I just have to say that even though you are not in my zone, I love your videos. You actually teach how to do something. Most of the other people I have watched, just want to show off their garden and their crops. I am interested in learning, not admiring what others have. I don't covet or lust after what others have, but I love to study and learn to help my family. Thanks for all you do. Praise God for healing Nancy.
+6996katmom Thanks for watching my friend!! Indeed, we strive to help others learn especially those that have never tried to garden before. We hope to inspire others. Nancy is still following up with her doctors. We are on a strict 5 year follow up medical plan. We are in Gods hands. Peace to you dear friend, have a peaceful week.😇
There are others on youtube who teach and explain, but not many. One of them is " Ldsprepper " and another is " Texasprepper2 ". But I have to say Hollis & Nancy are the best I have seen yet. God Bless.......
This video is actually helpful. After having watched several "how to grow sweet potato" videos which do not actually show how - just the planting and harvesting, I am thankful to have found your channel. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Sandra. So glad our videos are helping you with your garden. Welcome to the family. ❤️❤️🐶. We have a lot of new videos coming your way this year. Hope you enjoy them
Dear H & N Thank you for starting this channel. I am the proud mother of two good men. The younger one has autism. I'm a special need teacher, and I work with young adults with autism. I know nothing about planting. My next year project involves gardening. I want them to be productive dignified people in the future. I spent this whole long weekend looking through RUclips. Everybody has nice ideas, but your videos are the answers to my prayers in every sense. I live in Florida and I hope my project takes off soon, so I will show you our progress. God bless you with bountiful harvests and a happy long life! Thank you again! I'll be watching and learning.
+Alba Zamora I always encourage folks to introduce their children to gardening as young as possible. It builds patience and responsibility in addition to relaxing the soul. Please keep us updated on your progress. God bless you and your family😇
Praise God I just found you. I’m disabled with several back surgeries behind me. I still love to garden it takes me time but no one but me really. Cares because it’s me and the Lords bounty .I know that I am real late this year to plant but I think I’ll work on supplies for seeding and starting for February of next year and grow some late tomatoes and lettuce. Thank you. Keep encouraging us and we will pray for you. In grace are he Saved Amen
This channel is truly heaven sent. Just started gardening like literally a month ago and just love your in depth videos. And love your scriptures at the end. Thanks for all that you do! Keep up the good work!
This is the absolute genius video on RUclips about growing sweet potatoes. Your methods are simple easy and efficient. Your a walking talking book of knowledge. I want to personally thank you and thank God the Father for placing you in my path. I'm so blessed by your works and the light you've shined on me. Thank you and God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ I'm going to apply the knowledge I've gained here to my own gardening. In the world we love be in today a man is unsure and uncertain about tomorrow. To be prepared and ready for anything isn't paranoid. It's smart enough to know how to survive the storm. Thanks again, keep up the good work 💪
Thank you so much. You are so loving and compassionate when handling the plants. I am a city girl trying to learn how to garden. I will carry your excellent ethic and respect for plants with me as I progress on my journey. So lucky to find a great mentor on my first search :) God Bless Teacher.
I LOVE how well your instructions are for the video. I'm a science and engineering nerd and I really enjoy the detailed information you add to explain what's happing to the plants, etc. We're in a tiny apt in a city, can't move to anywhere else. So I'm going to really take the challenge of growing my food in containers. Thanks for your work.
I just came across your videos and I'm in awe of all that you both are doing. I'm a Christian also that has just came through a hard trial in my life, sadly I'll be legally divorced this coming Monday the 19th and I'm having to start over again on a new foundation, but this time I'm letting the Lord build it and let Him direct my paths. I've always lived in the country but now I'm having to live in a small apartment in town and I was wanting to try my hand at container gardening growing crops inside n partially outside cause I'm not allowed to dig up the ground here. Anyway, God Bless you both and you are a very sweet encouragement to me... In Christ, Stephanie
Ahhh it must be heartbreaking for you to get the divorce. We both understand. Me and Hollis also been thru divorces in the past. Our hearts hurt for you and your ex. We both lost hope too and told God our picker is broke and asked Him to pick our future mate. I prayed for a gardener and you see what happen. We serve an awesome God. Thank you for sharing and it really encourages us that it will help you to grow thing in the apartment. Our prayer is with you.
Just starting out with my homestead journey. I stumbled on your channel and fell in love with you guys. Hollis, your step by step instructions along with your patient nature really encourages me.
I love your videos...you are a great teacher & your voice is so kind and reassuring...and your sharing of scripture lets me know God has led me to the right place to learn the skills I need...I’m grateful to have you as a mentor to embark upon my journey as a grower of the food that will sustain myself & others going forward into uncertain times God Bless You
Hello Hollis and Nancy, I absolutely love your videos.I've learned SOOOO much about gardening from you guys.I planted 2 pots of sweet potato slips last year (2017) and we had home grown sw pot. for Thanksgiving.That was so cool ! :) I'm going to plant more this year. (Feb.2018) and I'm going to watch your video for reg potatoes and plant them this year also.I know you moved to Fl this year. I live outside of Panama City Fl. and I plan on watching you guys in Florida next. (I'm a subscriber.) Can't wait to learn more from you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us here and I remember "By His hands we are fed, Give us Lord our daily bread.Amen" Love you both and you too have a blessed day. HUGS :)
Me too! New subscriber. My soil is like a gravel pit. Welcome to Michigan. Weather can go from 20' below to 110' and muggy. Gardeners nightmare. I'm putting in raised beds this next spring, and planting in buckets. Interesting and informative videos.
I put three sweet potatoes in glasses of water on November 6 and already today, November 25, two of them have roots and vines about a foot high. The third obviously wasn’t organic as advertised! I will be planting them in one of my earth boxes with a trellis, maybe soon as I’m in FL. Winter is our growing season.
Thanks for this series! Last year, I had a Japanese sweet potato that started sprouting in my cabinet, and not knowing any better, I planted it like a regular potato in a spare pot on my balcony. Midway through the season, I realized something was up, and these videos really helped me learn how to do it correctly. I even salvaged the slips from that original potato and got a ton of sweet potatoes last year from a single container on my NYC balcony! Really looking forward to an even better harvest this time! Also, a tip I learned this year: when soaking the sweet potato in water, the pointy end should be the top. That will make the slips grow from the bottom of the potato and they will root way, way faster.
Rewatching all your how to vids 😁 I built 7 above ground beds 20 30lb grow bags and 20 20lbs containers getting 12 yards of compost/manure/topsoil mix delivered next week from local landscape store to get all my beds filled 😁 this is first year 🤞 planting like family’s life depends on it
I've used this video as reference to start my sweet potatoes for the first time. This is my second year gardening . Thank you for content even I, "Ms Brown Thumb" can follow 👍🏾. How often should I water? What do I do if my hay gets mold underneath 🤔? PS my husband put me on to you guys. What stood out to him was your faith , knowledge and easy complete instructions.
Watching this again in 2023. I really appreciate your attention to detail and explaining things as you go. Even though I am not a new gardener, not new to growing sweet potatoes, this is still such a good review. Happy New Year!!
this was one of the first video I watched before I subscribed. Followed your process, except I planted one as you show, laying out the roots on the slope and then another straight up. Finding: both buckets produced about the same. both buckets had most of the potatoes on top 1/3 of bucket; none in bottom 1/2; neither had vines attached to a trellis and no vines "crept" outside the top of buckets. our son and daughter helped us "harvest" our crop and everyone was so excited that WE DID IT !! Thanks to you.
These are my favorite potatoes! I buy some every week at the farmer’s market and can’t wait to start growing some! Thanks so much for these very detailed videos - They’re wonderful!!
Appreciate you guys so much. Your videos are welcoming, relaxed, informative and clear. I love the prayer at the end, and the cross in your yard. Thank you for your generosity of time and knowledge. Much grace and much peace to you!
I want to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I love that you share your faith, and I really enjoy the scripture verses you include. I’ll be thrilled to see the videos from your new homestead because we’re in East Palatka, FL, not too far from you.
thank you Hollis and Nancy i love your lesson on sweet potatoes , i a green bean. onion, cuke, tomato gardnens but i will try your sweet potatoes and also spaghetti squash this year, also i pray for my plants and seeds for only God can make a plant and grow fruit so i give him all the credit , but i thank God for men like Hollis who help other this way . you are showing God love and you will be blessed
+bob hoffman Thank you Bob for watching and your kind and wise words. I can plant a seed and I can water it but only God can make it grow. Have a blessed weekend😇
Thank you sooo much for showing us how to do this. I'm a mom of 7 who was unfortunately taken out of the workforce unexpectedly because of a severe case of grand mal epilepsy (seizure disorder).. So now I need to make sure I can still feed my babies on my own. New subscriber for sure.❤❤❤
So sorry for your medical issues. We pray for your health🙏. Best of luck to you with your sweet potatoes. Be sure to add lots of Bone Meal when you plant and side dress with Bone Meal once per month. Wait at least 120 days until harvest. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
Mr. Hollis, I just watched your video on growing walla walla onions, im so excited..You do a wonderful job at explaining everything. And the calmness of your voice makes it easy to listen to you.. Thank you for all you and Mrs. Nancy's efforts...Wonderful inspiring job...
Praise the Lord....I love your presentation on how to grow sweet potatoes in containers. Very informative and exciting. I have done them before growing them in jars in the 70's and I now going a step farther. I am so excited. Thank you for sharing the steps in planting them in containers. I hope to show you my progress soon. I love the idea in putting a date in starting them because do lose track starting them. God continue blessing to you.....Sharon
Sweet potato leaves are good eating, depending on the variety. Each has its own flavor, from grassy to spinachy to reeely good. I've grown the slips inside over the winter just for the fresh green leaves in the winter.
I'm here in 2021 watching, I have learned so much. I really enjoy the videos and love the religious aspect of your life and the growing process of both spiritual and physical gardening. God Bless
Sir.... you are amazing. I have never seen a clear, detailed, patient explanation of how to grow food for yourself. Thank you for this video. I plan to send it to my sister-in-law in Maine because every time I watch I think of how much you remind me of my brother in law, Albert. He is a old salty Mainer, loves to grow potatoes, and is super handy too! Thanks!
Your videos are great Thanks so much You and your wife are just perfect Thanks for the education and easy to understand and great speaking speed and lighting
This is the clearest video tutorial for doing your own growing I have ever seen. Will you all ever show how to grow in your own tiny green house as well for trying to grow bananas and such? Thank you for this knowledge, God bless!
Hollis and Nancy, I love watching your videos! My husband and I watch them almost every night (you have SO MANY helpful videos!) as we prepare for spring planting. You're our go-to resource for gardening advice! Last summer we added a greenhouse to our garden to extend our season here in Salt Lake City. I'm really excited to try sweet potatoes for the first time and plan to put them in the greenhouse. This was such a helpful video to get us started. And I LOVE the platform with trellis that you built!! Feel free to share any tips you have. Thank you so much for all your hard work and attention to detail. It shows! Wish us luck! Best, Nancy from SLC
So glad you enjoy our videos. Starting March 1st we will start releasing two videos each week. We will be releasing a video each Thursday at 6:00pm and another video each Sunday at 4:00pm. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️
We moved onto a lake with a 50 x 250 yard. I am able to carve out a 24 x 24 raised bed area this spring, where there is full sun. I have been following you. I feel really blessed to have found your video. I have been growing some plants indoors, and buying the soil mix you use. After this summer, I may be able to enlarge my garden. You have a talent for answering every question I have. Thank you .
+Lynn Weiler Congratulations on your new homestead!! Your garden will expand every year 😆😆. Seems like it is never enough. Be sure to incorporate some containers into the mix. It will add an extra element of joy to your garden. Thank you so much for watching our videos! So glad we have given you some ideas👍👍. Have a peaceful week 😍😍🐶
I love that you guys acknowledge God as lord of the harvest! He is. Every good and perfect gift comes from him. That prayer also reminds us to be thankful for little things. Wishing all the best in your gardening adventures❤
Hollis and Nancy, you are so sweet I could not help but subscribe today. Its early March and so cold still here in Canada but I am dreaming of my garden. I found you today and I just love your gentle spirits. Your garden is neat and well laid out, it really does inspire me. We have built a new home, our garden is smallish, but I can see from your container organization that even a smallish space can yield alot. Thank you for explaining so patiently about sweet potatoes, now I know what to do. I love that you give God the glory, He makes the seeds grow, its AMAZING. I'm yapping on too much, guess I already feel LIKE FAMILY;)
Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶. It does not take a lot of space to feed a family of 4. We especially like the container garden. So much easier to maintain
Very detailed with each step and all those details are important to start. I love sweet potatoes, shall start, though slow growing, I shall watch rest of two videos on this one. Need to listen again so as to make notes on good points you mention. 🙏🏾👍🏾
I been trying to grow some potatoes on my home garden for months, just waiting for the weather to be right, I feel so confident I can do that now with the help from your video. Subscribed already.
you remind me of my aunt and uncle in nobob, KY. they're in their late 70's now but they're my late hub's relatives that adopted me and I them and I LOVE being self-sufficient! I've learned soap-making and canning and made up my own solid dish washing "detergent" with bkg soda. LOVE you guys' vids. this one most of all. your accent makes me miss my KY family. *sniff, sniff*
Hahahaha!!! Y'all are so cute!! Down yonder we's don't have that kahnd of sweet speech patterns or ways of rollin' the R's. Love it. Ah'm a California girl but Ah LOVE my Auntie's home baked biscuits and miss my late husband's KY cast iron-baked cornbread. =.(
Thanks be to God for people like you. May God Bless you and make you prosper so you can continue to inspire and give Glory to God for all that He provides for us.
This was incredible and very helpful. I want to try this starting in February. However, I don’t have enough direct sunlight into my house in any room. Do you think grow lights would work?
I watched this video last year.I grew sweet potatoes! for the first time. They did wonderful! Thank you for the video. Getting ready to start more for spring.
Thank you. I live in south Sinai, Egypt and all the greens that we get arrive half dead because of the heat. My sweet potato is now growing well and I have cut off the slips to plant. They taste good too! I am so happy I managed to find a way to get fresh greens here (currently temperatures are in mid thirties and going up!). Really great video.
Thank you so much,your video was very informative and easy to follow and I also appreciated the fact that you gave the glory to our heavenly FATHER FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. CONTINUED BLESSINGS FROM OUR FATHER WHOM I ADDRESS AS JEHOVAH. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VIDEO ON SWEET POTATOES,AS I AM GROWING SOME RIGHT NOW
Hello Hollis and Nancy from Newport news V A. I pray this finds you well. My name is Norman and my wife is Brenda . We have been watching your garden show. We both thought that you looked familia, and after reading about you we discovered that we both went to liberty together although I don't think we had the pleasure of getting to know you. We love the shows and wanted to say thank you for both the garden tips and standing up for God . We are praying for you. Thank you Norman and Brenda
I don’t know why but I love listening to you talk about these potatoes! 🙂 Getting ready to put ours out in pots in the backyard!!! Very excited to see them get “wild and hairy”! 😅
It's all about our Lord :) thank you for your knowledge and for allowing Holy Spirit to work through you both to help others. God Bless you and your family.
I'm glad you know that the entire vine can be rooted. It kills me seeing people toss their vines from the season of harvest that could easily be kept in a jar of water inside all winter and have thousands of slips by next spring
About how many slips do you get from one potato? Is the process the same for the Orange potatoes? You have answered so - so many of my vegetable/gardening questions & some I didn't even know I had. 😁 Pray you are enjoying your new home & new gardening space! 🙏🙏🙏 Have a Blessed day & continue to be a Blessing to others.
Very helpful video. A question: can I keep the potatoes in the glass on the window seal where the sun gets them sometimes? Or should they be away from the sun until the slips starts to grow? Thank you!
Thank you guys so much for this, I've been wanting to do sweet potatoes this year but really don't have alot of room. This video came just in time and solved my problem , you guys are the best, God Bless! !
This is the best sweet potato how to video I have seen yet! I've been watching various different videos trying to learn as I haven't grown them yet. Thank you so much for being so detailed!!!

I just have to say that even though you are not in my zone, I love your videos. You actually teach how to do something. Most of the other people I have watched, just want to show off their garden and their crops. I am interested in learning, not admiring what others have. I don't covet or lust after what others have, but I love to study and learn to help my family. Thanks for all you do. Praise God for healing Nancy.

Thanks for watching my friend!! Indeed, we strive to help others learn especially those that have never tried to garden before. We hope to inspire others. Nancy is still following up with her doctors. We are on a strict 5 year follow up medical plan. We are in Gods hands. Peace to you dear friend, have a peaceful week.😇
There are others on youtube who teach and explain, but not many. One of them is " Ldsprepper " and another is " Texasprepper2 ". But I have to say Hollis & Nancy are the best I have seen yet. God Bless.......
+scrapironprepper
Thank you! That is very nice of you to say. Have a blessed week😍😍🐶
I love how you pay attention to detail, which is really helpful to newbies. It's like getting help from a friendly neighbor.
This video is actually helpful. After having watched several "how to grow sweet potato" videos which do not actually show how - just the planting and harvesting, I am thankful to have found your channel. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Sandra. So glad our videos are helping you with your garden. Welcome to the family. ❤️❤️🐶. We have a lot of new videos coming your way this year. Hope you enjoy them

Thanks again, keep up the good work 💪
Thank you for your kind words! Enjoy your garden this year ❤️
The exact presentation I was looking for.......no frills or fancies just good close ups and explanations of how, when and why to do it.
👍
Thank you so much. You are so loving and compassionate when handling the plants. I am a city girl trying to learn how to garden. I will carry your excellent ethic and respect for plants with me as I progress on my journey. So lucky to find a great mentor on my first search :) God Bless Teacher.

I just came across your videos and I'm in awe of all that you both are doing.

Ahhh it must be heartbreaking for you to get the divorce. We both understand. Me and Hollis also been thru divorces in the past. Our hearts hurt for you and your ex. We both lost hope too and told God our picker is broke and asked Him to pick our future mate. I prayed for a gardener and you see what happen. We serve an awesome God. Thank you for sharing and it really encourages us that it will help you to grow thing in the apartment. Our prayer is with you.

Hello Hollis and Nancy, I absolutely love your videos.I've learned SOOOO much about gardening from you guys.I planted 2 pots of sweet potato slips last year (2017) and we had home grown sw pot. for Thanksgiving.That was so cool ! :) I'm going to plant more this year. (Feb.2018) and I'm going to watch your video for reg potatoes and plant them this year also.I know you moved to Fl this year.

I’m new for 2020! Great info 👍
I put three sweet potatoes in glasses of water on November 6 and already today, November 25, two of them have roots and vines about a foot high. The third obviously wasn’t organic as advertised! I will be planting them in one of my earth boxes with a trellis, maybe soon as I’m in FL. Winter is our growing season.

Today is February 17th, 2021, this is my sign from God to plant potatoes this year, starting the process today! Thank you so much for the knowledge!
Enjoy your taters this year🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
February 21, 2021, bought my organic sweet potatoes and found this video. Got them in dirt by the window. Going to try getting the slips that way

Thanks for watching Sharon!! Be sure to post some pix on our Facebook Page, we would love to see your harvest
Sweet potato leaves are good eating, depending on the variety. Each has its own flavor, from grassy to spinachy to reeely good. I've grown the slips inside over the winter just for the fresh green leaves in the winter.
Good to know! I just heard that they were edible on another channel!
I'm here in 2021 watching, I have learned so much. I really enjoy the videos and love the religious aspect of your life and the growing process of both spiritual and physical gardening. God Bless

I love your tenderness with how you treat the plants!! Beautiful 😊
Sir.... you are amazing. I have never seen a clear, detailed, patient explanation of how to grow food for yourself. Thank you for this video. I plan to send it to my sister-in-law in Maine because every time I watch I think of how much you remind me of my brother in law, Albert. He is a old salty Mainer, loves to grow potatoes, and is super handy too! Thanks!
+Lois Johnson-Mead
Thank you so much!!! I am so glad it helped you. Albert sounds like good people. Have a blessed day😍
Your videos are great Thanks so much You and your wife are just perfect Thanks for the education and easy to understand and great speaking speed and lighting
Thank you so much Hollis and Nancy for this very helpful video. I really appreciate sharing with this goos stuff with us. God bless you!
This is the clearest video tutorial for doing your own growing I have ever seen. Will you all ever show how to grow in your own tiny green house as well for trying to grow bananas and such? Thank you for this knowledge, God bless!
We have an urban homestead. I have almost 3 acres . We have chickens,ducks,quail,pheasants,dogs,and a huge garden.Love your videos
How can anyone dislike this video? This is great info! Thanks!!!
Hollis and Nancy, I love watching your videos! My husband and I watch them almost every night (you have SO MANY helpful videos!) as we prepare for spring planting. You're our go-to resource for gardening advice! Last summer we added a greenhouse to our garden to extend our season here in Salt Lake City. I'm really excited to try sweet potatoes for the first time and plan to put them in the greenhouse. This was such a helpful video to get us started. And I LOVE the platform with trellis that you built!! Feel free to share any tips you have. Thank you so much for all your hard work and attention to detail. It shows! Wish us luck! Best, Nancy from SLC
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God Bless you Sir.
You are very welcome ❤️❤️🐶
This is my new favorite channel. As a gardener I love learning and testing ideas from other people. Thank you for the depth and detail
So glad you enjoy our videos. Starting March 1st we will start releasing two videos each week. We will be releasing a video each Thursday at 6:00pm and another video each Sunday at 4:00pm. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead look forward to it!
I really love the idea of planting in containers , love your videos..
Cantainers Are The Best Thing That Has Happened To Me🤗🤭☺️IN GARDENING The Last 3 SEASON'S ☺️👌🤗
My new favorite you tube site. I am going to start my first garden this spring and you have been so helpful!! Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Great explanation. Helped me more than any other video I've watched on this!
We moved onto a lake with a 50 x 250 yard. I am able to carve out a 24 x 24 raised bed area this spring, where there is full sun. I have been following you. I feel really blessed to have found your video. I have been growing some plants indoors, and buying the soil mix you use. After this summer, I may be able to enlarge my garden. You have a talent for answering every question I have. Thank you .
+Lynn Weiler
Congratulations on your new homestead!! Your garden will expand every year 😆😆. Seems like it is never enough. Be sure to incorporate some containers into the mix. It will add an extra element of joy to your garden. Thank you so much for watching our videos! So glad we have given you some ideas👍👍. Have a peaceful week 😍😍🐶
I love that you guys acknowledge God as lord of the harvest! He is. Every good and perfect gift comes from him. That prayer also reminds us to be thankful for little things. Wishing all the best in your gardening adventures❤
Great! Thank you!
Hollis and Nancy, you are so sweet I could not help but subscribe today. Its early March and so cold still here in Canada but I am dreaming of my garden. I found you today and I just love your gentle spirits. Your garden is neat and well laid out, it really does inspire me. We have built a new home, our garden is smallish, but I can see from your container organization that even a smallish space can yield alot. Thank you for explaining so patiently about sweet potatoes, now I know what to do. I love that you give God the glory, He makes the seeds grow, its AMAZING. I'm yapping on too much, guess I already feel LIKE FAMILY;)
Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶. It does not take a lot of space to feed a family of 4. We especially like the container garden. So much easier to maintain
Very detailed with each step and all those details are important to start. I love sweet potatoes, shall start, though slow growing, I shall watch rest of two videos on this one. Need to listen again so as to make notes on good points you mention. 🙏🏾👍🏾
Glad it was helpful!
I been trying to grow some potatoes on my home garden for months, just waiting for the weather to be right, I feel so confident I can do that now with the help from your video. Subscribed already.
thank you so much! now know how to grow sweet potatoes! bless you both
You can do this Robin❤️
you remind me of my aunt and uncle in nobob, KY. they're in their late 70's now but they're my late hub's relatives that adopted me and I them and I LOVE being self-sufficient! I've learned soap-making and canning and made up my own solid dish washing "detergent" with bkg soda. LOVE you guys' vids. this one most of all. your accent makes me miss my KY family. *sniff, sniff*
+iluminameluna
What accent???? LOL
Hahahaha!!! Y'all are so cute!! Down yonder we's don't have that kahnd of sweet speech patterns or ways of rollin' the R's. Love it. Ah'm a California girl but Ah LOVE my Auntie's home baked biscuits and miss my late husband's KY cast iron-baked cornbread. =.(
+iluminameluna
What accent??? LOL thanks for watching my friemd😍
Just planted them with my grandfather! We're not entirely going to grow our own food, but it's a fun project.
Good memories with your grandfather are being made❤️
I love the way you talk to, and about your plants💕🌿 I do that all the time
I'm a new beginning thank you so much for sharing
I like your name, God's Gift. Yes, you are!
@@violabrown1129 aw thank you so much 💓
Thanks be to God for people like you. May God Bless you and make you prosper so you can continue to inspire and give Glory to God for all that He provides for us.
This was incredible and very helpful. I want to try this starting in February. However, I don’t have enough direct sunlight into my house in any room. Do you think grow lights would work?
They should, I'm gonna use my Aerogarden light!
I watched this video last year.I grew sweet potatoes! for the first time. They did wonderful! Thank you for the video. Getting ready to start more for spring.
👍👍👍
thanks for the video, I love sweet potatoes and more healthy than normal white
+Samuel Crees
They are soooo goooood😀
Thank you. I live in south Sinai, Egypt and all the greens that we get arrive half dead because of the heat. My sweet potato is now growing well and I have cut off the slips to plant. They taste good too! I am so happy I managed to find a way to get fresh greens here (currently temperatures are in mid thirties and going up!). Really great video.
Thank you so much,your video was very informative and easy to follow and I also appreciated the fact that you gave the glory to our heavenly FATHER FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. CONTINUED BLESSINGS FROM OUR FATHER WHOM I ADDRESS AS JEHOVAH. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VIDEO ON SWEET POTATOES,AS I AM GROWING SOME RIGHT NOW
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Hollis and Nancy from Newport news V A. I pray this finds you well. My name is Norman and my wife is Brenda . We have been watching your garden show. We both thought that you looked familia, and after reading about you we discovered that we both went to liberty together although I don't think we had the pleasure of getting to know you. We love the shows and wanted to say thank you for both the garden tips and standing up for God . We are praying for you. Thank you Norman and Brenda
I want to plant some sweet potatoes this summer too.
We loved watching your clip and are inspired by the wonderful advise therein. Thank you very much from two like-minded people in Australia.
+thomas major
Thank you to my friends in Australia. Seeing Australia is on my bucket list😀
Hollis: Sweet potatoes like hot weather. They can't stand it when it goes below 50 degrees and they cant tolerate the frost.
Me: I'm a sweet potato
Great, video and teaching. My daughters are starting a garden and this video is very helpful. Thank you. To God be the Glory 🙏🏻
I love seeing parents in the garden with children. God bless you!!!
Great video! Could you cut potato in half to produce more slips?
Love this video series. Whenever I want t to grow something new I look on your channel to learn how to do it. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love your page!
I don’t know why but I love listening to you talk about these potatoes! 🙂 Getting ready to put ours out in pots in the backyard!!! Very excited to see them get “wild and hairy”! 😅
It's all about our Lord :) thank you for your knowledge and for allowing Holy Spirit to work through you both to help others. God Bless you and your family.
Amen. 🙏. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank you
Hello, thank you for sharing. I learned alot and will try this method of planting sweet potatoes. You both have a blessed day!
Wish I could hit like every time I watch!! Need to have a love button (lol)
I agree!
You all have a blessed day too!
NICE FISHING CATCH, I LOVE TO FISH!
I'm glad you know that the entire vine can be rooted. It kills me seeing people toss their vines from the season of harvest that could easily be kept in a jar of water inside all winter and have thousands of slips by next spring
I just love you both for your faith & appreciation of the food you hrow & share
I eat the leaves. They are awesome and sweet sauteed in butter.
About how many slips do you get from one potato? Is the process the same for the Orange potatoes?
You have answered so - so many of my vegetable/gardening questions & some I didn't even know I had. 😁
Pray you are enjoying your new home & new gardening space! 🙏🙏🙏
Have a Blessed day & continue to be a Blessing to others.
One potato can produce dozens of slips. The process is the same for all sweet potatoes ❤️
Thank you from 2022!
Very well explained and inspiring as always. Good bless you and Nancy and give you both a happy life just as you deserve.
Very helpful video. A question: can I keep the potatoes in the glass on the window seal where the sun gets them sometimes? Or should they be away from the sun until the slips starts to grow? Thank you!
No direct sunlight
Thank you for being the only one I could find that explained how to plant sweet potatoes!!
👍
Hello,
When would you say is too late to start planting (on the west coast)? Thanks in advance!
Thank you guys so much for this, I've been wanting to do sweet potatoes this year but really don't have alot of room. This video came just in time and solved my problem , you guys are the best, God Bless! !
+Darleene Newton
Thank you for watching Darleene! Now you can grow your own in a small space. Let us know how they turn out! Have a blessed day 😇
Like and subscribed for the word of God, He's the one that makes it grow.
Exactly!!
This is the best sweet potato how to video I have seen yet! I've been watching various different videos trying to learn as I haven't grown them yet. Thank you so much for being so detailed!!!
You are very welcome and thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
