NEVER SAW SO MUCH EXCITEMENT ON SOMEBODY FACE WHEN CRUSEO SAW THE FIRST SWEET POTATOES 🥔 😋 WHAT A AWSOME WAY TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT FOOD

What do you get with paid sponsorship?
Love the digging. I'm the same with my potatoes and my garlic.
With the season ending it is so wonderful to still be harvesting 🎉
The 3 other RUclipsrs I sponsor all have new homes or are building. Newbys, Niki in Positanio, luke categuh and Leave everything and wander. So happy to see my little help is making dreams come true 💞
Once again big brother Crusoe teaching Sawyer about harvesting sweet potatoes stole the show. Finishing with a gentle hug was adorable!
Tara sweet potato curry is delicious, you can try making it using your least favorite white ones.
Bye for now friends. 🌸
Their relationship is just the sweetest Irene! A sweet potato curry sounds delicious friend, thanks for the suggestion 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I WILL make curry sauce on sweet and white potatoes. Yummy
Agree!
I loved the cuddle that Crusoe gave Sawyer when they were talking about the sweet potatoes, what lovely brothers they are x
What a harvest!! Sweet potatoes and from only 4 plants!! That was a treat to watch. Crusoe is helping more and more. Just imagine the education these children are soaking up!! Just makes me smile!!! The HUG !!!!! Oh guys, thank you so much. Needed this more than you know. Stay safe and see you in the next one.
We are SO stoked about the harvest Tina, they are so delicious too! Thanks so much for watching and for always supporting us 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
You can also eat the leaves, of the sweet potato, like you would eat spinach!
The joy when John started finding the sweet potatoes! 😂 You all had me grinning from ear to ear! 🍠
Lovely boys... I couldn't imagine without them having fun exploring your lovely orchard
Congratulations on the ENORMOUS SWEET POTATOES 🎉😂🎉😂🎉 And the boys are soooo adorable ❤❤❤❤
They are amazing Paulette! Thanks so much for watching friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Wow!!! ❤
John when you walk past the orange tree. And it rubbed over your shoulder,your energy is naturally being healed.
Tara, you need to keep the runners, and also leave the small sweet potatoes in the ground for the next crop. Plant the runners and mound up the soil.
I love how excited Crusoe gets, 'look daddy a potato it's enormous' and then he tells Sawyer and hugs him what a darling. You know Tara and John I thank you both that the boy's are growing up like we did in Rhodesia, no shoes, running in the rain getting wet and full of mud, fantastic. Those sweet potatoes' were ginormous. Another lovely video have a great day.
We love being able to share these moments with our boys Lieuwina. It’s just the best! Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
We cleaned our coop every single day. I can't stand the smell, and think that the girls feel the same. We built an undercover area over the coop to keep them dry during the rainy season, and it has worked a treat. In summer, we get 40 to 43 degrees Celsius, and having that extra cover is shade for them.
I grow pumpkin over the netting that's over their run for added shade in summer. We had to put up netting because the wedge tail Eagles try to capture them. We had an episode with one, and they were attacked and are now so scared. Blood and some combs were ripped.
We just do what needs done to make our lives easier, and the chooks too 😊
That’s a great idea friend. Thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear about your eagle problem, that is not fun at all. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I try to clean our coop everyday or every other. I use finely chopped up straw which makes it much easier than regular straw. I purchase it at tractor supply store that carries feed etc. I don't know if they can find it there. I bought a long handled litter scoop and can scoop up the poo. I was out of it the last time I needed it and the store was out so I put regular straw and hate it!! Our coop is large enough for me to go inside which also makes it easier.
Seeing Crusoe so excited about the sweet potatoes was a great start to the day. Have a wonderful Sunday
Thanks so much Deborah, we hope you have a fantastic day today 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Who knew digging sweet potatoes could be so much fun!!! I love that you have fostered Crusoe's love of the natural world around him and it looks like Sawyer is following quickly behind! In fact, Sawyer may be even more intrepid! Thank you for sharing the sweet potato harvesting with us! It was glorious!
We had the best time Susan! Both boys are growing up so quickly, we can't believe it. Thanks so much for watching friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I suggest that you make a thumbnail of John grinning while holding up the sweet potato and the watermelon. That's such a beautiful, complex picture. Name the picture, the record breaking farmer. Just lovely.
Thanks for the advice Joetta 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Wow what a great job with the sweet potatoes! My heart melts listening to Crusoe get so excited. When he hugged Sawyer it was so sweet. I’ve never seen any child get so involved with daily chores and loving it. He is such a big help already, just imagine what he’ll be like as he gets older! He is going to know how to do so much, it’s incredible. I wish I would have gotten my daughter more involved in day to day chores. She might know how to do more for herself now. You two are wonderful parents!!! I love you all! Can’t wait for the new house! 👍❤️
Thanks so much Heidi! That’s so kind! Big hugs from the boys and a huge thank you from us all for watching. 🙏❤️
Hi sweeties going to be exciting 😮the new house 🏡
Thanks Helen!
Hi Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer.
This week's video just popped up as I was just about to go to bed. I hope you aren't taking too much of a battering with the stormy weather and are safe and dry.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone so excited about sweet potatoes. And like always Crusoe was there in the thick of things pulling up the sweet potatoes as much as he could. It's good to see Crusoe enjoys the vegetable garden as much as you do. Cheers until next time.
Hello Sandra. We had an absolute ball lifting up all of our sweet potatoes! Thanks for watching this episode before you went to bed, your support means so much 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
My favorite moment was Crusoe running into your arms Tara with his biggest smile ever and glee. To be cuddled, caressed and having his face kissed all over melted my heart. To be taught so young what love is, is being deeply ingrained in his being. One King said, "Enter the Kingdom like a little child". This moment portrayed the saying brilliant ly. To be greeted and loved completely is a beautiful to watch. I love watching you love on your children Tara.❤❤
Good Sunday morning, John, Tara, Crusoe & Sawyer ❤👋 from a wet and dreary morning turn to joy 😮
I never seen digging up sweet potatoes to be so exciting and so much fun . Love you guys ❤ 🍠🍠🍠
Hello Doria! We had such a blast digging up al our sweet potatoes. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I had a vision of Crusoe running around the garden assessing the storm damage! Poor Huckleberry lost his head but saved his smile! 😊😊! The roof held together another testament of Johns great work! Congratulations on that great potato harvest Wow!! 🎉🎉 🤯🤯🚜🚙🚚
Thanks so much Linda, we are so thankful that we don't have much damage on the farm. This sweet potato harvest definitely put the biggest smiles on our faces. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
GOODMORNING! It's 6:30am in NYC and I'm making cookies for a fundraiser. Hope everyone is doing fabulous.
Good luck to the NYC Marathoners today!
Yum yum Cindy! Thanks so much for watching friend 🌧️🥔 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Good morning! The change of time also walk me up early here in Jersey and what a better way to start the morning with @thenewbys
GOD BLESS EACH of YOU. I prayed for you ALL in JESUS'S NAME AMEN to be safe, protection, Peace Love, strength.
Buena cosecha de patatas dulces!al horno están buenísimas!!
Good Day from the US
Happy SWEET Sunday Newby family, this episode should be called the TREASURE HUNT FOR SWEET POTATOES, and what is so sweet is Crusoe showing Sawyer that humongous Batata Doce, and to close with that SWEET brotherly hug, beautiful ending to another adventure with the Portuguese family Newby. Returning much sweetness to ALL of you.👏🏡🇵🇹🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏💖🌺🦋P.S. that picture intro of you Tara and Sawyer, so obvious he looks like you.
Thank you so much Joanne, we all had a blast digging up the sweet potatoes! What a fun time to spend as a family. Thank you for always supporting us and for sharing such kind words 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
@@TheNewbys you are most welcome Tara, John, lovely Crusoe and Sawyer, you are the highlight and ending with JOY of a great past week. We love to see you ALL, we know they are ups and downs but nothing hurts to HAVE FAITH LIKE POTATOES.🙏🥰💖🌺🦋🌅
What a huge harvest!!!🎉🎉🎉 congratulations!!!! And how sweet, Crusoe bends down to Saywer while talking to his brother, how sweeeet❤❤❤
It was enormous! Thanks so much for watching Margarethe 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Caruso's delighted at the sweet potato harvest was quite lovely to see. Such simple pleasure is entirely contagious.
Another awesome video, John loves his lawn😊 Crusoe is such a joy I’ve been watching your old videos of your Africa trip 😊
I just watched the Africa shows. Fun and interesting. 😊
FYI pine straw takes years to compost. It’s great as winter mulch in flower beds.
That sweet potato harvest is absolutely amazing!! Love the comparison against the watermelon at the end!! Brilliant!! 😂
Today's episode reminds me of digging potatoes with my grandmother. She would lift and loosen the soil with a garden fork and I would pick up the potatoes and place in her large garden basket.
Great memory Jana! ❤️❤️
Watching the family harvesting your sweet potatoes was very exciting! Also I see the roof is on your outside deck looks beautiful. Holding up under all that wind in rain held together should mark you very proud! Great Job!
Great episode - lovely to see your harvest and how you engage Crusoe who delights in and appreciate the simple things! So glad you are getting decent rain.
Thanks Steffen 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Good afternoon! Thanks for another great episode. I love how the kids are getting more and more involved in the farm! They seem to enjoy themselves so much. 😊
Hello Dave! We love being able to share these moments with our boys, it is very special 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Crusoe's face when he was looking at the teeny tiny sweet potato, I was laughing out loud. Love that we are going to see him happy jumping in his puddles again soon.🥰🥰🥰
❤️🙏👍
The most important thing is the well-being of the entire family, everything else can be recomposed while teaching us a lesson and preparing us for the future.
Gargantuan! Gigantic! Colossal! Mammoth! Tremendous! So many grand words for a tiny mouth to exclaim over such a harvest!
Wow! Your sweet potatoes are fantastic, out of this world. Congratulations on your first harvest. 🤩❤
Thanks Edna 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Extraordinary sweet potatoes harvest,and it's only the first one. Crusoe so happy watching at them, he gave a big hug to his little brother.
The heavy rain ,after John 's tyding up around is already forgotten.
Unfortunately great worries happen to be reality when you live on a farm,but the important is to make yourself accept this. Love whatever you're up to❤❤❤
This harvest put the biggest smiles on our faces Luisa! Worries to tend to come when living on a farm but we will always try remain positive. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
That was a huge potato dos party 🎉 🎉 So much fun watching Crusoe being so excited 😅 And the hug he gave to Sawyer was so sweet. ❤
It's "doce", not "dos". 😉
@@module79l28 Oops, I learned something today I guess 😊
It was so satisfying seeing John rake the grass, of course it looks easy when you speed it up, but what a difference! great job....glad you are all safe and sound - at the end of the day, it's all that matters, xxxx
Things are always easier when you speed them up 😂 Thanks so much for watching friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Linda a batata doce terra fértil,ver a satisfação da colheita são agricultores de primeira. O vosso guardião perdeu a cabeça. Que ternura os vossos filhos. Beijinhos grandes família linda.
They are amazing Rosari. Yum yum! Thanks so much for watching friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
You might like to know that her name is not Rosari, but Rosa. The "ri" bit is part of her surname "Ribeiro" -- a common enough family name in Portugal; and, of course, "Rosa" is Portuguese for "Rose"@@TheNewbys
Great video all the same. Very impressive the size of those sweet potatoes. It's great to have such fertile soil on your property. You will be truly excellent gardeners in no time at all.
Omgoodness! I loved the end where Crusoe was telling Sawyer about the sweet potatoes, then gave him a hug! 🥰Precious little boys! 💙💙 Those sweet potatoes looked awesome! I love to ear them also! Give the boys a big hug for me! Take care & stay safe! 💜🙏
Thanks Teresa! Crusoe and Sawyer send lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for watching. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏
@@TheNewbys you're so very welcome! 🥰
Harvesting sweet potatoes just beat Christmas morning! Great job Tara your hard work has paid off fantastic! ~Cara 🥰
We had an absolute blast Cara! We knew sweet potatoes could make us all so excited. Thanks so much for watching friend, see you on Wednesday 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Ahh, hi guys. Such a sweet vlog. Crusoe's excitement over the sweet potatoes was so darling. That was a great haul by the way. Crusoe and Sawyer at the end was adorable. ❤

Com a ajuda de Deus vocês vão vencer tudo, muita força ❤❤😍
Thanks so much friend 🌧️🥔 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Tara Sawyer is so looks so like you.
Oh, all of those lovely Pineneedles. I would so use those for mulch my flower beds. The lawn is looking great!
Thanks so much friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I love how excited Crusoe gets about plants and vegetables. Such a loving little guy.
Love the excitement of the sweet potatoes!!!! Ya'll sound like me when Mother Nature gives me her bounty. Have a great week.
Thanks so much friend! 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Wow guys, wow guys!! That was epic!! Great job Tara who planted those potatoes and of course to Crusoe , John and Sawyer who helped harvesting. Congratulations 🎉❤❤❤❤. Amazing video!!
Thank you Frances!
"It's enormous, there's so many", brilliant. The excitement was pouring out of him, and Jon 😂😂😂😂. Well done with your planting Tara.
Thanks Liz!!
So sweet Caruso and his enormous Sweet Potato.cuuute❤
I so enjoyed you guys digging up your sweet.potatoes that you grew on your very own,I think I was just excited asyou were and then at the end.Crusoe tells Sawyer all abou it and gives him a big hug, it was so cute, it brought tears to my eyes
Thanks Mary!!
I'm laughing along with you guys! That one sweet potato was the size of a cantaloupe.❤❤ Crusoe kept saying, "that's enormous!" 😂😂
Wow, I don't think I have ever seen such big sweet potatoes, enjoy them
Veggies in the greenhouse look beautiful! My favourite is the Newbies, Martijn Doolaard and Nomadic Movement, very hot here in South Africa, miss the kids today❤
Thanks Ronelda! Your support means so much to us 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
@@TheNewbys I saw the kiddies are there🤣🤣
I watch Martijn Doolaard as well. It’s a great show. I’ve learnt so much about solar panels & battery set up. He is such a hard worker. His property is going to be amazing when finished. Cheers Noeline Australia.🙏🇦🇺❤️
@@noelineleary4298 Hi Noeline, yes, I absolutely love his setup, but the Newbies are such a cute family, I adore them, greetings South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Sweet potatoes yeah yeah yeah 😃, you’re exuberance with the bountiful crop had me jumping with joy . Thankyou John and Tara for sharing these special times ❤️
Thanks Cheri!! ❤️❤️
6x2 pieces of wood on the green house roof. the wind and rain in France has just been non stop I hate it. batten down the hatches wouldn't it be good if we do a clear up like the fast forward with John, that would be cool lol xx
Sorry to hear about the weather there friend! Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
And yet it’s still a stunning life for many generations to come. You two are the pilgrims of your time. Absolutely 💯 stellar. Please never stop.
What a difference it made to the lawn to have it swept of leaves and general detritus 😍
Thank you Madeleine! 🙏
Cutest potato picking ever, and the little hug for brother at the end!! Priceless
The quality of those shirts looks great! No wonder John has worn them for months 👏🏼 perfect Christmas gift for the men in my life! Thanks for sharing these special moments with us. ❤️❤️
The Ts are very good you’re right! Almost Christmas too! Thanks Nicole!
The ending : when love just knocks you over 🥰
Those are massive sweet potatoes 🍠!!! Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾
So sweet isn't it Holly haha Thanks so much for watching friend. We are all sending you lots of love 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Hi guys I live on a coastal plain in Australia . Our soil is shocking it is sand not soil and like yours water just washes over it. I can put sprinklers on for an hour, looks like it’s very wet then move the “soil” bone dry under the tiny wet layer may use washing up liquid on lawns but you can also put on light bit of chicken manure …of course flower beds a lot easier …lots of compost and manure
Hi Ingrid. That is very interesting, thanks for sharing. We will definitely try put some compost and manure on the lawn 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I can related to the great delight of harvesting produce you grew yourself!
I love that you are teaching the boys advanced vocabulary and Portuguese! Teaching them as you learn Portuguese helps you remember the new words too!
Excellent parenting!
We are so happy about that harvest friend, they are so delicious too! Thanks so much for watching and for this lovely compliment, it means the world 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
your enthusiasm with the sweat potatoes was highly contagious, i was cheering tremendously for you to get massive ones. much love Newbys.
We are so happy we could share this excitement with you friend! It was amazing. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
28:49 The picking of sweet potatoes & Cursoe’s excitement and taking the rake, or whatever the tool is called, and pushed to reveal all those sweet potatoes was EPIC!!!!!😂❤❤❤❤ He’s adorable! When he gets older and helping pick, don’t be surprise if he doesn’t come in for meals. He’s getting his meals out fresh! 😅
We all had SO much fun Anna! Thanks so much for watching friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Exuberant joy and super bonding watching your channel. Thanks for bringing so much of happiness and spoil my day with smiling face.
☀️☀️😉good morning Newby Family! Nothing more satisfying than finding fresh veggies in your garden esp your first time growing! Please let us know how the sweet potatoes taste :)
🙏🙏❤️❤️ thanks team! ❤️
Watching you every Sunday morning is better than going to any church to Maine your boys make my heart so happy you're so lucky to have such a good little family growing and I am so blessed to be able to watch you thank you❤
I have to say your boys are so precious. I love how Crusoe is with his little brother.
Lovely to purchase a property and so rewarding to do it up yourself. Wow you guys work incredibly hard. Well done. 🇿🇼
I’m a Portuguese man, and I love your family and your farm is very great… congratulations!
Thank you Samuel!
I simply love watching little Crusoe get so excited about those sweet potatoes. Those are the biggest sweet potatoes I've seen
So good!
Well done on the sweet potatoes! Crusoe finds such joy in the garden and its so fun to see ❤😅
Crusoe's excitement was contagious. He was as excited about sweet potatoes as if on a treasure hunt!
It was so fun too wach your sweet potato harvest. The joy was contagious. ❤️
Good Morning from
S.A., Texas. Love waking up, tend to my dog, and then plop on my sofa to watch The Newbys! ❤ Love it!
Send some rain this way! Plz!
I can imagine how rain can be so over, overwhelming! More so with kids! ❤
Hello Anna, thanks so much for sharing your Sunday with us. We love hearing from you and appreciate you 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
you could soften the soil near instantly by piling on 6 inches of wood chips around the fruit trees ( aka Back to Eden garden by Paul Gautschi)
Hi Newbys, the sweet potatoes are just so awesome! What an epic experience for Crusoe, finding them in the ground and pulling them out with his super excited parents ❤ It was magical to watch it happen.
Thanks so much Frances, we are so happy about the harvest! Your support means so much to us, thanks friend 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
World's largest sweet potato just made my day. Great harvest!
Such a delight to see your son being so excited about the sweet potatoes. What a fabulous harvest!
Oh your excitement is contagious, sitting here watching I’m ready to find the next sweet potato! Love that Cursoe is right there too, Sawyer in his Wellies, brotherly hugs! My heart🥰
We are so happy to hear that Kathy! This harvest has put the biggest smiles on our faces. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Oh what joy to dig under plants and there are sweet potatoes!. I shared Crusoe's joy in the discovery. That little boy will always love gardening.
Oh that was so cute when Crusoe discovered the "enormous" potatoes! I love the yellow flesh sweet potatoes....enjoy!!! Awwww that was so cute when Crusoe was explaining to Sawyer all about potatoes. Again, you started off my day with a smile!
Hi Newbys, how much fun to see you find the sweet potatoes. And seeing Crusoe talk and hug Sawyer is priceless! Blessings to all. Stay well.
Thanks so much Iniabelle! Their relationship is just the sweetest. 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹

Tge sweet potatoes are huge ,thd soil is for sure very good!!
Love my Sundays so I can watch the Newby s❤
Thank you Dina! ❤️🙏
Just a few suggestions about pine needles. They are perfect for acid loving plants John. Your azaleas will love them. Here's a list of other veggies and flowers that do well with pine needles.
Pine needles interlock and stay in place even on landscapes that are on a slope. The interlocking of pine needles keeps them from being blown out of landscapes and gardens during strong winds and storms.
Some fruits and vegetables that do great in pine straw are:
Blueberries
Bog Rosemary
Cranberries
Garlic
Mint (Herb)
Onions
Potatoes
Raspberries
Strawberries
TomatoesGardenias
Holly
Hydrangeas
Mountain Ash
Mums
Pine
Rhododendrons
Roses
Spruce
Western River BirchAmaryllis
Azaleas
Bluebell
Camellias
Chrysanthemum
Columbine
Dahlias
Daisies
Daylilies
Dogwood
Fir Trees.
Love your flower gardens, John.❤🌷🌹🌻
Thanks Jackie. Great tips and advice friend. 🙏❤️
I just love watching the enjoyment on all your faces. The boy's are growing fast, love watching them!
That was a great video❤crusoe is such a good helper. Sawyer is as cute has you can get. Hugs to you all
Thank you Kay! ❤️🙏
Chickens can withstand cold but don’t do well when wet. You will need to find a way to keep their shelter completely dry or you could have sickness. Also, bedding needs to be kept dry.
Thanks friend, we will definitely make a plan 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
These storms are so horrible now. We've had a few here, including one last year which ripped our kitchen roof off. Love Crusoe being so excited with the sweet potatoes, and well done with the harvest. Sending love to all xx
Blimey Jenny! The kitchen roof! Hope everyone was Ok. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
I can see where some little artwork has been added to the side of the chicken coop. Very cute and you will love seeing it as the years pass. Are you or may I suggest a growth chart… we have a special doorway where all three of our kids were measured as they grew. It’s really fun to look at it with the etched marks, name and dates. Happy days!❤
Love this idea Laura! Thanks friend. 🙏❤️
Loved everything about this video…and it was so much fun to see the sweet potato harvest!👏🏻😁❤️❤️❤️
Not me 😊sitting here grinning ear to ear at the Newbys digging up sweet potatoes. I love it!
Thanks Stacia!!
My mother used to love digging up potatoes. She felt it was like finding treasure!
Briefly lived on a farm when a child. My favorite memory is digging up potatoes with my family. Like digging for treasure! ❤❤. Thank you for bringing that memory back to me!
We all had such a blast digging them up friend. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I ❤ that Crusoe's answer to wearing Wellies is bare feet. Boy after my own heart.
❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on the sweet potatoes! They are epic!! Love the interaction between Crusoe & Sawyer....so sweet ❣️❤️🇨🇦
HEY Y'ALL, SO MUCH SWEET POTATO FUN AND KIDS ARE SO EXCITED!!!! Giant fun in the garden.
There's something magical about the simplicity of a perfectly cooked sweet potatoes 😊🤗kiss and hugs ❤❤❤❤
They are delicious Svetlana. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Congratulation on your first sweet potato crop!! You will have delicious meals for a good while😋😋😋 That precious hug that Crusoe gave Sawyer speaks volumes on the love you share in your family❤❤❤❤
Thanks Mary, we are STOKED about this crop! Thanks so much for watching and for always supporting 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I've heard that youtube asks people to focus on the negative but you live in Paradise. You're very blessed. Your boys are getting so big and so smart. RUclips should encourage the "the storm was crazy but we survived really well" attitude.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Judy, we are trying our very best to be positive about everything in life. Thanks so much for watching 🌧️🍠 🙌🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
