All the way from sunny KZN South Africa.
So glad I came across this video, thank you! This is so useful to me, I'm looking forward to harvesting, curing and getting my next crop in.
Glad you went over harvesting sweet potatoes. This is my first year growing them in Georgia, and luckily we have a long growing season.
Glad I could help!
Thanks. I live in an area which is not conducive to growing Sweet Potatoes. So I grew them in Laundry baskets in my greenhouse this summer. Thanks for the basic info for those of us who are Clueless!
How did they do in the laundry baskets?
I live in an apartment and no green house. Where should I put laundry baskets by my containers?? What size container would they fit in? I'm guessing larger than my kale? Would you use 5 gallon buckets for gardening? Any crop
Great presentation thanks
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video. We live in Michigan zone 6a. I believe we are going to have a good sweet potato harvest. I dug a small hole pulled up three nice sized sweet potatoes, I thought before I go any further, I better see about curing them storing sweet potatoes. Most UA-cam videos people are down south, showing how to cure And harvest. You did an excellent job and good suggestions. I do have a grow tent. I’m in the process of piping heat from our furnace and a pot of water in the grow tent. I am going to try your message and a couple other ideas to see what happens. Thanks again for your videos all the best.
Glad I could help!
Do I save some to grow more slips for next year? This is my first time growing them. I cant wait to see how they do. I live in Imperial MO. Thank you for the video!
Honestly, I have so many other things going on that time of year that I usually just buy my slips. I know how to grow them myself but for me it is just more convenient to buy them.
I live in Minnesota and dont have the 80 and humid in the fall either so i appreciate the info with the bags for curing. But once they are cured do we need to continue in the 50 to 60 degree weather for a period of time before eating the sweet potatoes or is it ok after curing 2 to 3 weeks? I just want to make sure
Thanks for the videos!!!
How often should you water sweet potatoes? I live in TN and it rains a lot so I had a poor harvest (small wrinkled skin and rot). I was watetibg twice, not counting rain.
We have to water about every 5 days during the bulk of the summer here. But we usually go from May to October with very little rain.
I live in TN I water at least 2 times a week but if I see that they are dry finger deep I water. I have been blessed to always get a good harvest but some years I have a lot of bug damage so I never plant them in the same place I rotate them all around the garden and sometimes have to pull them early if I see they're starting to get bug damage. I plant them in May and I've had to pull them a few times in August but I still got nice potatoes if I can wait till October I get really big potatoes and a awesome harvest hope that helps
You said temperature for storing but what do you store them in?
We keep ours in some $5 laundry baskets.
Does pruning vines affect the production of sweet potatoes?
Yes it can reduce your yield. Better to just manage the vines by moving them to areas of your garden where they are out of the way.
Learned that deer love sweet potato vines 😡
They sure do! It can be VERY annoying for sure!
Oh no!
ah yeah to much talking everybody's knows how
