Anyone know of a Canadian mail-order source for sweet potato slips? I'm having no luck with Google. TIA.

I see you're in zone 2. As am I, and I have been told by multiple sources that sweet potatoes won't grow in this zone.

Little Grey Mare- Thanks so much! I'd all but given up.

I've heard that too, but I'm the type of person who just has to try it for myself anyway. We get some really long hot days, so sometimes we can get away with pulling off a crop that's not supposed to grow here.
