    I harvested several dozen kilos of O'Henry sweet potatoes last year, ate a portion of them, then let the rest sit for months. They all grew slips . . . which I've replanted into the garden this year. Also found out which potatoes I missed harvesting last year, but they've also sprouted.

    I dug all my potatoes out yesterday from a raised bed feed trough and planted sweet potatoes in there and I already have a row that were planted about 6 weeks ago. I love sweet potatoes! They have to be my favorite thing to grow! All my slips were grown from two sweet potatoes and I have a bunch still growing or in water waiting to be planted. 😊

    Starches in the sweet potato convert to sugars. Sugars and starches are both carbohydrates (aka, carbs).

    Sweet potatoes are good any way you prepare them. My son loves them fried but I like them any way you want to fix them, roasted, fried, casserole or pie. They are very good for you too.

    I planted sweet potatoes in the ground first time this year and came back and hilled them with Black Cow and Black Velvet mushroom compost since I didn't have dirt to steel from the sides, and it was really cheap at Lowe's. Last year I planted them in straw bales. I checked them at a little over 100 days. Around the top they were still a little small so I thought I'd leave them to 120. Down deep where you plant them before you hill are the potatoes going to get too big. Stands to reason to me that since those roots were in the ground a good 2 or 3 weeks longer than up in the hill, they might. Only my second year ever planting sweet taters. Thanks.

    1st real go at S.P.s, last yr just tossed few in the ground way late and grew like crazy until it cooled off a little.
    Still bit late maybe but we have long grow season (farther N. Commifornia low-inland, 9a) created slips from several organic store taters. Up to 108F recently, slips suffer a tad *in the pot* but not in the ground so far.

    For newbies, you can also buy a potato in about 4 inches of dirt in a raised bed or container and pull the plant off the potato when it get about 9 inches tall.

    I need some advice please. I planted store bought purple sweet potatoes, last fall. The vines froze back to the soil when we had a frost in December. (I'm in central Florida). They grew back starting in February and are still growing like crazy. I'm calculating 148 days, but the vines are not declining. Should I harvest or wait until the fall or our first frost? Thanks for your help.

      Dig a couple and see how they look. In the future, do a little different. Harvest the slips from the potatoes and plant those and change up your planting time.

      You will need to wait till first of August for a fall crop. But ensure to sow the variety that can be harvested before the first hard frost, as they are susceptible to it

    Beauregard is the oldest avaliable commercial cultivar like 1975 ish. And it is the best it is resistant to everything has the shortest growing cycle and is the sweetest potato. It is the sweet potato that is basically the sweet potato, everyone knows it.

    I bought my Georgia Jets from Hoss and they are all getting going with some 20-20-20 to help them out. I'm curious, what is the best way to preserve some so I could get some slips for the next planting season. Will sweet potatoes stored indoors make it to the spring to generate new slips? I'm in a northern climate, so no chance of leaving some in the ground or overwintering anything.

    Can u grow sweet potato from planting the sweet potato? If not why?

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  Рік тому +2

      Unlike regular potatoes, you can't just plant a whole sweet potato in the ground and expect a crop; it will rot underground. Sweet potatoes are grown from sweet potato slips. Slips are the stems and foliage that sprout from already grown sweet potatoes. You need the roots from the slips to produce the sweet potato.
