Sweet Potato Harvest 2021 // A lot Better than Last Year

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Had to laugh all the way through this one. Love it when you rag each other. We do that here as well. Nice harvest your going to enjoy them this winter.

[@conradhomestead4518]

The Beaugards have worked nicely here. We usually let the vines grow until they die to maximize potential growth. Fun video. Thanks for sharing

My grandfather was from Belgium and I remember him planting potatoes. He did not dig them up until the leaves started drying up and turning brown. All his potatoes were much bigger then see on here

[@cyndidame1721]

I got my book from Deep South's Etsy store about 2 weeks ago so I can learn how to do sweet potatoes. We have old vehicles too. His 1999 Ford 250 is still on the road...we have repairs, but no payments. The pigs are just too cute.🐷 lol...you both won...great harvest.

[@LeaC816]

That was a great harvest, y’all! I would say both planting methods were a great success! I was as excited by how fantastic that soil looks in that one bed as I was seeing how many sweet potatoes you were getting! I wonder if for some reason the worms were attracted by the rats being in there? I’m just fascinated it was the same bed they had been in. I have seen other folks cut the vines and plant them elsewhere before too. David The Good, another KZbinr, uses them to fill in spaces all over his garden. He does a lot of chop and drop compost as well. I hope y’all can get the cars up and going soon. My mom always says the only thing worse than car trouble is sick kids and she is right! Thanks for the great video, nice to see all y’all in one again!
