Impressive! I grew sweet potatoes this year, just 3 plants because I was a newbee to them. I also got a HUGE harvest. I planted them near the fence and just let them climb all over. I did find some "surprise" bonus potatoes in other places, as the plant did send out runners. I felt like a kid at Christmas when I dug them. Such a rewarding and nutritious crop. Agree that consistent watering did help.
It is like opening gifts

@Gary
I am so jelli of all the sweet potatoes. I Love sweet pots. My slips didn't root this year and I could not find any slips to buy... That is amazing, so cool... Great job
Try to buy your sweet potatoes from organic market. Put sweet potato in water half way. You will get sweet potato slips. Sweet potato from some markets are sprayed. Wont grow slips...
WAY TO GOOOO!!!!!! Awesome! We're getting our first frost tonight and I was outside grabbing my sweet potatoes today! Definately going to keep the vines from touching the ground next year!!!! Thank you so much!

My sweet potatoes should be ready at the end of November. I did keep them consistently watered, but I did not add bone meal. This was my first year planting....fingers crossed!
Did you plant slips or seed potatoes? I will be trying sweet potatoes for the first time next spring. Was trying to find someone who has planted the purple variety and where they purchased them.
Virginian I planted the slips, of an unknown variety. A neighbor gave them to me, so the results will be a surprise!
Wow that's so beautiful

Nice Gary. I would be happy with that. My sweet potatoes were a complete bust this year. I'm going do a small planting next year in a spot with more sun and much looser soil. See if I can dial in this crop. ...and trellise the vines better.

Great harvest. I'm going to place very well composted wood chips in the bottom half of my raised beds for sweet potatoes. Conventional gardening/ potting soil the rest of the way and the added fertilizer and I believe you said bone meal. And I'm thinking cattle panels for the vines. Your harvest has been the best I have seen. Already looking forward to next year. 😃👍🍠🍠🍠

Awesome harvest. Mines got ate on by wire worms and grubs dint know when they got into my bed which is about waist high. I went through and tried to get them all out but can't wait to see what you do to the bed to set it up for the winter because I havent done anything to mines yet
A previous bed got wire worms. I did a neem oil drench and it seemed to help. Like 4 tablespoons of neem in a gallon of water and soap. I soaked that bed heavily. I don't have a video as it was an experiment on drenches.

Nice harvest! I put out about 40 plants. I had similar results. Total harvest was 132# several tubers over 3# most plants produced 10 to 12 tubers grown in a new no-till garden with leaf compost and wood mulch paths 8 inches deep. Last year we grew twice as many plants and harvested about 180# The key is the high phosphorus fertilizer. Our Red Norlands and Kenibec potatoes were exceptional this year also. The Red Norlands grew to an unbelievable height of 42" and the tubers largest I've ever grown. 120 ft row produced 320# of potatoes. We canned over 120 quarts and still have 100# in storage. My wife started canning sweet potatoes this week and so far added 48 quarts to our pantry. Only half way done. It was a great year for potatoes and the garden. Loving the no-till and raised beds. Our pantry is overflowing. We are truly blessed 🥰
We still have half of the sweet potatoes we harvested last year.
Fresh and canned! It's very exciting when you start digging up 3 and 4 pound sweet potatoes!
Thanks Gary nice video great harvest.
That really tall green growth. And great production! True phosphorous boost does wonders for sweet potatoes and potatoes.

An informative and FUN video! We had our first successful, Big harvest of some huge sweet potatoes, this year!! Lots of "Wow!!" was going on. Haha! I'm a bit confused, though. The organic farm I bought the slips from, as well as other places, said to water them well for the first few weeks, then leave them be, afterward. They "don't like too much water". But, yours look beautiful! Gardening can be so confusing sometimes! 😋
Nice harvest! So watering is always confusing. All I can say is this year I spent more time ensuring the soil stayed moist, not soaked and puddling, and so many more crops did better. The issue becomes places that dont get a lot of rain, weeks of hot sun, etc. If you let container SP dry out, they will suffer. If you let ground planted crops dry for prolonged periods, youll still get SP but not as many IMO.

Nice harvest! I've been told that you actually want the medium size sweet potatoes since if they get too large they can become fiberous. Also, I've read that you might want to lay them on the soil for several hours immediately after harvesting so that the skin can dry out and toughen up otherwise it can bruise or tear easily.
Did you notice anything like that?
I have grown some really large ones and they were fantastic.
Thanks. They are laying out for several days. They were probably ready 30 days ago but I wanted to use first frost. Hopefully not too woody.

I'll be interested to see what Gary finds with regards to the large ones also. If I'm buying them in the store I always buy the medium sized ones because I've found the large ones are fibrous. This has gotten me excited to try growing them next year (I'm giving up on squash so I need to have something to take it's place 🤣 ).
Good harvest!! I’m not sure which I enjoyed more, seeing the harvest or your glee with the harvest! 😊 🍠
Can’t wait for the next video. I would love to see the ways you and your wife use these. It seems to me gardeners have many more ways to use their harvests then chefs or just vlogers. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. your video on preparing tomato beds for next year you mentioned wood ash for phosphorous - would that work equally as well as the bone meal? Thanks again.
Wood ash has some but bone meal has a lot more. Bone meal is better.

Gary that was real cool harvest I grew orange sweet potatoes 🍠, they were small in a 8 gallon cloth pot, they were not big but I guess the watering and the fertilization is key , next year I expect to do better, quick question, raised beds, should I cover them for the winter to avoid the snow and ice ?? Amend the soil before I do so??!!
You can just put amendments on top and let them go. They are fine with the water. I cover some if I use stuff I don't want to blow away but its not a must

Can you tell us how did you water them? like drip irrigation or using hose for how long and how many times per week.
Nice harvest. How big would you say that container is in gallons? I planted mine in a 30 gallon bag this year, but I might try putting them in the 100 gallon bag with more slips next year. I was trimming the younger leaves for my boyfriend's mom- she loves eating them.
How many pounds did you end up with, that is stunning! You may have just convinced me to try growing sweet potatoes next year! Thank you!
Next year I am going to way and do some different videos but I don't know what these ways. Easily 50-75 pounds

Do sweet potatoes/ yams need to be cured? I live in a suburb north of Los Angeles and planted a few eyes from market yams many months ago. Now the shallow raised bed is filled with with the pretty vines. I am wondering if the vines will die back since we only get frost a few times in winter. I listen to CaliKim when I can but haven’t checked for this topic.
They get sweeter over a couple weeks and store better but you can eat them right away.

What about curing them?
Ill be doing a video but if it wasn't going to frost again, 3 or 4 days outside if there is no rain. And another 7-10 days indoors. There are some technical ways but who has an 85 degree spot with 90% humidity in there house or outside some November.

WOW !!! They say Yams are Sweet Potatoes is that true ? If they are how do you buy the seed ?
They are similar and sometimes used to refer the same. I think there is technical difference though. You grow slips to plant. They videos are linked for that

These kind of vegetables are actually sweet potatoes. The yellow variety are also sweet potatoes. I grew up in Texas calling the yellow ones sweet potatoes and the orange ones yams, but yams are actually another tropical root that are completely different. Confusing, I know!
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Do I get Yam slips ? What did you plant they look like Yams ?
Will this work for potatoes?
The soil set up will. The harvest is different

How do you cure yours?
Ill be doing a video but if it wasn't going to frost again, 3 or 4 days outside if there is no rain. And another 7-10 days indoors. There are some technical ways but who has an 85 degree spot with 90% humidity in there house or outside some November.

💥 HOW DO YOU CURE THEM?💥 i live in Ohio and just harvested my first batch and idk how to cure them! Please help!
So there is a lot of info like 85 degrees at 90 % humidity for 7 days and then let set is cool place for 4 weeks. I don't know who is able to do that. So its true they sweeten over a month of sitting. But I eat them now and let the excess sit in my house or garage. I do like them to sit outside for 4 or 5 days in the sun first before moving them in doors

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you!
Mine got root bound in the pot. It caused them to be “conjoined.”
Yeah this was pretty loose soil and yet they still twisted in some places

5 months? Hmmm... Everything I have read and experienced for days to harvest is 90 to 120 days.
That is the right range. More time seems to lead to bigger production.
