I've googled and hunted around on the internet and cannot seem to get a straight answer. So, I'm going to ask here. Are you supposed to / is it recommended to cut back the vines on your sweet potatoes during the growing season? Last year the vines on my Beauregards went crazy! We dug up several good size sweet potatoes for sure (overall I was pleased) but I also had several that were the size of a carrot and someone told me it had to do with the nutrients going to sustain the vines instead of the roots (aka potatoes). I don't know what's true and what isn't. What's your take?
