Hey, bro. A lil advice from one grower to the next…. To get more taters. Trim back the foliage before it get to that level. You only want vines/leaves to grow enough to Cover the area that your expecting to grow/produce taters. Your taters shoots put more energy into the leave & foliage than taters. You can control that by “topping” or cut off leading shoots that grow outside of your taters growing area. Also, the soil need to be really really porous or lose so that the tater shoots don’t have to work hard to break thru the soil to grow bigger. Lastly, add boat loads of compost. Taters love compost. And I would suggest making your tater rows higher or build them higher. Example. Make beds 2ft wide, 20ft long and 3-4 high. High pile are easy for taters to grow easier to harvest. Just a thought. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes it sure helps, commercial growers have a flail mower that straddles the rows and the prune.
Ashes? How much should I use?
Yeah I noticed the soil as well.
Agree with what he said....and you can eat the vine trimmings and leaves !! 😊
Thanks for the tips!
First time seeing your channel, my husband and I both found you very informative and funny! I will be watching more now!
Thanks for stopping be the channel we are happy to have you guys.
😊😊
Fantastic harvest. You worked hard. Good job, enjoy your harvest.
We plant a lot of acres of sweet potatoes also. My friend yours are looking very good. We plant George jet and Hayman. Jesus Christ is so good to us.
Hey not a bad harvest at all. We are going to harvest ours here in a couple weeks. We planted the Japanese purple ones this year. Always nice to see yawl, God Bless. Mike & Rochelle
Wow some beautiful sweet potatoes. Good amount. Great job
I love watching potato harvesting videos I don’t know what it is I just love these videos
Thanks for watching.
Wow!! Thank you brotha you jus inspired me to add sweet potatoes to my small garden that i am starting... Thank You!!
You can stir fry the leaves with garlic and onions! Many cultures grow sweet potatoes just for this purpose.
Yeah, sautéed sweet potato leaves, are very tasty. I like mine with peppers and onions
Definitely still a good harvest! God has blessed you (and blessed a couple of voles too)!
You are right! Definitely thankful for a good harvest. We were able to harvest more this year than the last
I love watching sweet potato harvest! It’s a treasure hunt! Thanks for sharing!
I love your camera ladies laugh!!
A nice harvest of sweet potatoes
Homesteader...... them sweet potatoes are absolutely awesome!!!!!
We didn't plant this year because it was our seventh year planting in one location ,we also had a high rats population problem and moles we used a product call Killer rats seed and Ace Hardware , next we are gonna smoke them out but we have seen several rats and more died all of the moles are gone but if you have dogs or cats I don't think this product is safe for them to be around. Great harvest, great video keep them coming!💯👍🏿
Legend! Thanks for sharing this amazing content. 🙏❤️🌎🌞 What State is the homestead located?
I am located in GA.
What a beautiful harvest.
Hello from London. We`ve got sweet potatoes here, mostly imported from the US . I and my family eat them 2 times a week cooked in different forms. They`re delicious and nutritious. It was a pleasure to watch. Best regards and best of luck to you. ❤
If you can, you can always use one to sprout some slips to plant your own. Have you given that a try?
Just ran into this channel, looks interesting
Those sweeties look yummy , makes me wish i'd planted a few this year.
Great job Sir
Nice to meet you I’m new I love planting
Peace and blessings. Blessed harvest!
It’s so cool when you get a great harvest. ❤
I know the rodents ate some but still…beautiful produce.
That is a nice looking potate. It reminds me of when i pulled my nicest beet this year 😊
There is not a more proud moment than pulling up root veggies. You have no idea the size until harvest time when you dig and uncover your treasure. That's makes the surprise that you pull up even more special.
Digging up a sweet potato patch is a real chore, even more so when there has been rodent damage! Still, that's a pretty good harvest!
We boil them depends on the size then peel and slice then boil one can of coco nut juice in a sauce pan on low heat once it start boiling add a 2 tbs sugar then pour on the slice sweet potato, yummy.
The young leaves are delish if you'll try. Sauteed in garlic, onion and fair amount of salt. Your lunch is sloved.
Watching him dig into the ground I begin to think was he really ocd or just saving his time and back. He definitely thought outside the box. His space was not as large. 😁👍👍👍 I loved this..
Awesome video! Love your channel and had to subscribe. Thank you for the wonderful content. ❤
I am so happy to see you harvest so much this year. Last year hurt me to watch you!! That soil was so tough!! I love seeing your success.
Thanks for watching. This year is great success. Praise be to Most High God.
I'm in GA too, previously TX, we moved a lot. I tried the tire planting, I don't feel comfortable about planting in those, maybe for flowers? Trees? That garden is awesome though. The mounds look like their a bit sandy soil? I'm trying my hardest to get these things going here. so far, not much at all, close to nothing. Husband will once in a while bring me a pea pod. lol I just keep saying, maybe next year. It's a lot of hard work for sure, well worth it though. Keep up the good work.
Amazing! Peace and blessing to you and your family.
Thank for watching. Peace and blessing to you as well.
Dude, your enthusiam is way sic... and sweet potatoes will always volunteer again next year
My sweet potatoes are peeking not bulging. I look forward to working in the ground again. You always get me excited and fill me with hope for another season. You are a big part of what got me to grow again this year. I am glad I did. Even with limited resources, I produced more this year than the last few combined. My neighbors would thank you if they could. 😁 If you catch him, he's compost. 😄 You got some massive potatoes this year. Its amazing seeing so many potatoes together as one. Great growing! 🙌
I'm thinking you need a farm cat. My local SPCA has a working animal program. You should see if yours does too. A farm cat or rat terrier may be your solution for next year. When you planted, you'd said you expected to be feeding you and them. You still got a good harvest despite that rodent.
I am happy to hear that you garden did good this year. Keep an growing. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful 😍 I hope they are organic. Blessings to you all.
Just burying my dad this year and my birthday in a few days what a gift to see this . 🙏 Thanks
So a farmer told me the only way to get ride of the vowls it to get ride of the grubs in the ground. We had to treat our two acres to help for 2023
Awesome pull. I remember being a child watching my dad get his harvest it was so exciting. I loved watching him make steak potato fried. I also remember watching him use many different things to stay one step ahead of anything that would be at him to his harvest or weaken it. He once used window screen under planted on top, then enveloped it in so no thing could eat upon it. Ok so he was a little ocd
Great videos! Do you sell seeds?
Wow, nice size sweet potatoes
it's cool
we love your farm! sweets potatoes is mom's favorite.
Great harvest family....just watched homestead heart and they were having similar problems I gotta get my sweet potatoes harvested out of container
Time to get some cats for the homestead!!
Good looking harvest! That soil looks good.
THE GREENS ARE GOOD EATING
Amazing harvest!
That really give me hope looking at this video because I planted so slips as they were growing something came and eat them all i know because they left only half eaten sweet potatoes 🥔 😪
Looks way better than mine.
Awesome harvest! Congrats! I need to get out and harvest some soon😃
You have to set up rats traps in your garden before sweet patatoes get mature to avoid lots of lost.
Great video as usual. Questions please: If I leave some sweet potatoes in the ground under mulch will they return in the spring?
You can also make sweet potato punch.
Yes please, the drip irrigation with links of where you get your supplies. Thank you.
you have to put a flat metal bottom in the bottom of the tire so the rodents can not get in from the bottom
We also eat the leaves from the sweet potatoes.
I want to retire now and do this. This so freaking medicinal!
Do it friend! What's stopping you?
@@humbleservantshomestead7974 I will, but as an immigrant in a foreign land, I just have to run out the clock. Retirement is only 13 years away. Here in Canada, we rent little plots of land from city in the summertime for a kitchen garden but would like to be doing what you are doing all year round. Being from the Caribbean, I have the background and some know-how and looking forward to the day when I can do it day in and day out. Thanks for your awesome content. I feel your passion.
Beautiful sweet potatoes and thank you for sharing with us God bless
Liked and subscribed 👍enjoy the video and the commenting 🌺Aloha 🤙and melee kaliki maka 🎅
Laaa e laaha ill lal law ( there's no God but the God) blessing for you
you should try using the potatoes to make potato pudding
My mom made some two weeks ago.
Oh, I had a friend from Africa, who cooks And love to eat the leaves. Actually, they were sold at a market! When I told her what I’d seen, she got so excited and rushed immediately to the market and bought some! It’s like greens, maybe mustard greens, etc. well, they’re green! Look what is thrown away or fed to animals but it’s also highly prized as food to some folk.
For me being Taiwanese in California I saw this Asian market they have sweet Potatoes leafs for $3.00 USD a pound.
My Ma loves it the greens by father is still getting over the idea of eating pig feed Lmao.
@@susiesanchez3811 and just to think, so many people just throw them away not realizing how nutritious they are. $3 a pound, wow
To me it's a smoother taste like spinach, mustard, collard has a bitter harsher taste. i really didn't care about the potatoes, i was just focus on the greens ...
Very nutritous the leaves of sweet potato..here in the philippins very expensive
Hi how are your doing today how did your get the sweet potatoes so big what kind of fertilizer did your use
Do know can eat the leaves.
🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿
gtreat video... may i ask how long idid u wait to harvest
you got twice as many off one plant then I've ever seen?
For " rodents" take a 3 inch thinwall gutter pipe , drain pipe, get 2 4 foot sections, put a tee in the middle, with a short pipe 1-2 feet and install and cap it, remove cap and add rodent poison, mice, rats, gophers like the tunnel house, pets, birds can't access the poison, put it on edges of you garden, orchard or problem areas, they can't resist the tube and feed station. Good luck.
How do you store them?
Loving the harvest 💖😍👍 thanks for sharing 🙏
This is a well done job. How can we get this plant to gro in our land iam in narok kenya
You can also cut what the rodents ate and make chips.
Do you cook the potatoe 🍠greens?
How menny. Month to grow when to plant please
I need Scotch seeds. PM me please
👍👍👍👍👍😍🇲🇾
bula vinaka eViti na yacana na kumala
Get a couple of Jack Russells terrier to deal with your rodent problems.
Do not harvest until sweet potatoe vines die
@@angelasherlin5277 that's not exactly true for all varieties. Its best to keep up when planting dates and dig them up when directed by instructions that come with either the slips or recommended by variety information. Not all sweet potatoes are ready at the same amount of time. Peace and blessings
In Liberia 🇱🇷 "potatoe greens " are a delicacy. Very good with fried fish.
Those vines make great nitrogen for the compost pile btw! I just use my machete to chop them up smaller
The simple pleasure of harvesting crops is hard to beat.
Another channel said the vines make good feed for animals, like sweet potato vine hay. So, if you have someone nearby, they might appreciate the contribution to their animals, good when turn black. Also the tender top leaves are good in a salad, completely edible. Subscribed. Beautiful harvest!
Thanks for watching. We have goats here on the homestead and they absolutely love sweet potato slips.
Beautiful harvest!! Cows love them also!! We have a momma cow that got out and ate ours 3 times this year. One day my husband came home and I had no idea she was out. She was just standing and munching till her heart was content. LoL
wanta hear something silly? i'm real proud of ya, you can tell you worked real hard and you're trying real hard to provide for your family. i been gardening over 40 years, and every year i learn something new. you got a lot of sweet potatoes, congrats.
New to your channel. You are very charismatic and the woman behind the camera has an infectious laugh! Great video!
Sorry about the invasion but none a the less great harvest and you are so grateful peace and blessings
We've learned that sharing with nature is to be expected. Especially when you are growing food naturally without harsh chemicals. Just glad to be able to harvest some food for us as well after nature has had its share. Peace and blessings family
Still a great harvest y’all! I love pulling leaves and seeing those yellow gold sweet potatoes. Please show how to place drip irrigation. 😊
Just like unwrapping gifts! We will definitely show you all the drip irrigation process!
Great video. I don’t know where you are, but we are in Charleston SC and will be harvesting our sweet potatoes tomorrow.
New here. What a humble and happy couple! I love this channel already. You guys are so grateful for what The Lord blessed you with, and it shows. I really enjoyed that part!
Yeah me too I'm new here I really really enjoy watching y'all harvest your sweet potatoes. I wish you would have let us watch you pull up the sweet potato vines I just think it's soothing watching people grow what they're going to eat it's amazing it reminds me of me and my mom and my neighbor we used to have a battle of the gardens. He was from Antigua and of course he always won
Thanks for stop by we are happy to have you.
@@lisa196409 Carribeans are very competitive, lol. Sounds like you enjoy gardening
Nice
So many of them because of your banquet. Fertility based on supply. Different country, what catches them. Would a bucket trap with food and a ramp in get them, like mice.
Beautiful potato harvest.
had the same issues with rodents this year, But they did save us a few. 😊... One love My brother. 🍠
Please don't brake your back.you and your family are amazing. Thanks 🙌
You know you can cook up those small ones all at once and keep them in the fridge, and put a couple of spoon fulls in Biscuits or pancakes and bread. It really does help stretch them and it tastes good too.
Try this to scare away moles or voles. Get juicy fruit gum keep the sticks in there foil but rip each piece in half burry the piece with the wrap on it. It will take care of your problem! Bury it near where you see there holes.
Where is this?
Your soil is very rich.
What's the difference between sweet potato and yams ?

Peace blessings to yall as well 🙏🏿 ✨️
I love watching y'all harvesting videos...I'm definitely living vicariously through y'all...how long were these underground before y'all harvested?
Hey family! These were in the ground for about 120 days before we harvested them
@@humbleservantshomestead7974 thank you!
Hi. Guys. That soil looks great and healthy. I love your land beautiful sweet potatoes. GOD bless your work. Thanks for the video.
I feel like you can still use the ones the "pests" nibbled on...cut off the end that was eaten far enough into tater to feel comfortable, peal, boil and add brown sugar and apple pie spices and little bit of butter.....wonderful candied yams...........also any that you accidently scratch can be used the same way.........
that soil is amazing! TX got nothing but rock and clay
