Garden 2021 Part16 Sweet Potato Harvest Is Amazing 

If you cut the vines a couple days before harvesting that will allow the skins to toughen up so you don't damage them during harvest, that allows them to last longer in storage.

That was FUN! I wasn’t bored at all, it was like watching a treasure hunt.

Never thought I would get such enjoyment watching a grown man playing in the dirt for almost an hour LOL:) Great video as always.

Love watching all farmers with sweet potatoes. 💕 they are my favorites. So grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing you with lots of sweet potatoes to harvesting. I watching most of the harvesting some are harvested but not good and some not much!...you blessed because you have much...I know you grateful..

My favorite harvesting video is seeing someone dig for sweet potatoes and you fit the bill perfectly. I’ve never seen you this giddy before in any of your videos and it was a joy to watch. Congratulations on a magnificent harvest. I believe the split potatoes will heal over. I’m going to harvest mine once the rain stops. I planted mine in a very large tote bin this year. Getting too old to dig in the ground. I hope my harvest is half as good as yours..

When I raised sweet potatoes, I always did it in containers so I could turn them out on a tarp when it came time to harvest. It is a bit of a treasure hunt, and you had a great harvest!

That was fun, not boring at all. I like your voiceovers but the live mike was nice to hear the delight in your voice. You did great. Can't wait to see what your Mrs. does with them.

I laughed all the way through this video. I NEVER get tired of watching people's reactions when they see the size and number of potatoes they get. I react the same way each year, and we've been growing them for many years now. Fun, fun !!!

I loved this video! Your laugh was contagious :) I would have reacted the same way… giggling and happy that I learned a new way to feed my family and friends. I look forward to your recipes and storage solutions

I love full harvest videos! They are therapeutic to me 😅 looking forward to the pumpkin harvest! 🎃

Fantastic harvest. Beautiful kids. Enjoy

That was so much fun! I can’t believe how big some of them are. I’m betting they will be fine once they cure, the gnarly ones. I think I’ll give it a try next year. 👍👍

How exciting! What a bounty! Fun to see how thrilled you were. I did not know we could grow sweet potatoes in our short growing season. I always thought they needed consistent heat over a long season. No one here grows them. I suspect those will be the most delicious sweet potatoes you've ever tasted. Growing in great compost is always key to flavor. Wow, but they are some serious effort to dig with that strong, dense, fibrous root system! I do know that *too much water and rain at the end of the season is the usual cause of splitting!* So you had so much rain at the wrong time. Still a huge Win Win though. Those lush vines will also make great compost for next year. I hope Mrs. URHC likes sweet potatoes. So many ways to use them in the kitchen. ENJOY!

That’s some hard work. That’s why I grow them in potato cloth pots with a side pocket. You can actually harvest them and leave the plant to produce more.

Great harvest!! Enjoyed the second camera, too. Thank you for the tip. Planting in compost.

What a haul. I can't wait for spring after seeing your success.

This was an awesome video to watch. Each one of those larger spuds is a meal for two.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic great job !!! Bet they will be absolutley delicious!!!

You should dig around the beds and wherever the plant set roots. There may be lots more hiding under the soil. Reminds me when I grew my first crop. Amazing harvest.

My neighbor is from China. She makes sweetpotatoe tea from the leaves. Plus eats the Leaves. Good to clean the blood. She's 70. Takes NO MEDICATIONS. Healthy and strong

You can bake, boil or steam in their skins, cool, peel, puree, then freeze dry, can, or freeze. Of course you can use just like canned pumpkin. Keep the nicest with out split for baked yam. The largest nice ones for sweet potato fries as needed.

Watching from Philippines! My dad is good at growing sweet potatoes, me and my sister is always excited to dig them up. Whe know it's ready coz we see it showing at cracks in the soil.. we love them boiled, fried or grilled. Never gets tired eating sweet potatoes all year round. Seeing u happy digging it out reminds me of our childhood. More sweet potatoes to grow 💖

What a great harvest, I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for taking us along.

Loving the live mic. Getting the real-time reactions as you do the work is exciting. Keep up the entertaining videos.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful video nice potatoes👍🙏

I stumbled on your channel and really enjoyed watching you harvest your sweet potatoes they are beautiful and one of my favorite things to eat, if I were near you I would take some of your hands. Keep up the good work!

I see some canning in your future! I dry them in the oven for dog treat.... He loves them

It’s just as easy to make your own slips from one of your sweet potatoes next year. You would have to start them early. Couldn’t believe the footballs you pulled out of there. I’ve had some purple ones get pretty large but nothing still as big as those.

Wow! that's a huge harvest of sweet potatoes! can make into sweet potato buns, sweet potato donuts, sweet potato soup, sweet potato bread, sweet potato and yam dessert, sweet potato pancake, roasted and steamed sweet potato, I love sweet potatoes. The more the merrier, you can use bread machine to bake sweet potatoes! Like always love your videos especially harvesting videos!🥰🥰🥰 By the way the leaves delicious is you fried with some chilly garlic and anchovies.

I like when people harvest their vegetables, especially potatoes. I'm waiting for my slips to grow so I can grow sweet potatoes to. But I'm doing mines in pots instead this way I can dump them out.

I loved watching this harvest. I'm sure i will watch it again. Great harvest.

This was entertaining to watch - your reaction to some of them was very funny. I also grew them for the first time - started my own slips so I am now anxious to harvest and see what I got. It is a rewarding plant to grow - very pretty and beneficial, above and below ground. Hope they are delicious to eat!

Hi URHC!! I know I have said this before but you are such an inspiration to growing your own food and storing for the winter. I appreciate all of the videos and you are a great teacher!! Thank you!! Have a great day!!

We ain’t bored watching this treasure hunt. Now we know why we are so many as kids. Easy and prolific. In south Texas they grow them almost year round.

I have really enjoyed watching you pull out sweet potatoes out of your garden awesome harvest

Potato fries with the little ones! Sooooooooo goooood.

Grow in buckets or pots. Then dump them on a tarp or into a wheelbarrow & break open the soil. Soooo much easier👍🏻

That was so enjoyable..wow!! Thanks for sharing

it never gets boring.. I was cheering with each one you dug up! lol

This was the most fun I’ve had watching RU-vid in a while. So much fun. Chernobyl Potatoes!

This has been fun and exciting for me even though I'm not there! I've had to watch it again. You can cann some of the ones that split. They would be good to add to the homemade dog food, casseroles, desserts, oh amd they do make good pasta as well.

I don’t comment often, but this video was so much fun to watch. I literally LOL’d at “Oh No!”

I am always fascinated on how you turned something into many kind of dishes. They are so mouth watering 🤤! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

My experience trying to compost sweet potato vines showed me that the leaves composted but the vines themselves did not breakdown. After laying on the pile all winter the vines were like wire. I finally took them out of the pile. If you have any farm animals, it would be better to feed the vines to the animals. I enjoyed your video and watched it to the end. Since you have so many sweet potatoes it would be a good idea to can come. I hate it when some potatoes go bad before they can be eaten.

Was not all boring, I really enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing.

What fun!! Loved watching you dig for treasure. I watched till the end. Thank you for sharing.

I can't think of anything I'd rather do than spend 30 odd minutes watching a happy man laugh at how stupid big his sweet potatoes are. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Wow amazing. I just started some sweet potato slips this year in a big container hopefully I will get some tubers I would be so happy already lol

That was FUN! I wasn’t bored at all, I like watching your potato harvesting.

It was too much fun watching you dig these up😄 I haven't harvested mins yet, I grew some for the first time also. I can't wait to see what I get. Hope you keep me posted on what you plan to do with them and how you plan to store them.

Awesome harvest

Your reaction is priceless!

Awesome and inspirational

those greens can be sauteed, they're yummy, too.

Wow beautiful 😍 harvest would you have a Video of planning this? Love watching you did for potatoes 👌😆

The big ones seem to be in the corners. I suspect it’s the temperature? This was really fun!

Wow, what an amazing haul! We tried them once. We did what they said with black plastic on top of the mounds and everything and they were good but not very many sweet potatoes. Loved watching this!

Wow what a crop!!

Love your video. Splits will happen from excess water at the end of the season. I’ve learned that we have to stop watering them a month before harvest.

Very good harvest. Enjoyed watching your adventure.

Well done, loyal and faith servant that nice harvest of sweet potatoes, Happy eating yum, yum

Amazing👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️

Great video! Your sweet potato harvest was amazing!

I love the leaves of sweet potatoes cook it to stir fried with garlic soya souce

Love the way they look nice work there

I see a lot of sweet potato pie in your future

Use the vines and sweet potatoes leaves to feed the chicken and other farm animals. They will love it.

Everybody gets splits. The commercial growers send them to canning plants etc where they get cut up so we don’t see them in the grocery store. You got a great harvest, Georgia Jets are a reliable staple each year.

You must have had some great compost.

Not bored. I enjoyed watching.

Beautiful potatoes I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing

I enjoy watching 👀while am resting from my whole day work as a housemaid I got relaxing thanks for your nice video I love 💘it watching from Philippines 🇵🇭💕💖

Congratulations on a spectacular harvest. Well done:-):-):-)

Potato Rake Brother. Makes a good walking stick and an awesome back scratcher!

Looks like you got a great harvest. Your potatoes split from too much water at the end of the growing cycle. I'm just now harvesting mine this week from last year. I don't water mine if we have frequent rain. They really don't need a lot of water to produce nice tuber's.

Wow I am happy for you. Excellent harvest. Please tell me what the name of the compost you purchased. Your potato size was consistent. Your football potato was awesome. Wonderful attitude and harvest. I hope you enjoy them. Good job.

Wow.."best sweet potato dig I’ve seen yet on RU-vid!! Congratulations!

Wow! Huge & 6-8 from each plant? Unbelievable

Loved the video!

Looked like you were playing football!🏉😁 Well, you certainly got a workout and a great harvest! 👌

Unbelievable - kudos to you on such an amazing harvest. Re: that last bed, now I know what I’ve been doing wrong. Next year, they are going in manure. 😁

Great job man hard work dude paid 👏 👍

That was awesome :-) Not bored at all. You learn something every day :-)

So 90 days is the sweet spot for harvesting the sweet potatoes I didn’t know you had to do so much for them to get sweet Great job

Wow!!! See!!! A long time ago I found your video on ways to dehydrate zucchini and then I lost where I saved your video. I finally found you again woohoo! I subbed you yesterday sir. You made yourself a friend out here in south jersey! That was so fun to watch and thank you sir you inspired me and this was really exciting to see! I'm happy for you and your wonderful harvest!

Wow what a sweet potato harvest! That is awesome!

Sweet potatoes leaves is very good to eat.

You can canning sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash. And if you roast them all together, you make this sauce throw over the vegetables it’s yummy. Olive oil, onions, peppers, garlic and tomato sauce, cooking each one of them for a few seconds before to add the next one! Enjoy!

I like the big ones that are about a pound and a half or two pounds each. I like to get them done and mix butter and sour cream.

The new vines and leaves the tender end can be cook with adobo receipe, instead of meat use the vines and leaves

Good video Thank you God Bless

We're not bored.. They freeze well, in lots of different ways. Also, trying curing some to use during the next 4-5 months and you won't even need to touch the frozen ones til they run out. You'll have potatoes until NEXT fall

you had a great harvest!👍

Pour out the sweet potatoes in a shady place and let them dry off, but wash them off first. Let them have about three or four hours in the shade.

Next year, try curing by cutting the vines of at ninety days but leav the sweet potatoes in the ground for 110 days thats how we cure potatoes here in sweden.

Mister, one should never use a pitch fork when digging potatoes. You end up stabbing too many!

You and your wife will be sick of sweet potatoes by next spring! Baked, broiled, fried, pureed... you name it. Maybe a neighbor has something they will trade with you for a few pounds!

Woah! I hope you love sweet taters like I do. I wish I had one of those giant beauties to have for breakfast right now

Wow! There were some whoppers in those beds! Question, where did you get that little pitch fork? That is perfect for raised beds (that’s what I have too). Thanks for sharing your garden & harvest!

LOL IT'S LIKE OPENING CHRISTMAS PACKAGES LOL, FANTASTIC HAUL. AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF SNAKES BEING IN ALL THOSE VINES? I WOULD BE. CAN'T YOU JUST WEED EAT THE VINES AWAY. LESS WORK YES? HOW DO YOU PLANT THOSE, I CAN ONLY DO BUCKETS OR TOTES, I CAN'T BEND DOWN AND DO ALL THAT WORK. THANKS
