
