did anyone grow them here successfully? If yes, which method did you use and where did you grow them (greenhouse, bags,outdoors)?

I've been told that the Midlands are too far north to grow them so I would be interested to know as well.

me too-I can no longer eat regular spuds so rely on sweet potatoes

And me  . I would love to know if they would grow up here.

I recall the Beechgrove Garden grew them a couple of years ago (or tried anyway).
In a polly tunnel I think it was.

I'd try it in a pt or greenhouse or on top of a 'hot bed'. 
It would be worth a go.

I actually grew some last year. I just grew them outdoors- didn't plan it at all, they were just reduced to 50p in homebase in May so I decided to give them a try.


They did fine, I got really lucky- but we had a really good summer last year. I don't think they would do well in a normal year, and dreadfully in a bad year (like 2012).

But we deserve a good summer after this winter so it might be worth a go.
