- Learning how to grow sweet potatoes is surprisingly easy - just a few plants provide a plentiful harvest. Sweet potatoes need a long warm growing season, are heat-tolerant and drought-resistant, and have very few pests or diseases. All of this makes them perfect for growing in the low desert of Arizona (yay!)

When I lived in North Carolina, I stopped at a sweet potato farm and bought 40 pounds of sweet potatoes in a cardboard box. The farmer said they would last about 4 months at room temperature. They did and those were the best tasting sweet potatoes I've ever had in my life.
So great. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you're putting this out in September bc you filmed the whole growing process. Basically every other youtuber just films the planting part. Your videos are miles ahead and soooo helpful!
Yay! Thank you! I grow them every year and really enjoy growing them.

I love it❤ it's my favorite. Where are you from sister??? Wonna know you more. Love from Nagaland, North East of India.
agreed, its content made with foresight. Great video, I took notes for this year. Our first time growing vegetables in our garden. thanks
YOU are a fantastically thorough teacher. ...and knowing WHY I am doing something is essential for success! Thank you!
May you have a sweeeeet 2024 in your life and garden.
This is a great example of why I love your videos. It clearly explains everything, including the timings, in a logical and efficient format. Thank you for being you and for all the work and inspriation!
I am originally from Uganda and we grow Sweet Potatoes. I just learnt a new way of growing sweet Potato slips. Thank you for your tips on growing sweet Potatoes. Much love from Canada.🇨🇦
I LOVE Sweet Potatoes! This is my 3rd year for growing them in 18-gallon totes. However, the deer around my home enjoy eating the greens, which are also yummy and can be fixed like spinach - raw in salads or steamed. Have had to make a 'fence' around them with Tulle. It works great.
My first try at sweet potatoes and SO appreciate your sharing info with this 80+ year old woman! Mine are happily growing and vining in a raised box in Washington State!
Very thorough and informative video. Can’t wait to get my slips in the ground 🌱🍠
Thank you for often making videos like under 20 minutes.That cover the basics get to the point.Shows nice photos or videos of what's going on in summary.Appreciate it so much thank you
Awesome video. No wasted talk or unrelated to the topic, got right into the subject and much appreciated.
The how to harvest and cure parts were in great detail, and so important to me, as I have not found anything that explained it so well. Thank you!
So much great info packed into 8 minutes. Too many Tubers repeat things 20 times wasting their time and mine. Great job!
I feed meat rabbits with sweet potato greens and I don't mind the slightly smaller root harvest I get from picking 5-8 leaves a week per plant. The bunnies are healthy, they make perfect fertilizer so my garden is happy, and it keeps feed costs cut about in half :)
Good point. I find I’m feeding my chickens a lot of the greens as well for the same reasons.

This is the BEST video I’ve seen so far and very helpful and clear on how to grow sweet potatoes. Thank you!!
Best comprehensive info I have searched for. Growing up in the south east part of the US with a southern mama who always got her sweet potato slips started in a canning jar with toothpicks in the living room and then she let the vines grow all around the ceiling. Then somehow she would create the slips and always have a place to throw some in the ground. We must’ve taken for granted, always having sweet potatoes wherever we lived as opposed to “ Irish” potatoes 💕
One of the best videos I’ve seen on sweet potatoes!
Your videos are always so full of great information. It’s obvious you love to garden and share your knowledge. Thank you. 💚
So nice of you, thanks.
You have said it all! Thanks for walking me through the process of planting my favourite root crop. 👍👍😍
Always love your videos! Thanks so much for all the great info!
Your videos are so clear, informative, and encouraging! Thanks for all of the sweet potato growing information! I'm off to try these on my Japanese yams. :)
I love how you explained everything so throughly 😊 I will definitely be trying growing my own sweet potatoes 🍠 this year. Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing and being so informed about the process
Thank you, Angela. This was very helpful, especially the practical advise about curing.
As always your videos are very interesting and informative. I was curious as how to grow these. Now I know. Thank you so much 🥰
You could do this tipe of video for every plant in the world, I would binge watch them all 🤣😍
What a great video. All the details you gave are so helpful. I made plenty of notes and I am ready to plant my slips! Thank you so much.
Thank you for this very well done video. I plan to follow your advice and look forward to watching them grow! (and eating the harvest, of course.)
Thank you so much for this lesson. I appreciate your teaching style.😊
I’m starting a garden and this is going to come in handy! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for all the helpful information. I wish I had run across your video 3.5 months ago, when I planted my sweet potatoes. I thought I had watched enough videos to have the hang of it but you mentioned quite a bit more than I had heard in a bunch of other videos. Getting ready to harvest my four plants in a week or so. Wish me luck.
Best of luck!
Best video about sweet potato especially the varieties you named are helpful for me. Beauregard and O'Henry.
Your videos are very informative. Thank you! 💚
Wonderful tips. Thanks so much for sharing!!
This year I grew Korean gold, Jersey yellow, beauregard , lilac beauty and purple mayanar. My purple variety are still in containers, been told take at least
120-150 days to grow properly. Happy gardening everyone.
Let me know how they turn out and which ones you like. Thanks for sharing.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Will do.
I’m going to get some so I’m very interested in how each turned out for you; did you use the same soil and compost for all of them … ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated on tips planting different sweet potatoes, and if and how differently they respond to growth, watering, sunlight, germination times….etc. Thanks !! ; )
Great video I just planted my first year I have a raised bed and a few grow bags so excited!!
The video is so crisp and clean; and of course the presentation is very good.😊
Thanks for the video ! Very informative and to the point !
This was the most helpful tutorial i found so far. Im in a 6B so i wont be able to plant till june, so ill start around the second week of may. Our weather has been weird for the past few years, so we should be abke to count on 80 degree temps till the second week of september before the storms and soggy weather hits, but here's hoping.
Awesome… I just ordered some purple sweet potato slips.. Thanks for the wisdom 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video. You're very informative and super appreciate that.
This is my first year growing sweet potato. It's been fun seeing them grow and using some of the leaves to eat. This was very informative. I found growing the slips with the potatoes in dirty was the best thing. Have a few weeks before harvesting.
Wonderful!
Thank you for this informative tutorial on ploughing, curing, harvesting and storing. I will try it and share the msg.
Quick and to the point. Appreciate!
Great information..love your video..wish you success and be healthy always
Thank you for sharing I'm going to try it this spring in Perryton Texas
Thank you for an educative video. I have learnt how to grow and store sweet potatoes.
im growing sweet potatoes fort the 1st time this year, im getting my slips in may. I am so excited to hzve them and be able to plant them. I LOVE SWEET POTATO! but I have never grown it! I have bought a load of different ones about 20 starts! should be enough I hope. I heard they store super well so thats so exciting.
Strait to the point, really informative, thanks for the video :)
Thanks so much. Got so much clarity.
I was given some slips from a friend and since I have a small garden I’m planting them in grow bags
Very useful information. Thank you.
Thank you!!!For all the informations.
Thank you for your show
Exactly the information I what was looking for. Thank you ✌
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent informative video!
This is by far the most accurate specific description I’ve found;
If I want a big harvest for the winter, to plant sweet potatoes at the beginning, would I use a deep container of regular potting soil (most say add %50 fertilizer and %30 compost like food scraps or manure), do I water daily since the sun drys out the fertilizer, and should they be buried or sit at the top .. ? Thanks !! ; )
This is one of my favourite crops
Thank you for showing the entire process. I live in central Texas, planted sweet potatoes in late August and they are doing well. I’m hoping to harvest in late November.
Sounds great!
Hi Fer Menegassi I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for sharing ❤
excellent presentation!
Love the vid and info. My first attempt in grow bags in Phoenix area everything died, too hot and dried out I think. Next year the vines grow like crazy but the tubers were super small after 5 months and yellowing foliage. This year we're trying self-wicking tubs and making sure the soil is not too nitrogen rich. I'm addicted to the Stokes purples and really want to get it nailed down so will keep at it.
Thank you from Ethiopia.
So thorough! Don't need to watch another video!
Fantastic information, thank you.
I had a sweet potato that was growing leaves so I just stuck it in the dirt in my plant. I came here to see what to do with it and how to know when it's ready to harvest. I know it's not ready yet. I just stuck it in there less than a month ago. It's about 2 ft tall already and super thick. I didn't mean for it to actually start growing. I thought it was going to die. I'm in Southern California so it will probably be fine over winter. I just thought it was crazy how fast it's growing.
I'm in SoCal too 🙂. I was amazed to find about 10 lbs of sweet potatoes today. Especially since I live in the desert. Next year, I am going to grow even more!
so informative thank you!
Thank you for your tips...
Great video. I am definitely going to try growing sweet potatoes 🍠. Thank you for this valuable information!!!

Enjoy your spring. Thanks for watching and hello from Arizona!
Julie, I'm in India and it's hard to find many gardeners growing in my kind of weather, except possibly Arizona and Florida! Happy gardening, Lajo
Congratulations on your crops, these are very delicious 🌵🌻👩🏻🌾🇲🇽
Thanks so much

the young leaves of sweet potatoes we make it like a salad,just blanch it and add some tomatoes little vinegar and onion if you want!really good !
Thanks so much!
Great video. Greetings from Poland ❤
Thank you! 😃 Hello from Arizona!
I’ll try those tips ✨
THANK YOU VERY MUCH😊
You answered my question I believe, about all the extra vines. As I understand, they should be trimmed to allow more energy for the sweet potatoes. Is that true? Because my sweet potatoes vines have gone crazy. I'm cutting them and giving them to a friend for her chickens. Thanks for this informative video. Happy Gardening 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
It's best NOT to trim them - let them grow and provide energy for the tubers.
Thank you!!!❤
Good one Angela
this was great
Thanks.nice video
I support your channel
Amazing thank you!
Very good
Have you ever eaten the leaves? Thanks for your informative videos. We live in the very hot NW AZ and I can't wait to plant in this hot, hot summer and actually have some! I love red jewel yams. Do they also grow the same way?
I think yams are similar - but I don't know for sure. I've tried the leaves but my chickens like them more than I do.
I grow mine in pots and for some reason, tubers don't form at the crown, but they go deep in the pot. some roots even through the pot's holes and form tubers in the ground, or even block the holes :)
Such an interesting vegetable. Thanks for shairng.
GREAT VID
When I was still in the Philippines I was living with my grandparents , they plant sweet potatoes 🍠 in the block of land
Thank you
I've watched many planting videos, with a whole lot of talking that aren't nearly as informative as this one. Thank you, job well done!
