I grew mines in a 5 gallon self watering bucket. My first time growing them and now I have even bigger plans for next year! My mom was shocked when she saw them! Its so fun digging in the ground and discovering how big they get!
Kim, nice going, but Please don’t toss the sweet potato vines. *Take a tarp remove the soil from your 100 gallon container. *Then place ALL those lovely organic vines down in the bottom part of the container. *stomp them down a bit it you can but this is optional * put 1/3 the soil back soak it down with water *Then put the remaining soil back in the container. You have added height as well as good organics that will break down over winter. You can also save your banana peels and vegi scraps in the freezer all year long and place them on top of the vines after harvest, each year. This is much better than grass clippings and leaves. Some people chop healthy vegi vines up and leave them on the top to decompose then mix them back in next season when they amend with fertilizer. . you are inspiring keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tip. I've never thought about adding the vines to the bottom of my container. I will be doing that going forward for sure. Thanks for watching! 😊💕💕
I am so grateful you showed up in my recommendeds. I used to live in Englewood, grew up there. I moved to Springboro and back to Tipp City before moving to Clearwater, Fl. Very recently, my mother and brother were buried in Brookville and I am just devastated. I'm not trying to bring you down. It's extremely traumatic and a shock you wouldn't believe possible. Seeing you and the area takes me back there, thank you. I'm so glad the Lord put you here for me, thank you. My gardening here in SW Florida couldn't be any more different than in Ohio LOL. Thanks for connecting me back.
Show your neighbors how to plant what they like and you can have a neighborhood bartering system…they’re called grocery store veggies, get a scale so you can also compare to the store prices and know your yield! Congrats and way to go!
I HARVESTED SOME OF MINE IN A 100 GALLON HORSE TUB YESTERDAY. AND I ALSO GREW MY OWN SLIPS THIS YEAR. MY HARVEST IS JUST AS GREAT AS YOURS. I GAVE THEM AWAY TO MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE.I GROW A BIG CONTAINER GARDEN JUST TO LOOK AT AND HAVE SOMETHING TO DO AND ENJOY. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I STILL HAVE ABOUT 15 CONTAINERS AND GROW BAGS TO HARVEST. I GIVES AWAY MOST OF MY GARDEN TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BLESS YOU.🥰🥰😃😃
Hey Kim. Very nice harvest. I’m going to try to grow some Asian sweet potatoes. I got some sprouts now. I’m excited to see what I get. Safe travels to you 😊
The video on how to grow sweet potato slips is below. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching. 💕 💕😊 ruclips.net/video/PqDCCjiumLQ/видео.htmlsi=8HfA6Mhrn_Eyu_En
In 2021 I planted sweet potato slits in in bags of crushed leaves and vegetables fertilizer. I grew the largest sweet potatoes and they were purchased from Lowe’s discount rack. I fertilized one time and left them alone because of my disability. I will always plant sweet potatoes and greens. I left them in the ground 120 days. This was my first time. I enjoyed your harvesting sweet potatoes.
Hey Sista Kim🖐🏾😁I’m here for your sweet potato harvest and it looks like an abundant one. I haven’t had much luck growing slips so I will probably purchase some slips. I agree with you they are a little pricey on Amazon. I tried to start my slips from the organic potatoes I purchased from the store 3 times and each time they would rot in the soil . I’m not giving up. Super motivated after watching your harvest.
I've been cutting mine up, blanching and freezing mine. For just me i have them in freezer ziplock bags. When cooked they taste just like freshly harvested!
Your sweet potato joy is awesome! And congrats on the great harvest. Oh, and don't toss the small ones. They are great as a sweet and flavourful thickener in soups!
@@HangingwithKim Yes it is a perennial. It's leaves and stems are useful for tea and salves, however, it's root has the greatest healing properties. When harvesting the root, only take half - it will continue to grow.
Well done loyal faithful servant that abundance harvested sweet potatoes. I will harvest my before this Thanksgiving I have planted July 9 zone 9B. Happy Fall Days
SUBSCRIBED! Hey those little skinny ones are not too small, they're perfect for slicing! Easy to cut and cook in a hurry. Good to have some skinnies as well as plump sweet potatoes imo 🙂👍
Pleasw mw your potatoes leaves 🍃 i grow them fir leaves. How can i keep my slips for nwct season.. i have a short how to cook sweet potatoes leaves.. 😢😢😢😢great harvest
I will do a new video for next year on how I grew my slips. Thanks for the tip. I will have to try cooking the leaves one day. Thanks for watching! 💕😊💕
wow, that;s marvelous. you did good girl. did you know they have potato seeds now, i'm going to try them this year. glad you shared this video. thanks.
You did a thing there with those sweet potatoes. I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to gardening with you. As always I'll see you in the garden🤗
I enjoyed watching your video!! I want to plant sweet potatoes next year but my problem is deers. They eat any and everything and I'm thinking they'll eat my vines. I'll have to do more research on that. Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful harvest. I planted slips at the end of July and I am trying to patiently wait to harvest. I’m in Zone 7B in NC. Night time temps are in the 40’s so I’m a little concerned it might be too cold.
Dont discount those small potatoes. After rhey cure, you can slice rhem thin, and slice them up and saute them with a lilttle butter, add a little brown sugar & a touch of cinnamon, and have fried candied yams. Mmm, mmm. So sweet and tender.
Hi! I use small sticks and limbs in the bottom. Then, I add a thick layer of leaf mulch with only about 12 inches of potting mix on top. This year, I placed my plants down on the sides and only kept the top few inches above ground. I buried them about 4 inches deep, I believe.
i grow my sweet potatoes in 15-gallon grow bags. that way, at harvest time, i only need to flip the bag over and pick out the potatoes. no digging required, especially deep digging. and i keep the skinny spindly ones for next year's slips. also, with 15-gallon grow bags, it's impossible to over water because the bags dry out pretty quickly.
Kim, the frost may kill the vines, but your sweet potatoes should be okay. As long as it isn't a frost over multiple days or a freeze. Root crops can handle it.
How long did you leave your sweet potatoes in the pot for?? I've got mine in a large bucket!! Going good!! Only two months now!! But yeah I never know when too harvest sweet potatoes!!

Digging potatoes is like digging for treasure.

Wow. I know all of those areas. I'm so sorry for your recent loss, but I hope I brought back some good memories for Ohio.
Amazing harvest. Next year when you start new slips can you show us how you do it? much thanks
You bet! Below is a link to how I did it this year.

God has blessed you for working so hard!! God is good!!
All the time, yes, He is!
Hello Kim. The harvest was spectacular. Im hyped about growing next summer. Thx for the inspiration.
Wonderful! You can do it too!!
Hiya, Ms Kim! ❤ YOU GOT SUCH A GREAT HARVEST! 😍😍😍
Thank you! 😊
I've been cutting mine up, blanching and freezing mine. For just me i have them in freezer ziplock bags. When cooked they taste just like freshly harvested!
Great tip! I may do that with some of mine over the winter months when things slow down.
Fantastic harvest. I am sure you will enjoy them. Enjoyed your enthusiasm. Good information.
Thanks for watching! I can't wait to try this year's harvest.
I understand I just ate a Beauregard I planted. So yummy.@@HangingwithKim
I think you are a great gardening lady
Ευχαριστούμε γιά το ωραιο βιντεο σας !
Thanks for the comment and for watching! 😊
Your sweet potato joy is awesome! And congrats on the great harvest. Oh, and don't toss the small ones. They are great as a sweet and flavourful thickener in soups!
Thanks for watching. I use those small ones for yams. They are so tender and delicious.
Your soil looks good, very "fluffy." I used comfrey tea, it's smells but the results are worth it.
Thanks for watching. I need to grow and use Comfrey too. Maybe next year. I hear it's a perennial.
@@HangingwithKim Yes it is a perennial. It's leaves and stems are useful for tea and salves, however, it's root has the greatest healing properties. When harvesting the root, only take half - it will continue to grow.
Awesome job mom! I'm so excited for you 🎉❤

This was a great harvest!
Thanks! I hope this year is just as plentiful.
Well done loyal faithful servant that abundance harvested sweet potatoes. I will harvest my before this Thanksgiving I have planted July 9 zone 9B. Happy Fall Days

That's exactly what I do with the small potatoes. They make delicious yams. Yummy 😋
@@HangingwithKim Yes. Mmm. Your making me miss the family home in the mountains of TN now. Those are sure some good looking sweet potatoes. 😁👍❤

I've used 15 gallon bags as well, but this year, I grew bigger potatoes in my 100 and 25 gallon bags. Thanks for watching! 💕
Kim, the frost may kill the vines, but your sweet potatoes should be okay. As long as it isn't a frost over multiple days or a freeze. Root crops can handle it.
Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful potatoes
Thank you!!! And they were very sweet too.
Awesome
Thank you 😊
How long did you leave your sweet potatoes in the pot for?? I've got mine in a large bucket!! Going good!! Only two months now!! But yeah I never know when too harvest sweet potatoes!!
I left mine in the grow bag for just over 120 days.
Its like Christmas, lol!
Potato harvest never get old.
I missed the planting
Me too😢
What size grow bag is that?
How deep did you plant your slips?
Did you buy your dirt or compost?
I use 100 and 25 gallon grow bags. I lay my slips down on their sides only leaving about 4 inches out. I plant the rest about 2-4 inches deep.
@@HangingwithKim thank you for your time and wisdom
Please how long it take to grow potato please
Sweet potatoes about 120 days
What type of soil do you use, it seems very light.
Foxfarm potting mix
Where can I buy one of those black bags?
Here's a link for you.
amzn.to/4bUD3aG
I have 2 30lb bags, I put too many slips they came out skinny. Next year I’ll know better !
I keep learning better methods that have given me better harvest every year. Thanks for watching!
Subbed ❤
Thanks! 😁😁
can you eat the greens?
I hear that the leaves are eatable, but I've never tried it.
I was told you cook them like spinach.
❤❤❤
Can i cure in a green house
I believe so. If you have warmer temperatures, it should be fine.
❤
Mine were skinny like that little one lol
Thanks for watching. Keep trying, I'm sure you will have a better harvest next time. 😊
R those yam ?
Technically, no. They are Beauregard and Covington sweet potatoes.
