    Those air potatoes you call are what we plant instead of the tubers. My grandma plants them in a sack mid-year and they are usually ready to be harvested for Christmas here in the PH. I just grabbed a few last time I visited them and will try to plant some for myself. I'm exited!

    Awesome harvest!!! I love ube!! Thank you for this vid.
    Non related ..i was wondering if you can help me out. So I have raised beds and im growing for food - right now I have collard greens, peppers eggplant and just planted beans, tomatoes, strawberries… however recently i see a bunch of poop on the bed… might be opossum or racoon. I remove them when I see them but im wondering if and how long do I have to wait to harvest my crops? The other day I forgot to remove them and then all day it rained hard so most of the poop is just mixed in the soil…. Im unsure what is safe? Sorry for the long comment!

    We have a small lot as well and every inch is accounted for by plants/yard. Our garden we're trying a new raised bed for our sweet potatoes this year, something I saw a guy in Vietnam do. Last years in the ground didn't do well at all. Ube experience wasn't good either. Those monster ones you pulled out, wow. Meals for weeks. ha.

    😆😅🤣wonderful. here in the Philippines, they can grow as much as 5x of the biggest you got. suggest you raise your soil 2 feet up - put up a board or something and fill it in with loam soil amended with the minerals you say you add which is wonderful practice. that will allow the roots to easily penetrate and form and when ready to harvest, you just remove the board you put up and that will expose the harvest without your having to dig. here the practice is to stack 3 used tires and plant a single plant which will grow huge. air potatoes here grow to as big as a fist but the winter will not allow that there...blessings

    • @wendiland
      @wendiland  2 місяці тому

      Great suggestions! If I had room for tires that is great idea. The beauty of living in the tropics where these plants excel. I will have to try that in the tropics. :) How many months does it take for tubers to get 5x the size? Is there a time of year you plant them in the Philippines?

    • @paulbraga4460
      @paulbraga4460 2 місяці тому

      @@wendiland well, the growing season here in the Philippines is, well, the whole year. you can plant during the rains which start end of May but with the climate changing, maybe June, even July. then let it grow until the rains stop around September but there would be intermittent until December, even January. to simplify this, let the plant die back its foliage in the summer heat which start March, April being the hottest month usually but early May can also be really hot. that is when you harvest. if you don't, it will grow back...blessings

    Wendi, is there a reason you grow these ube UP a trellis instead of letting them sprawl? It’s a sweet potato! Everywhere the stem touches the ground, there’s a high probability you’d get more full size sweet potatoes!
    The first year I grew sweets, i grew 5 slips in a 4’x8’ bed. They vined out everywhere and went into the grass.
    I got 152 POUNDS of sweet potatoes from those five slips.

      @wendiland  2 місяці тому +2

      There's lack of sun and space here. Only place they can sprawl is the walkway and there's no sun. These are not sweet potatoes. It's so confusing when the market keeps calling SP "ube". Here's a video that explains it: ua-cam.com/video/kgVv-Gzo5jc/v-deo.html 152 LBS!! That's amazing!!!

    Ube is considered to be a survival crop here in the US and I'd have to agree after eating it several times but not so in the Philippines or to Filipinos. My sister-in-law uses it in her baking and other Filipino friends make other sweet desserts with it. They're both very happy when I give them large head-sized roots that I grew in grow bags. I've left a couple in the bags over two years (I'm in south Florida). I had to stop growing them because they are so aggressive growers, dare I say, invasive and they grow all over my other vegetables, weighing them down and killing them. Aside from the beautiful purple color it provides, I'm not a big fan.

    • @wendiland

I do know the vines would quickly outgrow the bed and sprawl all over the place until it reaches something it can wrap around and climb, like a fence, trellis, or tree.
