I’ve always liked smaller potatoes,sweet and regular potatoes. When I was a child in the late sixties my mom worked for Kendall Groves packing house in Homestead Florida. She lived in a grove house and it was agriculture all around. After they would harvest the redskin potatoes they would allow us to drive out in the field and fill the trunk with creamers, the potatoes were too small for the machine. I don’t know if they have machines for that nowadays. But we would give potatoes to all of our friends. I remember she would boil them , then she would cut them and put butter & parsley. I loved them, sorry for the long comment.
HI DEEP SOUTH I JUST WANED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHAMBERS BITTERS YOU WERE PULLING OUT OF YOUR GARDEN JUST FOR A. DIY THING??? DID YOU KNOW THAT CHAMBER BITTERS ARE A GREAT HERB!!! ITS SUPPOT OF HEALTH IN URINARIA HEALTH, ACUTE DIABETES DYSENTERY,FLU,TUMORS, HEADACHES, FEVER, KIDNEYAND LIVER HEALTH ALSO SO IT MAY BE A BIG PAIN IN YOUR GARDEN ITS GREAT FOR HERBAL REMEDY! THANK YOU!❤
@@allyshivers3082 just ask around, someone will probably be more than happy to let you have some, but DON'T plant them! They are so invasive its crazy, and those seeds can live for years
@@allyshivers3082 look up what herbs are for your specific problem, God gave us lots of weeds. You may have a different one that does the same. I never heard of chamber bitters, but when I hear bitters my eyes light up!
I like the smaller sweet potatoes, too. And cooked in the hot ashes of a wood fire. Like eating candy. Thank you for the video and blessings from our mountain top homestead to yours!
10-14 days til I harvest the first sweet potatoes I have attempted to grow. If they do even half as well as my Yukon Gold this year, I will be thrilled
You never fail me. I knew you would have a UA-cam on harvest time for sweet potatoes... now I know I planted two weeks after y'all. Regular as rain and you do not disappoint!😍 Thanks for the timely reminder.
I love digging potatoes. It's like digging for treasure and you never know what you'll get. Mine are at 112 days right now, so I plan to let them go to 120. I can't wait. I am growing fall Irish potatoes too. I planned it so they'll be done right before Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing Danny. Good stuff.
Thanks for educating us on what a good sweet potato looks like. I always look for the bigger ones, so I won't have to spend so much time peeling them, but I'm going to be looking for the smaller ones now. This year I got some in the ground in my garden. I'm 5th generation Californian, but my husband and I are looking to move our family to a more conservative state, and I'll have to learn gardening in a different climate. I guess that will be a fun challenge. I also appreciate your porch talks and how you are reaching people who need it, and supporting those of us in agreement with you both. God bless you both. 🙏❤
We had a four by five raised box with five slips. Harvested last week. Got about forty pounds. Little to huge. One grew like a duck decoy. So excited to have sweet potatoes. My daughter helped me with four boxes this year. My husband passed away in January. Didn’t want to plant but she did. Glad now we did. Cherokee purple tomatoes did great. Banana peppers also. Love you and learn so much. Started canning last year at 70. Husband loved to help.
Yes we found out when we lived in Mississippi the smaller sweet potatoes are the best love Mississippi sweet potatoes ❤️ if nothing happens we plan on making a trip to Mississippi to buy several bushes of sweet potatoes
I agree on the sad state of grocery market biz. I was the National Sales and Marketing Director for La Vida Foods. That business is soul stealing and heart breaking. I was embarrassed how deceptive and back stabbing folks can be. The money I made could not offset dealing with dishonest folks who were playing the consumer. I was glad to get those folks out of my life.
When I get sweet potatoes, I cook a batch and then dry and powder what I don't eat. That way I can scoop out a 1/4 cup as a side dish when I'm having a bad day.
@@Southerngrl I mash after baking and spread very thin on dehydrator sheets, like a fruit leather. When dry crush in any method you choose and store in air tight jars.
I got your manual and even though I’m in zone 6, it worked! I dug up a patch yesterday. I didn’t get any giants but got a lot of good eating potatoes. Wow!!! So exciting! Thanks!!!
The very first farm that I can remember living on as a child, my dad share cropped. He stormed our landlords land and helped with the animals and turn we got a home to live in and profit off the crops. Basically he was a Hired Hand with benefits. When we first got to the home there was a building that the landlord thought was falling in. My dad said it's not falling in its got help. It took him a year to get rid of all the groundhogs. Fun fact when we first moved into the homestead there was no indoor toilet. When we got our first indoor bathroom with the toilet I got spanked because I flushed the toilet too many times, LOL.
I grew my first sweet potatoes last year using your method of growing slips in my greenhouse. I used the bottom trays of my seed trays & laid em down half in dirt & I had tons of slips. After a year off I look forward to next year's harvest of everything I'm learning.
You know I just love watching you both... I've learned alot from you... love that old tractor, your animals even feel the love you both have for your life... such an inspiration, you make my days better every episode...
Awesome video Mr Danny it definitely shows how you are a good steward of what God has given you. “A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Proverbs 12:10
Do you know what is going on with Off Grid with Doug and Stacey. They haven't posted in over 3 wks. I pray things are well with them. I watch all your videos and thank you for all you put out there.
I was also worried about Doug & Stacy. I looked everywhere & can't find anything. Was thinking they took time off for the rv trip with Gary & G-kids but they were working so hard &fast to get Mom in log home. Pray alls well with them. Tks Danny on the sweet potatoe reveal This is my 2nd year growing but I forgot when I planted🙄👵 Health issue/better now. Dug one up & it was good but Not as sweet as last years. In fla hot & much rain.
I just watched a Hew Richards video on “”storing nutrients”. He puts mixture of weeds in a 5-gallon bucket, soaking with water, topping with wood mulch, lastly losely covering with wood slats all fall-winter. By spring it is a very beneficial, dark tea.
I did 120+ days and got nothing but a few tiny yams! Using them for starters. It’s been a bad year for me too! Once our hot weather left, everything started growing! Oh well!
Debbie-Texas we love the small potatoes the best but I will can the large ones. I found that the container potatoes needed longer 130-140 days. The inground patches were ready at about 120 I dont know tge reason but harvest was better for us this year. But still need more. Nothing thrown away. Bless ya
Nice looking sweet taters Im with yall smaller and growing your own is a million times better You know everything about where that tater came from Keep growing Keep making videos Aninals look great Be safe God Bless
All summer long just waiting and loving on my sweet potato patch...alot of admiring the flower itself and all this digging has got me so darn excited...I just want to know know WHAT IS UNDER THERE???? Lol. They still growing lavishly...patience grasshopper I tell myself.
Hey Danny. I use my yard tractor just like you do for cleaning up beds. I usually bushog, but found using a bagger attachment for weedy areas cleans up better. Then Ill put a cover crop on it.🌱🌱🌱🚜
Good morning! I HATE those Chamber Bitters. They have become worse than the coffee bean weeds ugh! I pull those things like crazy and they still come back with a vengeance. It’s bad when the grass in the pasture is getting shaded out by coffee bean weeds but the way those chamber bitters took over part of the garden they look like a lawn lol! Working at it to get them out before tilling….maybe I can get the seeds out of the garden also. Thanks for telling me the name of the weeds so I can curse them properly 😂
I live alone and started buying the medium potatoes because I just cannot finish the bigger ones and realized what you said. I got just as much potato I could eat from it, less waste and it was softer and more enjoyable.
Wow. Thanks Danny!! I never knew the size mattered of the flavor. I was one of the people looking for the biggest potato. Mostly because it was easier to hold and peel. I’d rather have flavor over convenience. Thanks again!
Great video y'all. There's something about digging potatoes that's just plain fun. I think it's the anticipation of what's under that dirt. Your harvest may not have been what it usually is but I know you're thankful for it all.
We just "test dug" one plant in Ohio to see how our sweet potatoes were doing! They were so good! It's going be the best year for sweet potatoes harvest we've ever Had I think! They are looking awesome. Just like our Yukon potato harvest! This year has been an amazing year for potatoes for us! We have 150 plants so it's gonna be amazing when we dig them in a few wks as long as we don't get a frost but even if we dig them early they already the size of our hand!👏🙌💜🍠
So far in Ohio it seems like everything is dieing off about 2 weeks early! Hopefully that doesn't mean frost will set in early! Usually about the 2nd or 3rd week in October. I'm in Medina County.
@@Jomama02 I do think it will be cold and 🌨snowing hard this year..we got dumped last year and loved it! We prayed every jar will be filled and the Lord has been good to us! We are ready for Jesus or snow either is fine!
@@kramitdreams I think we will get lots of snow this year! We haven't had a real bad winter snow wise since about 94ish? After a very hot summer like we had this year! But I do like your thinking! Ready for snow or Jesus!
In Broxton GA up until a few years ago, the grass along the roads was cut by cows tied on leashes. What if you brought a cow over and let them clean up before you start
Hope the link posted. I remember Dad always feeding those small ones to the hogs and we ate the hogs every year, so I'm sure it didn't hurt their growth or health. Anyway, I looked it up and it says it's fine
Excellent video, homestead is the way to go which the food you grow taste better even the animals because you know what your feeding them. I've raised hogs and can taste the difference in store brought pork. Beef you can taste the grains and grass they eat, oh man taste good. Keep up the heritage on farming .
Amazing harvest!! I absolutely love sweet potatoes!! Just ordered your sweet potato manual. I need to go check my my sweet tater area, I checked a few weeks ago & had nothing. 1st time ever growing them.
Yes i agree This and That 🐖🐖❤️ have absolutely grown triple in size just in the short time they have been their. Goes to show love helps them grow and the great sweet potatoes!
Thank you for sharing. We appreciate it. Our sweet potatoes got a bit overwatered early this summer. The weather was just so weird. So rainy then super dry. They’re going well now, but it may be too little too late. You do what you can…
Good Early Weehours!! You are right, Bro. Danny! The giant jumbo potatoes are not as good as the smaller and medium sized sweet potatoes. One day, you should test your soil's chemistry levels just to see how much of the NPK is available. But I can tell the soil is healthy. It may the slips or seed that is corrupted which is why you ended having some undergrowths or some overgrowths. LOL I don't ever recall seeing this ever happened back in the days when my grandparents grew them in their garden in the 60s. But it may have been that way. I just forgot. But i never forget them long vines. And we had two kinds: one were the potato vines and the other were grape vines. 😁😁😁 God bless you and all here. ♥️♥️♥️❤❤❤♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏👵
So THAT'S what is growing in my back two acres! Fortunately, I have my sweet potatoes in a raised bed - no weeds. They had a late/rough start due to the massive amount of rain we got in May, but they have been flowering and I will give them another couple weeks before I test dig.
My garden is in central and chamber bitters are my worst nightmare right now. Atleast there somewhat easy to pull out for me I'll be walking all through my beds to spot pick 😂
Your sweets look good. I'm getting ready to pull up mine today. I've seen Chamber bitters everywhere this year on my homestead, places they've never been. Weird..
Great stuff as always. Seeing you feed those pigs reminded me of an article I read in Stockman Grass Farmer years ago. Alan Nation wrote that cured hams raised in the Deep South were once more prized than even those highfalutin Iberian pigs because they were finished on fruit and sweet potatoes. I hope to do something similar next years.
I do love harvest time. Sumer is hanging on later than I expected and so I am hoping for a good harvest, especially as I tucked in a few extra sweet potato slips where I had harvested my spring crops. I had intended them as a cover crop to keep the weeds down, but since I planted a 90 day variety the "cover crop" should be old enough to harvest within the next 2 weeks! Usually it would be cold by now but it is still getting up to 80 degrees
The deer got my sweet potatoes. The took out most of my potatoes and beans. Was able to re plant beans. Thanks Danny your sweet potato booklet on how to grow is fantastic.
Thank you Danny. Used your method of growing sweet taters this year and they are an amazing patch of green foliage. Even got lots of beautiful lavender colored blooms. Harvest time in a week for me. Can't wait. Many thanks Sir!
We like the Puerto Rican variety and like them on the smaller size too. We grew them commercially in eastern nc growing up. Your hogs are looking good too.
I probably will not get sweet potaoes. I "rescued" one from the neighbor compost, they threw a bunch of sprouted ones out and I picked one up and loosely put it in my asparagus jungle, we'll it's growing😁 just was a bit late in the year, but nothing lost.
Loves us some Sweet 'Taters. Literal mountains of 'em. The months on November through about April ... Sweet Potato makes up fully 25% of our caloric needs. They're *super* easy here. No damaging disease ... although we do get the Scurf every 4 or 5 years, it's superficial brown spots that hurt neither the plant itself nor the flavor/nutrition of the tuber. No insecrt pests other than a few onsie-twosie holes in the occasional leaf by the Japanese Beetle when it's waiting for something tastier to attack. *SUPER* easy to propagate - No purchasing seed every year. In one year of saving seed tubers you can save enough to feed a small village. They don't require good soil. We use our crapiest clay-soil plots (although the soil does need worked up loose and fluffy or we'll end up with twisted and mis-shapen Potatoes.) Very little fertility. We toss a measured Tbsp of good ol' triple-13 in the hole at planting time and that's all they get. Did our first succession harvest last night. Filled 6 each, 40 pound crates - 246 pounds from just 2 rows of 50' each. Second succession next month in 3 or 4 weeks will be even better/more. If you live in deer country, though, electric fence *required* !! Sweet Potato Greens Salad is their favorite midnight snack.
"Butterball Fat" - I LOVE IT!

Just curious, is there any part of the chamber bitter that should be avoided or is poisonous?
I like the smaller sweet potatoes, too. And cooked in the hot ashes of a wood fire. Like eating candy.
Thank you for the video and blessings from our mountain top homestead to yours!
Our patch is swamped with weeds. After seeing this video I'm a little more confident that we might get a decent harvest. Thanks Danny and Wanda.
10-14 days til I harvest the first sweet potatoes I have attempted to grow. If they do even half as well as my Yukon Gold this year, I will be thrilled

Sorry I missed Saturday night live Now it shows as private Love you guys thanks for the time you put into making videos
It was funny. Danny got all flustered at UA-cam messing with his content. AI is the enemy.
The little calf is just beautiful and them pigs are growing so fast i enjoy watching y’all
I love starting my morning with this kind of video. God Bless

That's what I say. It's always a surprise and like digging for hidden treasure.
Grandma used to bake sweet potatoes in wood stove nothing like them thank you for your videos makes the day better get a little taste of home
My favorite season at DSH, Cow treat season!
Thanks for educating us on what a good sweet potato looks like. I always look for the bigger ones, so I won't have to spend so much time peeling them, but I'm going to be looking for the smaller ones now.

So great! You bull, is like my bull....Steve he comes up for head scratches and backbrubs❤️🐂❤️
Thanks for always speaking plainly and truth. I love you and Wanda, and your videos.
When I get sweet potatoes, I cook a batch and then dry and powder what I don't eat. That way I can scoop out a 1/4 cup as a side dish when I'm having a bad day.
Interesting... gotta try that
I do the same and use the powder with my bread and tortilla flour. Makes really pretty and extra nutritious tortillas.
I've been thinking about powdering some... haven't tried it yet.
How do you powder sweet potatoes?
@@Southerngrl I mash after baking and spread very thin on dehydrator sheets, like a fruit leather. When dry crush in any method you choose and store in air tight jars.

Thank you guys. Your sweet potatoes look good and you all are so good to your animals,it's a joy to watch!

THANK YOU FOR CHEERING ME UP
I received my sweet potato book the other day. Wow there was a lot that I didn't know about sweet potatoes!
Danny my dad felt the same way about groundhogs. The only good groundhog is a dead groundhog.
The very first farm that I can remember living on as a child, my dad share cropped. He stormed our landlords land and helped with the animals and turn we got a home to live in and profit off the crops. Basically he was a Hired Hand with benefits. When we first got to the home there was a building that the landlord thought was falling in. My dad said it's not falling in its got help. It took him a year to get rid of all the groundhogs.

This is my 2nd year growing but I forgot when I planted🙄👵 Health issue/better now. Dug one up & it was good but Not as sweet as last years. In fla hot & much rain.
We've got that same curse with the Chamber Bitters here in Lucedale. Even in my containers. They just take over everything.
Nice to see some sweet potatoes.
Hello such beautiful sweet potatoes love both of your strive...good harvest
Great job! Nice clean up too! 👍 Nice piece of property!
I just watched a Hew Richards video on “”storing nutrients”. He puts mixture of weeds in a 5-gallon bucket, soaking with water, topping with wood mulch, lastly losely covering with wood slats all fall-winter. By spring it is a very beneficial, dark tea.
I did 120+ days and got nothing but a few tiny yams! Using them for starters. It’s been a bad year for me too! Once our hot weather left, everything started growing! Oh well!
the Dooleys of Michigan Enjoyed
Lots of good Sweet Potato pies!!
How special and Beautiful ❤️ 🤗 is that! The ability to bond with animals. This and That 🐖🐖❤️🤗

I always dig around in the potatoes at the grocery store for the smaller potatoes. I learned well from my mom.
love hearing your perspective
It’s nice to see the pigs run to you instead of being wild like when you got them. Watch yer fingers Danny!😆
Amazing harvest!! I absolutely love sweet potatoes!! Just ordered your sweet potato manual. I need to go check my my sweet tater area, I checked a few weeks ago & had nothing. 1st time ever growing them.
Thanks Danny. Same happened to me. 1- 50 foot row. 90° days and rain every other day. So over grown. Thanks for the tutorial. God Bless and stay safe.
My rabbits loved my sweetpotatoes vines. They didn't eat the roots but they loved the vines
Good video, cows are happy❤
I have fed those little bitty sweet potatoes along with my vines to my meat rabbits and no issues.
Yes i agree This and That 🐖🐖❤️ have absolutely grown triple in size just in the short time they have been their. Goes to show love helps them grow and the great sweet potatoes!

I'm with you. I always buy the smallest sweet potatoes at the store. Much sweeter. 🙂
Awesome harvest ❤️sweet potatoes 🍠.

I do love harvest time. Sumer is hanging on later than I expected and so I am hoping for a good harvest, especially as I tucked in a few extra sweet potato slips where I had harvested my spring crops. I had intended them as a cover crop to keep the weeds down, but since I planted a 90 day variety the "cover crop" should be old enough to harvest within the next 2 weeks! Usually it would be cold by now but it is still getting up to 80 degrees
My horse LOVED sweet potatoes. He made it to 30 years of age. In the thumbnail picture he is eating bread and butter pickles.
The deer got my sweet potatoes. The took out most of my potatoes and beans. Was able to re plant beans. Thanks Danny your sweet potato booklet on how to grow is fantastic.
Thank you Danny. Used your method of growing sweet taters this year and they are an amazing patch of green foliage. Even got lots of beautiful lavender colored blooms. Harvest time in a week for me. Can't wait. Many thanks Sir!
I had an attack of some small catapilars eating my sweet potatoes leaves down to the veins. I had to spray BT so my harvest will be late.
We cut our vines with a string trimmer, pull all off to the side so we can see what treasure lies underneath the stem. Goes much faster.
I prefer the smaller fingerlings - washed and unpeeled baked in oven and eaten with salt and butter. What can be tastier?
Good morning Mr.Danny and Ms. Wanda 🙋♀️
We like the Puerto Rican variety and like them on the smaller size too. We grew them commercially in eastern nc growing up. Your hogs are looking good too.
I always mess up the curing part. Im great at growing them
I probably will not get sweet potaoes. I "rescued" one from the neighbor compost, they threw a bunch of sprouted ones out and I picked one up and loosely put it in my asparagus jungle, we'll it's growing😁 just was a bit late in the year, but nothing lost.
My German Sheperd even loves raw sweetpotatoes. She's kind of odd that way, she eats tomatoes, canteloup, cucumbers, raw irish potatoes, etc.
Mine is the same. Add in watermelon and an occasional jalapeno, and that's her all over.
My dogs loved sweet potatoes raw or cooked.
Absolutely! My english bulldog loved them with duck! Good food for animals with allergies to cheap food.
Oh thats a great idea.
Loves us some Sweet 'Taters.
Literal mountains of 'em.
The months on November through about April ... Sweet Potato makes up fully 25% of our caloric needs.
They're *super* easy here.
No damaging disease ... although we do get the Scurf every 4 or 5 years, it's superficial brown spots that hurt neither the plant itself nor the flavor/nutrition of the tuber.
No insecrt pests other than a few onsie-twosie holes in the occasional leaf by the Japanese Beetle when it's waiting for something tastier to attack.
*SUPER* easy to propagate - No purchasing seed every year. In one year of saving seed tubers you can save enough to feed a small village.
They don't require good soil. We use our crapiest clay-soil plots (although the soil does need worked up loose and fluffy or we'll end up with twisted and mis-shapen Potatoes.)
Very little fertility. We toss a measured Tbsp of good ol' triple-13 in the hole at planting time and that's all they get.
Did our first succession harvest last night. Filled 6 each, 40 pound crates - 246 pounds from just 2 rows of 50' each.
Second succession next month in 3 or 4 weeks will be even better/more.
If you live in deer country, though, electric fence *required* !!
Sweet Potato Greens Salad is their favorite midnight snack.
I dont like big sweets either. Small baking size is my favorite too. :) I like to pop em in the microwave for 3 minutes and eat.
Hello my friend, your Deep South locations appears to be South Georgia with your sandy soil ?enjoy harvest results.
Actually south Mississippi
We love sweet potatoes. We like the smaller sweet potatoes.
