      I was thinking of you this evening. That since you don't have arable land to plant as you would like. You could look at the Ruth Stout method if you want to plant potatoes. I'm not sure if it works for sweet potatoes.

    Amen! Thank you for sharing another harvest video! We are eagerly awaiting harvest time for our sweet potatoes. It's getting close! I'm tempted to test out a couple of our grow bags, which have been growing about 40-50 days longer than our bed has. The leaves are starting to become paler, which seems like a good sign!
    I would love to get some of those Japanese and Korean sweet potatoes for next year. They are so beautiful! We are currently growing Okinawans, some hawaiian purples, and slips from a red/orange one that we got from Costco, maybe Garnet variety? I saw one of the Garnets poking up out of the soil in the bed a couple mornings ago, so that's encouraging! We are up in Oregon, so it's a little more challenging with our shorter warm season. I've been experimenting this year with covering the main bed with a fabric row cover/greenhouse plastic tunnel to hold some extra warmth near the bed during the day, and I think it's paying off!

      @@joshuahoyer1279 Sounds good to me. I hope you have an abundant harvest. I got the Korean from which I grew slips from Food Depot. They spray their stuff with inhibitors so I had to search long and hard for it. Don't be fooled by sweet potatoes in Whole Foods. They are sprayed too. Anyway, the two Hannah I bought thinking organic thinking that they must sprout. Nope, they rotted.

      ​@@gardentalkjamerican871 that's exactly what happened with my first attempt at getting an Okinawan to produce slips! I went through three potatoes I bought online, only to have them all rot. Thanks be to God, I found someone else in Oregon on Facebook selling the Okinawan and the Hawaiian Purple slips for a very reasonable price. They slips produced pretty well last year, so this year I was able to make slips from my own potatoes, and I could plant a lot more this time. God is good!
