Growing Sweet Potato, also Kumara

View the Sweet Potato page

30 May 25 Glenn (Australia - tropical climate)
Hello :) I planted my sweet potatoes in mid January, therefore they have had a good 16 weeks of growth however, they leaves are still very green and healthy looking. I know that I am supposed to wait until the leaves die down and turn brown, but I wanted to know if the leaves turning brown wasn't always a factor, and that I could harvest them now based on the time since planting? Thank you very much for your guidance. G.
