That looks like a yellow-striped armyworm. You may not realize it, but you are good therapy for other couples. May the Lord bless you and keep you and your beautiful family.
I grow a LOT of sweet potatoes and two years ago, I started growing my sweet potatoes in a dedicated plot and about two weeks before harvest, I surround it with electric netting and turn about five goats out there. All I give them for two weeks is water. They clear that patch and I just have to dig. I have no fight with vines. They eat them right down to the stems. So Andy you are almost on point. Cows too big; goats just right. 👍🏽
You can make fried sweet potato pies. There used to be a lady at Denton every year that sold fried pies and her best were always the sweet potato. Years ago, Grandma used to make sweet potato cobblers that were delicious. Great harvest. Y'all have a great day!
A friend of mine were talking today and come to find out she watches your channel too and we just had the best time talking about ya’ll and your garden and I told her that I love your channel
My favorite part of this video is when Megan told Andy that next time he might listen to her. I laughed and laughed and watched over and over. It's awesome to see the love you two have for one another. ❤
I love sweet potatoes. I do like my Mom did. Grease the potatoes and bake a pan full. Just heat one up, cut open add a little salt and butter, you have the best snack or dessert. Then there are those wonderful pies and casseroles. It's all good. Have a blessed day!
Fried sweet potatoes are delicious place some butter in skillet add sliced sweet potatoes , when potatoes start to get tender place a couple of tabs water and a cup of brown sugar. Add lid on skillet , the burger, water and brown sugar makes a yummy sauce . 😊
Beautiful family...loved watching the kids out in the fresh air pullin' vines, getting exercise and having fun. All children should grow up like this. ❤
Those big sweet potatoes are great for making mashed sweet potatoes. Just cut up and boil like regular potatoes,. Add butter and cinnamon, and mash them up.
When we end up growing them and always have a few of those big ones. We can part of them. And boil part of them and mash them and put 2 cups of mashed taters in freezer bags. Then when we need some for pies we already have them ready just need to thaw them out. And the canned ones we use for sliced sweet potato cobblers Sure enjoy y’all. Y’all do so much just like we do.
Beautiful harvest! My husband's aunt made her sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving in a cast iron skillet. Gently boiled, then the butter, brown sugar, and a few shakes of black pepper. Really good! Got my few slips out late with vines climbing up into tomato cages (per Flutey Lick), so several more weeks to go. Perfect for a little garden!
A friend taught me how to bake sweet potatoes. Wash , cut off ends place whole in iron skillet. Add water half way up the inside of pan. Cover whole pan with foil. Bake on 400°. Until tender. Some of the most moist sweet potatoes ever.
You can also bake your sweet potato and freeze them When ever you hungry for baked sweet potato you can heat them in a microwave are oven. And they taste the same
We slice the big ones into rounds, fry them and put brown sugar on top to melt in while the bottom is browning. About 1' thick. Any left over get made into gnocci (add flour and spices of your choice to make a dough, make ropes then cut about 1", then boil...when they come to the top, they're done. Good with butter.)
Congratulations on your great sweet potato crop! I love Beauregard and planted just one 4’x8’ bed this year that netted close to 40 pounds. Some of them were HUGE but most were good baking size. Considering I’m the only one in our house who eats them, that will be plenty! Mine were ready about 6 weeks ago +/-, and after I removed the vines, I left the bed until I could get back to it. Well, next thing you know, I have tons of sweet potato vines coming up in that bed. I’d say that I obviously missed a few potatoes. I’m going to dig them out before our first frost. They won’t have a full 100 days to grow but who knows….there could be some good edible Beauregards under there!
Hi yall, you could take the big ones and cut them into cubes, wedges, or slices and out them in a casserole dish . I cut up butter, the more the better, in the bottom if your casserole dish. Then season them how you like them. Cloves, cinnamon , all spice, ir pumpkin spice. Bake at 350 until tender. I take some if the liquid and dip the potatoes into it before I eat it. Yum yum . You could do that with the small ones, it would just take more. I love yall
This video was so fun! I loved the surprise of how big or small the sweet potatoes were when you dug them up! Love that the whole family works together!
My brother turned our horses in on our sweet tater patch to graze them down, and they did a great job. Then they pawed up every sweet tater and ate them to. I'll never forget that . Gotta laugh when yall mentioned about those cows grazing there.
Those large ones would make some good french fries. You don't have to bake for casserole. Slice up and cook like making mashed potatoes, Slice up and put in fry pan fry with butter and a little brown sugar. and make candied sweet potatoes.
Watching yall a couple hour's late and excited watching all of you digging them sweet tators. It makes me want to get my pitch fork and start digging mine up. I'm sure they'll be small like last year's. I only have a small square of a spot. But, I enjoy watching yall because you show exactly what Family is!! You two were raised that way and your children will follow in your foot steps. That's awesome. And always no matter what thank our Heavenly Father for what you have been Blessed with. Have a blessed day!!
You all are so funny together. I see a lot of work going on but I also feel a lot of love going on. You all work really good together. Your soil looks real sandy and probably perfect for sweet potatoes.
I grow my sweet potatoes in car tires and I've gotten a 5 gallon bucket out of 6 tires and have 6 more tires too dig. I've been waiting because the tire I dig had 2 nice one and 5 thumb sized ones . And another patch that went in late so I will over them will a mini green house.
Take those huge ones and cut them up in bite size chunks, I like to drizzle olive oil or any oil on them and salt and roast them with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, that little bit of sweet with the vegetables is so good, you can also cook and mash them and freeze it for pies later,
I get big sweet potatoes and put foil around them then poke a steam hole or two in the foil and potato. Putt them on a baking pan with edges to catch any juice in the oven at 400. Takes about 45 minutes to get done. Delicious.
Fried sweet potato pies are delicious!!! Just do them the same way you fry your apple pies!! My granny baked her pies instead of frying them they were always good to!! Our favorites are the fried peach pies. Sweet home Alabama
Just wanted to let ya'll know that I really appreciate your videos. My daughter showed me, and I am hooked on watching. Keep it up ya'll are doing great!❤❤❤
I would use those big sweet potatoes for french fries or mash them the same way you would regular potatoes. Yummy! I just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago. I love it!
Put the whole potato leave skin on and put in a pot of water and boil till tender. You can cut it in smaller sections then slice open just like a baked potato and add butter. Easier and quicker than baking them in the oven
I plant slips in my garden really just for fun . It really doesn’t matter if I get some or not because I’m Blessed to have across the woods is the Daw farm . And they plant many fields of sweet potatoes here in Wayne county NC . And after they get what they want we can pick for days . I have boxes full to last me all winter. One thing I did fine in my greenhouse I planted two potatoes for slips last year . I got plenty of slips and just left the rest . Danny on Deep South said you will not get sweet potatoes by planting a sweet potato to grow slips from . Will I did two potatoes gave me around 6 or 8 sweet potatoes. And one was larger than the one you guys picked . I was amazed to fine them hiding under the soil. And after I got my slips I didn’t water them any more . So sweet potatoes are the hardest plant I know.
Meghan try peeling and dicing those big sweet potatoes. Cook them in butter and cinnamon with a little water to start, in a fry pan. Can add a little brown sugar if desired. So good.
That was a very good video you guys got a lot of sweet potatoes I make sweet potatoes, so many different ways but I candy them I cook them then I candy them with butter and brown sugar and a little regular sugar. Let them cool off and you can put them in Ziploc freezer bags and they will the last a long time whenever you want to bring it out they’re so good, thanks for the video❤
Those tomatoes look like lemon boy tomatoes. I've only grown them once (I didn't care much for them either) but they are excellent for adding to end of season slicers for that last push canning of tomato products.
I think a Bird dropped a Morning Glory seed in your Pumpkin Patch! I buy the big Yams and you're right it takes more time to cook. I'm now putting them in my pressure Cooker, unpeeled. The peels just come right off and the pulp is ready to eat. YELLOW Paste or Preserving Heirloom Tomato sounds like. Lots of pulp. You can bet the Ladies had Special Recipes for them.😊❤
Y’all make gardening look like so much fun, but there’s a whole lot of work involved! My husband and I had to downsize ours because we got too old!😂 We still enjoy growing tomatoes and lots of flowers!
2 Years ago our sweet potatoes were huge. I cut them in half then each half in half again, rub each piece all over with olive oil and place them cut side down on a baking sheet. Cover with foil. They bake up pretty quickly that way.
Fried sweet potato pies are real good. My grandmother use to make them a lot. Bojangles has them usually in the fall. Ya'll got a nice harvest of sweet potatoes. Need to get some collards in the ground now. You know how us southerners love our collards.
You can pressure can sweet potatoes in water and when you open them . Empty contents into cooker and add butter and brown sugar . Cook for a while and they are delicious.
@@vlunceford do a mixture 3 cups brown sugar .1 tablespoon salt. 1 1/2 cups white sugar . 10 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil and pour over potatoes in the jar . Pressure 12 lbs for 35 minutes
Well, you won't be running out of sweet tators anytime soon. We'd have to put a six foot fence up to grow them. The deer eat the vines as quick as they leaf out.
I peel chop into sizes you like.blanch for 4 or 5 minutes.dry them off , bag them and freeze them. Bake,roast or candy them. They are super delicious. Love the videos.yall farm,Cann and live like we do. We love it.God really bless us.
Megan I can lots of sweet potatoes 🍠 big chunks. Great for casseroles and deserts and I make savory mashed sweet potatoes just like regular potatoes cream butter S&P so yummy! Sweet potato rolls,biscuits,sweet bread, pie,soufflé,pancakes,soup,cookies,muffins,baked oatmeal and so much more made easy with canned sweet potatoes- they are soft and wet like pumpkin so some recipes require draining off liquid -I use cheesecloth. Happy canning 🫙
I can sweet potatoes for pies and casseroles. I also peel, blanch, and freeze them to roast in the oven. I live in Florida, so I don’t really have a place that I can store them whole. I can keep a small amount to use fresh.

Digging potatoes is like a fun little treasure hunt.
It IS like a fun treasure hunt. When my girls were little they had the best time digging potatoes with my Mom. So did I. Loving memories for sure ❤

Even if they did leave them in the garden they'll make excellent soil feed.

Nothing like tackling a chore together as a family.
What a job! Y'all are amazing, so down to earth, and what you see is what you get! Love watching
I cook the big potatoes in my crock pot.
What a delight it has been watching you with your young ones digging taters. Precious memories that will last a life time.
Agree
Thankyou so much. I knew sweet potatoes grew in the ground but I've never seen them harvested. Very interesting and wish you all the best.

There is a reason the sweet potato flowers look like morning glories. They are members of the morning glory family.
