    From watching videos, I learned about the slips on regular potatoes. I told my husband we could plant them, and potatoes would grow. I think he was skeptical, but he did it. We had potatoes! I was so excited. I usually don't have any sweet potatoes on hand long enough for the slips to start, but I am thinking that I will keep one or two until they do. I have some grow bags we bought so we could move things around if necessary. I think they will work beautifully. Coming up with a warm place to keep them is going to be the challenge as I do not have a greenhouse. If I have to, I will keep them inside. If I use potting soil in some of my larger pots, I should not have an issue with little critters growing. I had no idea how easy it would be...city girl transplant here. Lol. I do love sweet potatoes about any way you can fix them.
    My husband grew up on a farm, so he does know about growing from seed, etc. I think they always bought what he calls seed potatoes. You had to cut them up and treat them with some kind of concoction to keep them from rotting in the ground. The slips were so easy, and I definitely think that is the way to go.
    What is kind of funny is that I always thought that once the potatoes/sweet potatoes "budded", you couldn't eat them. I just threw them out. I do remember my mom putting toothpicks in the potatoes and setting them in a glass of water. We enjoyed seeing the foliage grow as children. I know she never planted them. I wonder why?
    Thank you, Misty. As I say every time, I love seeing what you are doing and the knowledge you share with us. God bless you all.

      I recently subscribed to your channel, and I'll tell you why. You my angel, are the perfect portrait of a Proverbs 31 woman from the Bible. You are up early caring for your family, cooking, teaching your children. Your hands are not idle. You participate in business and activities that make you beautiful inside and out. You let your husband lead, but we all know he'd be lost without the helpmate God gifted him with in you. Colby is proud, God is proud, your husband and children call you blessed and vital to the success of your family and their lives.
      Thanks to God, for leading me to you and Colby. You are using the gifts God gave you and teaching us to do the same. God Bless you girl! And keep on being who our sweet Lord created you to be. Becoming a Proverbs 31 woman is something all of us ladies need to be striving to acheive🎉❤

    I always did my slips by putting a sweet potato about half way in water in a pint jar or similar. I have even left one and put it in a hanging basket and it made a really nice looking hanging basket. You do have to make sure you water it pretty much daily though, they go through a lot of water.
    I love sweet potatoes, but with being diabetic, I can't eat them a lot.

    Do you have time to tell us what variety of sweet potatoes did you begin with or do you recommend? We have grown Beauregard and Georgia Jet. Last year I did my own slips and had many potatoes that weighed 3-4 pounds each. I did not have very many medium or small size. Did I leave them in the ground too long? The large ones taste fine though.
    Love your channel and I learn so much. 🥰

    • @TheMacsLife0
      @TheMacsLife0  День назад +1

      I actually am not sure what variety this is - it was gifted to me by a gentleman who lives a couple hours away / he was given the vines by a 90 year old who had grown them all his life so they are generations old - I need to research the varieties more to see what kind I actually have
      Grow what does best in your zone! Maybe dig them up at 90 days instead of 120
      You can even dig up a couple to see how they are progressing

      I was really tempted to buy some regular ones bc we have eaten (or they are canned) the ones I grew this year but I did not bc I have SO many sweet potatoes so I thought it would be a better idea to eat what we have - also I make my own mayo about half of the time - then if you wanted to make your own ranch - add a touch of milk , garlic powder, onion powder, basil and salt to taste - or I have also gotten ranch from azure and add it to the mayo and milk
