Amazing!
Reviewed By: Laura (Las Vegas, Nevada)
These are fantastic sweet potatoes! We were amazed at the beauty of the vines, even in the desert heat they were green and gorgeous! The number of sweet potatoes we harvest was more than we could have ever imagined and so delicious! Sweet Potatoes are my family's favorite thing to grow in our garden. It is a very easy and satisfying addition to our garden. Can't wait to grow more next year!

Huge crop
Reviewed By: toni (cooleemee, N.C.)
I put in the georgia jets last year and was amazed. I had no idea what I was doing, I had never grown potatoes before, but the crop was huge. According to my father-in-law too huge. Apparently I left them in the ground too long, some of them were over ten pounds apiece and bigger than my head. They still had a great taste and after proccesing we had enough to last our family of five for an entire year. We couldn't believe it because we only put in ten plants. If you're new to gardening this one's for you, you can't mess these up.

Prize winner every year
Reviewed By: Steven Wilson (Warner Robins, GA)
I have ordered your Georgia Jets for many years. They consistently produce large crops here in Middle Georgia. Every year, I enter my sweet potatoes in the Georgia National Fair, and walk away with another blue ribbon. One year, my potatoes disappeared before I could pick up my prize. Even someone in the crowd knew how good they were. And, they make the best sweet potato casserole. Thanks again.
