Sweet Potato Container SUPER HARVEST

So many sweet potatoes from 2 containers. A summer of record heat waves and extreme drought. Still these 2 containers did the job.

[@bigheadface]

Dude. Your joy and excitement with each large potato was just awesome to see

[@dearpastorr]

Your excitement is everything Sir. God bless your garden xx

[@danakarloz5845]

Super sweet! 🥰

Agreed! I'm so happy for him...lol. love it!

I grow mine in raised beds with carefully developed organic soil (compost, mulch, native clay, etc.) which is never tilled, but is always nice and fluffy. I get a similar harvest from each plant, but one is always twice as big as your biggest one. They are all creamy, not fibrous. I save space by tying up the vines on a cylinder of 5' high heavy wire fencing to go up and then down again. From one of the large sweet potatoes I get about 10 sprouts. I root them and plant them around the fencing (5 around each of two cylinders). I get about 6 potatoes from each plant for a total of 60 potatoes in autumn from just that one potato and two 3' diameter cylinders. They store well on the floor in an open crate over the winter; they last until May.

[@djrramsey]

I really have to try training the vines up something. That area always gets so out of control that other plants get swallowed up and weeds get a super start.

[@virginiamoss7045]

@@djrramsey They don't train well; You have to tie them up with twisty ties (used) or something until they reach the top where they just drape back down. I save my twisty ties from the grocery store and other sources. Getting the vines off the trellis requires either removing all the ties or cutting the vines out. I cut the vines into small pieces for my compost pile so I do the latter. I do let some vines run into the rest of the garden if there is room under taller stuff.

[@menotworking]

Probably the most enthusiastic sweet potato harvest on the internet. I was right there with you, buddy!

[@SeanLawn71]

That was too fun to watch you harvest. Can’t wait to grow these babies this season!

[@mandysantos3677]

Wow monster sweet potatoes in a container amazing!!?? Thanks for the very inspiring video.🥔🥔🥔🥔🇵🇭🇵🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ccbb3174]

You showed such joy in harvesting your sweet potatoes, it made me smile :) Now, I can't wait to try my hand at planting sweet potatoes this coming season, thanks to you! Keep it up!

It is a lot harder than he makes it look. It is a lesson in patience.

So pleased for you. Great harvest. Enjoyed watching this video. Thank you.

What a harvest of large, healthy-looking sweet potatoes. I love these tubers!

Loved watching you harvest, Great haul!

[@bluewolf4915]

going to be my first garden in 10 years and i'm trying sweet potatoes for the first time ever.. your info is invaluable to me. thanks.

your enthusiasm is contagious..love it!!!

[@candacemoxey2921]

Love this video. Your expression is priceless. Happy for you...feeling inspired.

[@djrramsey]

Thank you thank you. It is almost that time again. My sweet potatoes have sprouted inside and need to get the slips into their own pots very soon. Next to harvest, planting is my favorite time. Love the homegrown food.

[@eldorawillie6108]

Very nice sweet potatoe harvest the potatoes are just beautiful from the containers wonderful harvest great success!!🙏🙏👍👍

Awesome Harvest. Soil looked amazing. Lots of good compost and well aged manure.

[@jimsingleton3790]

Wow! I think I'll try to grow some sweet potatoes next year! You did an awesome job!

[@GraftingTactick]

Great video, very informative, thanks for sharing 👍

[@1caramarie]

Very impressive. I bet the dark color of the containers helped warm them up. Wish I knew the growing zone there. I've been watching sweet potato videos and this is the best. Glad you were saving the soil, must of the others just dump it where they can't save it for recycling. Now to look at how they were planted. I live in zone 4a, so it is not hot for long, but I keep experimenting.

[@djrramsey]

I am in zone 7, NE of Atlanta, GA. With your zone 4 you will need to get plants started and growing inside to try to get a longer growing period.

[@wirthyourwhilehomesteadwir1551]

You’re excitement is exciting!! :) Great harvest!!!

[@jeanettehaygood4154]

I’m trying sweet potatoes in buckets this year! Your video gives me hope for success!

[@djrramsey]

Try some in the ground also so you can compare. If a dry season the ground will do better, if wet then the containers will drain out better. I try to do both and always one way or the other is better that year.

[@margaretmadire8375]

Wow that's amazing. Going to try to grow mine soon. Wonderful

[@user-si7sg6hn7c]

So good to see you happy with ur harvest. I mean who won't be, a good harvest after some good hardwork.

[@rosebroadway2093]

What an interesting video. I tried Sweet Potatoes for the first time this year in a very large flower pot. It grew to the size of a bush and was a gorgeous attraction for quests who did not know what it was. Not quite time to harvest here in Missouri, but I hope I get surprises as pretty as yours!!!

[@GrowAndEatThis]

I have my first 3 containers and a 4 ft x 4ft garden space that is at 127 days! I am hoping to harvest them tomorrow. I wanted to do them today but just ran out of energy before I got to them. I will have a video of checking these out when I get to them. My last planted sweet potatoes did not go in until June 6 so they have about 3 more weeks to develop.

[@jasminesheeba7435]

That is an awesome harvest. Hope mine are half as good.

[@EdgardoGases1]

Congrats sir ...I m happy and amaze while you digging the compost taking the sweet potato.its really sweet.isn't it?

[@GrowAndEatThis]

So much better than store bought sweet potatoes. The skinny ones have the smoothest texture. So creamy. But they are all fabulous.

[@jan9050]

I loved watching your excitement harvesting your bounteous sweet potato crop, could you share what variety you grew?

[@djrramsey]

The sweet potatoes varieties I have been growing are store bought sweet potatoes. Whatever the regular orange ones are and the white flesh ones were just labeled as Japanese sweet potatoes. The orange ones are from years ago and the Japanese white flesh ones this year will be from slips I will start from my own potatoes.

[@pershundasmith4102]

I envision a sweet potato pie with vanilla ice cream, yum.

[@ponderosapondhomestead4344]

Nice potatoes. This is my first year to grow sweet potatoes. Hope to get a good harvest.

[@asddsa9995]

Wow great work,watching from Kenya

[@TM-we6eg]

that is impressive!!! What do you use in your soil mix for them?

[@marinarobinson5718]

WOW! What an awesome harvest.

[@sandramarlow3677]

That was a beautiful harvest of sweet potatoes. How many slips did you use for that pot.

[@djrramsey]

The round pots and the rectangular containers get 2-3 slips each. The 4 ft in the ground squares will get one each towards the corners and then one or two in the middle.

[@sandramarlow3677]

Thank you

Fantastic tip. Do you have to cut them at a particular stage? Or can you just harvest them when the s.potatoes are done? VERY interested. Thank you

[@deborahthompson5041]

Fantastic harvest. So huge. I have not harvested yet. I am going to wait until just before the frost in S.C.. Its been 105 days.

[@GrowAndEatThis]

I am going to try to wait until it get close to my frost date also. Early to mid October. I do not need the space for other crops so they can stay. Good luck to us both!

[@denisebrady6858]

Amazing harvest - I am about to pull my sweet potato bed tomorrow here in Australia but I know I won't have a harvest like that - some years I do well but others not so good. I am a new viewer so looking forward to learning. Cheers Denise - Australia

(b) blanch then season lightly with amino liquids (or soy sauce), olive oil &/or sesame oil, nutritional yeast, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds (c) saute a little sliced garlic & quick stirfry, season with salt & pepper.

Sweet potatoes are started from slips. You can grow the slips yourself or buy them from a garden center

[@ThePerimeters]

Or just put one in very good compost soil and it'll root.

In the Philippines we grow it from a matured vines.🇵🇭🇵🇭🥔🥔🥔

The sweet potato leaves are excellent delicious vegetable, full of vitamins. Don't thrown them away. Just stir fry with garlic or boil for 5 minutes add a bit of olive oil. Enjoy !!
