When to Harvest + How to Cure Sweet Potatoes

As a huge sweet potato fan, I attempted with today's video to give some context to how to harvest sweet potatoes, when to harvest sweet potatoes, and how to cure them.
Questions answered: When do I harvest sweet potatoes? How do I cure sweet potatoes? How do I market sweet potatoes? What if my sweet potatoes got frosted? Do I need to dig my sweet potatoes? Do I have to cure my sweet potatoes.

Love your direct information approach. Because you were so direct, I stuck around for the rest of the video and subscribed. Thanks for being straightforward!

I did the same just because he did that at the start

@Choppingwood83 Год назад

Same here thanks for not stringing us along wasting time. I watched the whole thing and learned a few more things because of the intro. thanks

@trying3841 Год назад

Ya so many RU-vidrs bait you along to hit certain time stamps for money.

@michelleshorey1399 Год назад

I just pulled mine not really knowing when I should. Could have left them in for at least 2 more weeks. Oh well. First time grower. Now I know for next year. Thank You!

@davidd2285 3 года назад

Jeeez I appreciate your videos so much. They're purely informational and entertaining without lecturing or clickbait. Thanks as always!

@JeanneKinland 10 месяцев назад

This is my first year growing sweet potatoes. I'm glad I watched this video to know how to cure them. Thanks Dude!

@manjawarner3162 Год назад

Yeah, the tar thing! You're the first person to even mention it. I was surprised to find my hands and arms covered in spots of a tar-like substance yesterday. Thank you for normalizing sweet potato tar.

Hello dear How are you doing today?

@UniqAssassin 3 года назад

Pretty quick & informative! I’m growing sweet potatoes for the first time, and I didn’t know there was such a thing as curing them for their flavor. Thank you!

@notillgrowers 3 года назад

Oh yeah! Makes all the difference. Best of luck !

@Flav_M 3 года назад

you and I both, had a good store bought batch and thought....i'd like to eat that again :D lucky for me i was able to sprout and transplant them successfully, I didn't however know that 3 plants would take up nearly 500 sq ft and continue to flower and wildly stretch out still in September. Side note Jesse...we rarely frost here (mid CA) soo....what to do et? They prob have around 120+ days now. Tips started poking out of the ground an inch or two and was already at least 3" around and I slid my finger down its back and it went deep :D I covered them up with a thick layer of mulch to keep them out of the sun so they don't turn green. Also is it mainly one per plant or maybe another couple smaller with a main stem? I'm hoping I get enough to keep for seed. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can eat cuz I keep finding food I like to grow and eat ... who knew? GOOD LUCK Koen :D Great timing with the vid BTW. Sweet setup you've got.

@GaryMcKinnonUFO 3 года назад

If you cure them for a couple of weeks they can be stored for 8 months. Might come in handy now that we have food shortages on the way.

@Klaa2 Not everyone grows or is able to grow their own food.

In London UK, by the time October comes there's nowhere outside that would be warm enough, so I put my (small) harvest of sweet potatoes in a plastic box like the one you had at the start, cover it with a constantly-damp towel and leave it in my sitting room or bedroom. I check and turn them gently every day or two for a couple of weeks until little wounds have crusted over. So far so successful!

@ThompsonSmith-dd2lo Год назад

Hello dear How are you doing today?

@mikeology3110 2 года назад

Thanks for all the really helpful information here. This is my first time growing sweet potatoes. The ones I could see and feel seemed kind of small so I decided to let them keep growing. Was worried I'd left them too long, so it's reassuring to know I can wait until frost. These are for home use, so the bigger the better. Curing them in cool dry weather is going to be a challenge.

@jonathanleiss914 3 года назад

Very helpful. Thank you. I especially love the tip about worm food 🤣. We had pigs for the first time this year and they also love sweet potatoes, so if you have pigs your can turn any bad ones into chops.

I cook sweet taters for my dogs, rabbits and box turtles! If only my cat would get on board.

It's so heartening to see how much confidence you have now as opposed to the darker times of the video.

@lisashadle1716 Месяц назад

Thank you for getting down to business and not wasting anyone’s time!!!! I come here first for that reason and you share so much info!!! Thank you!!!!

@corinnminyard4859 3 года назад

I wish I could send u a picture of what I just dug up in a big pot of sweet potatoes, your video was very informative, I didn't know about curing and didn't know that sweet potatoes don't die back, I kept waiting for them to flower and die back so the potatoes were in the pot probably for a year before I dumped it over. Well as i said what I found were some small, medium and one that can only be described as a deformed monster at the bottom of the pot. Over a foot long and one end look like a brain with a foot attached. It was very weird, creepy looking.. thanks for the info

@wendypanozzo9133 Год назад

@GaryMcKinnonUFO 3 года назад

I made sweet potato and carrot soup the other day, really tasty and full of goodness.

@ohanastrand5793 3 года назад

Fantastic information as always! Gonna give them a try next year. Thank you.

@j.reneewhite915 3 года назад

When you plant them for the first time give them their own space/bed and expect them to fill about 5' with greens per slip. It really becomes it's own jungle. Puerto Rico is supposed to be more bush type and less vine type.

@Brineytoes 2 года назад

What zone are you in? I am in zone 9A, (North Central Florida) and have 25 plants growing well now on April 1st. They are all 6-8-10 inches tall in raised beds. So, after 110 days, that will be mid-July when I can start harvesting. I should be able to cure them in our garage on a large table easily, and I will follow your advice about covering them. Then my dehydrator will work hard until most are dehydrated and powdered to make instant sweet potatoes. Thanks for all the great tips! It’s much appreciated!

Thanks for another great video. In Florida, our sweet potatoes come up year after year despite what we felt was a complete harvest. I’m now in WNC at 6b. I’m interested in propagating year to year. Do you ever have “volunteers” the following year? 10:12

They all had something like "...when to harvest..." in the title, but never explained WHEN to ACTUALLY HARVEST! Thank you sir! I liked, subscribed, and watched the rest of the video!
