I grew mines in a 5 gallon self watering bucket. My first time growing them and now I have even bigger plans for next year! My mom was shocked when she saw them! Its so fun digging in the ground and discovering how big they get!

[@HangingwithKim]

Digging potatoes is like digging for treasure.

[@GardenAndGrub]

Amazing harvest. Next year when you start new slips can you show us how you do it? much thanks

[@HangingwithKim]

You bet! Below is a link to how I did it this year. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqKndHagntqggrMsi=Rh-w-v0mXXVfiUjj

Nice harvest! My family grew sweet potatoes and lots of food. I am going to start gardening too. New friend here!

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks, and welcome to the channel 😀

[@debichats8634]

What a great harvest! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 SO happy for you!!!❤

[@HangingwithKim]

Thank you so much!😁😁

[@GodsDesire4me]

Hey Kim. Very nice harvest. I’m going to try to grow some Asian sweet potatoes. I got some sprouts now. I’m excited to see what I get. Safe travels to you 😊

[@HangingwithKim]

Thank you. It seems I'm always on the road lately. I love Asian sweet potatoes. Delicious!

[@twrigh23]

Nice harvest and I feel you when I see some of those prices I’m like nope I’ll do it myself

[@HangingwithKim]

Thank you. Those prices are completely ridiculous.

[@Amarie1961]

That is a great harvest.

[@HangingwithKim]

Thank you!

[@youme-iq1sh]

I am so grateful you showed up in my recommendeds. I used to live in Englewood, grew up there. I moved to Springboro and back to Tipp City before moving to Clearwater, Fl. Very recently, my mother and brother were buried in Brookville and I am just devastated. I'm not trying to bring you down. It's extremely traumatic and a shock you wouldn't believe possible. Seeing you and the area takes me back there, thank you. I'm so glad the Lord put you here for me, thank you. My gardening here in SW Florida couldn't be any more different than in Ohio LOL. Thanks for connecting me back.

[@HangingwithKim]

Wow. I know all of those areas. I'm so sorry for your recent loss, but I hope I brought back some good memories for Ohio.

[@yeevita]

Great harvest! Those leaves look delicious! You could also keep those vines either in pots or in water for the coming spring.

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for the tip!

[@debracrews5216]

Show your neighbors how to plant what they like and you can have a neighborhood bartering system…they’re called grocery store veggies, get a scale so you can also compare to the store prices and know your yield! Congrats and way to go!

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for the tip and I really like the idea of how much I'm saving vs. The grocery store.

[@pureenergy5136]

You go ahead and take that win girl. "You did it". Nicely done..

Thank you! 💕 😊

[@kgs2127]

Potatoes are my favorite things to harvest..its like a treasure hunt and never gets old!

[@HangingwithKim]

I totally agree!

[@lanettelawrence6308]

In 2021 I planted sweet potato slits in in bags of crushed leaves and vegetables fertilizer. I grew the largest sweet potatoes and they were purchased from Lowe’s discount rack. I fertilized one time and left them alone because of my disability. I will always plant sweet potatoes and greens. I left them in the ground 120 days. This was my first time. I enjoyed your harvesting sweet potatoes.

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for watching. Sweet potatoes are one of the easiest veggies to grow. Set it and forget it. 😊 💕🍠

[@kellyevans2173]

I was so excited for you watching this 🎉. Your joy is contagious!

[@HangingwithKim]

😊 thank you

[@eloiserichmond4452]

I HARVESTED SOME OF MINE IN A 100 GALLON HORSE TUB YESTERDAY. AND I ALSO GREW MY OWN SLIPS THIS YEAR. MY HARVEST IS JUST AS GREAT AS YOURS. I GAVE THEM AWAY TO MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE.I GROW A BIG CONTAINER GARDEN JUST TO LOOK AT AND HAVE SOMETHING TO DO AND ENJOY. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I STILL HAVE ABOUT 15 CONTAINERS AND GROW BAGS TO HARVEST. I GIVES AWAY MOST OF MY GARDEN TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BLESS YOU.🥰🥰😃😃

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for watching! Gardening is so relaxing and peaceful. That's where I go when I need to meditate.

[@davina6134]

Kim, nice going, but Please don’t toss the sweet potato vines. *Take a tarp remove the soil from your 100 gallon container. *Then place ALL those lovely organic vines down in the bottom part of the container. *stomp them down a bit it you can but this is optional * put 1/3 the soil back soak it down with water *Then put the remaining soil back in the container. You have added height as well as good organics that will break down over winter. You can also save your banana peels and vegi scraps in the freezer all year long and place them on top of the vines after harvest, each year. This is much better than grass clippings and leaves. Some people chop healthy vegi vines up and leave them on the top to decompose then mix them back in next season when they amend with fertilizer. . you are inspiring keep up the good work.

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for the tip. I've never thought about adding the vines to the bottom of my container. I will be doing that going forward for sure. Thanks for watching! 😊💕💕

[@paulawing2502]

Wow, great harvest! You're so inspiring, thanks for sharing, Kim.

Hello Kim. The harvest was spectacular. Im hyped about growing next summer. Thx for the inspiration.

[@HangingwithKim]

Wonderful! You can do it too!!

[@angelasbusybeesgardenandho4627]

That's a beautiful harvest. You did that!

[@HangingwithKim]

😁😁😁😁 thank you!

[@TRTGCbyjroed]

Hey Sista Kim🖐🏾😁I’m here for your sweet potato harvest and it looks like an abundant one. I haven’t had much luck growing slips so I will probably purchase some slips. I agree with you they are a little pricey on Amazon. I tried to start my slips from the organic potatoes I purchased from the store 3 times and each time they would rot in the soil . I’m not giving up. Super motivated after watching your harvest.

[@HangingwithKim]

I will share my process next year as I start slips again. I was so excited with my harvest this year.

[@ladilynne]

I've been cutting mine up, blanching and freezing mine. For just me i have them in freezer ziplock bags. When cooked they taste just like freshly harvested!

[@HangingwithKim]

Great tip! I may do that with some of mine over the winter months when things slow down.

[@marthawalton8370]

God has blessed you for working so hard!! God is good!!

[@Cici1791]

Your sweet potato joy is awesome! And congrats on the great harvest. Oh, and don't toss the small ones. They are great as a sweet and flavourful thickener in soups!

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for watching. I use those small ones for yams. They are so tender and delicious.

[@gardeningthenaturalway648]

Your soil looks good, very "fluffy." I used comfrey tea, it's smells but the results are worth it.

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for watching. I need to grow and use Comfrey too. Maybe next year. I hear it's a perennial.

[@gardeningthenaturalway648]

@@HangingwithKim Yes it is a perennial. It's leaves and stems are useful for tea and salves, however, it's root has the greatest healing properties. When harvesting the root, only take half - it will continue to grow.

SUBSCRIBED! Hey those little skinny ones are not too small, they're perfect for slicing! Easy to cut and cook in a hurry. Good to have some skinnies as well as plump sweet potatoes imo 🙂👍

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for the sub!

[@lil_old_man202]

i grow my sweet potatoes in 15-gallon grow bags. that way, at harvest time, i only need to flip the bag over and pick out the potatoes. no digging required, especially deep digging. and i keep the skinny spindly ones for next year's slips. also, with 15-gallon grow bags, it's impossible to over water because the bags dry out pretty quickly.

[@HangingwithKim]

I've used 15 gallon bags as well, but this year, I grew bigger potatoes in my 100 and 25 gallon bags. Thanks for watching! 💕

[@trudellallen397]

The small ones are good also

[@HangingwithKim]

They taste just as good!😊

[@TheYankeeFarmer]

Wonderful harvest. I planted slips at the end of July and I am trying to patiently wait to harvest. I’m in Zone 7B in NC. Night time temps are in the 40’s so I’m a little concerned it might be too cold.

[@HangingwithKim]

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. If you have 120 days in ground, you should be good to go.

Dont discount those small potatoes. After rhey cure, you can slice rhem thin, and slice them up and saute them with a lilttle butter, add a little brown sugar & a touch of cinnamon, and have fried candied yams. Mmm, mmm. So sweet and tender.

[@HangingwithKim]

That's exactly what I do with the small potatoes. They make delicious yams. Yummy 😋

[@BrendaBodwin]

@@HangingwithKim Yes. Mmm. Your making me miss the family home in the mountains of TN now. Those are sure some good looking sweet potatoes. 😁👍❤

[@jamessteffens8337]

What soils or stuff do you put in your grow bag ? And how deep do you plant your slips? Thanks jim80

[@HangingwithKim]

Hi! I use small sticks and limbs in the bottom. Then, I add a thick layer of leaf mulch with only about 12 inches of potting mix on top. This year, I placed my plants down on the sides and only kept the top few inches above ground. I buried them about 4 inches deep, I believe.

[@barbaramcnair5463]

Kim, the frost may kill the vines, but your sweet potatoes should be okay. As long as it isn't a frost over multiple days or a freeze. Root crops can handle it.

[@HangingwithKim]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gabriellewis8699]

What size grow bag is that? How deep did you plant your slips? Did you buy your dirt or compost?
