Beginner Gardening: Sweet Potato Problem - third year in a row - why??, 1 by Farmerdill

Yes, But slowly. If you have good vines and Beauregard has lots of vine, the potatoes should form. One thing, sweet potatoes don't like to grow flat. I plant on a list about 4 inches higher than the surrounding ground. Usually the worst effect of planting flat is that they grow out along the vine rather than directly under the plant. Both fusarium and nematodes affect the vines. I really can't comprehend why you don't have sweet potatoes.
