Shipping Season begins May 18, WE SHIP WHEN SLIPS ARE READY. Not all varieties of sweetpotatoes will make slips at the same time, some are early, and some will be later. While we try our best to ship on your request ship date, if you are not able to accept a delay in shipping (especially on the varieties indicated as being slow to sprout) then please find another source for your slips. Also, weather greatly influences the rate of growth. A cool spring means slower slip production. Please indicate your preferred shipping week. If a date is not provided, we will ship when we feel is best for your growing zone. If you think there might be a possibility of changing your ship dates, please wait to order until you know as if is almost impossible for us to make changes once we get the order. We ship Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Friday and sometimes Saturday for Monday delivery. Shipping usually begins about May 18, but if you indicate ASAP we will ship when slips are ready.

None of our plants are GMO s. We are not Certified Organic. We do not use dangerous pesticides. All our pleats were grown on rented Certified Organic land this year without any chemicals, but we are not certified organic.

If you absolutely need your plants earlier, we suggest you find another source that can guarantee early shipping. We recommend you check the updates and availability.

Please do not request shipping before your soil temps are in the 60 s. If you want shipping before that time our plant guarantee is void. And yes, we realize that the Deep South warms up faster than we do, but it doesn t make our plants grow faster.
