I'm 90 minutes North of Milwaukee and tried growing sweet potatoes for the first time this summer. I planted them in containers like yours and was told they should be dug up before the first frost. We're not expecting frost but I just couldn't wait any longer so today was the day. I'm so excited to tell you I have wonderful sweet potatoes and will plant them again next year!!!
The small ones are thebest eating
What an awesome crop of sweet potatoes. Zone 5 I’m impressed.
Look at them sweet potatoes! That looks so easy to grow sweet potatoes 💚
I managed to grow some small sweet potatos in Zone 4 last year, I started late though, so this year I started the slip process earlier and I may make a small little greenhouse with t-posts and vapour barrier around the planting area!
I gotta try this next year. Thanks for showing!! Enjoy your harvest!
Good harvest for Zone 5, thanks for the video.
That is impressive!!! Gives me hope to try some container gardening
I'm in the UK I believe it's zone 7 and next season I'm going to give sweet potatoes a try. Thanks for sharing another great video
All the best
Steve
Thanks!!
Killer harvest!
You did very well with your harvest. I grow them over here in Wisconsin too.
Thank you!
I'm trying them this year. Do you have a way that you cure them?
@@pamclemens8752 Ha! I just noticed that I said Wisconsin. I used to live in south east Wisconsin. Have lived in southern New Hampshire for the past 37 years.
As far as curing Sweet potatoes. I try to harvest them before any frost comes through. Try to lay them out in an area that will get decent heat to help dry out skins. Once they're, about 2 weeks. Move them where they get moderate moisture and in a cooler area. I try to keep them 50 degrees and above during winter storage. Also make sure to use up earlier any potatoes that got damaged during harvest.
I hope this helps. Thank you for asking.
Hi there
Good job have good day 👍👍🇺🇸
nice video you have made bro
Thank you!!
Nice looking taters! Not too shabby for Wisconsin. I may have to give some container sweet potatoes a shot next year. It will save space in the garden.
Catching up on your vids. Crazy few weeks. Hoping your move went well bub. 🙏
It has been crazy! We are starting to get settled in now. The next year or so is going to be very interesting indeed. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend 😊
It must be pretty sad to say goodbye to the Brew City Farm 1.0, but it's nice that you have a success on your last day! Look forward to BCG 2.0!
It's bitter sweet. It's not fun having to leave but I can't help but think of the opportunity that waits. If I play my cards right I could end up with something way better.
@@BrewCityGardener -- A lot of the houses in New Berlin were built on 2 1/2 to 5 acre lots back in the 50's -- my brother bought one when he moved out of West Allis. Keep New Berlin in mind when you are searching -- there are even some old farms still to be had.
@@PlanetMojo Absolutely! There's a farmhouse on a few acres near Caledonia for the right price that I have my eye on. Just have to convince the Mrs.. You know what they say, "Happy wife, happy life."
Lol,..it's the truth...
Cover the ground with black plastic it keeps soil warm
Dude that was a nice harvest of sweet taters ya got there. Good job done buddy!
Thanks!!
