Heart & Blood Vessels: Your Coronary Arteries. The heart receives its own supply of blood from the coronary arteries. Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet. These arteries and their branches supply all parts of the heart muscle with blood.
Mound the soil into a raised rows to a height of 8 to 12 inches and 6 to 8 inches wide, spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. This provides loose soil for the formation of tubers and promotes healthy growth. Plant sweet potato slips 10 to 12 inches apart and firm the soil down with your hands to secure the plant. Water thoroughly to moisten the mound of soil. Keep soil evenly moist until new growth appears. Mulch with organic matter to conserve moisture and prevent weeds.
1 Store the sweet potatoes in a root cellar or other place with a temperature of at least 55Â°F. 2  The ideal temperature range is 55Â° to 60Â°F. 3  The roots should last for about 6 months. 4  When removing the potatoes from storage, remember to be gentle; do not dig around or else you will bruise the potatoes. You can buy slips from garden centers, nurseries, or local farmers. 2  You can also grow your own slips to plant in the spring. 3  In November (this is when the best of the new harvest will be out), go to your supermarket and look for unblemished and uncracked medium sweet potatoes. 4  One potato should yield about 12 plants.
