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 ☺️ ❤
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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 👍
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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 👍❤️
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.
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.
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!!!!
Good Morning Danny And Wanda Iam going to try to put some in the pot this year .I being save coffee grounds for the ants too. We got do something if we want eat, and put up some food.look bad in the store now.
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'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.
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!!.
This is basically how we start Hayman sweet potatoes here on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I also add some sand to the soil over the seed potatoes. The biggest challenge is not leaving the tops of the cold frames down on sunny days and overheating the growing slips. I plant about 250 slips a year and harvest 5-7 bushels of Hayman annually. I'll put the potatoes in the cold frame at the start of April and plant the sprouts in early to mid May.
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!
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.❤️
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!
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.
Love it. Wish I was having better luck. I only have a few slips from regular orange grocery store potatoes. My white sweet potatoes were put in the dirt the week before the freeze. I brought them into the garage and put under grow lights but after we lost power they rotted. So far I have not been able to get replacements.
@@beverlymummomiller338 I'm in Hill country, got my potatoes, turmeric and ginger planted in containers one week before the freeze and snow hit us. Having to start all over again too. Have not been able to find any turmeric to replant yet
Danny , I already have the draws... what do I do next? I wished you covered that in this video. Do I dig up the potatoes? And are those onions also called walking onions also? I can't find them anywhere. I grew up in Iowa and I live in Oklahoma now. I miss those old fashioned onions that spread.
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.
My daddy would put compost down, potatoes, then sawdust and keep it watered. He grew tons of slips and sold to public. We were born and raised in Alabama, German heritage. Love your video! Reminds me very much of those days. One of the potatoes were called Porto Ricans?
Completely agree about not starting them in water. Tried two times, you really need to keep on the water, changing it daily or every other day. Both times the sweet potato started to rot. Started the slips in a few pots and there's no maintenance and you get loads of slips.
I did the water and the dirt method and the water is a lot of extra work. I just use a small shoebox size cardboard box (only need about 5-10 slips) with soil. It takes a while and you wonder if the slips will come up then one day you see them peaking through. Water is more exciting because you see the roots but I think transplanting water slips is more difficult.
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.

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.

Interesting
I never did it before how long does it take to get slips when you stick them I dirt
"and those potatoes should just begin to Cadillac guys". Ha... Love it! That was my daddy's favorite car. 😂
I grew up on 13-13-13. Grandpa used it. Daddy used it. I always use it.

Welcome. You should be able to grow lots of slips and then plant. Good luck
So sorry they changed the laws in Mississippi for no reason- ridiculous… aggravating. Love your channel
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.

Hey hey hey awesome peeps
Interesting way to get slips. I can see that it is best. I have never grown sweet potatoes.
Thank you!! Have a cold frame. I think I will give this a try if I can find some organic sweet potato. 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
Completely agree about not starting them in water. Tried two times, you really need to keep on the water, changing it daily or every other day. Both times the sweet potato started to rot. Started the slips in a few pots and there's no maintenance and you get loads of slips.
thank you for your great knowledge on how to plant sweet potatoes. awesome
Up north Glen Arm MD I'm all about Georgia Jet's man what a high yield. Yep like candy.
I did the water and the dirt method and the water is a lot of extra work. I just use a small shoebox size cardboard box (only need about 5-10 slips) with soil. It takes a while and you wonder if the slips will come up then one day you see them peaking through. Water is more exciting because you see the roots but I think transplanting water slips is more difficult.
I planted mine. Hoping they will do well.
They are called Kumara & originated from Chillie & are found in most Sth Pacific countries.
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.
Mississippi Reds are the best sweet potatoe you will ever eat. They bake off with a candied syrup coming out. I bake them and freeze them yummy
So good. I just found you, and have got a lot from watching you. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 I’ll be doing that
Great video. I have 4 in water for about 4 weeks, they are just starting. I will start a few in soil today.
Thanks Danny, good information ! Tommy
Like your cold frame 👍
Amazes me how sandy your soil is. Seems to do just fine! Great for potatoes too I see
Sandy loam is the best soil to have.
