GROWING Sweet Potato SLIPS Like My DADDY Did!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 фев 2021
- Danny shows how he is growing sweet potato slips like his daddy did many years ago. We have always started our sweet potatoes in dirt, but This year we are adding another layer to our dirt to create a better growing environment. We also moved our old fashioned multiplying onions to a better growing location.

Gardening the best therapy ever .
It is ❤
Second year in & it brings me peace
Saved my heart a bit when my life long friend passed
My husband brought me home a tiny little greenhouse
Now it’s used more for storage 😅but it got me started on my gardening journey
I’d advise it for anyone ☺️ ❤
"and those potatoes should just begin to Cadillac guys". Ha... Love it! That was my daddy's favorite car. 😂
Good morning Danny and the whole crew. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. That's how the small farmers in Jamaica plant it as well
You should try making a ruth garden. Plot a space with garden stakes. Cut the grass away then Put about 3 or four layers of hay in the space let them set through the winter. Then pull the hay back through them in a row. Put little hay on them and watch them grow. No watering, no tilling, no bunch of hard working the land. I never knew any other way of getting slip but from the soil. Like starts and such.
Love jamaica
@@sagawang5 💪👍👍🇯🇲
Interesting
I never did it before how long does it take to get slips when you stick them I dirt
I grew up on 13-13-13. Grandpa used it. Daddy used it. I always use it.
can't wait to c mys gonna be like
amen
Just wanted to say I live in suburbia in New Jersey, but your channel has become must-watch RUclips for me because of your basic, practical farming and garden information, not to mention the general knowledge you share. Thanks, and here’s hoping you have continued success.
Envious of your early gardening season.
Up north here,I am desperately in need of outdoor,dig in the dirt garden therapy and reward!
I love the videos in which you talk about the crops the old timers grew. So many seeds/plants today are focused on mass productivity instead sustainability and they lack flavor as a result. I know that’s not true across the board, but for the most part it is the sad truth. May God bless you both for sharing the wisdom you’ve gained along the path of life.
That is the exact reason I started finding and using heirloom seeds. I was disappointed that tomatoes did not taste like the tomatoes my grandparents/ aunts and uncles and even my mother grew.
My tomatoes were beautiful but the taste was just meh.
I asked my aunt that still grows huge gardens what the secret was. She said she had been growing old varieties like brandywine and beefsteak. I joined a garden forum and started buying a few heirloom seeds and well I got carried away but now I have tomatoes that are ugly. Cracked, funny shoulders, lumpy but the flavors ? Incredible. Even better than I remember. Especially the blacks/browns/purples. I'll pick ugly tasty fruit over perfect fruit every time. Happy gardening
Hello from TN. That would be a great video on the Sweet Potatoes. Sometimes the old ways are better! GOD bless
So sorry they changed the laws in Mississippi for no reason- ridiculous… aggravating. Love your channel
I know what I’m doing today with my sweet white potatoes that reminds me of the ones we use in the Caribbean😊.
Thanks for the video. I’m new to homesteading
Welcome. You should be able to grow lots of slips and then plant. Good luck
I potted about six small sweet potatoes from last year's harvest and I literally have a bouquet of slips now. I discovered this method last year.
My apologies, I wasn’t quite done with the video yet and you did clarify that. Just discovered your channel thank you so much.
Danny, I would like to see a video on how you are adapting to getting older. I am 69 now and feel my energy wanting slightly as time goes by.
Thankyou
I think this is a really great question that has so many answers. I bet Danny has some great ideas.
Hey again friends, we need to get some potato slips this year too going. Sometimes the older ways help us now. Thanks for sharing all your advice and tips. We appreciate it. Love y'all.
Great Job Mr. Danny, this crazy weather thew a lot of people off.
I love the wisdom of the elders. Thanks for all the great tips. Good lesson today. God bless Y'all!
Good to know, thank you! It would be so great to have grade schools class rooms visit your farm so kids could see this first hand. Nice work to the both of you. Appreciate you both.
The public school system just doesn’t do field trips like they use to or I would support this wholeheartedly. I think a better way to reach children is by having a child friendly garden near a road with signs clearly stating what has been planted and pictures of what it will produce. Community gardens should be front and center in order for the passers by (young and old) to see what all is possible.
@@pinetreehill586 I used to work with a non profit gardening group and would go around to SD schools and help to jump start the community/school yard gardens. 70% of the time they were vandalized. And then the teachers and volunteers would not be around to organize in the summers which is the growing season. Most of the time we worked on grants that would cover our salary.
@@Farmerbob843 So you focused time and effort on being sure you got paid for something that could be done for next to nothing. How does it help the hungry in a community for you to get a paycheck?
@@pinetreehill586 It is a romantic idea. I have always dreamed of having an educational garden on our 4 acres. I thought that this would be great -the bringing this idea to communities. I worked for this non-profit for less than a year. If you have ever worked for a nonprofit, that is how they run. I worked in a building with 5 other nonprofits. Thats what they do. Take Federal grant money and then they have to spend the $ on certain areas. Ex. a certain amount must go to office supplies.... and the M of D employees got a cali vaca in mid winter for seminars -Thats why they received a new 4k copier every 2 to 3 years. If you don't spend it, you loss it. Anything Gov. does is wasteful most of the time. Sad but true.
Sweet Potatoes are really good....the white one we call it Batata in Puerto Rico. If you burn some wood and you place them in the middle/corner of the charcoal cover, once they are cooked that you pinch them with a knife or fork and goes through...mmmm mmmm ready to eat with a cup of a nice black ☕ or a glass of cold milk 🥛😉
Good morning Mr Danny and Miss Wanda. I hope you take us thru the next steps to harvest. Love hearing the morning behind you in the background. Sweet melodies.
Very informational, thank you sir and God bless you and your family!
Good morning, Danny and Wanda from Cajun Country. Enjoyed this video. As I watch you plant things I realize that y’all plant and grow many things just like my Grandfather , Father and I do. Enjoy watching the videos, keep up the awesome work.
Danny I am going to try doing this in a tote. My husband is not able to get out and do this do to his health. My dad used to live across the creek behind me and he was my gardener. I have got to get this done as I fear to even try to buy from local farmers this year will be too expensive. I appreciate so much yours and Wanda knowledge.
Oh how I’d love some of those multiplying onions! Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Awesome teachers y’all are!
MAN, I AM SO GLAD I SAW THIS . IF I HAD KNOWN I WOULD OF DONE MY FIRST ONES LIKE THAT BUT I THINK I STILL HAVE SOME TIME CAUSE I LIVE IN THE NORTH. THANKYOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS.
Thank y’all for sharing your family’s knowledge.
Danny and Wanda I just loved watching you guys building the She Shed, you both take pride in your work, I like everything you two do together
I grew up in Alabama I know all about those long hot summers in the south . You two seem to work together so well .
Thank you Danny and Wanda.
🌞 Good morning Danny and Wanda I can remember when I first started watching your channel you were in the field working with the sweet potato slips and you had a stick looked like a snake tongue pushing the slips down lightly that was in 2014 I said I like how you were explained how to plant 🍠🍠🍠 and look I'm still here learning how to do things the right way Thanks Danny 👍❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise with us all! Greatly appreciate it Danny! You and Wanda are blessings 😊
Good morning from Florida. I had an old sweet potato in my kitchen that had started to grow baby slips. I put about 2-3 inches of top soil in a 2in tall cardboard rectangular box and set the sweet potato on top of it. I just set my dripping hose end at the corner to keep it watered. To my surprise, there are now about 10 beautiful long slips growing from it! Gotta figure out what to do with it next. I'm just getting into gardening and don't have land, just a small yard. Thx for this video. You two are awesome!
You can grow potatoes in a 5 gallon bucket. Put holes in the bottom for drainage. You can put 3 sweet potato slips in each bucket. You can also use a grow bag. Ditto for white/Irish or any variety of potato.
Wow! Great job! I've been gardening for almost 20 years (with a few missed years because of work getting too busy) and I've never grown sweet potatoes so I'm binge-watching all the homestead videos on them. I started some 5 days ago and can't wait to see my slips! Good luck to you!
@@jswhosoever4533 Thx. Good luck to you too!
@@patches1483 Thx for the info! I will try it.
Fla here & growing sweet potatoes that are beautiful n purple flowering. Don't forget you can eat the greens.
Thank you! I recently found your RUclips channel. I was JUST getting ready to put my sweet potatoes in water!! I am thrilled to learn how to do this. You’re like a good neighbor teaching me what to do.❤️
Thanks Danny& Wanda for a great demonstration. Hope you both are doing well.
Videos like this are so valuable! Thank you!
Hello Danny & Wanda. Thank you both for always bringing us the good stuff. Me and my wife enjoy tuning in to hear what you have to say. We’re gonna put this system to work as soon as we get a hold to some sweet potatoes. Thanks a lot.
The name is Danny's sweetpotatoes. That sounds good to me.
AMAZING ! Soooo much easier than the methods I've seen on other videos ! THANK YOU for sharing this !!!
Thank you, thank you brother Danny. This knowledge is priceless GBY 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
Onions,,, Finally into something I know about ! :) Wish I still had some.
Love yout channel. Keep up all the fun educational videos. God bless you Danny and Wanda.
Thats the way my daddy did it too i like that will keep his legacy going those pen strokes will get us all i would love some of those onion's we also had those when i was a kid. God bless yall
For 2 years have been planting potatoes and they did real well, in large totes. Thank you for the tip about the sawdust. God bless 🙏♥️😃
We get ours started indoors in tubs, half buried in potting mix at at least 65 F .. but then take cuttings from the rooted slips, root those, and make more slips. We are at 36 degrees North Latitude, and Beauregard grows like a champ for us 👍
You folks need to start growing moringa fro summer salad greens
Thank you for this video! My Granny used to sell sweet potato slips and I have always wondered how she started them." I was to little to remember" love this!!!!
I like this method you're showing! Thank you.
Bless you guys. Gvt just wants to have their hands in everything thats all.
I have 1 sweet potato in water trying to start slips. Was planning on putting the rest in dirt to try that way. Thankfor putting this info out.
Thanks you very much.
I am liking those cold frames. Glad I found you all.
Thanks for your videos. I love them. I have tried several of your methods with success. Keep’em coming!
Here in new zealand we call them kumera
So, I guess for my family I only need 2 potatoes for growing slips. 😉 My son won't eat them. But I like them a lot.
Thanks for help on the variety info.
Those onions sound great to have in the garden. Thanks for the all the tips.
Thank you for the tip on growing slips this way.
We had these onions growing up and we use to pull them, wash and eat fresh with a piece of bread. Yum!
Thank you SO MUCH ! This is the most sensible way to get the job done right and naturally ! We're up north from you folks, but I did grow them once with a very small
harvest ~ but I can see now what I did then that wasn't' beneficial. I sure would like a
decent harvest. We do grow white potatoes ( much more than needed.) and lots of
other good vegetables on our little mountain farm. Now that I found you ~ I'll be back!
So good. I just found you, and have got a lot from watching you. Thank you.
When you harvest these slips, could you please show us how to pick them. Thank you for all of your knowledge 🙏 ❤
Yes please never grown sweet potatoes my family don’t like them but I love them.
Just check his playlists. He has a video on that already. It’s really amazing!
@@pinetreehill586 ok, I will, thank you!😉
Thanks Danny, good information ! Tommy
I watched your other hotbed videos yesterday and planted in my greenhouse for slips! First time to try it.
They will do fine.
Thanks for all the great info. I'm disabled, growing in container in my apartment. I'm doing better since finding your channel two years ago. Better yields for the limited space.
I like the sawdust layer idea. I'll be trying that.
Thank you! I did this method today!
Good morning Danny, and Wanda!!♥️ ♥️
Thanks Danny, you are giving timely information along with a great how to video. I Just got 40 pounds of seed potato from LSU sweet potato research station your video makes it very clear how to grow slips and is almost the same way they told me to plant. I am going to take your advice and eat the big sweet potatoes or make sweet potato pie.
I'm so glad I watched your video. I had my potatoes in water and they have been in there for 2 weeks. I going home today and plant them in potting soul. This is my first time planting sweet potatoes slips.
I did plant my sweet potatoes in potting soil. How long will it take for them to grow?
So happy ! I cannot do the water method I tried so many times. Yaay thank you😘
❤❤❤ your videos 👍👍👍
Thank you for this sweet potato video, I have put in an order on your Etsy shop for your manual and I will be trying this method for my sweet potatoes this year!! 🌸
I have done it that way and it does much better in soil.
This is fantastic!!! You've just saved me a LOT of time.
Just love your presentation!
Great video. I have 4 in water for about 4 weeks, they are just starting. I will start a few in soil today.
I’m saving and sharing this video with my gardening friends. I’m from Tennessee, but now live in Georgia. I have to try this method soon. I’m in zone 8b and have a long growing season.
Thank you for great tips on the multiplying onion so awesome
Yes danny u did the right way
It's the way he tells it😂
Thank you for the info on sweet potatoes. I do remember as a child about the green onions and scrambled eggs. I think it was wild onions mom used. Was very good. Thank you for sharing how you grow things. God bless you and wanda
Oh my gosh Danny, I have my taters in glasses as I type, lmao 😂 I’m putting mine in a tote...I don’t need many.
thank you for your great knowledge on how to plant sweet potatoes. awesome
JudithB I grew Buregard last year, and it was a small crop. I think I will do it your way and see how it does! Still building raised beds and trying to get them all filled. I hope the garden is all finished this year and does even better then last year!!.
Good morning thank you for the information I appreciate it especially being up north up here by the 45th parallel God bless prayers for you 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I'm growing in totes. Thanks for the info! :) I have never used triple 13 on tators but will start. God Bless!🙏
My dad always just started them in a glass of water on the windowsill, and pulled them off when they were about 4 inch high, Carefully pulling them off to try and get a good base from the momma tater. One good mother potato grows a lot, and continues producing. Sweet potatoe greens are great salads and even dehydrated for smoothies. Amazingly versatile plant.
I have some white potatoes in a paper bag in my garage waiting to be planted. I’m going to follow your method.
That is how you grow the sweet potatoes. Love ur videos
Hi from Australia. Such Informative videos, a pleasure to watch and I have already learnt brand new tricks and tips. Thank you.
Agh I was hoping to order sweet potato slips from you guys. Ty for sharing this video
Hello from Maine! Thank you for all the great info. ❤️
Just found you and subbed. My wife and I are getting back to our roots ... learning to ferment and keep food without refrigeration and freezers. I live in NE Kansas and have been getting better at growing sweet potatoes (250+ pounds last year) ... just have to be careful not to put them out too early. I started slips this year for the first time and off course they are in water. Your method is so superior ... the way the Good Lord intended it!! I can't wait to view more of your videos.
Like your cold frame 👍
