Digging White Sweet potatoes and watching bees

[@artport7]

Such a sweet mom and daughter... I loved your sweet potato harvest video... Thank you for sharing.

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, we had a good time digging those sweet potatoes.😊 I appreciate your kind comment. Thanks so much for watching 🥰

It's really cool to see people growing their own food. It would be great if more people acquired this habit. In addition to improving our health by consuming healthier foods, we contribute to preserving our planet by reducing the use of pesticides. Congratulations on sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

[@Grammysgarden]

I enjoy working in the soil and watching things grow. It’s a joy and the big pay off all the food I grow is organic, I know the food has had no pesticides and no modification. I also feed the pollinators by planting flowers in with vegetables. I appreciate your kind comments .

My grandmother grew up in the countryside of the state of Virgi,. She and my great-grandmother used to make pig feet in the oven. It's awesome to see how others on the other side of the globe in a different culture make them. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

[@Grammysgarden]

Good morning from Missouri. I enjoyed reading about your grandmothers. My grandmothers were very important in my life. One of my grandmothers also made pickled pigs feet. I must have tried it because I remember the sour tangy taste. I like hearing about others culture and ways of growing their food.

Happy Sunday, Grammie! 🥰🌱❤️ You and your daughter are such a delight. How sweet you were from the beginning in not wanting to harm the bees, to the commentary between you two as you’re harvesting. 💕 I love you ladies already, and look forward to seeing more videos! 🥰❤️

[@Grammysgarden]

Happy Sunday to you! My daughter is a “ cheerleader” for my gardening. She’s a beekeeper on her farm and I try to look after bees by growing flowers among my vegetables. Your comments were inspiring to me and thank you for that. I will be having more videos up, and you let me know what you think. Welcome and I hope you’re back soon.🥰❤️

[@plantaseednotlitter2260]

Well done loyal and faithful servant that 2023 sweet potatoes 🍠 harvested them are gigantic size.

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you so much. You are very kind. Have a wonderful day❤️

[@sharonhoover600]

OMG!!! That is quite the haul!! Good for you. :)

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, I knew they were doing good but I never expected this many from 3 slips. Thanks again 🥰❤️

[@mousemeat1352]

What a sweet lady! Good harvest!

[@Grammysgarden]

I appreciate that very much. We will be eating some of those sweet potatoes today. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my video.

[@jasonhiggins7569]

Lovey roses,so beautiful',,bless you..

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, I’m glad you thought the flowers were beautiful. Have a blessed day

[@Grammysgarden]

I think that’s quite a compliment. Thank you. 😊

[@mauimago5023]

Hi Grammy, that harvest is super, i am so happy for you. Your daughter sounds caring and lovely 🥰👍

[@Grammysgarden]

Hi Maui, I thought of you today. My friend here in Missouri is from Jamaica, she told me they grow White sweet potatoes back home in Jamaica. I was very surprised at the size of these but they were pushing up out of the soil. Thank you so much, my daughter is sweet( she loves honey bees) actually any pollinator. Have a wonderful day❤️🥰

[@mauimago5023]

I can hardly get sweet potatoes that is white now, i only see mostly yellow. I wish we had much more varieties.

[@Grammysgarden]

@@mauimago5023 I got the one that I started slips from in a grocery store. ❤️

[@sharon7281]

Great video ladies! Wonderful harvest😍Beautiful zinnias & you are strong, Emily! Gardening is good therapy, isn't it😅 what delicious meals & desserts you'll be having this winter!! I guessed 25, but looks like it was even more 🥰

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you so much, it is helpful having someone to do the video and get good angles which I find impossible on my own. I love these Zinnias too. I think gardening helps us physically, mentally, and spiritually. I think I am going to make sweet potato fries for my dinner. I didn’t weigh them , I have them in my warm humid garage which helps the skins get firmer and the sugars get sweeter. Thanks for watching ❤️🥰

[@beguileme8201]

A great harvest! Great camera work as well. 😉❤❤

[@Grammysgarden]

It sure was, thank you. I think the cinematographer was excellent! I’ll tell her.😊🥰❤️❤️

[@jasonhiggins7569]

Having fun,potatoes are huge ,so delicious..wonderful garden..."🇧🇿🇧🇿💯💯

[@Grammysgarden]

It was so much fun, like a treasure hunt.😊 it’s actually a small garden but produces great. 🥰

[@annetteharding6484]

Awesome harvest. Those are huge! Good job ma’am.

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, It was fun too😊 In a week or so I have a grow bag of them to pull. Thanks for commenting ❤️

[@lindabranch8294]

I just love this they are beautiful

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you so much, they taste good too. I’ll be canning a canner full this coming week. I’m so glad you loved it. 😊

[@mygrannysgarden]

Hello, new to your channel. That is a nice harvest of sweet potatoes. I don’t know why my sweet potato vines never bloom. But I still get sweet potatoes. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@Grammysgarden]

Welcome, I appreciate you saying hello. It was a much bigger harvest off of 3 slips than I would have guessed for sure. I know what you’re talking about, I have a big grow bag with vines everywhere and not a bloom but I see and can feel good sized sweet potatoes. I don’t know why that happens but it’s great that you get sweet potatoes anyway. I have two older videos from last year for 1. Canning sweet potatoes and making sweet potato pie. Thank you for subscribing, I appreciate it.🥰

[@danachavous8481]

Beautiful harvest!

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you so much! I’m going to be pulling a grow bag of Beauregards in the next week.😊

[@fayfaust5954]

What an awesome harvest!!

[@Grammysgarden]

Hi Fay, Thank you, I appreciate your watching and your kind comment. I honestly was shocked at the amount of sweet potatoes that we got from three or four slips. I started those slips from one organic sweet potato from a local grocery store. You have a wonderful evening.

[@sf55514]

I enjoyed your potato hunt.

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, I appreciate your comment, this week I will be “ hunting “ a grow bag of sweet potatoes and I’ll post the video. 🥰 🍠

[@sofiaceleste6299]

Hola , ellas se crian bien en tierra suelta , no es necesario sufrir tanto al cultivar, estan hermosas tus batatas , saludos. 🇵🇷

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you for your good comment. My garden is all in beds and that bed seems to have a lot of clay. I also grow them in very loose soil in grow bags. They are so much easier to dig. You have a wonderful day.😊

[@Shannie2003]

That was a nice big sweet potato harvest 🎉 What did you use for a fertilizer?

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, it was much bigger than I had thought it would be. I had compost at first then I fed it once with fish emulsion. I really didn’t do a lot. We have been in drought here for a year and I watered everyday since it was a raised bed. Thanks for your comment.

[@daisyslittlemiracle7171]

Good harvest. You know the leaves are edible too or grow new ones from the stems.

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you for your kind comment. I have never cooked the leaves but tasted them raw. I tried growing slips from the stems last year but by midwinter they started dying.

[@OnlineHowTo]

Wow! Amazing harvest 💖🌴🌈🎉

[@Grammysgarden]

Thanks so much, I was surprised. Nice to get surprised like that. Thank you for watching, I have a grow bag to harvest Beauregards in the next wk or two.😊

[@deborahthompson5041]

WOW WHAT AN AWESOME HARVEST. YOU have got the magic touch. ENJOY...

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, I was surprised! I never expected that many. Now in about a week I’ll pull the grow bag of another variety.😊

[@deborahthompson5041]

Sounds good to me I will be watching.@@Grammysgarden

[@Grammysgarden]

@@deborahthompson5041 Great! I will post on the community page when the video will be up.😊

[@patoliver5585]

you should have watered that earth the day/night before digging. that is some hard clay.

[@Grammysgarden]

It is/was hard. Most of my raised beds have a loamy soil but not this one and one other. It sure grew nice sweet potatoes, didn’t it? Have a good day😊

[@barringtonsmith9147]

All those from just three slips, thats amazing, your soil must have loads of phosphorus and potassium,

[@Grammysgarden]

Yes, I was surprised. I think I said I grew the slips from a grocery store organic sweet potato. The soil in a few of my beds has biochar. It’s been good soil.

[@keilarsbraegrower1581]

I wish I had your climate. Super video. I suppose you could try treating your soil with some manure or compost. Your sweet potatoes would grow just the same but would be much easier to remove from the soil and less likely to be damaged.

[@Grammysgarden]

@@keilarsbraegrower1581 Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Our climate is good for growing most Summer crops, it does get hot quickly here causing early Spring crops to bolt. I have sweet potatoes in a grow bag with very loamy soil. We’ll see how that goes.😊

[@keilarsbraegrower1581]

I am giving sweet potatoes a try next year. I bought some from a local supermarket and one of the three tubers sent out new growth and I have 4 slips potted up in compost ready for planting next year after the risk of frost has passed.

[@Grammysgarden]

@@keilarsbraegrower1581 That’s great! I hope they do well for you.

[@thefourseasonsinsweden]

Wow,many sweet potatoes❤

[@Grammysgarden]

Yes, thank you. They are delicious too. Thanks for your comment.🥰

[@thefourseasonsinsweden]

You’re welcome ❤

Thank you for your comment. They grow well in Missouri’s hot Summers.😊

[@user-iw7kc3wu9g]

Super harvest

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you, I am happy with it. Have a good day.

[@TJtheHAWK]

Wow these are really big sweet potatoes. Impressive haul. How come you dont wait until frost, wont they get even bigger? Mine are still in the ground up in New Hampshire.

[@Grammysgarden]

They certainly are big sweet potatoes. I don’t really have a reason about waiting til frost except we are in a very serious drought and I had to water daily sometimes twice to keep my garden going. Also our temperatures were 100 to 105 off and on this Summer. I felt it was time to dig them out. I see why yours are still in the ground. I hope you have a great harvest.

[@st2778]

What is your grow zone?

[@Grammysgarden]

I’m in Missouri 6A. We have had a very hot summer, much more like 6B.

[@containingmygarden]

What an awesome harvest!!

[@Grammysgarden]

Thank you , I thought it was going to be good as I could see one here and there pushing out of the soil.❤️

[@containingmygarden]

@@Grammysgarden How long did you have your potatoes in the bed.

[@Grammysgarden]

@@containingmygarden I planted the slips on May 6th. So they were in the ground 4 months. We have had a very hot Summer, I think that helped them along too. With your container gardening, do you plant sweet potatoes? In a few weeks I’ll be pulling the orange colored sweet potatoes from a grow bag. I grew them in a grow bag last year and they did great. Have a wonderful day.❤️

[@containingmygarden]

@Grammysgarden I have some in now. They have a few more months to go.

[@Grammysgarden]

@@containingmygarden that’s great. I hope you’ll post a video or photos when they’re done.❤️
