Ms. Lori, just looking at your potato slips brought back memories of mama and hers she would look upon them and just whisper, my cup runnith over and over😢. How I miss my mama so much. God bless you and Mr. Brown.

[@johnwick4257]

Can you help me? New gardener. Do you put the pointy end in the water jar, or the rounder end in the water? Thank you, and God bless!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thats Beautiful

[@ZeliaMello-s3m]

Can we do the same with regular sweet potatoes?

[@ZeliaMello-s3m]

Sorry Mrs Lori hello from Massachusetts how are you doing today and the Mr I pray ❤️ all is well.

[@shelwhitley1011]

Thanks for sharing this video while us.

[@jsellick6468]

Dear Miss Lori, Thank you for brightening this dreary, rainy day with another delightful video! Wish I could send you some rain for your beautiful, newly planted sweet potatoes. Love watching you plant while listening to your calm southern accent! Yesterday I watched you make your Coca Cola chicken and it looked wonderful! You make everything look so easy and simple! Mr. Brown was certainly enjoying it…….I’ll take his word for it!🤗🤭 How do I go back and watch your very first videos? I’ve missed so much. Have a happy weekend! 💕💕Jackie🪷

You could also use the greenery to cook like spinach. The leaves are so tasty.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

That's true!

[@dfuss2756]

I love how you take your time and explain everything in detail. Thanks.❤

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

You are so welcome!

[@cottagekeeper1044]

This is a wonderful video. I really appreciate it! Where did you find your sweet potato? 🍠 thanks so much.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I found them last year at Krogers I kept some made slips planted my own they are organic Japanese purple

[@carolthomas770]

I'm going to get one now! I've seen them at our store in S.Ohio.❤​@@WhippoorwillHoller

[@kathylane5934]

Mine has roots no sprouts. Came from store. They make beautiful house plants. Used to grow all over window

[@beautifulfretboard2299]

And you can eat the leaves

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Yes!

[@cathyburns750]

Thank you Mrs. Lorie! I had a sweet potato for supper tonight. Not as good as an autumn sweet potato though! I wonder if they hold their nutritional value this long if harvested in spring. Thanks for sharing!! God bless you both!!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thats a good question I think they get sweeter

[@CarolynSprafka]

Where was this when i did my garden some 40 years ago.

[@bizzybee852]

Ms Lori, did you know that you can eat the sweet potato leaves? Sweet potato greens (the leaves) are widely eaten throughout Asia & Africa, they are less well known to most of us in the U.S. The good news is they're edible and delicious, high in Vitamin C and B6. And that makes sweet potatoes even more of a great survival crop. Once you plant all of the sweet potatoes that you want, you could use the rest of the leaves to cook as greens to see how you and Mr. Brown like them. I live in rural Georgia, do you think it is too late for me to grow some sweet potato slips? How long does it take to grow the slips from a sweet potato? Which sweet potatoes do you like the best, or do you have a preference between the red Beaugard or the purple Japanese sweet potato?

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Yes! Your right the leaves are very good for you You still have time And we don't harvest till fall

[@milliealger3539]

Ms.Lori you are a gem

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

THANK YOU

[@myrtisfunderburg8355]

I never raised sweet potatoes, or at least I didn't think I have. I have started sweet potatoes just like you did using the sweet potatoes. Then I planted ir in a hanging flower pot just for the vines. Since I seen what you do, I thinking it might had made some baby sweet potatoes in the pot. I never thought about it. Glad you shown us this ,it gives me some ideas. About the rain, you can have it, I just received over 6 inches of rain this past week, I don't need any more for awhile. It wash my garden away and got to start all over again when it get dry enough. My place stays wetter than a lot of other people, cause I'm at the bottom of 3 hills. That makes me have a latter garden than most, but when it makes it really makes. Hope you guys get some rain soon. God bless you both .😊

[@glendajacobs5464]

I learned alot from you. I just ordered my first green house. I cant wait to get it set up and start my seedling. Thank you and God bless.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Wonderful!

So happy for you...enjoy your greenhouse!

[@balinda4935]

Wow! That sweet tater has really blessed ya in many ways.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Yes indeed!

I just started my slips today and ate one from last year for supper😊 When we lived in West Africa, I learned to make sweet potato leaf sauce to go with rice! Tasty!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

So good!

Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us. Did you know if you were stranded on a desert island and you only had a choice of one food, you could live the longest on sweet potatoes? 😊

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Good point!

I hope there's butter and cinnamon on that island! 😋 😉😁

[@TannaPhillips]

Great info!!!!

[@possumlips]

Me and my wife have been watching your videos for a few years now and we were wondering if you plan on doing any pickled eggs and or sausage recipes? There are so many different ingredients people use we're not sure which would be the best for us as we both prefer them to not to be hot but spicy is okay. Also because sweet Jalapenos are hard to find near us, like the pickled eggs and sausage, we'd like to try pickling our own of them as well. We also are retiring and bought a R.V. we haven't used yet and hope to see you'all on the road one day as we live close to you in Oklahoma. Thank you.

[@Strait_fan]

I had to quit mulching with straw here in Oklahoma. I put it down pretty thick to keep the weeds down but the only thing I could grow was copperheads. 😮

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

YIKES

[@deewinston5651]

Wow Lori, your sweet potato is doing amazing. Praying y’all will have a great harvest.❤️✝️🙏

[@tamararoberts9307]

I cook some of the leaves 🍃 and eat them 😋

[@wandavalachovic1594]

Ms Lori, I have never heard of running sweet potatoes on a fence or panel. My Dad always just let the vines run on the ground.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Yes it's pretty vines

[@bevballard7516]

Loved the slips when I lived in an apt I just grew the slips they are so pretty. Gave me a little Garden feel. Because life is a Garden. Dig it♥️Love you Miss Lori

[@vickifrakes9488]

So do you plant the shorter slips or any of them? My Dad planted and weeded the garden and my Mom would do the picking and canning. Dad would dig the taters. Miss those days. Dad’s garden was beautiful. Straight clean rows.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Yes but I let them root

[@loriflarson4236]

My sweet potatoes are putting on any slips yet. If you weren't keeping the original potato as a houseplant, could you plant it too?

[@susanfryer1616]

I’m gonna get me a sweet potato , and it does make a lovely plant

[@ladysmith3578]

I’ve never had the purple sweet potatoes. Is the flavor completely different that the white or the red ones. I’m anxious to see all of your garden put together and your flowers. Have a blessed evening. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Well not as sweet but very good roasted or baked with butter

[@ladysmith3578]

@@WhippoorwillHoller Thank you. I will definitely try them. 🙏🏻

[@annetteroberts8505]

What do you do with the potato after you have all the slips you need please xx

ITS USUALLY NO GOOD BY THE END

Yeah so much rain my bridge is under water.

[@erinjohnson8140]

Love your hair and beautiful face!! 🖤💜🖤💜

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you so much 😀

[@donnadillon1288]

Was wondering how long did it take for the vines to grow before you take them off to replant. We usually buy the plants already with roots on them and if we try to make our own would help from not have to pay for them. They can be costly here in our area in Indiana. Thanks love all your videos for cooking and planting.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

ABOUT 2 WEEKS

[@ClickinChicken]

Slips? No, I'm not wearing one. Gardening, feels like a lost cause up here. But I done did it before. Lots of Green tomatoes, and orange. pole Beans and Cucumbers do well.

[@jenniferphillips1002]

Does the sweet potato water ever smell?

[@wandaflowers9108]

How often do you change the water in the jar

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

About every 3 days

[@Pinkchan2919]

How many taters are on each slip when you dig them up

[@kathysherrill7243]

I wish I could get my family to eat sweet potatoes but they just won't.

[@kathygoskey6701]

So you said they like warm soil…. Do you think San Antonio is too hot for them? I really want to try growing them,

[@jimmyjames372]

Sweet potatoes grow all over the south from Texas to across the South in Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia. Many other southern states.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

SHOULD DO GREAT

[@dianeboettcher5775]

Thank you for showing how you start your sweet potato slips. I am glad you showed how you “harvested” the slips from your main sweet potato. I love how you help us learn to be self-sufficient.

[@Debbie19M]

I was hoping you would demonstrate how to pluck the slips. Might seem basic but if you have never seen it done you can't know how. Thank you and many blessings

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I did I show in the video

[@apiecemaker1163]

She did. It’s at about the 13 minute mark. Hope that helps. God bless and happy gardening.

[@libertyandjustus8258]

Also , check out her last video before this one. She shows how to pick off the slips. She encouraged me to grow them for the first time. I've been gardening for 40 Years. However, I have tried sweet potatoes. Anyways, the last video gave closer info for starting and picking the slips. But I've also watched people grow their sweet potatoes in a half pan of soil and it seems to start even better. Research what will do best for you and your area ❤

[@apiecemaker1163]

I love sweet potato pie!!! You certainly have a green thumb. My mother used to do well with her garden. Mine is hit and miss. Some years are wonderful, others are flops. Of course, sometimes little furry critters get under the fence and they get more out of it than I do. I can't say that I really mind. They have to eat too. I hope you have a bumper crop. God Bless!

I am glad you explained what a slip is because I have never heard of a sweet potato slip! I guess you can tell I am a city girl!

That's what I do every year, I start my own slips. And I get my irish white potatoes i used some of my old potatoes from last year. I always have some of the best potatoes. My dad takes me to grow my own sweet potato slips and start my Irish potatoes. Thank you ms lori so many people don't know how to do these. Sweet potatoes are very important for ladies to eat it help with so many issues from young ladies to 70 years old. Going through the "change" in life at every woman's life. Those sweet potatoes are so good to help with those. And sweet potatoes are just good how every you cook them.
