5. Sweet Potatoes- Place it in a mason jar half-filled with water with room for the good sun. Change the water periodically to avoid mould. Once the sweet potato sprouts (or keeps sprouting), wait for them to get four to five inches in length and then pull them off. Place the sprouts in a separate jar of water until roots start popping about. From there, plant them in a pot with ten inches of soil and wait for the goods to come. Keep in mind, they don’t dig on cold weather and they take months to grow.
