I'm starting a new video series called The 400 Square Foot Garden. I'm going to teach you how to grow food from May thru Fall with a crop plan for succession plantings to take all of the guesswork out of growing. I'm hoping to inspire as many as possible to create a small sustainable garden using only a small 20x20 foot area in their backyard!

Lucy, for the newly harvested Lilac Beauty sweet potato: "Let's get a closer look." She is TOOO adorable! 💖💖💖

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

Haha she does a great job behind the camera!

[@vidasustentavel9465]

It's really cool to see people growing their own food. It would be great if more people acquired this habit. In addition to improving our health by consuming healthier foods, we contribute to preserving our planet by reducing the use of pesticides. It's even better with family, it encourages children to follow in their parents' footsteps. Congratulations on sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

Children are adorable, your daughter is a natural.

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

Thank you! I may be a little biased as their dad but I agree lol

[@carrieskinner3889]

Oh Lucy - The perfect sidekick! What a sweetie!

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

Right?! She’s the best

[@jennykiest169]

Lucy is a natural little video creator!!! Awesome harvest too!!!!! Mine did great this year too! I planted 11 slips and got almost 70 lbs of sweet potatoes!

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

Thanks! I’m going to have to start paying her to help record our videos, she’s getting pretty good with the camera. I didn’t weigh our potatoes yet but I know it was crazy heavy to carry the bin of them. Did you grow them in the ground or in deeper raised beds?

[@jennykiest169]

@@onceuponatinyfarm that will be awesome!!! She will be a great co host! I grew mine in the ground but my rows are mounded up about 18 inches. They were mainly 8n the loose soil. I dug down deeper but they were all in the mounded up row. I was so pleased with them! Wish i could share a picture of them with you!

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

@@jennykiest169that’s awesome I actually plan to try that method in the field next year. You could send pictures on Facebook through messenger I’d love to see them

[@neens1369]

This is such a fun activity with the young ones

[@onceuponatinyfarm]
