Gary your channel is awesome I went from so nervous and not knowing anything to extremely confident and knowleable!! You have videos for everything!! Thank you!

[mysoutherngardeningjourney]

Easier way than growing slips: All you have to do is buy some sweet potatoes and let them sit at a warm room temperature for a month or two until they start to sprout. Then you can cut the potato in half or thirds, making sure there's at least one sprout per potato, or plant the whole potato. I got a HUGE harvest this past fall from about 20 tubers doing it this way.

I'm telling you I brought one potato made sure I got the one where it had good roots on the end I cut it in half planted water and about a month later as I'm watering I notice potatos starting to stick thru the dirt and I find three full fat potatos y'all should try it... I'm a farmer now 😂😂
