SUCCESS and FAILURES when Growing SWEET POTATOES

Sweet Potatoes are a MAIN superfood on our homestead. We depend on a bumper crop of several hundred pounds a year. Danny shows you some of the successful harvests and some of the issues that lead to failures to harvest a bumper crop of sweet potatoes some years. For more on growing sweet potatoes check out ALL the videos in this playlist that shows videos from growing slips in dirt to planting sliips to maintanance to harvest and canning. • Sweet Potatoes - Plan...

[@millermdiehl]

I was just about to ask about the bone sauce. Thanks for posting this

[@sharonpashley8469]

Just leaving a comment thank you

[@laurieasmus9998]

So what is bone sauce? I'm guessing a liquid that you dilute down and spray around the crops you want to protect? I checked it out on the website- it is super expensive, so guessing you don't need too much!

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

I saw the price and went with netting instead. Reusable. And cayenne powder bulk is still cheap. Something is working.

[@bbundy4183]

What an awesome video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy you and Mrs. Wanda working on the farm together and harvesting you own food. May God continue to bless the two of you with good health, love and happiness. I truly enjoy your channel. Be well and stay safe.😘

[@Butler-Homestead]

Well good morning! This is a pleasant surprise ☺️

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Appreciate your honesty in gardening! You learn to appreciate the harvest you get big or small. Not every year can be phenomenal! Blessing either way!

[@lisamcclintock8090]

Good morning Danny! You have no idea how happy I was to see you and Wanda live this weekend and then seeing you this morning. After that video you made last week I was so afraid y’all were giving up KZbin and I literally cried!! I only found y’all about a year ago and have gained so much knowledge. I hope you are around for a long long time. God bless you both. Love y’all!!

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Planted my first sweet potatoes this year. Didn't know to separate my slips so i actually planted 6 slips per hole. Guess we see how that works out. The vines are looking good and growing.

[@jmessick8163]

We have been bamboozled so many times into thinking we need better, faster, and bigger things when what we already had is the best. Love the old tractors. Thanks for sharing the tips. 😊 I will be trying some this morning in the garden. Love and blessings to y’all!

[@bobbiejofouts1708]

Regarding tractors, so much can be said for the simplicity versus the new, sensitive complicated stuff.

[@Myfavorites877]

Mom always had us 5 girls to “turn her vines” as she did the hoeing. We tried to hoe too, but we would sometimes chop the wrong thing down. This sure brings back memories.

[@nancytharp8213]

Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝

[@deescrafts8853]

Found a sweet potato I’d forgotten about & it looked pitiful. Put it in a glass jar with few toothpicks to hold it up. That old tater has gone crazy with the slips so guess I’m planting sweet potatoes in some containers. Praying for rain for y’all & myself as well. 🙏💕🙂

[@starladoakwagonhollowhomes6555]

Good morning Mr. Danny and miss Wanda.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning

[@farmstrong5434]

We are homesteading in Africa and this video was so informative! Helped me see what were some of the things I did wrong. Quality! Love from a Morocco 🇲🇦

[@annettecarroll116]

First year i have ever attempted sweet potatoes. So far, so good. I'm way up north in Canada. Its hot and dry up here, I was worried. But I planted one sweet potato for slips and have 20 plants in the ground from it so far. I'm going to keep planting them and cover over for winter like I do my garlic and see what happens. Hoping I get some this year though, for canning and fresh eating. Thank you for all your advice and encouragement, hints and info on what to expect and how to stay positive, no matter the outcome.

[@tinadedeaux788]

This is our first year planting sweet potatoes,,so this video is very helpful ,thank you

[@catherinefrye7269]

We learn from our mistakes in gardening! Sometimes we get a huge harvest, sometimes we get a small harvest but we are Grateful for whatever The Lord Bless us with! Your garden is Beautiful!!!❤🤗❤

[@randyeddins9065]

Love Sweet Potatoes! Love your little Cub, I grew up next door to a man that had a little cub.i go up there with daddy to work on it I was 7 at the time finely He started asking me work on it because daddy was at his job work the Man said you always watch your Dad I think you can do it so at about 8yr old I started work on his cub that thing was so worn out it was something every day.

[@michaelhoggard591]

Danny, this is good stuff! I wanted to thank you for your excellent examples of what to do with our process of learning how to garden. We, my wife an I have moved forward quite a bit with our little 100x200ft little homestead garden. We have the thornless blackberries, grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon, blueberries, cherries, plums, elderberries, we have 23 tomato plants, peppers (various types), strawberries, peas, brockolea, beets, cucumbers, onions, and lots of various herbs. Thank you for your examples!

[@reginastratton5031]

So true Bro. Danny. Thank God if you only have a heel of bread. I'm sad to say, people are not heeding the messages that are coming forth and it's going to be so hard for them and their families.

[@taylorshomestead3934]

Love how you added the old videos about sweet potatoes!

[@judyabernathy80]

In no way is your harvest a failure! You two work very hard, and this is just not as good as prior years. That’s all. It’s still a good harvest. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@mickyskickreviews4826]

Bruh I learned so much in this video thank you. I actually prefer to learn from actual experienced farmers

[@idafisher8327]

Goodmorning Danny and Wanda. Have a safe happy day.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Watching you for the last 5 yrs has made me successful growing sweet potatoes and I am still learning more from you today. Thank You very much for sharing your knowledge so freely.

[@lunabeta3516]

Well I had no clue about growing the vines. I had 2 truly non-edible sweet potatoes. I put dirt in a feed bag and planted em. I was shocked....they're growing💞 1st time growing em

[@lunabeta3516]

I think I'll grab couple vines and plant em in the garden. Btw, our ground is same. But we're still harvesting rocks.

[@flora7682]

Loved this video. Reminds me of your earlier ones. I remember when I first found your channel, I played so many from your playlists while I was canning, sewing , whatever .

[@sonshine2030]

I Love seeing progress. Step by Step, Day by Day. Thank you Deep South Homestead.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

Any video with the cub makes me smile :)

[@crobles123able]

I just recently ordered and received your sweet potato manual. Looking forward to growing multiple crops myself. Thank you!

[@Coastal.Redwood.Homestead]

I was so happy to receive your garden manual on how to grow sweet potatoes and I was so impressed with everything in it and I can’t wait to get my Cherokee tan pumpkin seeds tomorrow and I keep checking in to see what else you guys sell

[@apiecemaker1163]

Can’t sleep tonight. Not feeling well. It was nice to get a notice about your video. Distracted my mind for a bit. I got my first tomatoes today from the garden. My husband and I had a tomato sandwich for supper. We are so dry also. No rain for the next week and highs close to 100. Watering with the hose every day but it’s nothing like rain. My green beans have pretty much quit making. This is normally our peak garden time here in AL. The weeds are still growing like crazy though. Just doing the best we can til the good Lord sees fit to send nourishing rain. God bless.

[@rogerdivdis7277]

Not much fun when you don’t feel well, I know the feeling. God blessed you with a beautiful tomato, sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most in life . May God bless you and yours in these unprecedented times.

[@apiecemaker1163]

@@rogerdivdis7277 thank you for your kind words. The first tomato is definitely cause for celebration. Lol God bless you also. Happy gardening.

[@tdowswe5912]

Very informative…love the Farmall

[@christinahawkins3469]

Such a pleasant surprise to see a video this morning!

[@littlekentucky2294]

Thank you Deep South Homestead for all you do, I learn soooo much from you , I really want to get the book from Etsy, I have two rolls of red sweet potatoes, looking good Despite the humid hot weather we are having here.

[@taradoster3087]

Morning! Everything looks great y'all. Praying for rain.

[@homesteadgmad8223]

LOTS of useful gardening tips!! Thank you SO MUCH, sir! 😊

[@jix357]

I’m am grateful for the knowledge you and Wanda share. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing. I’m new to gardening & I’ve learned so much from you.

[@09echols]

Thank you Mr. Danny and Mrs. Wanda for showing us the difference between a wet season and a dry season.

[@TheBamaDoc]

I’m in lucedale not far from you guys been real dry here too of course. My sweet potatoes are about as far along as yours are. I planted mine middle of may. I like your chicken pen idea with chain link

[@katielin2379]

Danny and Wanda, you two amaze me. You just roll so well with the changes. You handle adversity with calm.

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Blessed day from wisc. Crops are looking good for you ✝ .. Heat wave up here (98* expected here for a few days). 1st crop hay coming out early, but appreciated.

[@missyk1477]

LOVE that old tractor! Nothing beats them!

[@kelliecarson5954]

I'm so glad you did this video. I have already learned so much from you. I have Cherokee tan growing from your seeds!!! I also grew slips and planted them all from your videos. I have bad knees so the tips are amazing. I didn't know how to grow sweet potatoes until I followed you guys. Also, the slips I grew are doing better than the slips I bought. I planted the purchased ones first. I really appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge. ❤️💕❤️

[@aprilarmijo6967]

Absolutely Beautiful ❤️

God bless you both & I love my new @Crazy Dayze tumbler its GREAT & actually had Ice in my tumbler the next morning ( as I keep water next to me sleeping ) Have a beautiful week . Mrs Josette- Texas

[@mauricewilkins7263]

Great video, from detail to when, where, how issues detail. Some videos never do as you explained and thanks which I could watch a good explanation as explaining on a lot of issues as your gardening.

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thank you Danny and Wanda. Central Kentucky Last frost date April 15 to June 1st, 45 days and it rained 25 of those days. We are still trying to get the garden layed by. And now, 95+ temps and one half inch of rain since then. God Bless and stay safe.

[@Hatfield_Country]

Y'all should end up with a good sweet potato harvest. I'm growing some for the first this year and can't wait to see how they do. Y'all got everything looking really nice!

Phenomenal video. I can't get enough of your teachings. Thank you and Wanda for your service to mankind.

[@denisedoodles]

It's nice to see a couple work so well together. We need more good role models, especially on KZbin! I have never seen corn that tall before. I sure hope you get some rain. In Maryland we had endless rain; now it is hot, dry, and the plants are burning up. It is just like you said it would be! 🌻

[@teshuvahtales861]

Shalom Danny and Wanda!! Love your videos...I've learned so much watching y'all❤️ I had to rewind to hear what you called those chamber bitters... They are everywhere here too in north Louisiana. I have a few sweet potatoes sprouting on my counter. I think I'll pop 'em in a good pot and just see what they will do.. Thanks for all y'all do and share your time and knowledge so freely!

[@mountaincreekhomestead]

Danny your 🌽🌽 is looking Amazing!!! I appreciate the sweet potato information, mine are in 100 gallon fabric beds

[@jtharp9265]

Thank you Mr. Danny & Mrs Wanda I listened to this 3 times while out in the garden & learned alot , even with owning your sweet potato manual i bought off etsy , As I didnt know about the Regular potatoes I picked geez 6 -8 weeks ago out of the ground ( not my grow bag & tote , pots of seed potatoes ) i found a few with splits , last year was 1st time I grew potatoes but in grow bags & pots didnt have that issue . So this year bought Kennabac whites & Norlan reds and with our crazy weather here in Texas about a month b4 it was time to harvest my 42 pounds of potatoes some had splits now i know its from the rain . I did succession plant fingerlings & a few small red potatoes like i did last August and should have more in about beginning of September & will again ... Every day I get up early with my husband and get out on our almost 1/4 acre in back yard all because of yall & some other great creators & plant , harvest , feed , weed , Thank you for all you have taught me NEW that my Dad didnt even know about ... God bless you Mrs Josette -Texas Plus its very very Therapeutic for me !!!

[@queenlouise9688]

Thank you so much for your information. I will make application to it all. Learning as I go. Grateful for all the skills that my uncle and grandmother taught me as well. I highly enjoyed your videos.

[@Pam730]

So much wisdom in this video. Thank you and may God richly bless you for sharing it!

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

Discovered deer like sweet potatoes but they're coming back after being covered. Nice I can make more and hopefully time for them to grow. Thinking the mini greenhouse has room to extend my season. I like learning new things.

[@franpaterno486]

A mother goof learning video ❤❤❤. 👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@JeanneKinland]

I love how you take such good care of that little Cub Hall Tractor. My Uncle used to be VP of marketing for Harvest International. You know some guy from France purchased the company years ago and had to fly overseas to give this guy a financial report on the company. He hated to fly and said that was the worse part of his job.

[@gregblanton9386]

I pressed watch and thought this was a repeat video seeing you with a clean cut beard, you look much younger Mr Danny, hope you're feeling well. Looks like y'all have been getting decent rains with the wet dirt you are plowing, we are parched here in Eastern North Carolina, we need rain! Your sweet potatoes are growing well, hope they and your entire garden yields very well for you!

[@elaineewart6640]

Thank you for this. I planted sweet potato slips and I couldn't find anyone who showed after you plant.

[@janetlavoie2441]

Those are some pretty rows of sweet potatoes! PRAYERS for rain for you all.

[@wandaweber6613]

Really gardening is work. Things didn't work out and I had to get my sweet taters out late. I am hoping for a late fall and maybe I can get some out of my efforts. Thanks for all the encouragement to keep trying. Blessings.

[@deborahthompson5041]

What a wonderful attitude about your harvest. GOD bless you with something to eat. Great information. 👍

[@nancycook6644]

Thanks Danny, i have planted sweet potatoes twice, neither one worked. I have planted cucumbers three times so we shall see. This year is very different than last year. About half of my corn came up, what is up is doing good. I have carrots growing this year!!!!! Thank you for all your advise.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good Monday Mornin' Dep South Homestead. Got my taters in the bucket. Times are tough. We all need to do what we can to survive - strong and self sufficient. Growing our own food for the most part - occasionally shopping at the Dollar Tree or thrift stores (walking there instead of driving whenever possible). I try to support my local merchants, when I do have to spend money on something - avoiding those "delivered to your doorstep" companies like Amazon. Overall, I'm doing my part to avoid increasing the carbon footprint.

[@Kittykatkw2000]

We're in a drought too. Ugh... Hope y'all have some nice soaking rain.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Not yet

[@wleight1]

God’s blessings to you and yours, sir. Something I’ve learned from you and others is that regardless if growing something is a success or failure, it’s knowledge gained, which is a gift from above.

[@billhunt892]

Morning Y’all , Praying for ya !

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Morning

[@nolagirlhomestead]

Thank y'all for this video. You're answering all of my questions, especially from the older Vlogs. I got sweet potatoes seemingly after only 60 days, granted Beauregard slips from Bonnie. Yes, I panicked and overpaid for 8 slips ($6.99). Harvested roughly a lb from this one plant. What is that, $.75 a lb.? Has to be extreme heat and lack of rain.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

We're dry here in the northern Piedmont of North Carolina and I'm watering my garden now. Watching you use the Cub brings back fond memories of using Grandpa's Cub years ago. It was the first tractor I ever drove and used.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

I really like that tractor and you should be proud you fixed it up. I wish I could get a hold of some of them corn to plant, Amazing! Hot here as well Danny, and no rain for over 30 days. I'm doing everything I can using horticultural molasses, liquid seaweed, fish emulsion and I order more 40% shade cover. Your sweet taters are looking great, ours are doing good in our 30 gal pots. Like the old video. God Bless yawl. Mike & Rochelle

[@oldnanz]

Great advise. I’ve replanted my sweet potatoes twice and failed both times. Then I noticed I had forgotten I put in a few slips I had extra and they had survived. I may not have what I wanted but I should have something. Thanks for always giving a blessing for what we did get.

[@Joan-ej7wv]

As you said we must thank God for his blessing. and thanks for sharing and encouraging us.

[@druemiller3111]

We finally got two small showers Thursday and Sunday. Despite the drought I think I have enough purple hull peas for a canner of pints. Hopefully these showers will be enough to give me enough for another.

[@sylviayvette]

Sweet Potatoes Are Plenty Omg Very Nice

[@flintmcrock636]

I sure love that Farmall Cub love the way it looks and sounds. It is what I visualize when I think of the American Farmer. ❤ GOD BLESS YALL… KEEP ON KEEPING ON ✌🏼

[@kristikey8320]

Very informative. I wish that you could have displayed the dates on your clips. I remember seeing them but I don't know which year.

[@weathermanplus]

Good morning brother!

[@helenegann6647]

We are in sc and have the same dry problem

[@johnbettiebishop6673]

Thanks Danny. I planted sweet potatoes first time this year and not wanting to waste my slips I planted in three different places. Not knowing this might help me haha 😂 but you have helped me again with this video. The heat is really hurting my tomatoes though but whatever harvest God gives me I will put them up. God bless you and Wanda and stay safe in this heat
