Sweet Potato Harvest!

[@keilarsbraegrower1581]

The simple pleasure of harvesting crops is hard to beat.

[@HappySunshine37288]

If you can figure out a way to ship those slips, so they don’t die, you may be able to sell them to your viewers if people are interested and it’s cost effective.

[@mayshomesteadchronicles]

Those vines make great nitrogen for the compost pile btw! I just use my machete to chop them up smaller

[@Mansahx]

Hey, bro. A lil advice from one grower to the next…. To get more taters. Trim back the foliage before it get to that level. You only want vines/leaves to grow enough to Cover the area that your expecting to grow/produce taters. Your taters shoots put more energy into the leave & foliage than taters. You can control that by “topping” or cut off leading shoots that grow outside of your taters growing area. Also, the soil need to be really really porous or lose so that the tater shoots don’t have to work hard to break thru the soil to grow bigger. Lastly, add boat loads of compost. Taters love compost. And I would suggest making your tater rows higher or build them higher. Example. Make beds 2ft wide, 20ft long and 3-4 high. High pile are easy for taters to grow easier to harvest. Just a thought. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@johac7637]

Yes it sure helps, commercial growers have a flail mower that straddles the rows and the prune.

[@truthgha]

Ashes? How much should I use?

[@salma0000]

Yeah I noticed the soil as well.

[@jeaninelester7847]

Agree with what he said....and you can eat the vine trimmings and leaves !! 😊

[@PepperBlue78]

Thanks for the tips!

[@willie9767]

Good morning praises d Lord pice n blessings to my garden friend I enjoyed your show.u taught m a lesson on sweet potatoes growing

[@deborahthompson5041]

Fantastic harvest. You worked hard. Good job, enjoy your harvest.

[@olgamartha5727]

Oh, I had a friend from Africa, who cooks And love to eat the leaves. Actually, they were sold at a market! When I told her what I’d seen, she got so excited and rushed immediately to the market and bought some! It’s like greens, maybe mustard greens, etc. well, they’re green! Look what is thrown away or fed to animals but it’s also highly prized as food to some folk.

[@susiesanchez3811]

For me being Taiwanese in California I saw this Asian market they have sweet Potatoes leafs for $3.00 USD a pound.

[@hejiahan]

My Ma loves it the greens by father is still getting over the idea of eating pig feed Lmao.

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

@@susiesanchez3811 and just to think, so many people just throw them away not realizing how nutritious they are. $3 a pound, wow

[@roadcoadog]

To me it's a smoother taste like spinach, mustard, collard has a bitter harsher taste. i really didn't care about the potatoes, i was just focus on the greens ...

[@ireneofrias5949]

Very nutritous the leaves of sweet potato..here in the philippins very expensive

[@mistycarter9809]

First time seeing your channel, my husband and I both found you very informative and funny! I will be watching more now!

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

Thanks for stopping be the channel we are happy to have you guys.

[@Christine-hh3yb]

😊😊

[@dianeedwards8365]

I feel like you can still use the ones the "pests" nibbled on...cut off the end that was eaten far enough into tater to feel comfortable, peal, boil and add brown sugar and apple pie spices and little bit of butter.....wonderful candied yams...........also any that you accidently scratch can be used the same way.........

[@greatafrican913]

In Liberia 🇱🇷 "potatoe greens " are a delicacy. Very good with fried fish.

[@markjordan1765]

We plant a lot of acres of sweet potatoes also. My friend yours are looking very good. We plant George jet and Hayman. Jesus Christ is so good to us.

We've learned that sharing with nature is to be expected. Especially when you are growing food naturally without harsh chemicals. Just glad to be able to harvest some food for us as well after nature has had its share. Peace and blessings family

[@luadraponies]

So many of them because of your banquet. Fertility based on supply. Different country, what catches them. Would a bucket trap with food and a ramp in get them, like mice.

I wish you would have let us watch you pull up the sweet potato vines I just think it's soothing watching people grow what they're going to eat it's amazing it reminds me of me and my mom and my neighbor we used to have a battle of the gardens.

All during growing season you can harvest the tender new growth of those leaves like greens. It won't hurt the potatoes so it's like a twofer. The greens and then the potatoes. Nice video ✌️💪

Another channel said the vines make good feed for animals, like sweet potato vine hay. So, if you have someone nearby, they might appreciate the contribution to their animals, good when turn black. Also the tender top leaves are good in a salad, completely edible. Subscribed. Beautiful harvest!

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

Thanks for watching. We have goats here on the homestead and they absolutely love sweet potato slips.

[@cordelia7313]

Beautiful harvest!! Cows love them also!! We have a momma cow that got out and ate ours 3 times this year. One day my husband came home and I had no idea she was out. She was just standing and munching till her heart was content. LoL

Try this to scare away moles or voles. Get juicy fruit gum keep the sticks in there foil but rip each piece in half burry the piece with the wrap on it. It will take care of your problem! Bury it near where you see there holes.

There is not a more proud moment than pulling up root veggies. You have no idea the size until harvest time when you dig and uncover your treasure. That's makes the surprise that you pull up even more special.

Hello from London. We`ve got sweet potatoes here, mostly imported from the US . I and my family eat them 2 times a week cooked in different forms. They`re delicious and nutritious. It was a pleasure to watch. Best regards and best of luck to you. ❤

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

If you can, you can always use one to sprout some slips to plant your own. Have you given that a try?

[@Forevertrue]

You know you can cook up those small ones all at once and keep them in the fridge, and put a couple of spoon fulls in Biscuits or pancakes and bread. It really does help stretch them and it tastes good too.

Beautiful harvest and beautiful plants. Could you maybe protect each hilled row with hardware cloth bent over it? Or maybe surround the whole patch? I saw some people planting their sweet potatoes under plastic with the leaves planted through holes. Not sure if rodents/voles go through plastic. If so, maybe the hardware cloth?
