I actually just spread them out in the warmest room in our home and keep them out of sunlight in about 4 to 6 weeks the starches have converted to sugar and we are eating them by Thanksgiving , we will save some to grow next year's slips they will keep in storage from this October to next year around September and October we eat the smallest first because they seem to not store as long as the larger ones thanks for watching 👍

You had another awesome harvest !! We pulled ours yesterday and they were about the size you were getting . We ended up with 2 feed sacks full I would think around 100 pounds or so .

[@annareich4176]

Is sure the condensation from the AC unit kept them watered all summer lol. I use it on my plants to utilize it. I keep a 5 gallon bucket under the outlet pipe and empty it when it's full . you could run a section of old garden hose down the bed with small holes in it to gravity water that bed . If it gets to be to much you could collect it for future use or use in other areas.

[@lizzywood4411]

Hello, I was one of your subscribers last year had a sorry "harvest" of a handful skinny green bean size of murasaki and stoke sweet potatoes. This 2023 I planted beauregard in piles of birch leaves in a 1 x 9 foot raised bed, and got about 10 pounds of mixed size sweet potatoes , not bad for me, too bad they are not as sweet as what people say, the worst part is most of them had chewing marks from some unknown soil pests. I think you made a video earlier this year about how to prep your new raised bed soil to plant SP, use a little lime sort of ? could you please give me the link ? and some advise to treat those pests for next year. Thank you very much. and congratulation for your marvelous harvests.

[@citylotgardening6171]

Our first sweet potato harvest video for this year was better than this one more potatoes and bigger its the video loaded before this one called Amazing sweet potato harvest check it out it's the best harvest so far for us , and what we did was amend the soil with potting mix , composted cow manure , grass clippings , leaves , bone meal and organic tomato and vegetable fertilizer early in the spring before planting our slips . I've grown several different varieties including the one's you have grown and Georgia Jet is by far the best in my opinion from our results for size and number of potatoes , as far as your pests it could be voles or moles we used small live mouse traps from Amazon and caught the voles and released them in the forest (we don't kill the animals ) . We also used a castor oil spray made for moles to repel them and it worked we bought it from Lowe's hardware . If these don't work I would suggest moving your sweet potato planting spot to a different area all together we did and it stopped the chewing problem for us hope this helps friend I have video's on our channel of earlier plantings and how we did it I will be doing a video in the spring of exactly how we plant them and how we amend the soil thanks for watching 👍

[@citylotgardening6171]

@@lizzywood4411 one thing I forgot to mention Lizzy is that All varieties of sweet potatoes need to be cured after harvest before eating them the curing process converts the starches in the sweet potato to sugar to make them sweet it's a simple process of harvesting the sweet potato leaving the soil on them (don't wash them) and storing them in a very warm environment out of direct sunlight for a few weeks the warm dark environment will convert the starches into sugar then they are ready to be eaten I have a video on our channel called How we cure and store our sweet potatoes if your interested on this process thanks again 👍

We tilled up the soil in both areas and added compost for next year's grow but didn't find anymore potatoes just roots I thought for sure I missed some but only found roots they actually grew right around the base of the plants maybe because we grew the vines vertically on the trellis that stopped the vines from pinning along the ground and growing small potatoes everywhere 👍
