Great harvest. That's the best looking Georgia Jets I've seen. I'm in upstate South Carolina and they split badly and often grow round or turnip shaped. It's the only sweet potato variety I've grown that does that. My garden soil is a sandy loam over a stony clay subsoil. It's perfect for growing sweet taters, just not Georgia Jet. I grew Bayou Belle, Orleans, Evangeline, Murasaki, Burgundy, and White Triumph this year. Bayou Belle had the highest yield with almost 250 lbs. from 22 plants, in a 25 ft row. I grow them in ridges that are about two foot wide at the base, tapering to a foot across the top. The Bayou Belle was harvested at 97 days after planting. I had a lot of taters that were over four lbs. each. I harvest them big because the vast majority of my taters are cooked and fed to my feeder pigs. I also grow a lot of Irish potatoes and feed the majority to the pigs.

[@citylotgardening6171]

Wow friend now that's a harvest , I wish we didn't have so much hard clay soil here ours would probably do a little better we didn't have the splitting issue you have mabe your humidity and rainy conditions don't suit this variety I'm originally from NC and worked alot at the coast in SC I know how humid you guys have it thanks for watching 👍

[@citylotgardening6171]

Nice calculations friend I would hate to have to harvest that amount the way I harvest lol thanks for watching 👍

[@hannah20071000]

To be fair, you'd also have to count the space used against the wall, where the majority of the green growth was. That means you could not duplicate this result on an acre of continuous ground since most of hte space was used vertically. If you did another row just like this one, the back row would be completely shaded by the first, meaning it's not repeatable for an acre of land. Farming is about land use, and this was a good use of vertical space that would otherwise not be used for growing. In a field of potatoes, of course vertical space is worthless, since it would shade out horizontal space.

If you have a buddy who has a large garden you should borrow their spading/potato fork for the day. Looks like you got a really nice crop from your square foot garden space.

[@lilypudd]

", Don't mine getting my hands dirty!"🤣

[@citylotgardening6171]

If your digging potatoes your certainly getting your hands dirty but that's the fun of it all 👍

[@nyawja]

Seeing those sweet potato sprouts make my mouth water, blanched then toss/dipped in soy sauce with onion and tomatoes gives me childhood flashbacks

[@citylotgardening6171]

I'm glad I could help bring those memories back friend thanks for watching 👍

[@juliesilvaggio804]

Very therapeutic to watch harvesting sweet potatoes!

[@citylotgardening6171]

I enjoyed harvesting them lol thanks for watching 👍

[@mjremy2605]

Wow, what a harvest!! Good nutrition! I like to mash them up with an egg while still hot, some heavy cream, chicken bouillon paste (Superior Touch), a dash of mace or nutmeg, some chili powder, salt, pepper, and use an immersion blender to puree them thickly. This is easy. Another way is to chop and steam them then stir fry with Swiss Chard from your garden - the rainbow colored chard. Use Indian five spices (Panch Phoran), chopped onion, fresh garlic and you have a superfood dish. Of course you could roast them in the oven and sprinkle with chicken wing sauce (see recipe online), yum! How do you replant? Just cut the top off or the whole tuber? How do you store them in pantry? There is nothing like fresh potatoes! They are so crisp. Then you realize those in the store were put in freezers from last year. Try baby white potatoes freshly dug up. Steam them, and toss in a mayo and apple cider dressing, along with mustard, salt, pepper, red onions chopped. So good!!

We cure and store them inside for the winter I just uploaded a video on my channel of how we do this so we can store them and eat them all winter and spring then we use the largest one's to make our slips to plant next year , I also have a video on our channel of how we make our own slips from the last year's sweet potatoes check them out if your interested and thanks for watching friend 👍
