Sweet potatoes - wow!

Thanks to all who chipped in on the sweet potatoe chat a few months ago. You inspired me to plant one and now there is a 1m square of verdant bush in the orto and still spreading. It is weathering the drought really well too. Does the team think it is time to harvest a crop, and how do they survive the winter?

I have been reading a lot about their great properties, the only problem is that they are very difficult to find. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1318079/Sainsburys-healthy-purple-potatoes-taste-white-variety.html Just let us know how you go about this...
