- As a huge sweet potato fan, I attempted with today's video to give some context to how to harvest sweet potatoes, when to harvest sweet potatoes, and how to cure them.
Questions answered: When do I harvest sweet potatoes? How do I cure sweet potatoes? How do I market sweet potatoes? What if my sweet potatoes got frosted? Do I need to dig my sweet potatoes? Do I have to cure my sweet potatoes.

Love your direct information approach. Because you were so direct, I stuck around for the rest of the video and subscribed. Thanks for being straightforward!
me too!! 😁
I agree. Your delivery was on point. Gave me more info in 10 minutes than I've found searching for in months.
Yes! Me too!
I did that, too…lol
Me too...lol :)
Loved that you answered my question within two minutes, hit the like and then settled in for the rest of the video, happy it didn’t disappoint
🙌
Just subscribed great information thank you.
I did the same just because he did that at the start
Same here thanks for not stringing us along wasting time. I watched the whole thing and learned a few more things because of the intro. thanks
Ya so many CZcamsrs bait you along to hit certain time stamps for money.
I just pulled mine not really knowing when I should. Could have left them in for at least 2 more weeks. Oh well. First time grower. Now I know for next year. Thank You!
Thank you for getting down to business and not wasting anyone’s time!!!! I come here first for that reason and you share so much info!!! Thank you!!!!
Jeeez I appreciate your videos so much. They're purely informational and entertaining without lecturing or clickbait. Thanks as always!
This is my first year growing sweet potatoes. I'm glad I watched this video to know how to cure them. Thanks Dude!
Yeah, the tar thing! You're the first person to even mention it. I was surprised to find my hands and arms covered in spots of a tar-like substance yesterday. Thank you for normalizing sweet potato tar.
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
My first year growing sweet potatoes. Thanks for all the info!
Commenting because I really do appreciate how direct you are in your videos❤
Very helpful. Thank you. I especially love the tip about worm food 🤣. We had pigs for the first time this year and they also love sweet potatoes, so if you have pigs your can turn any bad ones into chops.
I cook sweet taters for my dogs, rabbits and box turtles! If only my cat would get on board.
Thanks for the Info mate. I like the way you deliver the content. Straight to the point and direct like others have commented below.
It's so heartening to see how much confidence you have now as opposed to the darker times of the video.
Thanks for all the really helpful information here. This is my first time growing sweet potatoes. The ones I could see and feel seemed kind of small so I decided to let them keep growing. Was worried I'd left them too long, so it's reassuring to know I can wait until frost. These are for home use, so the bigger the better. Curing them in cool dry weather is going to be a challenge.
Great vid. First time viewer of your channel but hit the subscribe button. No nonsense narrative with useful info. Happy harvesting friend.
I like your humor & style. "I know they're delicious they're sweet potatoes." 😄 The video was also educational, thanks! 👍🏼
Pretty quick & informative! I’m growing sweet potatoes for the first time, and I didn’t know there was such a thing as curing them for their flavor. Thank you!
Oh yeah! Makes all the difference. Best of luck !
you and I both, had a good store bought batch and thought....i'd like to eat that again :D
lucky for me i was able to sprout and transplant them successfully, I didn't however know that 3 plants would take up nearly 500 sq ft and continue to flower and wildly stretch out still in September.
Side note Jesse...we rarely frost here (mid CA) soo....what to do et? They prob have around 120+ days now. Tips started poking out of the ground an inch or two and was already at least 3" around and I slid my finger down its back and it went deep :D I covered them up with a thick layer of mulch to keep them out of the sun so they don't turn green.
Also is it mainly one per plant or maybe another couple smaller with a main stem? I'm hoping I get enough to keep for seed. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can eat cuz I keep finding food I like to grow and eat ... who knew?
GOOD LUCK Koen :D
Great timing with the vid BTW. Sweet setup you've got.
If you cure them for a couple of weeks they can be stored for 8 months. Might come in handy now that we have food shortages on the way.
@Klaa2 Stores around town are still running out of veggies.
@Klaa2 Not everyone grows or is able to grow their own food.
In London UK, by the time October comes there's nowhere outside that would be warm enough, so I put my (small) harvest of sweet potatoes in a plastic box like the one you had at the start, cover it with a constantly-damp towel and leave it in my sitting room or bedroom. I check and turn them gently every day or two for a couple of weeks until little wounds have crusted over. So far so successful!
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
I love this upload since you included the behind-the-scenes of your hard work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
refreshing to see the real struggle and technicalities that goes into bringing produce to market vs. to instagram feed.
Sweet potato info much appreciated. Thank you.
Excellent instruction on harvesting and curing sweet potatoes!
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
Thanks for the info I did not know about curing sweet potatoes for sweetness instead of a starch taste.
WOW! You hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD with your video. You answered every question I had. Even up to your last statement. I live in south Texas and ‘sometimes’ don’t get a freeze until February or March
Perfect!! Love your approach and honesty! Straight to it, but honest about knowing some just want the meat and potatoes! 😆 I stayed for the entire thing and watched your commercials! 😉 👍 ♥
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
I wish I could send u a picture of what I just dug up in a big pot of sweet potatoes, your video was very informative, I didn't know about curing and didn't know that sweet potatoes don't die back, I kept waiting for them to flower and die back so the potatoes were in the pot probably for a year before I dumped it over. Well as i said what I found were some small, medium and one that can only be described as a deformed monster at the bottom of the pot. Over a foot long and one end look like a brain with a foot attached. It was very weird, creepy looking.. thanks for the info
Hey this was great.
Thank you. This is why the world
Is awesome right now
Your videos are always funny and very informative. Thank you for making. God bless you and yours.😊

@@barbaracarter8384 Hello Barbara

Thanks Jesse! Great topic, great timing.
Thanks for the timely content. This is our first year for sweet potatoes. Purple ones! Time to start checking

Thank you for this, very helpful. I am looking into moving to portugal and starting homesteading and growing sweet potatoes and this video is very useful. Liked and subscribed
great info, can see your mind sifting through loads of information to present and deciding what is important. Subscribed like Arliss stated below...
Thank you, most informative.
What a super channel very informative…thank you stay blessed
This is awesome. I will be going at it in about 2 years. Got the land. Building home. Love your videos.
THANK YOU for getting to the point in the first 90 sec. You are my personal internet hero for the next 24 hours. I have clicked on all the ads as a thankyou :D :D
I didn't know about checking them at 110 days! Thanks! My first crop ever!
Fantastic information as always! Gonna give them a try next year. Thank you.
When you plant them for the first time give them their own space/bed and expect them to fill about 5' with greens per slip. It really becomes it's own jungle. Puerto Rico is supposed to be more bush type and less vine type.
You are very helpful and entertaining too
“… moderates, modulates..” pause, then gave a look. LOL! So relatable! Love your channel :)
Excellent video!
This is my first year growing sweet potatoes, so thank you for this lesson! I have to figure out how to best trap in heat in my system here in the PNW.
