Many of us are familiar with rooting cuttings of ornamental sweet potatoes to make more vines, but why let the end of summer be the end of your vines? Use this easy method to harvest sweet potatoes (made by your own ornamental vines) to propagate next season's plants, and save money by turning this annual into a perennial.

A missing bite shouldn't be an issue

Ornamental potatoes will have eyes on them, just like regular potatoes and this will be where the leaves will emerge. One potato will make many vines in the spring.
