Seriously thank you......our country should be going back the our roots...... bartering and helping each other......God Bless and Help our Country....AMEN
Hi From Wellington New Zealand. Just been growing sweet potatoes for the last two years. Even in our temperate climate it can still be done. One thing I would say is that when you take the slips off the mother potato, if you dont cut it with clippers but just gently pull it out, you will have roots on the bottom and you will be able to plant out straight away!
One advantage of clipping is that the roots stay on the potato and make more slips. It only takes about 3-4 days to get a few roots on the cutting if you dip it in rooting compound.
I have watched around 50 UA-cams on sweet potatoes and sweet potato slips (i.e., Im allergic to the nightshade family so I cant eat potatoes and substitute white sweet potatoes)...and your video is the most helpful so far. You condensed the info really well. Thank you! :)
I love that you’re making the shorter videos for a quick instruction but I also watch your longer ones when I have the time. I appreciate all of what you offer. 😊
I love this. You're a great teacher. Gratitude, from a great granny, 82 years old, in big wide beautiful Montana. At 6,200 ft elevation, on the Continental Divide. Its so cold here at night that sweetbpotatoes have to be grown inside. I know. A gardener for 60 years. It was -45 degrees below zero here this winter. And it snowed all night last night. On March 24. And it will snow here until mid May off and on. And in the old days, every month of the year. Be happy and healthy from granny in Montana. Blessings sent your way. Happy gardening.
I just found your channel when this video popped up on my YT feed. Love that you call it a 'familystead'!! Thanks for the info on growing sweet potatoes!
I usually grow 1 sweet potato to use the leaves in dishes or just sauteed. This is the most informative video I have found in growing the actual potato. Thank you
Thanks.Man this is very helpful. I'm ashamed I'm from the south and have never grown sweet potatoes in my life at 70years. Well I am doing it now you cleared up a lot of things. Keep up the good work 😊
I grow Okinawa ( purple) sweet potatoes. During the Covid lockdown, I planted 3 slips, I ordered in the mail. They grow back themselves. I like to eat the leaves in a salad or juice them.
I already have two large sweetpotatoes growing plants in my kitchen! No water or soil, I've done this several times but never put them in soil because of my limited space. I'm ready to grow my own now thank you!😊
Thank you for being so thorough in explaining specifically how we grow the sweet potatoes and you do what you do to get optimal results. Great video brother! I’m a new subscriber.
I did regular rosette potatoes in a cardboard box. It was so cool. I've been watching UA-cam gardening for months and just now coming across your page.
You are so right. I planted sweetpotatos last year for the first time. They did really well. We had SP to eat all winter. I really enjoyed pulling them up . I bought my slips to start with this spring. I got them really cheap. Then I took some of my SP from last year and put them in water and some soil. Doing my own experiments. The soil method is so much better. Its 7-12-23, in NC . I'm getting ready to plant another batch of SP slips. This has become my addiction. Hope you have a great harvest .
I have actually kept those cuttings or slips in water over the whole winter period and they survived. Then i just plant them in spring. Instead of trying to store sweet potatoes and then first sprouting them and then take slips from them and then root them. I just take the slips and put them in water and then keep them in a spot where its not that cold and they survive through winter. Then i just plant them out immediately just before spring. Works like a bomb
Wow, I love your video. Everyone won’t be hungry if they know how to grow their own food. I found your channel today and we subscribed. Great job , showing us your technique.
Great video, King! Love it! I live in The Gambia, West Africa, and I’m growing sweet potatoes slips from an orange organic sweet potato that I brought back from a recent trip to the US. The slips look great and I will soon (thanks to you, put them in water to grow roots then) plant them in a cardboard box, as my yard space is small and this method suits my needs. 👑👩🏾🌾😍❤️
I never knew you could eat sweet potato leaves until i worked with some beautiful women from liberia and the way they cook it its so delicious ❤❤❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Really informative video! I have another way to further increase multiplication of plants a lot. Your idea of several indoor house plantings like a hanging baskets with two or three sweet potatoes planted in each hanging basket and they will create ALOT of pretty looking vining foliage. You can cut long sections of the vines off say one to two weeks before planting time and cut each stem that sprouts from the main vine and each one will have a node and that is the node that will create roots when the vine lays on the ground in the rows. Once you create these cuttings you basically are creating slips. Gather them and put them in a jar and in one to two weeks you’ll have more slips to plant. I also saw a video where the farmer took one row of vines and cut sections of say 3 sweet potatoe stems all together and just planted them into the prepared row to increase planting big time. Basically one row can turn into many rows of propagated sweet potatoes.
I would guestimate 17 slips would cost about $20-$25. Im growing sweet potatoes for the 2nd time this summer. Im growing the orange, Japanese, and Okinawan (purple) potatoes. I was able to keep the vines alive through the winter by planting them inside and sitting them in water. Then I planted them in my beds outside on March 3rd. They're doing very well.
@@nikkinoos82 I just added more water to the madon jar when it got home. But it turns out that may not be the best method as I didnt have a good harvest this time. I think its best to use fresh slips whether grown or purchased.
I just ran across your video and you are the best video for sweet potatoes that I have listened to and I've listened to a lot trying to figure out how to grow slips and how to plant the sweet potatoes and you made it so simple for me thank you so much I am now a fan
I think that you are amazing and the way that you speak to people is just so genuine that you make me feel good and I thank you for that and I joined your channel God bless you
Love your videos! Was going to plant sweet potatoes today. Thank you for teaching me about sweet potato slips!! Im so excited to plant them and then plant the slips!! Thank you!!!🎉
Thank you for the infornation😅 I have a lot of clippings now. I have been growing a sweet potato for A Long time and had no idea you were supposed to take the clippings off so so yes I have a lot of starters😂
Great info. We plant tye Murasaki “purple sweet potatoes are more prolific and even invasive (which is a plus). The purple potato vined everywhere in our backyard.
Thank you so much for the information! You made it super easy to understand in a very concise way! I am excited about starting my sweet potatoes from "one" potato!
First time watching. I put one store bought sweet potato in the ground August 2023and pulled them December 2023 and had a good harvest with no knowledge of gardening. I was so surprised and happy. I wish I knew about eating the leaves- I threw them away. Here it is March 2024 and a sweet potato left in the ground by mistake is growing slips. I wish all fruits and vegetables were that easy. Great video.
Great information, I've been learning how to grow these and find that growing the slips is a very good idea! Great looking garden area you got there. I too love eating the leaves, use them in salads, on top of burgers, or just as a snack, great food. Blessings...
My goodness, you are the best in growing sweet potatoes, I will start mine tomorrow. I sold. Thank you for your very informative video.Blessings to you.
Young man, I did exactly as you instructed and now I have more than 100 slips and they looking very good~ Before I was putting the potatoes in a shallow tub and then picking the slips without letting them root, but now the plants began to immediately get strong stems and looking very good~ Thanks a lot son~
Loved your video. It was the first one that I saw for sweet potatoes, and I believe i was very lucky as you gave all the information that I need. Love and blessings to you 💝 🙏
Excellent video! I just found your channel and am so glad! Your video is thorough, well thought out, and very well done. Thanks so much. Im getting started today, and looking forward to following you. Blessings from Texas.

All I can say is wow! I’ve spent way too much time trying to find a video with a detailed explanation. Thank you!
Wish i saw this video few weeks ago. Had a sweet potato in water and it got rotten
I have watched around 50 UA-cams on sweet potatoes and sweet potato slips (i.e., Im allergic to the nightshade family so I cant eat potatoes and substitute white sweet potatoes)...and your video is the most helpful so far. You condensed the info really well. Thank you! :)
Yes, very good video. Ejoyable too!
The leaves taste like spinach with a sweet potato flare. They pair nicely with bacon and onion.

Nice to hear from you. Don't think I've ever realized how high the elevation in Montana could be -- or how cold.
After years of studying the majestic ways of sweet potatoes, I can confidently say this is the best video ever made on the subject.

I did regular rosette potatoes in a cardboard box. It was so cool. I've been watching UA-cam gardening for months and just now coming across your page.
I love how you say 'water'! I'm from coastal NC, and I say 'water' just like you do! Thanks for the info on growing sweet potatoes!

Hello, did you plant them just in water? How often did you change it out when you overwinter your slips?
How long it take for to reap the potatoes?
@@nikkinoos82 I just added more water to the madon jar when it got home. But it turns out that may not be the best method as I didnt have a good harvest this time. I think its best to use fresh slips whether grown or purchased.
Hey, what planting zone are you in? I might try to grow them this November.
You are so thorough with your instructions. You have motivated me. Thank you so much!!.
