Sweet Potato Project

K-dog started a science project growing a sweet potato vine from a whole sweet potato. We thought it would be fun to allow y'all to join in on the project! The following is what she has discovered during the project.

On February 16th, 2013 she placed the sweet potato in a mason jar full of water. She then had me place it in a south facing window so it would receive sunlight throughout the day!

On March 12 the first root was seen!
On March 26th the first vine bud formed
(Vine bud can be seen just to the left of the toothpick & above the lip of the jar)


On April 9th we can see the vine buds have grown & the roots have continued to grow.


Please check back for more reports on the sweet potato project.

Thank you,
K-Dog & Momma Sie
