Sweet Potatoes

I am always interested in trying new varieties and types of veg- sweet potatoes don't grow easily in Britain but thought I would give it a try. This method seems to be working to get them started, the tubers came from Sainsbury's and I have suspended them in water in a jar and after about 2 weeks this is the result- roots and shoots. I tried 2 tubors but the other I put in an opaque pot- that one did not shoot at first so I have transferred it to a glass jar and that is now growing away. The next step is to pot them in to compost and see what happens over the summer!(Tried hard to get a pic that did not look too rude!)
