I will give them a five in PA north they do grow, but you need sandy soil they do not like compacted soil I learned the hard way. But what we got was very good anyway recommend yes.

A wonderful product
Reviewed By: Keith (Madison, CT)
This product will change the minds of those who don't think sweet potatoes can be grown north of the Mason-Dixon line. Wonderful potatoes that kept through Christmas, when they were finally all eaten. They don't take up too much room in the garden and are easy to set and harvest. A lot of fun to point out to wondering neighbors who can't believe sweet potatoes can be grown in Zone 5.
