Sweet Potatoes
I have sweet potatoes in containers for the first time. Most of the leaves disappeared quickly and I think deer may have been the cause, but not sure. Should I harvest the crop early or leave them alone until normal harvest time? Thank you for the help.

I suggest you leave them until regular harvest time but try not be disappointed with the yield. If the foliage was missing there is less of a way for the plant to make big tubers. Maybe next year. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
