Mr Humble servant your experience taught many lives I am not a farmer just an ordinary individual that buy many seeds for the family garden your farm will go down in history
Your unabashed enthusiasm needs to be celebrated; too few people unabashedly go "wow, I grew this"... and LOL, your director knew exactly where you needed to move the next pile too... hehehe
Sweet potatoes were not only my biggest harvest but where I learned the most this year. 6 slips started just to see how they grew. Heard you could cut the vines, get them to root, then plant for more. Decided to just try burying the vines at the junctions instead of cutting/rooting. Doing so turned those 6 slips into so many sweet potatoes that even after giving away half I should have sweet potatoes for several more months.
Sounds like you have a great game plan for planting your sweet potatoes this year as well. We love hearing success stories and this certainly is one of them. May your garden produce 3 times as much this year! Peace and blessings family
@Humble Servants Homestead thank you sir. Hopefully the sweet potatoes aren't 3x as productive though as I'm not sure my back and knees could handle pulling that many.
Michael is a very good boy. Nothing wrong with that harvest. We the drought here in Texas last year most everything did not make it. Looking forward to seeing ho you plant next year. God Bless your family, Mike
Yes he really is a good boy! We were thankful for these potatoes because the drought was a rough one for sure even here for us. Hoping to get even more slips in the ground which prayerfully will equal more potatoes. Blessing to you and your family Mike
Awesome! We will be starting our scotch bonnet and chocolate bonnet peppers seeds this week! We want to get the biggest jump start that we can on the growing season!
Shalawam Ahch. APTTMHA! How do they taste compared to the common sweet potatoes grown in Ga? Many blessing to you and your family and thawadda for sharing another edifying video.
These Korean are sweeter and with less water content so they do not get messy as quickly when you boil them. Great for soups and stews but we haven't tried them in a pie. Blessings family
@humbleservantshomestead7974 Kenyan Bean Stew - I make it the quick way with canned red kidney beans, veggie stock, corn, tomatoes (had cherry tomatoes in the freezer), spices, white potatoes or sweet potatoes or chunks of winter squash, and throw in some greens (any kind you like).
That's given me an idea: as I'm vegan, why not make vegan parmesan sweet potato leaf soup instead of the regular parmesan broccoli soup? I can't wait to try it!
I grow sweet potatoes every year for the past 10 years and the harvest is never worth the effort but the sight of the vines sure make up for the lack of edible tubers. I will grow them again this year with hopes of just one decent tuber.
Are you adding too much nitrogen maybe? That could be cause for lots of vines and no tubers. Nitrogen will cause foliage above and not much beneath. This is your year for a great potato harvest.
@@humbleservantshomestead7974 Now that you have mentioned it, I just might be. I will reduce both composted manure and Fish, blood and bone meals. Thanks for the hint.
Many years ago when I knew nothing about plants or growing anything, we threw a sweet potato outside that had gone bad in the pantry. Months later when it finally cooled down enough to do lawn chores, we began pulling up what we thought were weeds. We got enough sweet potatoes from those "weeds" to take with us across the country to our family Thanksgiving. If I actually tried to grow them now, I probably wouldn't succeed because I love spoiling my plants with fertilizer, nutrients, and excessive attention, lol.
Have you applied any additional watering to grow them? I always plant them in the flat ground, it's more difficult to harvest, because I need to dig and that makes a problem - my soil is similar to yours - when dry it's very firm and difficult to dig. From other side, I don't need so much watering, I afraid raised soil is difficult to water, what is your experience?
@@johngordon9140 the raised soil method for us is better because it doesn't hold moisture and allows for the excess to drain away. It you check out our video from last year, you'll see the problem we ran into planting on level ground. We typically water them early on in the planting season if needed. If we're in a drought type situation. If we get rainfall regularly then we skip watering.
@humbleservantshomestead7974 Well, in my location summer is usually dry with no rainfall, I rather want to hold soil moisture, and I'm not sure raised soil won't get dry to quickly and how to water it effectively without any specific watering line
All good gifts around us , are sent from heaven above. So thank the Lord for all His love.

Love your videos. Looking forward to growing the pepper & calaloo seeds I bought from you as a Christmas present to myself!
Awesome! We will be starting our scotch bonnet and chocolate bonnet peppers seeds this week! We want to get the biggest jump start that we can on the growing season!
@@humbleservantshomestead7974 thanks for the heads up! I will go ahead & start my scotch bonnets in a few “greenhouse” milk jugs, too.

I had a couple bags of sweet potato greens put up in the freezer. Nice to add them to soups. ❤️ You won't find those in a store! 👍🏼😊
And those greens are so nutritious! What's your favorite soup to add them to?

Lol, wondered what that noise was. My sister had goats, didn’t ever hear that. I guess they didn’t have goodies to fight over.
M J a handsome fellow..

Please how long it take to grow sweet potatoes thank
Anywhere from 90 days to 120 days some varieties you can live in for 150days.
Love yourz videos I can hear you clearly but we can't hear anything that that the humble servant is saying but just barely can hear it
