    Nice harvest! My sweet potato harvest was embarrassingly small this season.

      They are definitely easy to grow. Good luck and thank you for watching and for the comment.

    Not a bad harvest. Sometimes you may need to let them grow a little longer. 4 to 5 months for Beauregard. Even up to the first frost. Just get them out with 2 to 3 days.

      Thanks. I actually have 4 more bags that I’m waiting until next month to harvest. Wish me luck. 😀

    That huge potato looks like one that may have been left behind in the past, may not taste as good as the small ones.

      Nope. Not a leftover. Just a mutant. 🤣 I ate it and it was good. 😋

    That's a disappointment. After all your effort. I've never been very satisfied with growing yams or sweets either. Same results as you got.
    I grow butternut squash now to ensure I've got my deep yellow vegetables for the winter. They're easy and dependable and taste yummy.

      The yield wasn’t so bad after I went through a few more bags. I did a succession planting, so I have 3 bags left to harvest in the fall. I tried butternut squash but didn’t have much luck. I replanted a couple of those in a container to see if they do better this time around. Stay tuned 😁

      What you did get looked super nice. Even the giant weird one. And I'll admit to you, I did plant 20 slips for sweet potatoes. The plants are looking good. See, I'm a sucker for punishment. ; )

      @@donnavorce8856 lol. I completely understand. I decided to replant some of my earlier fails to see if I can be successful before it gets cold (by Orlando standards). I hope you get tons of sweet potatoes. 😀
