HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN SWEET POTATOES ARE READY TO HARVEST? 

Thanks for watching! Check out this video if you're interested: How do you grow your own sweet potatoes? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3A0C37ge4A8.html

Okay the part at the end with your “out-takes” was hilarious 🤣

Thank you thank you thank you for not having annoying background music while you are teaching. So many YTers do that and I cant watch. I will subscribe. Peace from zone 9b Central East Coast Florida.

Try your best not to touch them with your bare hands, it causes spotting from oil on your skin, and don't wash them with water until ready to use! Also don't allow frost or freeze to kill the vines! Just a few things I know from many years of growing this incredible vegetable!!

Very nice sharing 👍👍👍👌🙏

Scott, These are as good looking and healthy sweet potatoes as I’ve seen! You did good! Good eating! Dad

Great info, thanks so much for sharing. This is my first year growing sweet potatoes. I've grown white and red potatoes for a decade, so I'm a newbie to the sweet potatoes.

Thank you! Also for sharing info about your watering set up..💕

Lovely harvest Scott

Exactly the info I was needing - thanks again!

Thank you Scott... For simple steps...

What an awesome harvest!

I luv your energy 😄💐

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks!

Great work man! New Subscriber!! My best sweet potato plant grows right along side the house in an old flower bed.

Great harvest

Lol great vid with a great ending. Thank you.

Hi Scott I am a newbie to your channel & have subscribed. You explained beautifully regarding sweet potatoes. I have grown them both successful & unsuccessful & currently have a bed in that I am not hopeful for, but I will see. Cheers Denise- Australia (Love the out-takes just brilliant)

Thank you!!

Beautiful tubers and some great hints. Thank you!! It’s my second year of growing SPs in containers. I only had slips for the Japanese purple variety. They were very small last year but very sweet. I’m hoping for some larger ones this year. I planted the slips a bit early, and it was too cold for them to grow, but they took off once the weather got warm. I give the leaves to our hens.

I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us

My great grandfather always dug his sweet potatoes on August 15th.

Thanks for the infor

awesome harvest!

Very helpful. Thank you. I subscribed.

Great video! Thank you! What do you rotate your sweet potato beds with?

So glad we found your channel We are on a small homestead and started our channel and having fun learning. We've been gardening here in central Texas for over 30 years and wanted to share with others the things we've learned. We were on a large homestead but decided years ago to downsize so we could travel. Looking forward to watching your channel. God Bless. Mike

Thanks for info. fMy irst year planting sweet potaoes and have a beautiful wild vine. But did not know where to start digging for the potatoes. !!

I have just discovered today that one can watch the young SP leaves! Very nutritious, cook like spinach or collards w garlic. Delish!

That is a fantastic sweet potato harvest!

Thanks man

After watching this, I checked my photos to see when I planted my slips, turns out it was 17 weeks ago! Thanks

Yeah, those things are huge!

Thank you

I failed when I left for vaca and person didn’t maintain the watering so starting again. I made my grow dirt from your instructions. Can I reuse the grow dirt or do I need to throw it out. Need to get started ASAP so thanking you ahead of time. Love your videos, product and your Buddy.

I may have some sweet potatoes but it could be spring before I can get to them. Hurricane Ida dropped a huge tree on my tater bed. But now I have a 25 x 45’ full son spot to plant my citrus orchard. Good thing too cause some have outgrown their containers.

Hi brother ! Good farming Your job is great......

Do you have any videos on your drip irrigation setup shown in your sweet potato bed?

GREAT HARVEST. I have some organic and Beauregard's in the same container. They are 130 days. I am trying to wait until 150 days. They have not died back yet. It will not be long. Barely starting to yellow. I will harvest at 140 since I saw your harvest. I will be happy. Good job and I hope you enjoy them.

Love the positive, high energy, informative video...why didn't you mention edible shoots?

Wow! Very nice. Question: what’s the minimum temp to grow sweet potatoes. And during the winter if I get any harvest; can I store those in a cool dark place?

Can't wait to grow some sweet potatoes 😋

Thank you for this detailed information ! This is was so helpful.

Thanks for this video. Very helpful! Is there anything that can be done to make them sweeter? Mine are not sweet at all.

I just harvested one of my sweet potatoes, and they were about 2 inches long. I'll wait another month before I harvest the rest. Hopefully, it'll be a better outcome.

The leaves are delicious cooked or in salads. Try then. Healthy.

They are usually ready for harvest in 90 to 120 days depending on the variety.

Great harvest. Please let me know where you get those black trays that you put the sweet potatoes in. Thank you

When the compost pile heats up does this not kill the weavel ?

How big of a bed did you plant in and how many slips did you plant? My bed is 3x6 and I did 7 slips cause I wasn’t sure how many I could do.

Where do you get those nice black harvest crates? Thanks

Thank you that was good information except I don’t know when my sweet potatoes are gonna be done as far as the time I got the slips from the Amish Gardner and I should’ve asked him with a grow time on him was

Awesome harvest, I'm trying to figure out how many slips I should plant. What would you say to put in a kiddie pool. I've drilled holes in one and am using it as a raised bed this season. I have 3 varieties of sweets and I'm not sure how many I can out in there

I planted sweet potatoes over a year ago. I never tried to harvest, because I was not sure how long it takes for them to make potatoes. As they get older do they become less edible?

What if you started late...like in July? Will they hold out until the first frost, 13 October in my 6a area. Also, how can I propagate or take seed from these and plant next years crop. Thank you.

My cows used to love to get into the sweet potato bed and eat the greens. I never did try them.....are they good to eat???

I ask because I am not sure I can grow them this year, it is the end of May and I need to make slips.

This was my first year growing SP. A lot of them were curvy and twisted around each other. Any tips to avoid this?

can the slips be pruned or will the potatoes die, i want grow sweet potatoes in fabric pots at home and have not enough space for all those slips

When the flowers of the potato appears then handa na.

I have white potatees with purple flowers that I planted around June 1st. The tops haven't died back yet. How do I know when they are ready to harvest? Thanks.

Searching for info about planting and protecting my hard work. You mention weevils as a pest to watch for. How do you try to prevent them from infesting and ruining the crop. This will be the first time planting in a new garden (not beds but hills) So no cross contamination. Researching items on line, one site said you need a license to order. Any info would be appreciated

@7:06-7:18😂 that alone gets a 👍🏽

Would it be beneficial to trellis the vines

I grow mine in pots and most of the times roots are all over :)

What is your geographical location? When is your last frost? When is your first frost? I sprout a grocery store potato in the house 2 months before planting it April 20, that is our last frost. I let my plants grow 6½ months until our first frost kills the plants Nov 1st. I typically get 20 to 25 lbs of new potatoes from each plant. Plants love our hot blistering 100° dry as desert TN weather. I only grow white color sweet potatoes, we don't like the orange potatoes. My crop never seems to do better with fertilizer or water. I added a lot of dead tree leaves to the soil but leaves are gone in 3 months our hot weather cooks the organic material away. Sweet potato plants grow excellent in full sun. Sweet potatoes are a zero maintenance crop return 6 months later and dig up 75 lbs of new potatoes from 3 plants. We don't get much rain during the summer about 1" every month.

I planted mine out of cuttings. When should i harvest?

do you only get one potato per plant?

I heard you can sauté the green tops to eat

And what if we don’t mark our calendar lol I started mine off store bough

I grow sweet potatoes for their leaves. Staple foods in congo 🇨🇩 . We sell it very expensive here in usa 🇺🇸

Don’t throw away the leaves. Harvest the smaller leaves throughout the season, and fry them up like you would with spinach.

Hm, and while I use manure and give plenty of water, it can take them months to make tubers. Arizona rains make everything explode in production.

so much for following the 90/100 day thing. u left them 147 days ( I think :) and u got the biggest harvest yet, hmmm. Anyway, I like your no music, snappy move along style - thanks. Its my 1st season to grow and yep Ive been waiting for the tops to die back. Been in the ground maybe 5 months now. Reckon Ill dig em up today :))

It means that seet potato doesnt blow before harvesting

Awesome!!!! Sweet Taters!!!!!

What if you used a grocery store sweet potato and don't know what kind it is?

How do you grow anything with them spraying the sky with chemtrails. And how do you keep the moles from eating everything in site?

NICE HARVEST. 147 DAYS. I WILL WAIT A LITTLE LONGER MINE ARE 90 DAYS RIGHT NOW I WILL WAIT ANOTHER 30 DAYS TO CHECK.

In my case they are ready when frost destroys leaves.

Why don't you eat the leaves? They are delicious!

What growing zone are you? I am 8B

Luckily you have a home with spaces for fresh farming treasure. Congratulations for being American.

if you leave it for too long, it becomes very fibrous.

If your « raised bed » was in fact a real « raised » one…you wouldn’t have pest problems ! But unfortunately it’s not a raised bed.

Hallo there. My sweetpatatoe. Sprouts are beginning to bloom. I have no idea how long since they were planted... Are they ready to harvest now or do I leave the sprouts till they die

approximately how many sweet potatoes does one plant produce? -hilary

I am starting my first garden bed this summer. I am absolutely terrified of bugs! 🐛🐜🐞🕷🪲🥲😓 Wish me luck!

Awesome harvest
