- Danny loves sweet potatoes. So how many is too many? We have over 500 slips planted and we are still growing slips. Our friends at Hoss Tools sent 4 varieties that we wanted to grow. Beareguard, Covington, Georgia Jets and Murasaki. We also have planted Mr Al or Evangaline grown from slips at DSH and 2 varieties of white sweet potatoes grown from slips at DSH.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Goodness, this brought back memories! My first husband and I owned a feed store in Arkansas in the late '90's - and gardening season was a big deal - two long specially-built tables were brought out for seeds, and we would get seed potatoes, and both sweet potato slips and onion starts in bundles. We bought turnip seeds and purplehull peas in 50# bags - and sold most of what we had. Then, at one point, we had two pea-shellers operating - people would pick their peas early in the morning, bring them to the store, we'd shell them out, and they'd pick up their peas that afternoon - and we had a customer who sent her grandson by every evening before we closed to get the shells for their pigs!
Very interesting story. Thank you for sharing. 😊
According to Professor Doctor George Washington Carver, a body could get by on a diet of peanuts and sweet potatoes, and the peanuts would help regenerate the land devastated by King Cotton. He also taught people to eat their way back to health by using the “weeds” that grew anywhere. Yes, he taught them which weeds and how to eat them. IMO, he is one of our unsung heroes.
I agree. He did so many good things with peanuts and sweet potatoes that had been"lost". I studied. Him years ago. Wanda
You can never have TOO many sweet potatoes. I plant slips & vines every month in our year round climate here in the Philippines, so I can have a constant supply. I plant in 25 kilo rice bags and also in mounds in the ground. I see no difference in using slips or vines and also no difference in harvest quantity comparing mounds to bags.
How can I get the manual?
Same here I've thrown some sweet potato in a vacant lot, they sure love grow many vines that they did a good job in weed supersession and gave some sweet potato.
Good morning! I’m thinking you eat so many sweet potatoes that you shouldn’t stand in that loose dirt very long because you might start rooting in!😂
That's a good one! 😅
Good morning, I learned from this video. I am 74 and growing as much as I can on my 1/3 acre. I wish I had know 10 years ago what I know now, I would have bought more land and no HOA. I grew sweet potatoes in a grow bag last year with 6 slips from Lowe’s and got over 20 lbs. they were beautiful in that 30 gallon grow bag. Thank you for your wonderful videos.❤
Good morning Danny and Mrs. Wanda. I just wanted to let y'all know that I ordered some Black oil Sunflower seeds from Hoss tools and they sent a complementary package of Purple Plum Radish seeds. A couple of days later I got an email from Hoss tools saying my Sweet potato slips had been sent. I did not order them but today I received notice that they would be delivered today. I can't believe they're doing this, but I am grateful for their generosity. I love watching your videos. Keep up the Lords work. Have a blessed day!
Good morning Danny and Wanda. I so wish I had acreage, but have turned my small city backyard into a raised bed utopia! I love sweet potatoes also, and have a dedicated 4x4 raised bed for them, and boy, my slips are doing wonderfully. Soon. We still have one more night of possible freeze, so I am patient. If need be, I'll let the vines grow and stretch into the little patch of grass left! I do plant in the side yards too, and winter squash goes in the front flower bed, alongside the rhubarb. Have a blessed day you two.
Good morning.
I just placed an order for sweet potato slips from Hoss tools. I hope I’m not too late. 😬Mr Danny I love your stick. I’m going to have find one to plant my slips. Mr Danny and Ms Wanda your gardens are so beautiful.
Never too many. Could bless many people.
I just ordered sweet potatoes from Hoss Tools. Also a variety of seeds, etc. I’ve never grown sweet potatoes BUT, no worries, I have DANNYS Sweet Potato Manual. 😊
Roasted then freeze dried are a wonderful sweet snack.
I ordered our taters from Hoss. Thanks for the link and reminder. I have all your manuals and I'm getting to feeding these 10 kids of mine. 😊
Sweet potatoes are hard to lose. They just keep coming back in ground and in raised beds. I ain't complaining.
We started dehydrating ours for dog treats and all of our dogs and our neighbor's dogs absolutely love them.
I agree with you Mr. Danny, Hoss Tools is a good place to get seeds, slips and plugs, garden equipment and just about everything you need. Thanks for showing us the stick trick. That sure makes planting those slips easier on the back
cheers over my coffee cup this morning. I love how innovative Danny is with his stick.
Danny sounds like my beagle, Hazel Ruth, she loves her sweet potatoes too!!
The Cub Farmall working warms the heart !@
We had a 8x10 raised bed and we got a big wheel barrow full of sweet potatoes last year, once they grew and I couldn’t see the dirt in the bed anymore I never watered or fertilized them again. Planted some to make slips outside, up here in TN our weather isn’t consistent enough so I’m afraid it won’t be warm enough for them to come up in a while. Most of our temps right now range from 40s-70s. We don’t have a greenhouse. Praying they come up! Y’all have a blessed day!
This is my 1st year ever planting sweet potatoes. I am so excited.
I can't fathom eating that many sweet potatoes!?? WOW!??
Thanks for the heads up, Danny and Wanda! Just placed my order for slips through your Hoss link! Ohio!
I've been planting sweet potatoes now for three years and always had good luck my variety is Georgia Jets.
The price of sweet potato slips have definitely gone up from last year
So I had to shop around.
Sweet potato and apple dessert.
Boil sweet potato thinner slices 1/4" layer a thin slice of apple in between or on bottom. Add cinnamon and nutmeg sugar and butter like normal. Cover and bake at 350f for about an hour until smells heavenly.
Thank you Danny. I have been looking for a better place to order slips, as the other 2 I have used before the slips came all beat up and dead. Paid high price for them too. Just ordered mine from Hoss Tools to go with some I have saved from last year. Love sweet potatoes. Will be using my copper in the containers too.
Just ordered 75 slips. They don't grow here, like they do where you live. 1st time I grew them, they grew in tight basketball sized clumps. I had to break the potatoes to untangle, so I bottled them all. 2nd time, they grew more normal. Mine didn't produce near as heavy as if they were grown in the south and low tunnels were used to start and finish them. We had a very weird winter, and I still have a strip of snow in my front yard. Hope it's warm enough for them
I actually bought slips from hoss tools and there be here Saturday. Where I usually get them around here aren’t available until June 1st. So I figured to get a jump on them with the first planting. I use 10-10-10 seems to work for me here.
Now I know what’s wrong with my sweets, I don’t have that magic stick!! Well it sounds like a good reason? Lol
These days, you cannot grow too much of anything. With prices in the grocery stores being what they are and all of the uncertainty in our country these days you can never have too much food on hand or available in a garden. Blessings to you both and I'm looking forward to your live tomorrow night!
Good morning y’all. Have a blessed, wonderful day!
Love that stick that puts em in the ground. Yep, sweet potatoes rule.
My favorite are the Covingtons. I've regrown slips from them for several years.
Nice.
Planted my slips in 20 gallon containers a week ago praying that they are gonna do well this year . Thinking about getting some more. You are right gotta learn to grow my own food. Thank you for teaching us.
How many plants per container, please?
Got some sweet taters on the way from HOSS TOOLS , can't wait to try out for my first time , grow taters grow !! Thank you for all the info on growing taters , I will have to get your books , thanks for all the info that ya'll share .
I get my sweet potato slips from a local Amish store. Here in central Kentucky, they don't even sell them until the week after Memorial Day.
Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. Thanks for the reminder for not to over water those sweet potatoes! We have a ton of slips planted and will get more in the ground this weekend.
Good morning
hi danny & wanda 🤗
japanese sweet potatoes are my favorite (purple outside, cream inside). i have slips in a growbag and 15gal pot. they took a hit when i first planted them but i left them alone and now they're flourishing.
i have copper wire and bamboo sticks to try electroculture in my raised beds. looking forward to your sweet potato harvest and comparison with the tomatoes. tfs
It's still cold here in Massachusetts. Almost time to plant tomatoes. God bless your garden and your health.
We love the sweet potato manual. Wanda we have your cook book and we have tried your sweet potato casserole and love it. I'm a retired chef and it's out in the kitchen all the time for Rochelle and I to use. Your right Danny you can never have enough. We grow ours in 30 gal containers on our grow table. God Bless
The Forest Gump of Sweet Potatoes, you can fry, boil, bake, freeze, can, lol I LOVE it!
I'm always glad to see your videos come out! I always learn something! THANK YOU!
And "you know who"...can go "you know what"...LOL
Thank you Danny and Wanda for the video
Ordered my slips from Hoss in February. They didn't look as good as yours but I made myself a forked stick and got 'em planted about a week ago. Thanks for the tip on the stick. and thanks for your videos.
Good morning, love watching you both in the garden. Thank you for the heads-up on the fertilizer. Hope all have a good day.
Good morning
I agree you can never have too many sweet potatoes...you can always give them to friends and family. Thanks for the education on them. Good luck on your harvest and crops!!
Sweet potatoes are one of our most reliable crops here in south Florida. Thanks for the video and tips!
Totally agree! I have 3 beds going now. And rooting more vines. It’s one thing I discovered grow well here in SW FL. 👍
My friends grew sweet potatoes in sugar sand pine territory...couldn't hardly call it soil but they amended it like good dirty hippies.. they are great in Florida....just they can rot if they get swamped. Pine is high and dry
Thats a real real awesome problem to have. Anything extra I always can find a home for….😊❤️
Hello Danny and Wanda.
Those slips look very nice. You'll have a good harvest from these and ones you've started.
You can never have enough sweet potatoes.
Love that magic stick your using to plant those slips.
There are so many delicious ways to make sweet potatoes and will look for some of your videos on this.
I'll check out Hoss Tools and when I can hope to get your book too.
I'm growing as many sweet potatoes as I can and will can and do lots with them.
Thank you both for sharing your sweet potato planting and look forward to watching more of what your doing.
Rich blessings to you both.
Danny that’s a pretty slick idea that stick. Never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy you guys so VERY MUCH❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge. I ordered onions and seeds from Hoss Seeds this year.
Good morning DSH. Can’t wait to see your haul from these slips. Stay safe up there and keep on growing 🤠
Good morning
The things y'all can do with that beautiful Missipi sand. Makes us here in the Ouchitas envious. Hope you and miss Wanda have a blessed growing season.
I absolutely love Hoss tool . The quality is amazing and they have fantastic customer service.
I'm new to planting sweet potatoes and I'm using the information you give to help . Thanks so much and God bless y'all. Lots of love and prayers from Anna in Iowa
Nice looking patch and the Cub pulls through again. We are going to try some up here in zone 4-5 Nebraska (Planting after May 10th) . Going to make a stick...My back thanks me already...Good info as always. Have a Blessed day!
I'm zone 4/5 too. Upstate NY. I'm going to put slips in grow bags because way warmer that way. Hoping they can mature this way. Blessings to all of you.
This spring is the first time that I have viable sweet potatoes from last season. I was able to preserve them in my cellar and not only have some for slips but still good to eat. Definitely a good storable food .
❤❤❤ sweet potatoes your videos r so helpful 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You will love the Murasaki and the Georgia Jets. Hoss Tools is really high quality stuff. I look forward to seeing how they do for y'all.
According to my snails, there are never too many!!!
Cook them snails!
I have sweet potato slips coming from Hoss Tool in a few weeks for my area 😊
Good Morning DSH watching your videos everyday! Love them Thankyou
I've never grown sweet potatoes here in Northern Wisconsin but I tried Danny's method of burying the sweet potatoes to get slips and so far I counted 16 slips popping up in just a few weeks. I'm excited!
I get mine from Northwest seed and pet store. Did well for the first time last year.
I have always been well pleased with everything I’ve received from hoss tools!
Too many🤣🤣 - as if that would ever happen! Great video, Danny & Miss Wanda. 👍🏻 Thank you!
I was told it was frozen there yesterday morning.. Hope y'all are doing well..
I just put in another pecan tree and another apple tree on my 1/3 acre :) I’m gonna be planting this next week! I’m so excited ! Gonna grow as much as
I can !!!!
I already got my order in to Hoss Tools for mine.
Thanks for link to Hoss Tools! I wasn’t sure where to get slips from because I wasn’t able to get mine started.
So true about those purple sweet potatoes! I started with one organic two years ago and that was my first successful slip starting! I did leave some roots in ground last year and was hoping they might come back! But I also have a ton of slips already started!!! ❤ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I planted the first batch of my slips last week before the rain. I have some others growing up that will be ready soon I'll put down when the next good rain comes
I grow Covington variety every year (in Arkansas).. they store amazingly. Have some from last year’s harvest still, and no special storage technique. Just cure, wrap individually in newspaper and stack in a room temp box inside house.
I'll have to try that!
Slips ordered! 💚
Love them Hoss Tools. They are the best for southern growers.
Good Morning! I love sweet potatoes too 🥰. Right now I have Beauregard and Okinawan that I'm planting. Thinking about getting the Georgia Jets and the Muraski! Thanks for all y'all do! Many Blessings to you 💕
Try and find the Diane, sweet and creamy.
When i get home we are going to set out our tomatoes. I started seeds indoors we have to set them out soon. We set out 12 sweet patato slips this year. We are planning for more veggies to go in.
I got my copper ordered to do the experiment you showed with the insulated/ plastic poles.
Another good video...interesting and informative. Thank you Danny and Wanda...Mrs.Steve
I love Hoss tools! 💚
Hello deep south! I love seeing Wanda can yummies! I have relocated from Idaho farmland to Texas farmland last year,! I'm in the process of settling. I have sheep, goats .. meat and milking, pigs and more! I ordered 300 slips from Hoss today! How many pounds do y'all think I'll harvest. I use them the farm house to feeding my pigs to guard dogs feed.
Love the Cubby, reminds me of my grandfather..
I don't have room for Vining sweet potatoes so I bought Porta Rican sweet potatoes which are supposed to be the sweetest you can get. I do know I love them but I won't plant more than a dozen in eighteen gallon tubs. Would love to be able to plant more and I am happy you and Wanda are so blessed and can plant so much. Thanks for the tip about cutting off the bottom inch. I be planting the first week of June and I will be sure to do that.
As always, great information about growing food. I sighed relief when I saw you're just planting the sweet taters. I thought I was late. Whew!
Hope ya have a great harvest!
I get my slips from a different plant farm, they have a wide range of varieties. This year I got a few slips of seven varieties: Beauregard, Georgia Jet, Diane, Redmar, Heart of Gold, Okinawan, and Yellow Jewel. I know the Georgia Jet and Diane do well in my soil. I am trying the others to see how well they do. I also planted some volunteer vines I have growing beside my pump shed. Ten years ago I had a garden on that side of my home and the squirrels "planted" small potatoes all over my yard. I had some varieties that just made small potatoes and lots of vines so that may be what these are. I will see.
Good day from Kamakura, Japan 🇯🇵! Maybe what you’re thinking of is Murasaki (purple). 🤩🐶👍🏾
Yes that is it. Thank you
@@DeepSouthHomestead You’re welcome! 🤩🐶👍🏾
New to growing Sw.Potatoes. Got some @grocery in late summer to make slips. Baked only one, thank God. Went mushy in 2.wks instead of shriveling as usual. Other produce-celery dissolved into watery mush too !! Disease ☢️ or very bad hydroponics, sigh. Time to grow your own or $tarve .. Thrilled to see Hoss $lips being worth the extra. Bought a dbl set just for the healthy genetics. Was wondering how I'd find that & there ya'll were ... 🍒💌👌
Good morning DSH and CD!
Morning
I got Georgia Jet, Beauregard and Covington from Hoss in 2018 and they did fairly well for as poor as my heavy clay soil, and short growing season allowed. No fertilizer either. Covington did the best
Oops I lied. Just looked back at it and it was 2020 not 2018 and I didn't get Covington it was Vardaman that did so good. Glad I had already ordered this year's supply before your video came out, in fact I got the email yesterday that they have shipped!
Thank you for teaching me one more thing. I'm definitely going to go out in the woods behind my house and find myself a sweet potato planting stick. 👍
Miss Wanda ➖if you were filming the tractor at the beginning of the video you did an awesome job!
🙏👍🌻
I was Thanks.
We live in the middle of sweet potato farmland in Louisiana. We would love to grow them ourselves, but we purchase ours from local farmers. We freeze baked sweet potatoes and can sweet potatoes. Love the channel God Bless
What is freeze bake ?
@@lms3847 we bake the sweet potatoes completely done, cool them and wrap them with aluminum foil and freeze them.
@@havebiblewillread That is awesome did not know you could do that !
@@lms3847 yes ma'am. Then warm them up in the microwave. We take a day and do about 100 of them.
Hoss tools has awesome products and customer service!!
Nice Job . I hope to get mine about middle of May.
I got some of the Japanese variety last year. They had very lush vines and leaves and I didn’t get a single potato from them. I only planted one row of them. The other 3 rows of other varieties did great.
Thanks for video have an awesome weekend Mr.Danny n Ms.Wanda
I got some slips from hoss. Those things looked plumb sorry when they arrived. I planted them anyway. Everyone of them lived and they look great right now. So don't be too discouraged if they don't look like a fresh cut bouquet when you get them.
Love me some hoss tools
Stokes County Purple Sweet Potato .. developed in Stokes Co. North Carolina to replace the tobacco crop. I've been growing them for several years .. I currently have about 8 varieties .. great survival crop .. everyone should be growing sweet potatoes.
I totally agree about growing your own food. I don't think we've seen nothing yet and I think this is going to be worse than the Carter years.
I just used an old (about 6 years or more) bag of dry blackeyed peas as garden seeds. I tested a few and they sprouted. Much cheaper than buying extremely expensive "seeds" online that came from the same place. Having trouble this year with okra and green beans due to cold temperatures in Louisiana. I had a limited amount of seeds and sprouting problems and should have soaked them to give them a boost. But I didn`t expect cold weather this time of year. I didn`t expect the below zero wind chill that killed my Winter garden either.
@BAN EVERYTHING! Same here coastal Alabama
Mr. Danny and others warned us about the upcoming Grand Solar Minimum 5+ years ago! All about extreme weather.
@@ms-ri6rg I had to run the heater yesterday. I have chronic pain and temperatures in the mid 60s starts bothering me.
Wow those look great. I ordered mine from another company and was pretty disappointed at their appearance upon arrival. I'll do Hoss next season
Love you two
I grew several hundred pounds last year for me and my wife....and our feeder pig. LOL The pig ate most of them. I grow lots of Irish potatoes too, and feed the excess to a feeder pig. They like the sweet potato vines too.
