My Nova Scotia Sweet Potato Harvest

In this harvest video I share how I grew sweet potatoes in Nova Scotia as well as sunchokes. My growing zone is 6A.
Cheers!

Oven with the light on with a pan of warm water for curing. Super harvest.

In the end, I put them in a paper bag in our closet above the freezer, where it's warm and dark. They are delicious 😋.

Coisa boa poder colher um alimento assim, no quintal de casa, sem agrotóxico, muito mais saudável. Aqui no Brasil também consumimos muita batata doce. Vários pratos podem ser preparados com ela.

I cured mine in clear plastic boxes that I set in front of a sunny window. Worked great. My sweet potatoes were pulled up in September and are still fresh in storage.

They seem pretty easy to cure, I just put mine in paper bags in a warm place, and they are delicious.

@@jackofallissue6661 I tried paper bags too, but the result wasn't as good. Probably because I'm in a cool Northern climate but hadn't started heating the house yet, so the plastic was helpful for boosting the heat and humidity.

@Cici1791 Thanks for the confirmation, I was afraid the plastic and humidity might make them mold... I had mine moist in a cool place for a couple weeks and then dry in the paper bag in a warm place and they came out delicious. Doesn't seem to be much of a science, everyone has different techniques for curing. Cheers!

@@jackofallissue6661 Oops, minor yet major detail I forgot to mention: my plastic boxes did have holes in them (big, upcycled Costco produce containers). And yes, the best option is the one that works for you... because homegrown sweet potatoes are so much better than they shop-bought variety, at least in my jurisdiction. Firmer, fresher and way tastier!
