My daughter asked me to buy sweet potato plants. I bought 9 ( at Lowe's ) and planted 5, and gave 4 away.
Having never planted these before, I have no idea what kind of yield to expect.

We usually get 3-6 bigger sweets, and 4-5 smaller ones from the same plant.
Our PA garden was harder to grow them in because it doesn't stay hot long enough to get a *good* crop. In SC, I'd certainly never get a 50 pound yield from one plant. I think you can get some nice medium sized ones! We dug ours up after the first frost kills the vines. Good luck in PA!
