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!

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!
@@DebRoo11 Yes they do! If you read my comment, I proved that. I bought an orange (solid orange inside and out) and a purple (solid purple inside & out), for the life of me, I can't remember the names of them, it is clear that they cross pollinated and created a rosy colored sweet potato (solid rosy inside and out).
@@DebRoo11 I love them! Started w/organic slips and kept them organic over the years. The taste is wonderful and they store well. The bonus is that "I" created a brand new sweet potato! haha Isn't nature wonderful when you work with it, not against it?
@@DebRoo11 It doesn't look like my 1st response showed up here. Forgive me if this is a repeat....I love them. The taste is wonderful and they store until the next season. What's even better is that "I" created a brand new sweet potato! haha Isn't nature wonderful when you work with it and not against it?
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!
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)
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.
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! 😊
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.❤
yes my friend and the quality and flavor of homegrown sweet potatoes is far superior to anything from the store!!!... be sure to grow many more slips than you think you'll need so you can choose the best ones!!
Same same 😅 i call it my defiance garden this year. Sick and tired of fruits and veg being so expensive like produce is a luxury now or something. Filled my back yard full of new garden beds for 2024. Only growing what I like to eat. Not 20 types of tomatoes for fun. It will.still be fun I'm sure but vegetable gardening has a new seriousness to it this year
Small technicality: Sweet potatoes are considered storage roots, not tubers, like potatoes. They are usually trouble-free (if you can keep the animals away) easy to grow, and pound for pound, probably the easiest, most useful survival food there is, with superb storage qualities.
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. ❤
make sure the sweet potatoes have very mild (not rich) soil.... and make sure the ginger has extremely rich soil its the hungriest plant in the garden!!
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.
thank you for the positive energy my friend!!... the sweet potatoes will grow great in the bag method but be sure to place at least 3 slips into each bag.... even 4 slips if the bag is nice and full..
@@gardenlikeaviking In the video you said keep the bag shaded. Can sweet potatoes can grow without direct sunlight? I am trying to grow some in an apartment, but I have some doubts whether it will work.
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.
Hello from Vienna, I bought violet sweet potatoes from an Asian shop and I used them as decorative plants on my windows boards. I didn’t know how to multiply them… 🤦🏻♀️ But thanks to you, next time I’ll try💖
I'm trying a grocery store "yam" I had leftover from Thanksgiving dinner. First try at sweet potatoes. I started it under a light with a heat mat around the 1st of the year which I know now was way too early. It's in the window now (hoping to slow it down a little - didn't work) and it's insane! It's blocking out half the window! It's an ideal houseplant, it's beautiful! There's 10 or 12 slips on it like 3/8" in diameter and 20" long already. I think I'm gonna trim it back a little and try eating the greens. I'll root some slips off it in a month or so. My plan is to do the black trash bags with them around the 1st of June. I've got some stinky JLF I made last summer to fertilize them with. I think I'll also try a couple of the purple varieties when the slips become available from Baker Creek. Thanks for the video and all the info Nate, always a treat!
I will be absolutely be growing my own sweet potatoes. They are nutritious but grocery store prices are out of control for them. This video was great and looks easy to do. I'm a newbie vegetable grower.
First thing that came to mind- I like his voice 😂 But also- thank you. I put some slips I bought from the store into my clay soil not knowing what I was doing. Now, I need to go get some more slips and put them in some loose, deeper soil.
It is simple and easy and say plain language without any extra super hard words it is please listen this guy 👍 so go with him and You will have your own sweet potato don't worry only one root it can be grown without root at all longer shoots can be cut to twice or more pieces just put them in moist soil and they will go but i cooler climate it is better to have roots already develope well:-)
Great video!! Love the idea of growing them in a trough. I have a horse trough I didn’t know what to do with, looks like I’ll be using it for sweet potatoes now ❤❤
My 2 yr old grandson is very fair and has ginger hair. His favorite foods are sweet potatoes and carrots..he eats them everyday. I think its all he would eat if mama let him. He's had orange hands and feet for half of his life, but the doctor said it was ok. We also had a pet skunk whose white hair was slightly orange because she also loved sweet potatoes and carrots. I thought your comment on your beard was funny, but it really can happen if you eat enough of them. Thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot from them. 🥕🍲
Damn, I wish I had seen this video three months ago! My sweet potatoes that are only half covered in the soil aren't pushing out sprouts as well as I feel they should be after watching this video. I'm cry. Lol. I will cover them fully like you said next season. Thank you, friend!
The root color for your beard. I love sweet potatoes. Thank you for a good chuckle and the Great tip about cutting vines during growth. Maybe I can do this with success. I steam my sweet potato or bake them. Maple syrup etc. Hmmm I was thinking cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, sea salt. We'll be checking your recommended videos.

I have watched over a dozen videos on how to grow sweet potatoes and this video is by far the best. I had tried going sweet potatoes once or twice before and had pretty poor results and had given up on them, but I think I will follow the techniques in your video and give it one more try this year.
thank you my friend you will have success this year!!... start plenty early and get good slips going... don't fertilize too much and everything will be great!!
Wonderful info, my good friend. I also watched your curing the sweet potato, and harvesting the potatoes at the right time videos which are also awesome! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Regards from Canada.
the slips are so expensive this year and a lot of garden places will not have them due to high demand, definitely growing my own slips, using the soil method mostly :) Eva
Cube your sweet potatoes with regular potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and roasted garlic seasoning. Put on a baking pan in the oven 350 until done. Perfection!
don't let that daunt you my friend its very simple and I'll make another video this late summer to illustrate but check out the one I already made a couple months ago
Got slips from sweet potatoes have put slips in water and it started rotting off instead of getting roots. Read somewhere one has to remove the connecting part of the potato and slip as it apparently not good (forgot what they said). Anyway I just planted slips without roots.
hahahaha 😅your right about your beard. Nice and informative video man...watch you every day. I am in Jamaica, so I do not have frost or snow...so I can plant these tubers year round. Bless up and one love🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Just found your channel. I have grown my slips with sweet potato half buried and on top of soil. I get good slips but I'm going to try the completely buried technique in Sept/Oct. I'm about to harvest my crop here in New Zealand as we're close to frost time. I noticed tonight they're popping up through top of soil.Thanks for your knowledge. ❤
I would love to see some pictures of your harvest if you care to join our free Discord chat (link in description) you could post pictures and tag me in it so we can see the bounty!!
Excellent tips! Here's what not to do: (me last season) full sun raised bed with store bought soil and manure, I only watered a few times over the long season (was super dry and hot) and zero fertilizer. So. That didn't work.
I needed this, I ordered 25 Okinawa sweet potato slips last year way way way too early for zone 5b, they Ded!!! Then again way to late in August... I'm buying 10lbs this year to be in control and try for this beautiful ube purple potatoes again.
Well I don't want my hair to turn 'red', but appreciate the information on starting and growing sweet potatoes. I put a couple in water a couple days ago, so I'm going to follow through with those. Next time I try, I'll try the soil system. Thanks again. Lynn
I had a purple variety the year before last... Had to be on a waiting list... Missed the chance to buy them the year before... Finally got them and, first time ever, got enough for a pie! Best pie I ever tasted, I assure you. The next year the last potato started to sprout all on its own. And I got scared. And I shelved it so long all the sprouts died. I hope someone can relate to that! Lol. Tomorrow (before I allow myself a specialty spud card again) I am going to get a regular sweet potato from the store and practice making alips. You made it sound so easy! Thank you for your great explanation!
you will have great success this year my friend be sure to use the soil method and keep it nice and warm but don't drown them with water make sure the soil can breath
I love sweet potatoes and have been using them as one of my main meals for bulking in the gym. Definitely want to try growing them when I come home from Uni :)
cooking directly on the fire is best. you can tell the difference between other methods of cooking as you it is more filling, and you absorb more of the nutrients contained in the sweet Potatoe.

Tomorrow (before I allow myself a specialty spud card again) I am going to get a regular sweet potato from the store and practice making alips. You made it sound so easy!
Thank you for your great explanation!
you will have great success this year my friend be sure to use the soil method and keep it nice and warm but don't drown them with water make sure the soil can breath
great tips, thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing this! Very helpful to a new homesteader.
I love sweet potatoes and have been using them as one of my main meals for bulking in the gym. Definitely want to try growing them when I come home from Uni :)
yes they're a fantastic complex carb ideal for the bulking cycle!... especially if used with lots of grass fed butter!
cooking directly on the fire is best. you can tell the difference between other methods of cooking as you it is more filling, and you absorb more of the nutrients contained in the sweet Potatoe.
I totally agree!
WOOOOOO!!!!! just got some japanese s.p. from the organic store a few days ago!!!! WOOOOO
Helpful video! Thx!
