I sure do miss you guys! God Bless You! Look forward to seeing you again when you're ready!😊❤🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
SO grateful for this interview with your grandmother! Please have more with her, she's such a gem and a true blessing from God. Thank you! ♡
Best part of the video- the adorable daughter saying "thank you momma" Even more darling- "your welcome" by the mother! Simple integrity and respect grows from here!
Oh my goodness, that little "thank you Mama" was just the most precious thing! This is my first visit to your channel, and I have a feeling I'm really going to like it.
Love,love,love your channel, your scenery, your family and your attitude to life....THATS LIVING.
I had the Same reaction to these People... Love Love Love... There is so much there, Love i mean ... :)
When there are no new videos i keep digging into your old videos...that's how much i love your work!! Blessings from India
I lost MY Art last year to cancer and his sweet mother this year to Alzheimer's. Make memories AND make plans so that whichever one is left behind they are secure and will be able to continue after the initial waves of pain and shock. The grass withers and the flowers fade. But the Word of our L-rd remains forever.
You both are blessed beyond your knowing....cherish it every day, whether sunshine or rain....
Thank you for the reminder. We are trying to.
Shaiken To you ~ maranatha. Hugs and all that is good. One day we will meet up in the heavens with Yeshua . I hope you are ok now and this winter if you are in the northern hemisphere is not arduos. Im in Australia, going into a very rainy spell, so they say and then the heat of summer.
I have stores my sweet potaoes very succesfully by wrapping the potatoes induvidually in newspaper and packed them in a carton box. they have lasted all winter and I am still eating them. They are sweet and firm. no rot at all. hope it helps
Catharina Bellekom thx
did you have to do the hot damp thing she did or not ?
Is this the only step you did?, I will try this
Wow thanks I will try it
One generation passing down to the next. Wonderful ! That is what most of us have been missing. My wife and I are searching and learning what was being done a couple of generations ago. My compliment to you !!!
Great life you all are living!!! The first year I grew sweet potatoes I did not know about curing them so fresh from the garden bed, I scrubbed them down, and cooked them up, excitedly anticipating a feast. Did not happen! It seemed no matter how much sweetener I added they had very little flavor and a woodie texture, I wouldnt describe it as being tasteful. I soon learned curing is a must! The potato will get a thicker skin and a sweeter potato. Patience and timing is a virtue with sweet potato harvesting..
That's right. We had guests over today for lunch and baked some sweet potatoes. The were OK but bland. I just added extra butter.
good to know
An easier way. Just the day before the first frost pull the vines off the SP"s. [ you are taking them to soon from the ground ] Kick a bit of dirt over and showing end. Leave them in the ground for a week then dig them, clean , lay them out to dry a few days in a heated dry place, rap in news paper or another soft paper and place in boxes. They will be sweet as ever. Store in a cool but dry place. A back room is ok.
Thanks Paul
I wish I could have done this with my grandparents. We didn't have cell phones or computers back then. So much knowledge. Great video thanks God bless. 😍
Your kids are so cute. I’ve never seen kids eat so much greens and raw fruits and veggies!❤️
Hi Guys love your garden and your family. I"ve got 4 granddaughters myself Got a bumper crop of mandarins and lemons ready for picking. We are gearing up for a hot dry summer here in Sydney with a super hot January the norm over the last few years. Peace wisdom and a good harvest to you.
So glad to run into your videos. I'm getting about ready to find out if my first ever sweet potatoes grew. (Minnesota). My patch is just like the one in the video, butternuts and sweet potatoes grew into each other's area. We are having warm weather for this late in the year and both types of vines are still looking great.
What a beautiful family video! Thanks for brightening my Saturday morning.
We so love sweet potatoes, but they just don't store well, we had wondered maybe the produce section in the supermarket is cooler than home but now that your Nana shared her knowledge on the subject, this is enough to motivate us to planting some, there's an AWESOME Cream of Sweet Potatoe as well as the traditional dishes we all know and love.
Tried and true wisdom like this is hard to come by...Thank You! (You have a beautiful family!)
Lol! "Pretend I didn't". Adorable!! Thanks for the wonderful information, as well as sharing your lovely family.
I could just watch her sitting holding the sleeping baby so calming, great info and great video.
A wonderful image of grandpa digging sweet potatoes with his grand-daughters. That'll brighten many a day for me, thanks for sharing it with us. I'm going to try sweet potatoes this coming spring. I've found some that look like they'll do and will start them to make slips for this coming season. Blessings! :)
By the looks of it you're doing a great job of raising your kids. Beautiful!
Brianna, you and Arthur are doing a great job raising your kids. Thanks for the information.
I’m Montagnard indigenous , I like you harvest your sweet tomatoes it’s awesome.
OMG those "animals" eating the crops are so adorable!!!
It is so great to see how the children learn as they have fun
What a beautiful family! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel❤️ Bless you all
Your family reminds me so much of mine. All the sweet babies....Blessings. :)
Going to watch as much of Art and Bri that I can to help keep your channel going as you rest a recover from this recent illness.
Wow that opener...you found the hypnotic approach.
such a calm and nice scene at the beginning there! I am a person of high stress/anxiety and your videos along with the Rhodes family really lower the blood pressure! :D cheers!
So glad.
Thank you Art and Bri for sharing your video homestead 🐔 🐓🐥🐈🐕🐖🐂🌱
I LOL’ed at them pesky animals eating the veggies out of the garden. You have a beautiful family, I grew my first sweet potato crop this year and I’m trying to learn how to cure thanks for the info.
Art and Bri: Yes, they taste a LOT less sweet if you eat them before they are cured. Our local supermarket got some in that weren't cured and we had them one evening for supper. They were very lightly sweetened but only enough to know that they weren't regular potatoes. I thought they tasted extremely bland and starchy but they were okay with fresh salted butter melted on them.
You have a beautiful family! Can you imagine if everyone was like you and your family? Two thumbs up!
This was so interesting!! Now I want to grow sweet potatoes!!!! Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My family and I are putting in a garden this year and sweet potatoes will be there! I love to watch your videos. They are helpful. God bless you.
What wonderful folks y'all are. And so beautiful.
your kiddies are sooooooo wealthy with grandparents that are sooo wise...

Your video it's so sweet that I didn't noticed when it finished so I wanted to keep watching more and more. Big blessing to your family 🙏❣️🙏
today is the 27th its my 63rd birthday and i love sweet potatoes.thanks for sharing. we just dig our potatoes and store them in a cool place but we dont let them get cold we lay them out on a flat card board box and they keep well that way.
Happy birthday!
so full of love,so simple kind of life,so beautiful and yet greatly scientific!
I received a bunch of sweet potato slips n the mail that I do not remember ordering.I purchase a lot of sweet potatoes as they r a fave & a healthier alternative to white potatoes.So I was happy to grow them.I planted them n raised boxes & they grew & grew & grew. I had 2 go 2 Florida 4 healthcare reasons & left them unattended.They still did wonderfully.By the time I was able 2 get them harvested they were mostly big as a man's boot. I had no idea curing was needed or if I could eat them without doing so or if they could be 2 big 2 eat.I was still under the weather & it was difficult 4 me 2 research them & not even the farmers & Amish I knew could tell me how to cure them.I live n an 1800 square ft home n the city limits with no spare space n my home or garage.I am new 2 gardening.It broke my heart to place them all n the compost pile because I was just unable 2 get answers while sick.This video made it sound so easy. I wish I had found it back then.Does anyone know if they can b 2 big 2 safely consume? How do u store 4 winter?Also can they b canned? Any ideas on a solution 2 curing with no extra room n house or garage? Any ideas & advice appreciated.
Those biscuits look amazing. Thanks for the informative video!!!!
blessing thank you for sharing have a beautiful day
You're channel is so relaxing!!
the introduction to the video is lovely :)
very helpful, cant wait to try it with this years sweet potatoes
Is this a great country or what???!!!!! How wonderful.
beautiful filming at the breakfast preparation
Sweet family. Got the kids gardening early. Good job.
Such a beautiful family and beautiful sweet potatoes too! 🌱😀
Beautifully done👏👏👏
I love gardening so much! But you much time spent for that to grow big and beautiful growing. Mmmmh? Buy the way, Your kids was so sweet.
A B and the little Csss. . . . Thanks for the helpful tutorial on sweet tator curing! I absolutely LOVE them in any shape form or style. . .with a little butter, cinnamon and a bit of sweetener they can make a king to smile!! Blessings! Phil
Try as I did ~ there were NO slips available anywhere that we could find here in the NE ~ SO0o I carelessly plopped the half sweet potatoes ( which I even tried to make slips from)
into a few empty spots...... and was shocked at the lovely dark green vines that covered that empty area. I'm so looking forward to harvesting what I 'planted' last May! Thank you for the helpful advice for curing them also!
Beautiful video! Love your little garden animals! Going to try to grow sweet potatoes this year!
hi i found your channel few days a go and i found interesting happen in here so i decide to subscribe
I'm looking your channel her im Germany...and i like it very muc. .your lifestyl, your attitude. ..your family life. ..May God bless you and your family..Monika (pic is my husband)
Thank you and God bless all of you🙏❤㊗
Thank you for posting this wonderful and helpful video!
What a wonderful family! Good info too!
Darling video, such sweet children. Thanks for the growing advice.
Thank you! Beautiful video.
I've heard other farmers say they use the skinny potatoes like Mick picked at 6:40 in sweet potato candy recipes. Maybe you'll want to do that for one of your vlogs. I've never had it but it sounds yummy.
Since the video, we've dug a lot of sweet potatoes from between the hills, and they are thinner. It's good food, but not your perfect baker that you get in the store.
Sweet potatoes and sweet babies!
I grow lots marigolds around my deck & garden for pest & snake control. It helps big time.
I ve never seen red potato before. it looks cool 😄
Those biscuits sure look good--I am so hungry now!
Thank you! I have some sweet potato eyes rooting.. are those slips?? our first real garden on our place here and largest garden to boot. wow those squash look amazing! our rainbow potatoes plus several others are doing fabulous though.. so is our garlic(which I only just learned to plant in the fall..hmm who knew??) We're learning every single day. bless you and entire family. ty
Oooo, sweet potato and butternut squash makes a very tasty soup. Top with pepitas, pomegranate seeds, and crumbled bacon.
Is All about love in a great family. Thumb up's guy's... thank's..
very nice
What a lovely inspiring video, first time that I have viewed your channel, so well done on a great video. Lots of best wishes from Sunny Scotland UK :)
Thank you for watching! We love hearing where people are from.
wow! i love watching your videos and the amazing and adorable kids...good job! keep it up.
3:36 Just a heads up, for humidity you want a hygrometer. Not a barometer. No use checking barometric pressure for them. 5:38, this is what disappoints me about some of the sweet potato videos. People aren't eating the greens. It's literally free super spinach. But better.
Beautiful
So lovely family 👍👍👍
By the way, we are still eating sweet potatoes from last year. -Art's Dad
Beautiful family. Greetings form Italy.
Greetings.
love these videos
Great channel keep up the great work.
Love this video
I love this so much Thanks alot for sharing this .
They are good looking sweet potatoes, love those kale munching rug rats . Trampolines are probably the best to catch them with, not many can resist. lol
you guys have a very good vlog. enjoy watching
Thank you!
i watch most of your vlogs and notice the great improvements they have gotten much better in terms of editing and content. i hope to do some homesteading soon and watching your vlog have inspired me and given insight, thanks
Please try the sweet potato leaves(we call it camote tops) it's so delicious just blanch it. Nothing goes to waste with those Sweet potato plants.
Here in FL i think i can just leave the potatos outside right now, about 82 in the day and always humid then put them in the refrigerator for the cool part... Oh and its december.
The leaves of sweet potato is delicious..
How do you prepare the leaves of sweet potatoes?
I love it kids
In the video we just harvested the Sweet Potatoes in the hills, which is where we planted the slips, but after clearing off the vines, I'm finding more tubers now in between the rows, in the trough. They are nice ones, though not necessarily Grade As. We are leaving the vines as a that grew out of the boundary of the Sweet Potato area as a cover crop along with the Hairy Vetch and Field Rye that we planted. They'll act as a cover crop over winter. I know the vines will die back, but they should give protection to the soil and add organic matter. The other vines I dragged to the compost pile. It must have been 100 pounds of vines there. This is an experiment since I've never done it before.
That brings up a question, is there a chance that vines left in place will grow potatoes on their own next time around?
Great idea for cover
That was great!
What wonderful finger food!
very nice video thanks
Love your videos! New subscriber here. The baby is adorable, he's a big boy like my son was. My son was huge at birth lol...
Turning your swords into plowshares :) I love that and someday God will do it. Love the sweet potato patch and information on that. I have always canned mine after a 2 week humid/warm cure, but think I may add the cool box for 4 weeks as well now before canning.
lovely
my Aunt said this video is really good.the creator gots potentials and if maximized/polished could be the next Sophia Coppola or Rob Reiner of short films/human drama
Your videos make me feel all warm and toasty. Last year planted lots of slips, very hot summer...got no fruits. Tried not to overwater , maybe did not water enough?
Your kids a so amazingly cute! "Catch them with a long trap" "pretend I didn't (talk)" cracked me up! "I'M GOING TO THANK MOMMA!" I thought Justin Rhodes kids were cute but yours are pushing for top place! lol
