I just dug our first real plot of sweeet potatoes. I planted 15 slips. I filled four, 5 gallon buckets. Our biggest tater weighed in a 4 lb 10 oz.
Thanks awesome I am going to grow mine in these heavy duty potatoe grow bag that I found on Amazon 10 gallon bags they come with 4 bags per pack and I got them in 3 gallon 6 pack and 5 gallon 6 pack
I know this was years ago, but HAVE YOU EVER TRIED GROWING SWEET POTATO IN A PILE OF OLD STRAW? I'd love to know if it works. You'd have to put a temp fence against the chickens/foul but might be worth it. Last year I put in red and yellow potato, on top of loose dirt, under a bunch of straw and had a MASSIVE row of plants. Chickens got in and ate the plants way before I wanted, but I STILL HAD A CROP! Always going to do that from now on :) minus the chickens getting in. Not tried it with Sweet Potato yet, but sure going to!
@@WriteSign I’ve got 2 sweet potatoes growing slips & Im in zone 5b-se WI. I’m a newbie @ these. Any tips I’d appreciate:)
@Coleen I wouldn't plant them out until after mother's day. I'm in PA on the line of 5A. Loosen up the dirt and pile it up making a mound. This gives the potatoes easier expansion. They like it warm where as the Kennebec potatoes we plant on good Friday. We always planted all roots after good Friday, except sweet potatoes, and other plants after mother's day. Idk about you, but our last frost is usually sometime in the first 2 weeks of May.
Fantastic!!
One year my son ran a leaf removal business. I let him dump his leaves on my garden. The following spring we had lots of leaves still. I just raked back the leaves and laid the potato slips on top of the ground and recovered them with leaves. They grew just fine and all the potatoes were on top of the soil when the vines died back and it was time to harvest. I live in Arkansas where we have plenty of heat and humidity.
Since I live in Florida, I grow everything in raised beds. Unfortunately I'm the only one in the house that eats sweet potatoes. Cool thing I learned is that I can grow sweet potatoes in my tomato bed.
Growing up in Hawaii we always ate the sweet potato green. I love it as a salad. I would poor hot water over the leaves in a strainer. Allow it to cool, then I would dice 1 or 2 tomatoes and mix. Season with salt and grated ginger.
Hello Patti how are you doing
they must be well cooked or they are toxic, have way too much oxalates... Not sure pouring hot water is enough, need to be sauted
I live about 60-80 miles from the self proclaimed sweet potato capitol of the world in Vardaman, MS and I aint never heard of curing them. Probly just happens by the time you buy them cause its usually 100 degrees with 100% humidity here in summer. Love you man.
I was torn between growing mine in a mound or raised bed. I'm convinced raised beds make for straighter produce. Thank you from my heart for showing all of us the difference.
Good morning, my grandparents used to raise sweet potatoes. I noticed that you still had the plant attached when you dug the potatoes. They removed the greens three - five days prior to digging and left the potatoes in the ground. At the end of that timeframe, they dug the potatoes; sweet as sugar. No added curing needed. They stored them in crates and bins in the potato house.
Would they water the bed after pulling the tops to make it humid????
This sounds like a good idea.
greenlawanda1 thanks so much for posting this info. I was not looking forward to having to find those optimum conditions for curing as described in Doug's video. We will plant these for the first time next year.
Thank you for the excellent tip!
+1 to this.
We take the tops and then harvest a week later and we do not bother curing as they are sweet as.
I spent 18 mins watching a guy harvest sweet potatoes and loved it! lol in 50 years I never heard of eating the sweet potato greens - I learn something new every Doug and Stacy video I watch.
Nice video. I cure my sweet potatoes by putting them in closed boxes (with a cup of water) in my car. They were super sweet last year.
How long did you leave them in your car?
Hi Doug and Stacy, enjoyed this video about growing sweet potatoes. The first time I grew my sweet potatoes
I grew purple sweet potatoes and grew them in a burlap sack. I folded the sacks in half, filled with composted loose soil and placed on top of the ground. The burlap sack gave the roots lots of air and good water drainage.When it was time to harvest the burlap sacks were rotted and ready to compost....and I did not have to dig to get the potatoes. This year I am going to grow them in a similar but easier model. I will fill a burlap sack 1/2 full of composted soil the fill the rest of bag with hay and let that compost for a little while. When it is time to plant I will simply move back some of the hay and drop the seedling into the hay, and cover with hay. As the hay rots during the season I can add a little more hay. When time to harvest I will pull back the hay and find the potatoes. NO DIG POTATOES makes gardening a little easier for this old gal. lol.
I learned from you guys about slips and tried that but only had 3 of them, and planted in 18 gal totes tall ones, and just today harvested 2 pounds, but most were small.
I think small because I planted real late, we had late freeze & strange weather but for my first time ever I’m very pleased and excited to try next year again I’m in Springfield, Mo.
Thanks for teaching me all these garden tips. My potato’s were real deep in the totes but some were right at top of soil. There was also a layer of roots at bottom like root cake lol
Fascinating, sweet potatoes take some time, I never knew how delicate and how much work to get them started & grow! Gosh, the work our forefathers had to do!
Hello Monika how are you doing today?
You can tell who watched the whole thing! Thanks Doug. You had a very nice harvest in the raised bed. We just finished digging our 3 rd garden of sweet potatoes and looking forward to the last garden. Sweet potatoes are a "Superfood" .
So is broccoli and blueberries. So really a garden is far better than processed foods. I look forward to planting but the animals ( wildlife) get more than I do. LOL
Or just commented or asked a question before the video finished but still watched the whole thing like I did. The end did not reveal the answer to my question.
Doug, I love you, Man! Everything about you and Stacy, what you say, do, dress. Just Fantastic! You motivated my to Seize the Day, with that one wintry video about Taking Action on Homesteading Dreams. I am now making money as a farmer, getting educated and one step closer. You/your video was one of the many straws that broke my procrastination back and I am so grateful. Going from delivering pizza in a miserable big city to Farming on an organic grass-fed Dairy farm outside a smaller big city and moving closer. Thank You! Bryan
Wow!! That is excellent!! Congratulations
Just seeing the video and your comment,3 years after you typed it lol. I pray that you/your farm have grown into everything and more that you wanted,dreamed it would be. God bless.
Lavette McFeeters Agee with Lavette. May God RICHLY bless you in your endeavors. You are living the life that many only dream of so dream big for all of us that are on the sideline.
Bryan M : Congratulations! I hope you and your family are still thriving.
Let us know! How's life on the Homestead?
Chicken comes out at 6:08... Sees Farmer Doug and makes a run for it. Hilarious!
Your channel is so practical, so real. I’ve loved it for years.
Nice Harvest Doug. I liked that you tried both methods. I bet the raised beds did better for a few reasons - the soil likely remained warmer and the soil was less compact. Sweet potatoes love both conditions very much, as you know. The third being water, of course. I enjoyed your easy, laid back approach and found myself relaxed while watching. I'll be tuning in for future episodes - glad I found your channel!
I’ve grown sweet potatoes for years and they are sweet. I’ve had purple skin sweet potato, sweet potato yam which candies as it roasts and NZ kumara. I’ve never had to “cure” them
We really enjoy your videos. You’ve inspired us to built raised vegetables garden boxes. We have planted a variety of vegetables and will enjoy them this summer in California. Everything’s organically raised and grown with love. My wife family’s from Missouri and gardening‘ s in her blood. Her father always had a garden and he enjoyed growing flowers also. So in his remembrance she has planted WILD FLOWERS , plus edible ones too. Maybe you’ll be near Nixa or Springfield MO sometime where her family lives. Her Mom who turns 85 this October always plants a small garden each year too. Plus, Momma Pride makes the best pies in Nixa.
when you grow I raised beds you have less competition with weeds and you have denser nutrients for your vegetables to thrive . love raised beds
Come harvest time if you take several cuttings and put in a pot or 2 for indoor plant through the winter . You will have a nice way to make slips in the spring . I have one that I have been reclonning for over 10 years now . The potatoes come out just as nice as they did 10+ years ago , and I never had to buy any startup slips in the spring .
Awesome. Thanks for the tip. Been thinking about that
Did you know that the the sweet potatoes greens can be cooked up as well. They are clocked full of vitamins. Mix them with spinach and callard greens. Good eatting. Nice harvest.
Hi Pam Jones..
I like my sweet potatoes greens cooked stir fried with some dried anchovies and red chilies....the taste is Ummmpphh!!😆
Personally, I throw them in my green smoothies all the time and they taste great! I actually trellis my sweet potato green to make harvesting greens for smoothies easier (and keeps the slugs off of them, reduce the possibility of rat lungworm here in Hawaii)
Yes... good iron source...
In Asia, we would saute them in garlic, a little soy sauce and a little apple cider vinegar and it is delish!! We would eat it with steaming white rice and some kind of meat or fish, usually fried!
@@chiefchick i miss the many recipes we took for granted when we lived in Asia. We lived in The Philippines, Okinawa, Japan, Korea, and mainland China. So many great foods, with flavors out of this world. Well, out of this country anyway. LOL
So far this year I haven't been able to garden. I find the site of a fresh harvest to be one of the most gratifying. When gardening I always plant extra some for seniors that could use a helping hand. Then enough to sale to our local grocery store. This pays for the seed and supplies so the only thing is my time is not covered. So we actually eat almost for free. I have been gardening for over thirty years and have found raised beds are great for potato, carrot,parsnip, most root vegetables that you want a uniform size. It took me forever to get my carrots right. But now they grow like crazy. my garden consist of close to two acres, so there's plenty of room. Last year, I filled three freezers and canned 367 quarts and 72 pints of vegetables and fruit. Which has carried us for the year so far. I plan on 1098 meals per year so this is only a portion of what we use...Stacey for your listener's you can can sweet breads example, blueberry,lemon,fruit bread,sweet potato bread in pint (wide mouth) jars. These are good for one year and make a great breakfast addition to meals. Or for gifts. If interested let me know and I'll send the information. Y'all are doing great work. Sincerely, Brenda
Stacy, I would love to see you do that. The canning of the sweet bread.
I am super excited that you are going to be doing another webinar with Paul and the All American Sun Oven! I am looking forward to using this cooking method some day!
hey Doug, I subscribe to another channel from Ireland where they lay out seed potatoes and then cover them with straw and no dirt.. their crop does excellent, maybe that's something to try with sweet potatoes.
The raise beds are also beautiful pot plants. They are more organized and stunning.
Love the raise bed gardening concept. Beautiful scenery and truly organic products.
GOD bless you and your beautiful family abundantly too.
Plenty of humidity here in the rainforest to cure sweet potatoes. TY, Doug, for posting. It's five years hence.
Just found out that sweet potato leaves, stems and roots are amazingly nutritious. It's suspected they can even heal diabetes.
Do you use raw as salad or freeze dry or dehydrate for soups?
@@libbybond2525 I hope they reply to your question.
You need a potato fork, they are designed with much wider tines to help avoid spearing the spuds. Love sweet potatoes!
Watching this again. Last year my potatoes were small. Soil to tight so I hope to try new stuff.
I am getting my sweet potato slips started this weekend as well as starting my red potato’s , had a friend give me seeds from their asparagus plants 😁 getting those planted for years ahead. God bless you ,Doug and Stacy for encouraging people to just try
It's January 2 years later and -18 degrees outside, and here I am. Lovin' some Doug and Stacy harvest videos while the snow is up above my muckboots! Hugs, guys. Stay warm!
January is when I start my sweet potato slips.
It's easier to work with a higher raised bed garden as you grow older. It is easier on your back.
We've been raising our grass fed beef for three years now and I've never felt happier. I love raising my own food.
I Just Love Pulling the Sweet Potatoes! .It's Like Big Easter Egg Hunt !!. This Year I Got one that weighed 4.5 lbs, It looked like a Large sweet potato with one Wrapped around it..
How you grow it to be that large?
Here from Texas. I appreciate the comparison with visuals because I was really questioning what would be best as far as the ground or raised bed.
I ran red potatoes in bags. Also tried a small box and they did well. This will be my first time growing sweet potatoes 🥰🙌🏼
While I was watching you digging up the sweet potatoes I notice the roaster coming through the fence acting like oh no he's near by, I better hurry up and sneek pass before he catches me being out of the yard!
Beautiful Tators there, Doug! Our weather is hot and humid here in Ohio too. Can't wait to get the Sun Oven and show my kids how it works! It must be MAGICAL to cook in! Take care !
Another Ohioan here 😎
Moving back to the country at 73.Im in a wheelchair after a carwreck but the raised bed is doable .Love the raised bed and even handi cap of not walking will not stop me from rolling and growing .God bless america and Doug and Stacy teaching.
I just harvest my raise bed and I’m trill!! First timer 🤗 I’m hook. Love your video
Hi, new to your channel! Enjoyed watching this video. Glad to hear that you mentioned you can eat the leaves. I actually dehydrate them with other leafy greens, grind them in a coffee grinder and put them in my smoothies. Great way to get your greens everyday!
Love this idea!
Subbed and saw you on FSS. Used to raise 2calves a year. One from the fall and one started in the spring. Don't eat many more meats. We live in Houston Texas. Thanks for the info on the sweet potatoes. Never knew. Love your attitude of gratitude and your house!
Here in NZ we add sand to the soil in the cooler areas and wait for the leaves to change colour for these and spuds/potatoes. We call ours.. kumara. A very loved food here. Also never ate the greens. Will be know. Ever made a kumara bake? Yummy!
that just seals it, next yr in my raised beds I'm gonna grow my sweet potato's , yours clearly seemed to like it... Thank you Doug
I have done well raising both pototoes and sweet potatoes using a garbage can for a container. Harvesting is easy as all you have to do is dump the can over..... Make sure you have drainage holes at the bottom and some kind of mesh over the holes to keep the soil in.....
Are you using a trash can like you'd have inside, or a full-sized one like you'd put out on the curb?
Full sized just like on the curb gives me a lot of them... and very easy to harvest as all I have to do is dump it over.
thats a cool idea. ima have to try that.
You can stack old car tires also, I cut most of the sidewall and bead off both sides and stack and fill them as the plants grow.
This sounds great but I would worry about the plastic leaching bpa, etc. Some other folks on youtube use large used food-grade containers to plant crops.
Glad I came to this old video to pick up that curing tip. Thank you guys for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
interesting to see! my grandma planted some sweet potatoes in a flowerbed. she plants random stuff in there. There's a rain tree, periwinkles, various other things. the bed is made up of sand, soil, rock, etc... the potatoes just about took over for a while and they were beautiful.
Amazing Thank you for sharing. It remind me when i was a littler girl with my grandparents in their farm. Beautiful home with beautiful land. I enjoy your tutorial good teacher.. 👍😊
Over 3 years old video, doesn't matter, I can always learn something. I cringe thinking if I were you and stuck my hand inside all those leaves, I'd get snake bit. I'd lose it right there. I'd be doing all sorts of North American native dances (unintentionally), cause a lightning storm and pee in my pants before running into a stationary object and knocking myself out.
We put sawdust and sand in with soil it loosens the soil for growth, smiles
Eddie I try to avoid pine and cedar as they don’t propagate the beneficial bacteria as well as other...
@@One-way If it is saw dust it will break down really fast and attract worms and it will be safe. If they don't totally plant in total saw dust or mix way too much/per soil. But i agree i wouldn't mix wood in the soil. Put the wood on top but do not mix with soil, then after it degrades it will be soil, the kind of soil the worms and beneficial microbes and fungi love, and it will also be a light non compacting soil. You just have to be patient, and layer the wood chips and dust now, so in 2 to 3 years you will have beautiful soil for anything you want.
Good ideal for a fast fix. But for years ahead plan ahead now, and make some homemade compost, IN PLACE. A good compost will grow perfect stuff, it is easy just layer wood chips, leaves, yard debris, saw dust, etc... in the area where you will have a future garden, layer it all out in the whole area as thick as you can get. If you could layer like 1 ft or even more each year the first couple years, then you could cut back some the third year if you wanted to like 6 inches per year, but not required, you can layer more if you have it and wanted to, it will only make it better. Then in just a few years that garden will be very rich and grow stuff without fertilizer for years and years, continuously if you keep adding more wood. You can also add crushed rock mushroom spores, and you can add other things but the main ingredient is wood.
Don't mix the wood chips and debris in with soil, just layer each year, and you can safely grow in the soil where you are layering at the same time. Never till the soil you won't need to, after a few years that soil will be light weight non compacting, and full of microbes, worms, etc... Any mixing will destroy the process and also harm your plants, current and future plants.
They call it "Back to Eden"
Looking forward to growing some this year! Thank you for this demo! I think I’ll opt for the raised bed after watching this! 🌵🌱😀
Thanks, Doug, for this excellent video. We've made raised beds using long wooden pallets that are the same length, one stacked atop the other. We filled these up with compost and they work great. Next spring I will make a new one just for sweet potatoes.
Not only do I like sweet potatoes, and the ferment that Stacy did with them, I love the greens as well, It makes for a whole season worth of fresh veg's.
Hi, I'm not an offgrid person or anything, but I still enjoy your videos. Great recipes, great info and I like your sense of humor ;-)
living vicariously through these two as well? :)
Same here. I don't EVEN want to live like that and I've done my time living in the Missouri countryside without electricity and running water. Just the thought of doing this again used to make me shudder but these two are fun to watch and make the lifestyle seem pretty great. I'm also digging the recipes and I am JUST NOW making that sweet potato flatbread that Stacy showed on one of her videos.
You're all gonna starve when the sh!t hits the fan.
Amish folk will survive.
Well boris, I'm not a fighter. If SHTF I'm just gonna walk into the ocean tbh lol
6:05 Chicken really stole the show. Kids made me rewind about 10 times
Gorgeous! So inspiring. Looking at some properties this weekend and will grow in raised beds!
good speaking voice,&clearly understanding to hear , great video thanks
I'm sold on your raised beds. Those sweet potatoes from it look amazing !
Got about 3 weeks before I start my slips. Always good to watch a refresher video.
Wow! Another lesson, and preparation ideas for this year’s planting!
If you have too much sweet potato tops to cook up & use, your pigs will thank you for the tops or you can put them back into the compost bin to recycle them. Also if you hate getting the dirt under your nails when digging potatoes just put bar soap under them first.
I bet the chickens would like them too
It’s the moisture and loose soil. I grow Georgia Jets they are a 90 day potato and get huge. I don’t have raised beds but I combat that with black garbage bags cut to 6ft in length and put it over my mound. Then just cut holes for my slips. This way the rain doesn’t compact the soil as easy and all that does get in stays in.
So encouraged to start growing these in my old strawberry raised beds.. thank you all for tips!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching information on how to grow 🍠.
Thanks for this info. Have grown sweet potatoes in mounds before but never raised beds. Might be worth it - yours look really good. No strumstick, but did notice a "drumstick" walk behind you while you were tilling the mound garden! :)
This is good to know. Will be raising them that way this year. and will definitely make some of Stacy's sweet potato flat bread.
Your link to the all American stove is not working properly.
This made up my mind! Definitely giving an entire raised bed in my garden to sweet potatoes. I am doing the Ruth Stout method with regular potatoes. I love love learning new ways!
I learned a lot on this video.From Ontario Canada.We want to grow swear potates next year.I wish I could afford one of those SUN OVENs .In Canada it would cost over $1,098.00 ,Our money is not doing as well as yours.God be with you and Stacey .You have a informative and helpful Channel. And You have a good sense of humor too.
hey Doug,
My wife and i grew our fist batch of spuds last year and were amazed at how delicious they were, even better than the organic ones at the farmers market. With potatoes you wait till the leaves die off and let them cure. My question is: How do you know when to harvest sweet potatoes? Is there a tell tale sign?
Thanks
The same , when the leaves are drying
Yum!! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you both for Caring for all of us
Thank you Doug and Tracy I love the video that shows you have a prep your flower and your beans and nuts thank you for the information you give
We are spoiled with our own sweet potatoes great video thanks
Loved your harvest in grow boxes. Do you have a video for starting sweet potatoes? Thank you. I do enjoy your channel.
Hello Desert how are you doing?
Wow! Your raised bed sweets are so much better. Awesome. Really informative video you did on building a raised bed.
Beautiful harvest from the raised beds. Good job!
That was an excellent experiment.Very informative. Could you show where and how you cure your sweet potatoes?
A neighbor lady in her 80's across the street from me used to always have 2 or more very long high mounds, billed pretty high. She just have lived in them. Hills were probably 40' or more and 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall
Beautiful sweet potatoes! Great share of your harvest! Thank you for sharing!
Such a beautiful homestead. Thanks for being a good example.
Hi Doug & Stacy, love your homestead! How deep is the soil for sweet potatoes? What mixture did you use in the raised bed? Thanks!
Fantastic. You never fail to deliver I ALWAYS learn something when I watch your channel. Always. This one was super great. Thanks.
no it was not a hint at all, you're too funny - I'm not in the least worried about when you send the chopper - I just wanted to be sure that the cash got there ok...heck you could send the chopper next year and it would be okay with me...lol - but you never fail to deliver a great message and education to your subs and I LOVE what you do I grow sweet potatoes and never knew about the chill out time for them to get the sugars together - hey if you plant a section of the greens and they take root does that too produce fruit or only if they are from slips...??? I have Okinawan sweet potatoes growing in a big pot can i make more plants by growing the greens like you would strawberry plants, get them growing from the main plant by pinning them to the ground and once rooted then cut them free will i get more sweet potato or just more greens and no worries about the chopper...I never fail to laugh at your dry sense of humor...too funny
Just now seeing this video, April 2021, and glad to say that the coupon code for the Sun Oven still works. thanks for the savings.
6 years ago?? I don’t know how I just recently found your wealth of knowledge. Thank you for being a blessing!
I just LOVE your little cabin with the container gardening and the little stones in the front yard. How long did it take for you to build your little place? How much did it cost?
I was wondering how often did you water the sweet potatoes in a raised bed, I'm growing mine in a raised bed as well as containers.. this is my first time growing sweet potatoes and I don't want to have a bad crop do you have any suggestions... I'm in zone 7B thanks so much for your help
Oh my gosh I love you guys. You seem like people I would love to hang out with.
Looks like raised bed gardening is the best way to go, at least for me, and the results from what I've seen appear better than planting the more traditional way. Thank you so much Doug for the tips and sharing the results of your experiment! :) Will definitely be looking into a Sun Oven, thinking it'll come in handy in more ways than just ease of use...
This man talks just like my Dad´s old friend Harry! Sort of the same voice! But with no swearing. Harry uses some strong words, every now and then, but he is a very soft person, actually. :-)
Thanks Doug...Great vid...We have never grown sweet potatoes but we love them...Love the info so we can grow our own...Never see slips available in our area...Do you have a good source for ordering them? I was also curious how you provide running water?
thanks Doug...shoulda woulda coulda looked harder I guess...lol
Wow what a difference in the shape and size of your Sweet Potatoes. That is awesome. God Bless Y'all.
I have been watching your videos for a while. You got me with this video because you are younger than the ones I have been watching.
Do you have a well? I’m catching up on your videos since I’m a new subscriber. Thanks to you both!
Rain water collected off roofs.
I am learning so much from the 2 of you. Have my sweet potato suspended in water to root and get my starts.
Can't wait for that harvest.
+Miranda Bartlett AWESOME!!
Thanks, Doug!! Great video! You always have such wonderful advice and tips. I love watching your channel.
Dude, love your show. Anyone ever tell ya, your voice sounds just like Vince Vaughn!! 😅
Did u harvest after d plants grew 3 ft tall? That's what I learned. Also when d leaves start to brown. I noticed u harvested while d leaves were lush green. Thanku
Good to know/see the comparison. Thanks. I love sweet potatoes.
This will be our first year growing sweet potatoes, so exciting!
Loved the comparison. Not too many folks have the time to do their own comparison, so leveraging experience from others is quite helpful. Plus, I know that you are giving it to us straight! Any chance that you guys will do a video on how you prepare your garden areas for next year? Very curious about what I can do this fall and winter to get our garden area prepared for next spring.
Excellent!
