I enjoyed your surprise at the sweet potatoes! Love your idea with planting native plants and flowers to attract the local pollinators. Looking forward to the soap making and the chili farm video. Thank you Tanya!
Hello Tanya Lovely Greens. What a pleasure to see the delight and surprise on your face when harvesting the Sweet Potatoes . Keep that sunny smile beaming. It will brighten up the garden even if the Sun is hidden behind the hill. See you next week.🐱🍀🌿🌾🍎🌶🌶🌶🌶
I've not grown them, but I've read somewhere that here in the UK it can be better to plant sweet potatoes closer together and to let them grow up a trellis. Unlike in a warmer climate with longer summers where there would be more tubers growing wherever the stems rooted, that's so much less likely to happen here with our shorter summers, so you can get more yield per area of soil by letting them grow up the trellis, so you still get lots of space for leaves to grow and photosynthesise, but without taking up so much space as if they spread along the ground.
I’ve been very jealous of the onion sets I see all you UK gardeners growing. I don’t seem to be able to buy them in Tasmania - where we have a similar climate to yours and a similarly short growing season. So I made my own from the tiny onions that germinated late and didn’t grow very much last year. It’s the last month of spring here now and they’re doing really well. We’re already eating them. Thanks for your lovely videos. 😊
Nice little harvest for just two sweet potato plants! My favorite part of growing them is eating the leaves. I pick the tender ends and nice green leaves. I like to steam them. I grow Beauregaurd here in Texas. I grow a big patch, so I always nip some greens when I come home after work plus whatever veg is ready.
I bought your book "A woman's Garden" and am looking forward to investing time reading it over winter. Thank you for all your hard work, and to Josh too...have a great festive season.
Great harvest of sweet potatoes Tanya! You can keep the skinny ones to plant for next year. You can start them in a shallow tab in January and plant in place later in the season. Cheers!
I discovered this year that sweet potato leaves and tender vines are my favorite replacement for lettuce and greens in the heat of summer. Very mild taste and they just keep growing in the heat!
That’s what I miss about Asian cuisine! When living in a Singapore, sweet potato leaves were very popular in dishes. They were grown there more for their leaves than for the tubers.
@@juliemcgugan1244 you can also grow them inside as a house plant, until you eat them of course… I have 2 south facing windows taken up with my tomatoes, elephant garlic, and onions, but sweet potatoes might be next winter’s project.
Hello! I love your channel and videos! What a great sweet potato harvest. I grew them for the first time, too, but had to harvest before frost and they were a bit small. I will do again next year, but get an earlier start! I wanted to tell you how much I love your green tomato chutney recipe!! I made 8 batches and canned it for Christmas gifts. Thank you for sharing this recipe!! It is absolutely delicious!! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!
We usually end up with sweet potatoes growing in the same spot again the next year. When harvesting, the sweet potatoes get eaten pretty immediately! No need to wait. They’re already sweet. Although we grow Stokes variety. Purple skin with purple flesh, maybe that makes a difference. Also we are in Santa Barbara county, California. Got the warmth, just no water!
After they're "seasoned" enough to store, I love making french fries from them. Slow oven, oil and a bit of salt rubbed in. So delicious. I can't grow them, rainforest zone, temperate, so I seldom get enough heat to grow those. They do trellis well, save space in the beds and the greens are edible, prefer them steamed. Some people have grown sweet potatoes in large containers, trellised.
I love how neat and tidy it looks. Don't mind hectic in borders, but not inside. 👍🤗 I have 10 year old Tayberry. They ate 100mm wide now, plus over 15m long. Make fantastic arches, as after year 3 are strong enough as a support 💪
Dear Tanya, your channel inspires me always to try out new veggies and fruits, you are just wonderful! And yes, Tayberries are delicious! Have a beautiful week! Love your channel! XX (greetings to Maggie!)
I so enjoy shallots. This year I planted 9 shallots in early November and harvested 172 in July. Might be something you want to try. I live in Pacific NW. Shallots will keep in refrigerator drawer for 1 year. Thought you might enjoy. Thank you for all your efforts. Joan Fargo
I just starred watching your videos. I just finished watching the calendula oil and now I am watching the garden in November. I subscribed to your channel 😊. Thanks for sharing, I’m going to try making Calendula oil😊.❤
I wonder if perennial celery and lovage are the same plant. I grow lovage to dry the leave and powder them. Then I can had a celery flavor anywhere I want. 😋
Great work on the sweet potatoes! We tried growing them last year but our growing season is too short that they don’t get to grow more than long thin roots.
I plan on growing some in 17 gallon laundry tubs next to my garage, and trellising the vines up the side. Also plan on planting more in ground as an edible ground cover.
Hi Tanya, Great channel. I'm in North Carolina. USA. We plant sweet potatoes slips about 10" apart in well drained, loamy soil. They make one heck of a pie. Take care, Jim
Hi Tanya when I grew them I grew them upwards so releasing the ground space but you would get those extra rooted tubers it would just be around the main plant
Adding sand to the soil may give the roots more room. BUT, I like mine an inch and a half to two inches wide, because I can eat them as a quick snack made in the microwave. Wider, and they take an hour in the oven.
love the polycrub, I would love one but just don't have the space, I have a 10x8 greenhouse and 3 fruit cages so still have plenty of growing space. you just can't beat homegrown veg. Im trying to grow more perennial veg as well.
Karen-Aussie--U can eat them raw as they taste like nutty taste...very very nice... Also nice with weggers in with curry powder in airfyrer...to taste...goodluck...
Celery is a biennial and dies after flowering and setting seed in the second year. That's why I'm really interested in this new perennial 'celery' (Dystaenia takesimana). It's not a true celery but looks a little like it and is supposed to taste like it too!
An impressive harvest of sweet potatoes. Well done. However, these are natives of the southern Americas and Caribbean, where the curing process will be a piece of cake. Not easy in Blighty in November. That's what puts me off growing them. Interested to hear how yours taste.
Ah. I didn't know you need to cure sweet potatoes at 26C! Even if I could grow them there's nowhere at this time of year that will be that warm and it's about 10C warmer than I personally feel comfortable in indoors. There's no way of heat anywhere that warm for any length of time. So scratch sweet potatoes from any list of experiments for me!
I had a visitor from Australia this summer. She told me the same and they also eat the young leaves like salad greens. In her region, lettuce can struggle so sweet potato leaves are a dependable green!

Wow! Those certainly did plump up, didn’t they!? Well done, Tanya!

Yes, a friend here in the uk grows them in her polytunnel and provides an arch and some trellis for them to climb. She gets wonderful crops.
Raw sweet potato slices are one of my favorite snacks. You are fortunate to have had a great harvest. 😊

I read that airflow is the key to citrus else they get mouldy, so if the polytunnel is damp in the winter it may be a no go in there.
Leaving the oca till December will improve the yield and the flavour. It is quite a challenge finding them all!
Unless you dug up every bit of sweet potatoes, you may have volunteers in the same spot next year.
Adding sand to the soil may give the roots more room. BUT, I like mine an inch and a half to two inches wide, because I can eat them as a quick snack made in the microwave. Wider, and they take an hour in the oven.
Amazing
I've seen someone in Idaho I think (much colder climate) grow them in a poly tunnel in a hot bed
love the polycrub, I would love one but just don't have the space, I have a 10x8 greenhouse and 3 fruit cages so still have plenty of growing space. you just can't beat homegrown veg. Im trying to grow more perennial veg as well.
Nice job I have a :-) my garden struggles to grow sweet potatoes. But this year I had a few using Korean natural farming jadam fertilizer.
Karen-Aussie--U can eat them raw as they taste like nutty taste...very very nice...
Also nice with weggers in with curry powder in airfyrer...to taste...goodluck...
Wonderful channel!!!
Celery is a perennial plant it comes back every year
Celery is a biennial and dies after flowering and setting seed in the second year. That's why I'm really interested in this new perennial 'celery' (Dystaenia takesimana). It's not a true celery but looks a little like it and is supposed to taste like it too!

Did you know you can eat the sweet potato leaves? I didn't. They say steam or cook like cabbage or spinach with onions and bell peppers and garlic.
I had a visitor from Australia this summer. She told me the same and they also eat the young leaves like salad greens. In her region, lettuce can struggle so sweet potato leaves are a dependable green!
Maggie rules 🤩👏🤩👏🤩👏🤩👏🤩👏👍👍👍👍👍

Wow..Great harvest.
Do you have a link for how you keep the tunnel heated?
It heats itself but over the winter it will get colder inside. It will be interesting to watch how cold it gets this first winter.
Hi what compost do you use in the beds ?
Great update on your garden.
Will the soap making be vegan? Is there a cost?
Almost all the soap I make is vegan, but I occasionally use tallow, and I definitely use honey and beeswax from my bees.
I have grown oca for first time this year. Are the small tubers ok to save for seeds for planting next year?
Yes! No need to buy new ones each year, just replant some of that year's harvest.
What variety of sweet potato did you grow?
Ooh, I cant remember at the moment but the variety name is overlaid in the video.
What is your grow zone?
Coastal temperate 9a (British Isles)
