A typical growing season begins in February, when seed is put into hotbeds to grow plants (called slips) that will later be transplanted into fields. All sweetpotatoes are grown from transplants, which are set in the field from April through July. Harvest typically begins in late July and continues into November. During the winter, sweetpotatoes are stored, washed, sorted, and packed to be shipped throughout California and other western states.
