The two of you are so inspiring. Thank you for bringing pleasant content. We need that in today's world🙏
Our pleasure!
Very much agree
I like the purple Japanese sweet potatoes (purple all the way through). They have a cake-like texture. They make really great sweet potato casserole.
God almighty bless your husband. He is a reminder as to why we woman need our men.
What a massive haul! I can still remember the distinct tune that roasted sweet potato vendors play in Japan when they would pull their carts around the neighborhood in the evenings. Kinda like the jingle played by ice cream trucks here. Very nostalgic.
One of my favorite ❤️, I couldn’t slip them period.
Great to see a new video post. I recently moved to central Florida and you two have taught me so much about growing vegetables in this very different climate from what I am used to in the Midwest. Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration!
Hello folks and Bing Bing, always here supporting your channel. Love the gardening channel.
Yum! Kimchi goes with everything!
You nailed the pronunciation of "satsumaimo"! Satsuma is an area currently called Kagoshima, located in the southern part of Japan, and "imo" means potato. Thanks for yet another amazing video! Blessings 🙏🏽❤️
Thanks for the info!
I’m building a library playlist called interesting by others as well as my own videos. I like the way you deliver the video. It feels natural and unscripted. Any of your videos could have made the list but I chose this one. I also subscribed. The library is for anyone trying to garden so information can stay free accessible and flowing!
I've missed you guys ❤
Watching Bing Bing happily run through the sweet potato patch brought joy to my day! I don’t know if you’ve tried the Okinawan sweet potato (purple flesh), I love it! It was a childhood snack for me. You can make a great haupia (coconut) sweet potato pie from it! Btw, thank you for your prayers…gardening heals my grieving soul.
Looks like a good harvest. I am partial to the solid purple sweet potatoes and the white sweet potatoes.
That was fun to watch.
Thank you for teaching all of us.
Looks beautiful with the very red skin.
Looked delicious.
We love making sweet potato fries that we just bake in the oven.
Everything Nancy cooks looks yummy!
I like them!
Satsuma imo kinda like the orange with a weird ending lol.
In Jamaica we use the vines as New slips
I planted japanese sweet potatoes around April this year. I followed your other videos using bone meal and blood meal. Hope to harvest soon
They have quite a few months to go for sure if you planted in April 😉
I grow Murasaki sweet potatoes and they’re the best sweet potato ever! I love that they have the drier, fluffier texture of a regular baked potato, but a hint of sweetness like a sweet potato. They’re amazing! And the one year I was able to grow them without deer pressure, they were extremely productive!
That’s the right way how to grow sweet potatoe cause even me here in abroad too I’m doing that.
I grew some gold's and truly easy.
as a child who grew up eating roasted japanese sweet potatos, you just can't beat them with melted butter. i loved how u pronounced it. lol i'm sure someone else has already told you but it's pronounced: sa tsu ma ee mo. it's imo (eemo) means potato and satsuma is the kind of sweet potato. (Smile) thanks for the wonderful videos!! we love them.
Love this info! Thank you for sharing!! Now I want to grow me some!
Great harvest.
I would love to know, other than blood and bone meal at the beginning... what fertilizer, if any, did you use during the growing process?
Thank you for another great video. I’m so grateful to see your harvest. We just ate a different variety of Japanese sweet potatoes about 12 hours ago. They were reddish purple on the outside and white on the inside “Murasaki” sweet potatoes. Wow they were so delicious. I wonder if I can grow more from one of these? You two are an inspiration to me. God bless you.
In NZ they are called Kumera. Delicious mashed with a good slice of butter (no milk or cream), salt and pepper 😋 blessings.
Yum!
🌺cute it's Sa - tsu say "sue" - ma. imo means potato-say "emo". Sa sue ma emo, Hope this helps. We love growing satsuimo.
Looks good
I’ve been growing some purple sweet potatoes I picked up from the Asian market a couple years ago. They grow great and they produce delicious leaves all throughout the heat of summer and the sweet potatoes aren’t as sweet as regular sweet potatoes and they have a smoky flavor. They are good sweet or savory.
Every time you pray before you eat, it makes me want to cry...its so beautiful. God bless you both.🙏💜
Awesome job!!👌💯💯💯
Dump the bucket onto a tarp to make soil reclamation easier.
I love sweet potatoes. The outside color was beautiful when Nancy got through washing it. Good haul there!!
Always learn so much from y'all. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH and Bing Bing .
They looked so good
the sweet potato leaves taste great fried tempura style
So do the Satsumaimo itself.
Looks beautiful glad you had such big success with your sweet potatoes I love eating sweet potatoes
Thanks so much
That potato reminded me if a Christmas ornament when Nancy was washing it, all shiny. Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Love that you keep trying out new varieties of produce. Hope all is well with you. Nancy, and Bing Bing.
Can we see Hollis try some spicy kimchi? Please I’d love to see that 😂😂😂
I've heard that letting the vines grow SO long and letting them reroot as they sprawl severely hinders the sweet potato production because so much energy is going to the vines and new roots. I will be trellising mine high and any that spill over to root into the ground i will be pruning back and lifting the vines to prevent them from rooting
Or you could harvest the greens and cook them. They are delicious.
@@humanbeing4368 it's an acquired taste. I grow enough other food I don't enjoy the sp vines
Another great tutorial Hollis. Thanks for all the sharing that you and Nancy do. All the best to you both. Good to see Bing Bing out. Awesome sweet potatoes!!! Hollis knows how to break that up! lol All the best!
I've watched your videos for years. Always enjoy them. Would you possibly tell where you obtained the wire baskets that you gathered your sweet potatoes in?
I love your videos.
Back to basics.
Using a lot of your garden advise for the first time My garden is doing really good. Thank you so much !!!
Wonderful!
My sweet potato vines grew big beautiful vines like that no potatoes.
Too much nitrogen?
That looks absolutely delicious. I’m wondering how they do canned I bet those will be a good and a vegetable soup also
I've been meaning to ask... how old is Bing Bing in 2024? Love your channel!
Great job
Old Scottish table grace. Some ha’ meat (food) that canna’ eat, and some that could eat lack it. But I ha’ meat, and I can eat, and sae the Laird be thanket.
I LOVE that!
So we can have them 2x a month or more? I know it was done last winter, but how is your mom since she moved in with you. what is the dish on hollis side in the square container, Is there a video on that?
Good job
We are still working on growing sweet potatoes. Our last crop was in for 120 days, and still had healthy leaves. We should have left them in the ground as we only got a few, small potatoes. Next slips will be planted soon.
Got to say... You two know how to make beautiful videos! Love the chicks growing with the potatoes, i find i smile through the whole thing...
Glad i get to meet you and be in heaven with you one day!...
✝️
I found the pronunciation for you.
Sat su ahmo. I think it means “easy vegetable. “
Sat-su-my-e-mo
But that just means sweet potato in Japanese. Lol
That is allot of sweet potato from one bucket
You will probably have them every year in that spot unless you got every root, or had a killing frost.
For what it’s worth, if’n you’d buried the sweet potato instead of using toothpicks and water, you’d likely have gotten lots more slips, or at least that’s what Danny at Deep South Homestead recommends. If your experiment works out, maybe you can grow enough to sell slips in the future. At least you know you can get big taters. The biggest collection of sweet potatoes that I have found is Sand Hill Preservation Center, and they have hundreds.
I’m Japanese so here I go.
Satsuma-eemo. Imo means potatoes.
Satsuma as satsuma orange.
Does look yummy! I love your gardening videos
After watching this channel for many years, I used the water, jar, toothpick method to create slips and it works tremendously well for me. I put my jars on heat mats and they create slips by the hundreds. In 2022 I had approximately 420 slips out of just a few sweet potatoes. I had to scale back a little since I didn't have room in my garden for that many slips. Since then, I normally stop around 200 slips.
This is the method I used. My first attempt at growing sweet potatoes. From one potato, I got 15 slips. I'm thrilled. ❤
You are correct. If you bury a tater, you would produce many more slips.
They are pronounced "sat sue me Emo"
What did you put in the hole where you planted your plants
Hi Hollis and Nancy, Question. I pulled a few garlic, and they don't have that outside paper skin, individual garlic have their skin, but not the skin that goes around the whole thing. I read that the garlic sheds its skin when you water. Will it grow back quickly, it's about harvest time in Ohio????
Ok Hollis, need to try a little harder. Nancy looks lovely sitting at the dinner table. You look like you just came in from the fields 😂
Love the channel though, i’ll be growing purple Japanese Sweet potatoes this year with purple flesh. These are the same purple potatoes the people of Okinawa eat that people believe is the reason for their longevity.
For what it’s worth, sweet potato vines, leaf petioles (between the stem and the leaf) and leaves are all humanly edible, and you can find MANY recipes online. Chickens, pigs, and cattle all consider them treats.
@@vickisavage8929 My chickens as well as myself love them and they are so good for us!
@@hiltonhillfarms5995 👍
Once they are planted and growing should i fertilize the sweet potatoe plants?
Hi
I've had some sweet potato slips growing in a large container for a little over a month and I don't feel like they're growing much. It's full of roots but the vines don't seem to be growing much... Anyone have any suggestions?
I do it in a clear tub with a lid with air holes. I keep the temperature consistently humid and warm. They don't like the temps to go up and down day/night. A heating pad under works great. Once the roots form it isnt long before you get the slips and once they start it will go quite quickly. Don't do it in water like Hollis has it 😬 they need to be started end of winter really. You don't need the roots on the sweet potato to harvest the slips
I normally start the growing of slips on February 1st each year. By early April they are ready to be planted...and then harvested late October to November.
Plant the slips asap! You don’t need the vines to grow until they are planted in the soil.
I started them in February and planted them in April and it just doesn't seem like they are growing. They're in a clear container so I can see all the roots growing everywhere but the vines themselves aren't growing that fast.
@@DebRoo11 I don't start them in water I start them in dirt and I planted the slips in a big clear container in April. I can see the roots growing through the container all over the place but the vines don't seem to be growing much.
Thank you both for NOT letting your gomesteading channel fall to nothing but pushing political propaganda. I just want to learn I don't want propaganda pushers from both sides. It's so exhausting .
ha its satsuma imo good try
imo is potato in japanese
so do u put the huge potato in water n the eyes
makes shoots then do u take the shoots n put it in a jar to root?
i love satsuma potatoes they sell them roasted in the japanese market here in hawaii u love it with flake salt maybe i will try buy some raw potatoes n grow some shoots thank u for your video
It defys conventional wisdom, but it seems sweet potatoes grow better in areas where they are under stess. (less water, fertility etc.)
those are yummy.,..
