Planting SWEET POTATO Slips ~~ FORAGING ~~ Cooking at the Off Grid Cabin

[@Southerngrl]

Love this video! Thx Mr. Danny and Mrs. Wanda I can’t get enough of your videos! Someone recommended me to y’all bc I’m in zone 9B and I’m so thankful. Your real life simple ways of living are what this world is going to need to keep going! I also appreciate the prayers in the live streams, also, the porch time is a must for me since this virus. I’d hope to one day turn from the suburban garden I have to an actual homestead. The amt of work you put into this, I have the utmost respect and admiration! Happy Easter. Jesus is Lord!

Great job planting sweet potato slips

[@RomanianSimpleLife]

The berries looks great!

[@Cindysmiths-homesteadlife]

Oh yes I saved this video. Thank you! Speak about poison, cleaning up around the land, I ended up getting into it not knowing that was what it was and both arms broke out. Love your videos and all the teaching you do here. I have learnt so much from you guys

[@denisebrady6858]

Miss Wanda & Danny Thanks for this video as it made me smile for the day- I planted a week ago all my beautiful seedling plants that I have been watching like a hawk & have lost them all due the extreme change in our weather here in Brisbane Australia - we are now back to 31C days & it doesn't look like letting up- very despondent at the moment, but your video has lifted me. Cheers Denise - Australia

Thanks Wanda and Danny. I would have added a few raisins on top of the apples but that is just my preference. Much Love

Yall need to set up a gutter system on your high tunnel, it's perfect for collecting rainwater

Canibal chickens? Put a back slope in the nest box floor and a slit on the back board, when the eggs pop out they roll away!

[@sunkisshomesteadgardens9997]

I've never had carrots with apples sounds good I plan on trying it.In the summer I love cooking outside keeps the heat down in the house I definitely plan on checking out the stove. Danny that's a nifty way of planting potatoes never seen it done that way before definitely worth trying out I love to try anything that keeps the body from having to work so hard

[@valeriab9735]

Wow awesome way to plt. Look at that clay...Wanda if u get a jug of cinnamon from Sam's or Costco sprinkle it on ur ants an o mygosh works awesome. We had giant fire ant Hill literally covered the tree trunk with a path like u see in African documentary I sprinkled cinnimo. An they are entirely gone.

[@judygoodson5855]

Greetings Danny & Wanda.... i watched this last yesr and replayed as im going to try sweet potato this year. You have mentioned fire ants a few times... my Dad was able to get rid of them. He would not disturb the nest but spread grits around the hole may 1/4 to half a box.... they would pick it up feed the colony... they swell up and explode. Nest dies.

[@saffronbay]

First time ever seeing or hearing of a dragon pot. I like that. I’ll have to look into where to find them & get prices.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

I love mulberry’s I seen my first white mulberry tree about 2 year ago

[@FairieChele]

Good morning, Danny and Ms Wanda! Things are looking amazing at your place. I have my seedlings coming up and have finally convinced my sister to grow a garden this year!! It's sure taken her long enough. I'll be planting my usual veggies, but am adding potatoes and sweet potatoes as well. Thank you for the very informative videos. I certainly appreciate every one of them. Much love and blessings!!

[@pattiripley7599]

Firm but not crunchy - al dente best way to eat many good veggies. Doesn’t cook out all the goodness and keeps all the flavor

[@missmamtube]

Shalom! Great video Mr. Danny and Miss Wanda, and a beautiful farm. Where can I get me one of those forking sticks? :) Blessings to you and yours

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Just cut mine out of the woods.

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Thanks Wanda and Danny! We had a massive mulberry tree in the yard at childhood home. My Mom hated the mess we tracked into the house, but me and my siblings loved the fruit. 😋

[@1982MCI]

Good morning Danny and Wanda!! Have you done a video in the past of how to grow your own sweet tater slips in a hotbed? I’ve gotta get some started pretty quick but that’s one thing I’ve not done yet and it’s bout impossible to find slips lie we used to get, everybody has swapped over to carrying the little six packs of sweet potato plants from Bonnie’s at 20 times the Leicester that we used to get a pack of 100 slips wrapped in wet newspaper. I’be got an extra hot bed that I want to use to grow slips for myself and several other farms in my area. I’m sure you have a video showing how but I couldn’t find it looking thru your library of videos and didn’t know if you could give me a link. Thank you Danny & Wanda. Heading out to plant other stuff now, take care guys, the greenhouse turned out phenomenal btw!!! Oh, and I’m so jealous of the mulberry trees!!! That’s my favorite fruit of all. We had mulberries growing up and I really wish u could find a source to get a few mulberry trees to plant here at the farm. I’m the same way with the way I like my carrots cooked. It’s called “aldente” when you cook something and it’s lost it’s crunch but is not mushy and still a bit firm. I don’t think 🤔 I spelled it correctly but it’s the same way that macaroni and pasta are sposed to be cooked so look 👀 on a box of pasta if you have one in the pantry and see if it has the proper spelling in the instructions. Ya’ll be safe and take care, I’m gonna grab my walking stick and head out to the fields now and get planting. I’m planting 20 times as much this year as I normally do but folks are gonna need it this year and I’m gonna help provide. I’m also breaking up an extra acre of ground this year also which will give me just over ten acres now I’m growing on. I sure wish I had a young set of hands to help me but with God’s help and guidance I’m gonna manage it somehow!! Thanks for all the awesome videos guys!!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It's in the cards at the top corner of the video.

[@1982MCI]

Deep South Homestead thanks Danny, I’ll check on it there

[@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune]

Easy way to plant sweet potatoes . Meal looks Awesome

[@countryboycharlie9793]

That rain sounds great 👍

[@rosejafari8917]

I saw a youtuber that uses coffee grounds in his pots to run ants out. I sprinkled borax over a wicking bucket that had ants and didn't seem to be in it yesterday.

[@beverlymichael5830]

When I mow my yard which is huge. I take up the cut grass after it dries. I will even spread on tarps to make sure completely dry. I store in my barn and have grass for My chickens all winter. My yard is never sprayed. Organic grasses to feed chickens

[@McSnicker55]

Had you considered rain catchment on the high tunnel?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes we have a system design we will be looking at implementing .

[@countryboycharlie9793]

Is that survivor rocket stove?? I order the survivor I hop it the one like yours 👍🙏❤️

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes it is.

[@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia]

Hey Brother Danny, if you can find some eucalyptus oil and mix it with warm water in a 2-gallon sprayer and spray a quick ring around the plants those fire ants will leave town. If you can find the nests, spray the opening down good and they will leave altogether.

[@larrymoore6640]

Every video you come up with something that it seems I would love to try. Enjoy that good meal...

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

I'm trying sweet potatoes this year.3 varieties this year. Snowed about 2 inches last night. Will put down black plastic after composting and tilling to warm the soil. Any advice for cooler, short season sweet potato growing would be appreciated. Thanks

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

The Beauregard is good for cool climates.

[@deedeemcmillian9320]

Where can I get a rocket stove from

[@auyannaplants]

Planting my sweet potato slips real soon. Definitely on my to-do list but I love your planting method with the stick and fork. Thanks for sharing

[@norton750cc]

You guys are harvesting! We are still germinating seeds indoors, crazy. Carrots are "al dente" to the tooth. We still have curly kale and some leeks in the ground, Winter planted garlic is growing fast.

[@marykilgore2978]

Do you have a link for the stove and pot?? I could not find them on amazon. Thanks and God bless

Not at this point.

Hello wanda do yall collect rain water

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes got a video coming up soon.

[@keithwinslett9016]

Dose the stick not cause j root ? Great video.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

No put it right at the end and push. Plus j root doesn't matter on sweet potatoes.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

Beautiful homestead thank you Wanda and Danny. God Bless you. ❤ Nice berries!!!

[@АлексВладимирович-к7л]

Great video! I especially liked the Silver Rocket Oven with the Dragon Pot) And what kind of plant is sweet potato? Is there another name? And what are the fruits? Thanks!!! ) Friends !? )

[@nicolenoel818]

Is it the same process for yams?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yams mainly grow in Africa. Sweet potatoes and yams are completely different.

[@roccoconte2960]

Your berries ripen early , its only April 2ND , ripe tomatoes also ,thats great.

[@jeanniewright2554]

I’ve never seen a planting stick! Not high tech, but sure gets the job done! The stove looks great, too!!

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

I've never called it a planting stick but I always used a stick from tree pruning to plant. Works great.

[@lisaelliott1149]

So soothing to watch you plant Danny. I've got ages until I can plant so I'm enjoying seeing you. The meal looks delicious and I like the stove design. Be well and thanks for all you share.

[@coopgb]

Where do you get white sweet potatoes? I’ve only ever seen them a couple times ever up here by texarkana.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We ordered our original starts from a seed company.

[@1Melody1963]

Hello from North Carolina. Great information-thank you for a wonderful video. With your sweet potatoes, the green leaves are edible for people too. I put them in stir fry, soup, or if there is enough, I cook with or like any other cooked green. Melody B in NC

Its still a little to cold to plant anything in my garden yet. It will be warm for a few days, Its going to get back cold and rain next week. I have many of my seeds ready. I am going to plant a few potato's this year. I will plant the potato's in the tires i grew some of the tomato's and peppers last year.

If the chickens are eating their eggs they probably need more calcium. You could save your egg shells and crush them up and give to your chickens to eat..Hopefully, they won't eat the eggs anymore!

[@gerrymarmee3054]

When I was young my mother would sure cuss when the birds would eat the mulberries and then poo on the clothes on the clothes line and bomb the car.

[@keithVader1385]

Do you have squirrels or wild hogs? How do you keep em off your gardens?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Danny's killed out all the wild hogs. He got rid of 25 squirrels this past week.

[@anetteolofsson4315]

If they eat there own egg, they need animal protein. Have you tryed this? The cant go on just vegetable protein. But your chicken is out, and eat bugs outside, so i realy dont get it. But when my chicken eat there own egg i hardboil a cuope of egg, peal them and mash them. Then i give them to the chicken. They dont tuch there own eggs after that

[@norton750cc]

Fake eggs also help.

[@classicrocklover5615]
