Have you heard of ‘tossing the vine’? In #marathi they call this, ‘vel ultaichi’ And the way it is done is to lift the end of the creeper and toss it in the opposite direction. In this picture you see a baby sweet potato ( Shakarkand/ Ratalay) creeper. The belief is that if the creeper advances and takes root at multiple places, it is a distraction and hence the sweet potato at the root does not grow to its potential. So every two days, the farmer keeps tossing the creeper to the opposite direction to ensure that there is only a single root and it gets all the attention from the plant! In this case more soil was added since the baby sweet potato was exposed - four weeks more to harvest the first batch! I’m looking forward to it! #sweetpotato
