We are getting ready to harvest up here in Oregon in a week or two, and if ours are half as big as yours I'll be happy! 😂 We planted in grow bags about mid May, but had to wait till end of June to put slips in ground. We had quite a cold start to our growing season. But a test dig a few mornings ago showed some decent potaties, so I'm hopeful for a good harvest!

Late seeing this one as been real busy here. Pulled ours out yesterday 10/14 and got 43 lbs. I asked a question on another video but I see that one you pulled out on this all grown together is what I think our big one did but no daylight thru the middle. Looks like a big brain at just over 9 lbs.

[@citylotgardening6171]

@@2olvets443 I'm not sure on these growing together like this last year they didn't do this , my mistakes this year was not watering enough because of the severe drought we had and not fertilizing after planting like I did the year before we suffered with smaller potatoes and alot less yield so this is a good humbling lesson for me lol 👍

It could be much worse compared to me. I'm dealing with my next-door neighbor's dog because it is digging up my sweet potatoes in my fenced-in yard. However, I am tired of filling in all of those holes and replanting my vegetables that the dog torn up. I am hoping to get 10 pounds of sweet potatoes if lucky. Yes, I changed my planting locations several times. This is getting really old. This dog done dug up my edger for my yard and drag it into his yard. No, this is not a puppy but a grown dog. I can't seriously take it anymore. Yes, I tried talking to the neighbors about their dog, but nothing seemed to work. I guess animal control is my last stop. This year has been my worst for my garden. I don't think that the dog was ever trained. 😕 Sad but true

[@citylotgardening6171]

@@jacquelinedarby1076 sorry to hear that but I do have a suggestion that really works I know this because I'm doing it for my next door neighbors husky , get on Amazon and check out Patriot electric fence energizer or go to Patriotglobal.com this is a electric fence energizer made to keep deer and dogs and cats out of your garden you get the control box that plugs into a outside outlet then you run the wires around the area or along the inside of your fence and then when he touches the wire it gives a shock that he will not like and this will stop him from digging along the bottom of your fence you can also watch the KZbin video's of this energizer working on deer and other animals and it's very reasonably priced . We got the electric fence energizer and the aluminum wire and the plastic insulators for around $ 50 dollars And It Works check it out friend watch the video's and my neighbors big husky won't go near our bushes any longer lol 👍

[@sylvialyles919]

If you don't buy the fencing, record the dog in the act just in case you need it! Good luck!

[@jacquelinedarby1076]

Update on my neighbors dog: Animal control came and got the dog because it brutally killed her mate. This is a sad situation 😞. Anyway, does anyone know why sweet potatoes leave turns yellow? Last week, I had 2 pots of sweet potatoes that were dark green, and now I only have 1pot that is continuing on with the dark green color; however, the other pot started turning yellow. I planted them in May of 2024, and I normally take them out of the pots in November. This is the first time that I have ever seen this. Should I wait a while before taking the sweet potatoes with the yellow leaves out of the pot, or could this a mineral issue or rodents concerns?

Sweet potatoes are pretty heavy feeders. So if you are not amending that soil, each successive year the crop will be smaller and smaller.

[@LJones-uu4xy]

I would say you had a good harvest! Don’t know which way that wall is facing, but am guessing that part of the reason the potatoes are doing so well is because they are somewhat protected there against the wall.
