Sweet Potato cuttings

I took some cuttings from an old shop-bought sweet potato a few weeks ago. They all seem to have rooted perfectly. Now I am not sure how to get them through the Winter. I think they will be coming into a cool conservatory to protect from frost, but not too warm so they get leggy. Posted by Picasa

Seed Catalogues

This time of year when the garden is slowing down, what I love to do most is to read through seed catalogues and dream of what I am going to grow next year!

Any spare minute in these short Winter days, you will find me thumbing through the vegetable catalogues. I am looking to try something different and unusual every year. I have grown physallis, tomatillo, salsifis, scorzonera and sweet potatoes in the past.

Can anyone please recommend a good website or company where I can send off for a seed catalogue?
