Last year was my first time growing sweet potatoes 🍠.
Followed your instructions ~ Beautiful results!
Thanks 😊👍❤️

I'm watching this getting ready for 2024 garden.

[LiveRegeneratively]

Hmong people hid sweet potatoes all over to avoid starvation during their decades of oppression. def. a survival food. The shoots are great for FPJ too. Great vid Nate!

[tonysmith]

I can’t wait to see your beard when you start eating green cabbage everyday! 😊😊 thanks for the video.

When I first started growing them, I purchased organic sweet potato slips because I knew I would be growing them year after year. Besides, I only "do" organic. I bought 2 kinds and after these years, the two have made a third kind! Too cool!

Commenting to help the algorithm. Much love from Los angles

Kalo/taro > Cassava > sweet potatoes.

Here in Hawai'i, kalo was and remains the ideal crop. Although sweet potato ('uala) was cultivated for the dry months, cassava far outperforms it in both ease of cultivation and caloric load.

For people in the tropics, these three crops will cover all your starch needs. And if you have the space, get yourself at least one breadfruit ('ulu) and banana/plantain tree and you'll have more more food than you can handle (ex: one fruiting breadfruit tree produces upwards of 100-150 lbs of fruit per season)

Cube them, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper Italian seasoning, garlic powder, then air fry 360 for 15. Drizzle with a thick Vinigarette or maple syrup or nothing. Divine!

Love that you show videos of how each stage looks. Thank you!

[MistressOP]

Okra and sweet poatoes are some of the best crops. You can use okra in cover crop blends. Then go out and grab some. Okra and Sweet Poatoes can be eaten whole thing from leaves to everything.

[cynthiaklug]

Thank you! This will be my first year growing sweet potatoes. Every year I include a new plant or two to grow. This year it’s sweet potatoes, ginger, and multicolored carrots. ❤

I used my old sweet potato to get some slips. I just pluck the little vine growing from the sweet potato that's been sitting around waiting to be cooked and put them in water. They grow roots pretty fast. Sometimes I just cut the part of the sweet potato with the little vine growing and plant them directly to the soil. They grow slow at first then vines overflow and crawl everywhere. 😂 They are good fried. I like to cut it 1/4 inch if you like soft and creamy sweet potato dessert or cut it thin if you like sweet potato chips. You can sprinkle sugar on top or cook the sugar with the sweet potato to make a caramel coating the sweet potato. Yum! 😊

[skittlezz]

Oh man, oh man, im so excited. I put my potatoes in, I think, a week ago using the soil method. I recently fell in love with the taste of sweet potatoes, probably because the prices for these tubers went up.😂 im tired of spending money on bags of sweet potatoes, so this year, im growing them by myself. Bring it on 2024. Thank you for this clip.❤

[jolee]

I like it! Everything I wanted to know, all the parts I wanted to see, and not terribly long. You got yourself a new subscriber with that one.

Good tip on burying the sweet potatoes. I used to start them exposed but they would get big bites from rodents (The slips would still grow though 😂). I grow mine in sacks and trellis them so I can harvest the greens. Also growing in sacks means easier harvest. Just cut the sacks open and voila. You can also let the vines trail on the ground and put soil on top and they will root quickly. Those starts with roots are more robust than those that have no roots yet when you put them in water.

I love the contractor bag method. Can't wait to try that

[roverinosnarkman]

Last year, I learned from a local farmer who purchased 5, 000 slips from a supplier, that you don’t need any roots on the slips (if you have moist soil). He used Covington sweet potato slips, so I’m not sure if it’s true for all. I tried it, just stuck about 20 cuttings into the ground. They looked droopy and terrible for about 10 days, then took off and grew like crazy. Try a few slips this next season and tell us if it worked for your varieties.

[catladynj]

Didn't know they can store so long. Thanks.

[smas]

I love when baking them they get a delicious char on the bottom.

Hey Dude . Good to hear from you. You have a good energy. You always get to the point. Teaching us how to get to business and growing our food. I am 71years old and use my time wisely. So thank you. I am going to plant my sweet potatoes in trash bags. Will let you know when it’s ready to eat 🎉.But first of all. I need to get my potatoes to grow slips to grow.
