I Stole A Few of Danny's Sweet Potatoes! Does Number of Days until Harvest Matter?

[@1288samson]

Don't mess with the mans sweet potatoes, good thing he loves you !👩‍❤‍👨

[@haou132]

Your hands are not dirty, dear Wanda, they are gardener beautiful hands that feed a family with gratefulness to our Creator !!! Blessings +++!!!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes, thank you. I may have to use that. I get so many telling me to have my nails done when videoing my hands. Lol

[@Omangallo]

@@DeepSouthHomestead I can't waste money on fancy nails when I'm digging in the dirt 😁 those things are expensive 😂

[@MyTNMtnHome]

Don’t get your nails done! My pediatrist has removed almost 30 toes from pedicures gone bad. I won’t risk a finger or toe anymore. Almost had the same happen to me and people go to that place in droves. Gardner nails are hard earned. Black hands from pinching tomato plants are the same.

[@agapefield]

Oh my! Those sweet potatoes look so good!

[@tammyharder7488]

Hello Ms Wanda and Danny I just wanted to share with you all and your viewers some of the different store brands of White Vinegar are changing to 4% acidity instead of 5 % acidity and if you are pickling you need 5% for it to make your food shelf stable so don't forget to look at the jugs before you buy them stay safe everyone!

[@dianajones1068]

May God continue to pour out his blessings upon you! Happy Harvesting!

[@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia]

Don't feel bad Wanda, i couldn't wait on mine either. I've been out twice already digging Potatoes from my German Butterball patch and frying tater patch. This is my first year growing "Lay's" Kennebec's down in Virginia instead of Northern Maine. The plants started yellowing up after 2-1/2 months and i figured they were done even with daily rainstorms, but after three weeks they greened back up and kept going so i couldn't figure it out. So i got my Toro Dingo mini skid steer and scooped up about 4 foot worth then backed into the grass and dumped it slowly out while spreading it and got almost 14 pounds worth of big number Lay's potatoes. Then i test dug some Rare German Butterball taters and they are still averaging around 3 inches and need more time, but were very good baked. They just melted in my mouth and taste like someone already buttered them. The skin dissolved without even chewing it also. Very good potato for people that have trouble sleeping. I Ate about 2 hands worth and slept for 12 straight hours.

[@serenitysealed485]

I am so glad that despite the drought that your efforts and prayers are producing such wonderful results. May God continue to bless you both in all that you do.

[@missiechako5917]

Wanda your Joy is just SO PRECIOUS ❤❤❤

[@Jomama02]

That brought a smile to Danny's face!

[@camperjack2620]

Wow, those are huge. The field looks great. My plants were not flowering, and I have not completed making all the Jadam soil amendments, so I am following Danny's advice to fertilize a lot. I just put some Hi-Yield 4-10-6 down, and the Lord blessed it with a 3 hour watering.

[@marleneppaul]

Good morning, what a great steal! Lol 😂. “Are you digging my tators?” That was hilarious, I love the south. I’m actually waiting for something called Anna’s wild yam cream that is supposed to help with my issues so yams are miracle potatoes. Your garden Is gorgeous so your sweet potatoes are going to be awesome. Congratulations!

Ms Wanda and Mr Danny, I was so excited seeing the sweet potatoes coming out of the ground. Best memories of my Mother and Aunt in the garden digging sweet potatoes came back to me watching Ms. Wanda. Thank you for sharing. I'm in Md and couldn't get any in this year, the weather has been up and down . Can't wait to see your other varieties come out of the ground soon. Take care stay cool.❤️

[@debbies2966]

Good morning Danny and Wanda. Wanda-ism: “Yes my hands are dirty. When you play in dirt you get dirty”😂. Those are a great size of sweet potato. Nice that you can harvest and eat them while waiting for the big harvest. Have a great day😊

❤❤❤. I ordered seeds in the past from Hoss. Love their videos

[@michaelhoggard591]

I understand the problems with the animals eating in to the goodies. I went out yesterday an found that something had gotten all of my grapes that was ripe. I was just about to pick as well. They were getting sooooooo sweet too. I was sooo mad!

[@stevemace1725]

I'm sure that picked Danny's spirit up! God blessed youens with a bountiful harvest.

[@kramitdreams]

Danny😂 you digging my sweet potatoes 😂 He sounded upset with you until he saw the size 😂😂 We've grown Georgia jets, beaugaud, covington...this year we just stuck to covington 😊

[@stevem6949]

Really enjoyed this video.Thanks for sharing.

[@donnadelong2781]

I planted a few sweet potatoes, which I like baked like a regular potato with butter only, or 1/3 sweet potatoes 2/3 russets with a big onion fried together.

[@ruthcowden1386]

Georgia Jets are the variety that I plant up here in Minnesota because most sources that I have read say they mature in 90 days. I look forward to watching your harvest!

[@texaschopper3091]

Ya. I bought some Georgia Jet and Mirasaki-29 from Hoss Tool also. They are taking off here. Growing in 10 gallon grow bags. Electroculture in my grow bags.

[@danielleterry2331]

I planted Georgia jets also , in my grow tubs…waiting on mine as I was a few weeks behind y’all on planting slips . Hope mine look as good as y’all’s

[@CraigRittenhouse-y3k]

I've grown Georgia Jets in Pennsylvania several years with good success. If you want a nice sized potato with good flavor these are what you want. The only draw back to them is they vine like crazy and take the area over with vines. One year, it was a good year for sweet potatoes, I dug one that was as large as a football. It still was fine tasting and not woody as I expected. Georgia Jets are a great variety if you can handle the vine length.

[@waydownyonder8446]

Love when you bring him outta his hole for a surprise. Thanks for another great video

Hi Wanda. Look at those great sweet potatoes. Time for some sweet potato fries and dessert 💓 Nice got rain too. Does look like might be time to harvest sweet potatoes. If wait until August their going to be some big sweet potatoes. The birds like the pears. Little brats! Looking forward if you share once the fries are done and dessert 😀 Blessings in Abundance to you both!!

[@bornagainbuddhist1969]

This is my first year planting sweet potatoes, had a frost in early June so it will be interesting to see if I get anything besides vines.... Fingers crossed I will get a couple to eat...

[@sandraking9650]

Good morning! Beautiful potatoes, I got a kick out of Danny saying, " you been in my potatoes?" LOL be blessed

[@stevephipps9305]

Love our Georgia Jets, soooo sweet.

[@hands2hearts-seeds2feedamu83]

I was given 5- 40lbs boxes or organic sweet potatoes. THEY all have slips, I am trying to get a few of the slips to root, in hopes I can still get some sweet pots to grow. I sure wish I has a way to can these sweet pots or a celler, big freezer.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Beautiful sweet potatoes!

[@christyhaley8972]

I love to have dirty hands and dirt under my nails I just received Danny’s sweet potato manual. My sweet potatoes in grow bags are looking great. I live in VA and I just planted 5lbs each of red and Yukon gold potatoes just too see if I could have success. 🤷‍♀️ appreciate y’all’s videos

[@alisonhallock7870]

Great looking potatoes this early! I'm trying to remember the term my Grandmother used for going out and pulling a few potatoes from under the plant... The crazy weather got the pears & peaches here. The Bees usually destroy our fruit if your not on your game. Enjoy the fresh sweet potatoes!

I like your arsenal. Otherwise, I'm looking up old-fashioned recipe book sweet potato recipes because, Wanda, you inspired me. And here in far north California, zone 9, onions, garlic, concord grapes, apricots, nectarines, and peaches are harvested, and saving broccoli seed, garlic clove seed, onion seed, squash seed, potato seed, and shelling pea seeds. Strange that the squirrels are eating my yet ripe bell pepper. Never saw them eat peppers. Watch out for September in this nation.

[@pilsplease7561]

you can grow anything in zone 9 basically. Garlic is a bit tough due to the heat though. I am growing sweet potatoes right now they were slow to develop and im going to leave them in the ground for a few more months longer than recommended to get somebig taters

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

​@@pilsplease7561elephant garlic does well in heat.

[@pilsplease7561]

@@DeepSouthHomestead Yes but we are more known for growing most of the supply of softneck garlic in the US here.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

@@pilsplease7561 Because of the geomagnetic changes in the earth it is going to be more difficult to grow the soft neck garlic in the future.

This is my first year growing sweet potatoes. The vines are looking amazing up here in Northern Indiana. We've definitely been getting some heat recently! I am still not seeing any blossoms though. About how long before harvest should I be seeing them? Just want to be sure there's no reason to be concerned at this stage of the game. Our first frost is typically mid-October if that helps. Thanks! I'm fairly new to your channel and have been greatly blessed by all the videos I've watched so far!

Can you share your sweet potato desert recipes . I like Danny I love sweet potatoes. I have three varieties planted also but they just started running. And trying to keep the deer off them . Had two places of corn and the stinking deer have eat it up . I saw one corn in my garden next to the house that’s the Jack pot and hope they will leave me that one to try . Next year I will have a seven foot fence around both my gardens..

[@sandraking9650]

Danny & Wanda, how long to cure potatoes after digging please? Thankyou

[@kansasterri5977]

GEORGIA JET sweet potatos are listed as being 100 DAYS to harvest. I have grown them because we only get 90-odd days of heat in the summer and so long-season varieties do not yield well. Sweet potatos do NOT like our cool spring and fall and so I raise the short-season varieties

[@durrdogg]

I planted some sweet potatoes in straw like Pinball does. Worked great last year. Now plants not growing at all. I’m replanting them elsewhere. Some of them are from Hoss. Wondering if the straw is bad with that chemical you told us about

We can grow Beauregard variety in the UK, so don't be surprised if you get huge ones in your climate.

[@pilsplease7561]

Beauregard is the best cultivar of sweet potato, its the most disease resistant, crack resistant, shortest growing cycle, and to top it all off its the sweetest of all of them, they are trying to railroad people into planting the inferior covington which is trash, its uniform and small in size thats why but the flavor is terrible and it gets diseases left right and center.
