The HAPPIEST Garden Harvest | Growing Sweet Potatoes with Ruth Stout Method
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2019
- This is the day I have been most excited about all garden season! Last year I attempted growing sweet potatoes for the first time and haphazardly threw some slips in some left over hay and those were the only ones that grew. So being super excited to find out I could grow sweet potatoes up here in Michigan, I decided to go for it all out in my Ruth Stout Garden and it was a grand success.
Thank you all for watching my gardening videos, they are some of my favorite times to share with you all. My garden is my happy place!

Your excitement is great!

Rachel, you're the only person I'm aware of that can get THAT excited about sweet potatoes!! Awesome!! You go girl. God bless!
I simply couldn't control my happiness 😂
I would have to disagree with that statement
This was such a fun video to watch. Your excitement, Rachel, was so true and honest and it was so refreshing. I really appreciate your videos and this was one of my favorites. Thank you!
Wow... very awesome harvest!!!
I am glad I found this channel
That's what I sounded like last year, it was my first time planting sweetpotatoes.My neighbors were asking if something was wrong and my husband had to tell them it's just me getting excited about my very first gardening experience.
Such a fun harvest! I was laughing and celebrating with you 🥳 Party in the potato patch!
It was so fun! Probably my favorite day ever in the garden!
Wow, now that's a happy garden!
That's awesome! I never thought to grow sweet potatoes when we lived in Toledo! God bless you guys!
Rachel, IF THIS VIDEO had a place for a 10x thumbs up I would have given it. I love your excitement and the joy that comes from growing your own food. Bless you girl, and hope to see some recipes from these awesome sweet potatoes.. Thank you for sharing..
You can also cook the young leave of sweet potatoes. Saute with garlic and onion add a pinch of black pepper and a little bit salt. Very healthy and delish.
You can also plant those stems again
Didith Acosta you a filipino?
We have a frost and snow here so there is n way I know of to preserve these vines until the next growing season. If you are in hot temperatures you are right though.

Just bring some cuttings in the house and let them grow over the winter. In the early spring, cut the long vines into pieces and root them. When frost is done, plant them out.
Leaf = one Leaves = more than one Leave = to go, to exit
Your reactions made me smile!
Aw Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing this I’m so happy for you both 🥰😋🤩
low-maintenance Gardener. I call myself a haphazard gardener. like them both.
Your enthusiasm is infectious!!! I love sweet potatoes, so many ways to enjoy them!! Todd is so caring of your adventures in gardening, it’s lovely to witness. Thanks for yet another sharing video 💞 Catherine from Canada 🇨🇦
In Liberia they eat the leaves while the tubers are growing underground. Our missionaries ate the leaves with the villagers and said they were very tasty. The very poor villagers have very few choices in their daily diet. Americans are so spoiled for choice, we should be so thankful for every blessing.
Wonderful harvest of sweet potatoes, and I'm with you on it being a favorite. I like them any way you can prepare them.
I have a plant and just sauteed the leaves, so good!
A gardner is never afraid of worms. I love ur vlog
Thank you, glad to have you with us 💚
I am jealous of your garden. I will definitely do Ruth Stout method. Thanks for sharing. From the Philippines here. Salamat po!
Good harvest. I like low maintenance garden too. Let's nature take its on course.
Great harvest Rachel, congratulations
Yes it’s astonishing as we harvest. My advice to anyone is get out and plant.
Sweet potatoes are travellers so look out all around that bed and possibly for a couple of years because they come back out of nowhere sometimes! Love how happy you were with your harvest 😊 so cute!
I've been keeping an eye out but nothing so far and they won't make though our winter if I missed anything
Once you have the plants you will always get some growing back
Not in our region, won't survive our winter
Sweet potato greens are so delicious.
So happy to watch ur video,i love gardening too..specialy when its time to harvest....i love it....
Bake sweet potatoes then split and top with small marshmallows, cinnamon and brown sugar and melt again in the microwave or oven if you need to. Yummy!
WOWZERS!! Looks to me like you have nothing to apologize for! Enjoy your bounty!!
We for sure will!
Beautiful. We had fun collecting our sweet potatoes this year. One of my favorites to grow
I appreciated your joyfulness at your harvest.
Nice! Our local county seat Gilmer, Texas has a yam festival mid October called the Yamboree. Enjoy it every year. Basically its an old style County fair honoring a local staple, Texas sweet potatoes. Pies galore, fancy cows and gospel singing. Love it.
Oh u think that sounds like Heaven's front porch!
Country people with big smiles, barn dances, funnel cakes and local produce. Yeah its pretty nice.
I love your joy!
We are in southern Minnesota. Growing sweet potatoes for the past 5 years. Never a crop failure. We plant them in black plastic. Just poke a little hole and put the slip in. This year was dry the first week they were in the ground, but most grew. Largest one year was the size of a foot ball. Love them!
Wow a football sweet potato, I think I would have started dancing 😃
Great Video!! We have sweet potato growing now. Can’t wait to see our harvest.
Thank you for the video!!
I love this video and I love sweet potatoes. I grew some in 20 lbs buckets last year and I got 60 lbs of sweet potatoes from 6 buckets, it was pure bliss. I'm growing them in buckets again this year, I really enjoy growing them this way.
Good for you! I’m excited for you.
Thanks for sharing. You're achievements are inspiring.
I really adore your joy! Thanks for a great video
Your joy is contagious. 😊
Wow!!!! That's so exciting Rachel! I just love your earth!
Me too really hoping this year's harvest is as good
Your gardening happiness is contagious, love it.
So many sweet potato tops too. It is so yummy and very nutritious too. Love this harvest video.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful harvest and the greens are delicious...and nutritious too
Totally enjoyed your harvest video. Just can’t believe that is only due to 2 years since when you stated your Ruth Stout experiment. Great job!!!
I know, stay tuned because I'm really modifying my Ruth Stout beds this year in hopes for even better production
yes the most exciting is when harvesting and so much to provide too!
I really love harvesting our sweet potato
I'm a huge garden nerd too!! I get excited too, soooo rewarding & healing. You guys are great, spring will be here before we know it.
Oh my the pure joy just made day!
She is so excited! I must subscribe.
I just found out about this method and I found this video during my research I love seeing it in action...and I love your joy and excitement i hope I'm this excited when I have my own harvest!
Love love love
I really enjoyed watching your harvest! So glad to know we'll be able to grow sweet potatoes in our Ruth Stout garden in 2020!
WOW 😀I LOVE SWEET POTATOES 😀THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME ADVENTURE 👍👍👍👍👍👍💖
Your excitement is so nice. You need a little spade to dig them out. Great harvest.
Great beautiful harvest of your sweet potatoes Rachael! I was told by an old lady that you can eat the leaves of the sweet potato plant and that they are delicious ! She said you can eat them in salads , stir fries, or cooks like you do other greens and fry the leaves with a little oil and butter like you do fried cabbage or boil them like you would collards , turnips or mustard greens ! She said they have a slightly sweet taste and are very delicious ! She also said sny little potatoes left behind will regrow plants and make sweet potatoes next growing season !! I thought it was great info especially with our food shortages were now having ! God bless and I love your videos ! ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻
sauted young leaves of sweet potatoes is so delicious and healthy❤️❤️ beautiful harvest.. lots of sweet potatoes...
I love to see it 😍😍😍
Isn't it soooo amazing what the nature can give us ❤❤
Wow !!!!
I really liked this video.And I love the ones in the garden ! Wush I had one, I guess !! God bless. Be Safe 👍👍 😊
I feel the same way about sweet potatoes, I didn't do nearly as well as you but still super thankful for what Gob blessed me with. Nice harvest:-):-)
ME ENCANTA EL BONIATO ME ENCANTA QUE LO HAGAN EN FAMILIA. BESOS DESDE URUGUAY.
Yea. Sweet potatoes. So many ways to cook them. They were my late, sweet mother’s favorite vegetable. She grew up having them as a treat after school. Grandpa would put raw ones on the hearth and they were soft by the time she and her siblings got off the bus.
The Ruth Stout method worked for me in a positive way. I harvested ordinary potatoes, far more than i can handle, from an area just a fraction in size to what you have there. I live in Melbourne suburbia.Nice to see you reaping the fruits of your labour.........so satisfying.......Best Regards.
We're going into year #3 of Ruth Stout this spring, can't argue the results!
Love how excited you get when you find the potatoes. Gardening is exciting! That is how I am getting when I pull out a carrot because this is the first time growing them for me.
Seeing you happy makes me happy 😊
Wow.. bountiful harvest.. i still remember on my childhood days, sweet potatoes saves our breakfast together with coffee. My grandmother used to plant sweet potatoes in rice paddy. 🇵🇭
I could watch this video over and over! Not just for the learning, but the reaction with every one that comes up!
This is so awesome. Congratulations on your harvest. Lots of meals here. Yay.
My mom will love and hate this video. She’ll love it for the number of potatoes you harvested. She’ll hate it for all the sprouts that you discarded. When she plants sweet potatoes, she will harvest the sprouts, blanch them and eat them with tomatoes, salt and pepper. I’ve had it. It’s actually good.
your excitement is so contagious!!! I was rooting for you as you were pulling them up. My husband wanted to know what was going on! Keep up the great work, I love watching your channel!
Thanks for rooting for me 😊 and thank you for your support and encouragement ❤️
It looks amazing.
This made me happy too! I live in a apartment. I have a small garden. So watching these types of videos makes me happy. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Awesome I'm thankful to be able to share my garden with you
In Nicaragua we call them camote. I share your exciting time harvesting. Hugs from Nicaragua.
Rachel that looks like fun.
Happy eating those sweet potatoes.
You got to try to roast them with garlic and rosemary.
I've been binge-watching your sweet potato videos to watch your shear joy in harvesting!! You are the cutest ever Rachel, and now I am going to plant sweet potatoes this year in our new Kentucky garden! Love you both so much.
Great video Rachel and y’all got the mega load of sweet potatoes 🍠
I would be excited for the sweet potato greens as well! They taste so good.
I live just a few miles from Calders in Monroe, I would love to see your garden sometime, wonderful harvest of my favorite veggie! Great video!
I get so excited like you when I dig up my potatoes too. Glad I found your channel, someone who has a similar growing zone as me. I am in Northwest NJ
Welcome aboard!
Exciting!
Calder Dairy Farms sweatshirt......I went to school with John Calder in Allen Park....Class of 1974! I live in CA now. Love your videos....it makes me miss Michigan.
My daughter worked there
Oh how I love sweet potatoes! Your harvest was great. I picked up some old harvesting baskets yesterday at a thrift store $4! I am so excited to use them next year!
Awesome, I love thrift store scores
My favorite😍
love this.
Thank You for the information!!Love the excitement,,I get excited too when I see a great eating that going to my table 😀 ❤👍🏾
Definitely satisfying!
This looks like a therapy to me.
I love how excited you were with the harvest. Those sweet potatoes looked amazing and they really seemed to love the Ruth Stout bed judging by the growth of the vines.
Yes they love growing in this method
I love it, too:)! Me and my Grandsons:)!
Wow....
Every time you show your amazing garden I always remember the spring flooding and can't believe how will it's come.
I know it's crazy how bad it was and how well it turned out, I did replant several times, but I'll stress less next time
I live in Connecticut. I had an awesome sweet potato harvest this year and I was almost as excited as you when I pulled those tubers up. You can grow your own slips from your own potatoes. I grew my slips from two organic sweet potatoes I purchased last year. l got sixteen healthy beautiful slips. I too planted my garlic in my sweet potato bed together with my first attempt to grow shallots. Garlic is my other favorite crop!
😎😎
I may just try to grow my own slips this year. New things are always so intimidating to me, but if I never try I'll never learn!
When I grew my own slips I chose a potato (organic) from Whole Foods that was grown locally so that it would be good for my climate. I cut either one in half or used two. I don’t remember. I suspended them in a glass of water using tooth picks. I don’t remember how far in advance I did it but I’m thinking March for a June planting. At first one produced and I got nothing from the other. Eventually I got more slips than would fit in my bed and I gave some away. This year I mulched with black plastic bags to heat up the soil. I got my best sweet potato harvest. Some of them grew far from the plant on long runners sometimes a foot or longer.
It was a warm not too wet summer here where I live. That helped.
This year, in addition to my own potatoes, I saved some Japanese potatoes and white sweets from a local organic grower. Hope to have my own (I think they were Garnett) and the whites and the Japanese.
I love my vegetable garden and the miracle of working with the world to create food for me and my friends and family.
😎😎
What a beautiful sweet potato HARVEST!! I love the excitement in your voice! Lol. I'm looking forward to growing potatoes next SPRING/summer season!! Happy FRIDAY! Happy gardening❤🌽🍁🌿🍂🍠🍓🍅🍆
Just something to bring up to yall is that you can eat the leaves of sweet potato vines like spinach. I dehydrate them along with other greens and make a super green powder and add it to soups and shakes. They are amazing 👍
We are actually eating the leaves as well.give it stir with onions,garlic and oyster sauce..oh heaven!
I love how happy this project made you!! Such a lovely video!!🥰
Lovely couples to see hand on hand harvesting. Bountiful. God bless. Im happy too.
