Sweet potato's

A month and 2 days ago I planted my first sweet potato slips. It has been going great. I wasn't sure if they would grow since it has been getting colder and sweet potato's don't do so well in the cold. I put my trust and God and prayed (and continue too) that the potato's grow. I have been keeping a notebook of when I water, feed, put in the sun and all the above.Doing so as aloud me to see what I did that worked and didn't work. If your just starting out gardening like me that's a tip for you. I'm still learning as I continue on this path to be good at gardening. One thing that I noticed was tine little flying bugs around the plant. Any idea to what those might be and if so do you know what I can do to fix it? I'll love to hear what you'll are planting this winter so leave a comment.
