After watching your method of growing slips in soil last year, I planted in cat litter boxes. I got 10 times or more the number of slips that I'd ever gotten by the water method.
Good Morning Mr Danny & Wanda well it's Saturday morning here in Arkansas Van Buren, 20th . Watchin y'all plant sweet potatoes; so in the deep south what town city do y'all live if I may ask that 😮😂❤love ur videos keepem comeing hey send me a manual if ya can if not I understand an thank y'all ?GODBLESS you both the best video ever!!😅😊❤ Praying for you both daily.
Is it just me or has anyone else told you that you look a little like Eddie Rabbitt? Thanks so much for all the information you put out here for us rookies and even for the seasoned veterans on here who’ve been gardening forever. I haven’t and in the last couple years I’ve been really struggling to learn it. I’m always grateful when somebody is just no-nonsense and gives good advice on how to make it work. Blessings to you and yours!☺️🦋🎼
I've got a copy of your sweet potato manual, it's well worth the money! Danny, I know that "experimenting" must get tiresome, but I'll tell you what...your experiments save me a LOT of time, giving me a chance to see what works, and how and why!
I can testify to the fact that this method works. I had a beautiful harvest last year thanks to Danny and Wanda. This is just one of the reasons I love DSH.
For those with long growing seasons once your sweet potatoes start Vining out good bury the vine every couple of feet at the nodes. They will root again and each spot you buried will basically be another slip that will make more sweet potatoes.
I am planting beareguard potatoes to grow my slips. I have learned from you the master of gardening. Thanks you so much for the education. You & Wanda are truly wonderful people. God bless both of you.
I plant my sweet tater tubers in a container like you do and it works great. I should probably mention once the slips grow, I snap them off and put them in 40+ gallon storage bins with good drainage, grow lights and I vermicompost-all inside my 2 bedroom apartment
I ordered a 100 slips of Carolina Ruby for May 1st this year, but after watching your video I might try this next year with what I hopefully grow this year.
Thank you Mr Danny , Still recovering from my back fusion then got sepis- Doesn't look like a garden for us this year - I'm still on IV Rocephin 2MG infusions daily and then sleep at least 4 hours after - But Thank God I made It out of the hospital with all my limbs , but my back fusion will take some time . Prayers seriously needed . God bless you & beautiful Mrs Wanda . Josette Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
I tried every way of growing sweet potato slips. This is no fail y'all. Danny my granddaughter always says did the sweet potato man show you how to do that
I have 2 store bought sweet potatos and have them in glass jars on porch in water, they are doing great I have 8 blue mineral tubs just waiting to start growing 😁 I buy more slips from Greg Hoss last year was my first year growing I did 1 45gal tub and got a good bit so now going from 1 to 8 tubs 😊 it’s just me so that gives me plenty to can up and eat fresh.
I started one seed tray with tiny whit sweet potatoes last year and harvested 150 pounds. Put the in the tray in March, planted June 1, cut the thick roots out like a pan of brownies, harvested in October. Had some BIG ones. A good amount of vole damage.
I start my sweet potatos inside for slips, pot up the slips on the back deck in a sheltered location, and then I plant them in the ground AFTER summer starts. The sweet potatos just hate the cool springs here, and so they live in pots so that I can protect them from the wind and take them in if we have a cool snap. While we have longer than a 90 day growing season we do not have much more over 90 days of WARM weather. Beauregard and Georgia Jet have done well for us
I live in Northwest Minnesota, zone 3 and just started my sweet potatoes. I typically plant out the first weekend of June and harvest in September after the first killing frost. Just a heads up. They been hammering us with a ton of snow up here and you are going to be hit with flooding when the snow melts. Tomorrow is the First of April and I believe they are going to cause a rapid melt in April, causing flash flooding in the southern plains. Farmers are going to be locked out of their crop fields by the flooding.
Arkansas zone 7 and we have an ice storm this week and possibly another in the near future. Allowing my sweet potato slips grow inside for now. You keep me on track since you are just a bit ahead of me. Thank you
After I bought your manual on sweet potatoes. I got plenty of slips. Animals got them. This year I have my garden fenced in. Praying I get plenty this year. Thanks for all you do.
We finally were able to get some property early fall of 22 (in KY)-didn't get much in the ground besides some garlic and some saffron crocuses- which somehow survived the -1 temps we had for a few days! Excited to actually put that manual I've been hanging onto for a couple years now to use. Thanks Mister Danny and Miss Wanda
I love watching you plant so much. After mom passed we lost her multiple onions and hope to find some to replace them. If you sell them please let me know
Thank you brother Danny for sharing your wisdom I believe you inspire all of us IMHO. I live in zone 8 or 8A here in DFW Texas. We are doubling our garden
Been growing them here in Queensland Australia, next time I will plant them in a bigger location. They took over and grew like mad. Still growing probably weeks before harvest. The Dutch Cream potatoes also need more room. Going to need a bigger garden. Tomatoes also grow well. Lettuce too. Need to find more that survives our beginner attempts. Storing them is another issue too.
Have you tried Swiss chard? It takes a bit for them to germinate but they will give you greens even though 115f heat and produce till first hard freeze. Have a mild spinach taste, I love it In omelets, soups, casseroles and fresh salads also if grown around cabbage the moths don’t like them neither do spider mites and are very resilient.
Good Morning Mr. Danny and Wanda, I'm located in Zone 8a Coastal Carolina and was going to try to grow slips this year. Thank you for sharing!!! I can't believe they band you from selling slips. Have a Blessed Day!!
I'm up in zone 4 and I'm excited that this will be the first year we're growing sweet potatoes since our Amish neighbor traded us some of their homegrown sweet potatoes for our pumpkins. I wasn't sure when to start the slips or how fast they grow as I haven't done my research yet. I'm glad you said 3-4 weeks since that is when we'll be starting our onions and celery. In past years I've just looked online to find out when to plant for my area but this year I am keeping a journal of when I need to plant, how much I planted and various other info I will need about the plants so I can keep referring to that instead of relying on the internet.
Thank you, Mr Danny. I think I’m in 7b. I’m going to check again to make sure. I’m praying this will be the year for potatoes at my house. We have tried for the past 2 years and haven’t had much success, but we are not giving up.
Good morning Mr Danny. Excited to start my sweet potatoes here in the next few weeks. NE Ohio. Will try your technique because mine didn't work last year and had to buy starter sweet potato plants. Thanks for all the knowledge you're passing on to us. 🕊💜🙏🏽💪🏽🌱🌱🌱
Thank you Danny and Wanda for sharing! Being in a new state this year, different soil etc your knowledge will help us to avoid as many mistakes as possible! THANK YOU! God Bless and keep y'all!
I Bought 400 pounds of Seed potatoes for this year and ordered a couple hundred onion sets and now i'm still trying to find Raw peanut seeds. My First 20x60 greenhouse is almost setup inside to grow tomatoes and strawberries and if the mud would cooperate i'll get the second greenhouse built and set up for a different variety of Mater, the Rare "Jersey" sauce making tomato. I Think we are getting ALL of the rain we are going to get for the year now here in the foothills of Virginia and i have both of my 2500 gallon water storage tanks full right now and i'm setting up the greenhouses with outside gutters to catch the rain and keep the tanks full as i use them so i don't tap into my precious well water. I think just like you are preaching about preparing now if you haven't already is good wisdom and the Lord will bless those that work hard and steady.
We live in Sweden and now when I need to start to grow the slips it's too cold to grow them in the tunnel so I have to grow them in the house. Last day of chance of frost is April the 21 here. Interesting to see how you do it anyhow. :) Thank you!
Are you serious the 21 of april up there? I’m in Portugal and my last esperienced frost was beginning of may, almost the same as when l still lived in Belgium, l think it’s the 25th of may up there.. just had a slight frost this morning again.. anywho, have a great growing season 🪴🌳
Thk. You Mr. Danny, this was awesome., simple, and timely.I appreciate all that you and Mrs. Wanda do for all of us, you guys are such a blessing, to so many!!!
I had some sitting on the counter in my pantry and they have put out slips! Sweet potatoes are such a wonderful blessing❤ Thank you for another great video. Blessings from river swamp
Thank you Danny I am looking forward to ordering your ever growing onions and since I am in zone 8b I am starting my sweet potato slips thank you for your time and effort in showing us how to get growing
So glad you told how long it takes for the slips to come up and when to plant,our last freeze date is usually May 15 ,southern Ohio near the Ohio river,thank you so much
I have the white sweet potatoes growing in containers right now. Some should be ready to harvest later in February. They did not like the artic blast in December but bounced back. I love growing them. It’s really hard down here in Zone 10a in SW Florida with our sub tropical monsoon summers and winter droughts, but sweet potatoes flourish. Not a lot of pest problems either. I think I first learned about the white ones from your channel. Thank you 💙
Hi Danny & Wanda. We have your manual and it's a wealth of knowledge. Our problem is every time we plant in the ground the fire ants kill everything. We use the warm method to speed up the warming of the soil. So for now we are growing all potatoes and sweet potatoes in 30 gallon pots on our grow table. God bless, Mike
Hey there Danny and Wanda. We recently moved to NC from Ohio and have already been growing my slips inside they are beautiful. Not sure when to put them outside here. We're in zone 8 a. I don't have a high tunnel though that is my goal. I wanted to say I do love y'all channel and have learned so much. Thank y'all for solutions rather then scarring everyone I don't watch TV because of that mess Keep up the good work Love yall
We have slips that still grow where we had sweet potatoes growing years ago. I also have a small raised bed, where I have sweet potatoes "planted" for slips. We grow them year around. We harvest a few pounds every month.
How do you grow them all year long? I have a small greenhouse but I always thought it got too cold even in there during winter. I thought about taking those little tiny ones that I grew this year that we didn’t eat, i’m going ahead and putting them in a big pot like he’s doing and covering it with some soil and then hay on top and just leaving it in my greenhouse. I’ve never done it before and it took me three years of trying just to get a very small crop of sweet potatoes this year. But I was extremely proud of those! TIA for any tips you’ve got! I’m in central west Texas.
@@evelyny7037 We are located in South Florida. We seldom get a hard frost, and the few nights a year we do, I harvest all of the greens for the rabbits right before the frost. The potatoes underground aren't affected, and keep producing greens. I have better harvests in the warmer months. Right now I have 4 or 5 large pots growing that should be harvested late December/early January. I have a shallow raised bed, that I grow my "slips" in. When I don't need slips for planting, I cut them for the rabbits, chickens and turkeys. I replant as soon as I harvest.
Well, our climate is a little bit tougher as far as we do get some severe frost and they can be extended. Last year I just started with my slips in about January and then moved them outside of course in the spring. Just really hoping for a way to just stick some either in the ground and then cover them with soil and hay and just kinda let them sit there and get started because I think I might protect them like that. Anyway, thx for the advice! ☺️☀️
It's that time again isn't it?!! I'm so excited!! I'm going to get my seeds and s. Pot. slips started this weekend. Frankie PS) I sure wish you'd consider writing a manual on growing onions and garlic.

Great tip, thank you so much. I can get litter boxes at Dollar Tree.
I did also and lots of potatoes
Wow! Thanks for sharing Randy, I'm encouraged!
Can you eat the leaves of a sweet potato
@@stephaniegerrins5137 Both the leaves and stems are edible and are used in Asian dishes. The stems have a taste very similar to asparagus.

I'm learning so much from your videos. I grew up in a farm, but there's always more to learn, to plant, fertilize, weed and harvest.
Good morning brother!
Good morning brother we got some much needed rain here nothing bad.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Nice!
Good morning all, Wishing all a good week. Thanks Danny and Wanda

Thank you for showing practical things we can do this year. Giving knowledge is more valuable than selling us the slips.
We love our Georgia Jet's good output and sweet.
Oh yes I remember y'all and Mrs lippy getting so many slips, they were Nice.
For those with long growing seasons once your sweet potatoes start Vining out good bury the vine every couple of feet at the nodes. They will root again and each spot you buried will basically be another slip that will make more sweet potatoes.

You voice narrated in my head. I bought and planted onions and garlics. Ft Worth area.
I have that growing manual and I'm looking first to starting my slips! Thanks for the warm water tip.
Yall are such an inspiration, got me thining about how I can apply this to my situation, much love from Texas!
Thanks for the advise. Considering to plant sweet potatoes this year, as I am expanding my growing space in my urban neighborhood.

Well, do you have holes the the Walmart plastic tray? And do you water them? Was waiting to hear..
No holes in the tray. Only water if it is getting dry. Too wet and it rots the potatoes
In central FLorida the last average frost date is Feb 14th.
I am 8a so I guess I can do this now too. Thanks Danny.
I water all my houseplants with warm water. They are gorgeous
Beautiful sweet potatoes they'll make great slips.

Hey there Danny and Wanda. We recently moved to NC from Ohio and have already been growing my slips inside they are beautiful. Not sure when to put them outside here. We're in zone 8 a. I don't have a high tunnel though that is my goal. I wanted to say I do love y'all channel and have learned so much. Thank y'all for solutions rather then scarring everyone
