My grandfather was from Belgium and I remember him planting potatoes. He did not dig them up until the leaves started drying up and turning brown. All his potatoes were much bigger then see on here
Keep him straight Michele😁. Totally agree about the vehicles; we drive them until the tires fall off and have Never had a brand new one👍🏻. Great potato harvest!
You can Save green leafs in jar with water for next year i had seadlings from sweet potato in my aquarium for over a 9th months and when they were to long I just cut it and stick in new place from two potato I had ower 40 seadlings and they still grown I transfer potato to small box with soil (a pinch) and I add from time to time bit of aquarium fertilizer just small amount to shot new green it work if i had a land I could probably rich 60 or 80 plants from two potato and i saw on TH-cam that in warmer climat they cut green stick bunch of them(after they remove tubers) in soil and it is going again it was Wow 2 Times a year :-) and soup is quite good with leafs👍
Love when you and Justin guest star on each other's videos. Looks like a great sweet potato harvest. Good work, Billy and Michelle. Neighbors helping neighbors. We're going to needs a lot of that. Keep up the good work, y'all.
I got my book from Deep South's Etsy store about 2 weeks ago so I can learn how to do sweet potatoes. We have old vehicles too. His 1999 Ford 250 is still on the road...we have repairs, but no payments. The pigs are just too cute.🐷 lol...you both won...great harvest.
I just have no faith in or patience for post 70 's vehicles - the more electronic gizmos they have the more worthless and over my head they are - ' KISS ' Keep It Simple Stupid
Beauregard is what I plant here in the Savannah Ga area …they are amazing two years in a row three pound potatoes mixed in with the average sizes in fact doing one as a slip performer with about fifteen slips going on they give give give …thanks for sharing as always..stay blessed
Thanks you two! Loved the back and forth competition. I planted a very small tow of white yams. Going to dig them in about a week. I can relate as far as keeping an older vehicle around. No payments and insurance low.
Been trying to get Sweets to grow here in the NW! Ordered slips....arrived dried up/ dead! grew my own slips....had a super wet summer! trying again, of course!
That was a great harvest, y’all! I would say both planting methods were a great success! I was as excited by how fantastic that soil looks in that one bed as I was seeing how many sweet potatoes you were getting! I wonder if for some reason the worms were attracted by the rats being in there? I’m just fascinated it was the same bed they had been in. I have seen other folks cut the vines and plant them elsewhere before too. David The Good, another TH-camr, uses them to fill in spaces all over his garden. He does a lot of chop and drop compost as well. I hope y’all can get the cars up and going soon. My mom always says the only thing worse than car trouble is sick kids and she is right! Thanks for the great video, nice to see all y’all in one again!
Glad to see that you are multi tasking, feeding your animals while demonstrating your new homestead ghillie suit; will that be another enterprise that you are stacking.... I almost lost sight of you. LOL Great video as always, God Bless from WYO.
Just saw you over at DSH with Danny and Wanda. The conversation with Wanda was lovely. You have another new subscriber. Hope you saved some sweet potatoes for Cocoa!
All our vehicles are paid for as well, I have a Honda minivan even though our kids are grown. I just love that it seats a lot of people and my dogs love going for rides too. I have an 85lb black ticked short-haired pointer who loves hanging out of the sunroof and gives people smiles 😁. You guys had an awesome sweet potato harvest! My favorite sweet potato has red skins and white flesh, I don’t know the name of them but they are so sweet and delish! Btdubs I watched all the ads 😉
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 I don’t…I picked some up at a small organic grocery store and made scalloped potatoes with them and they were good enough to slap my momma, lol 😂
that the world may know, i watched the planting process of the sweet potatoes and your little twig did little work and the broom stick handle whipped you like a 2 year old at wal mart. you did great michelle and poor old billy took last place. love you guys. keep up the good work.

Nice harvest there ! ! ! I'm wondering if the pigs can be trained to eat the tops and root up the sweet potatoes. I do much the same with vehicles here.Drive em until the wheels fall off,and pay a local mechanic to put those wheels back on.Part of Permaculture is supporting local economies ,after all.Billy,let Michele think she won.Thanks for sharing all this ! ! !
Nice sweet potatoe harvest! Keep some fresh for Thanksgiving! I don't have where to store them but they do pretty well for me in the house since I don't heat it up pass 72-74 during the winter and and if it sprouts later on I put them in the ground in the spring.
Great harvest guys! So enjoyed this one, laughed pretty much all the way through it and then throw Justin the mix I mean how does it get any better. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing y’all’s knowledge, and we are with y’all on the vehicles gonna drive em till they can’t be driven anymore lol 😂 GOD BLESS YOU GUYS! 👍🏻🙌🏻
Enjoy watching your videos. Although I play in our small garden my specialty is automotive electrical and hvac repairs. Be glad to help if you need some guidance fixing your vehicles.
I'm a city dweller, or should I suburbanite. This life looks so fulfilling but I question my abilities in general and whether I could see the animals as food vs pets. I enjoy your videos
It can be very difficult, but its do-able. Please at least grow some veggies in greenstalks if possible. Bad things are coming to our world. In Christ, be prepared.
We planted eight sweet potato slips six feet apart and pulled them for a total harvest of 123 lbs. We make our soil from wood chips, composted cow manure and garden soil. No pigs.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 My wife and I get a kick out of the central tubers appearing to look like an elephant heart. Huge but just as edible, not fibrous or tough.

Lack of cat problem? Well, there is a breed of dog, in the terrier family, that has been bred to hunt and kill rats. You have Milk Boi for a specific purpose. Consider the terrier option.
So this may seem like a really stupid question, I’m hoping to grow sweet potatoes for the first time next year, but where do you get your sweet potatoes from? Will any organic potato bought from the store, work??
Whats the perma pasture solution for hawks? we lost 4 birds to a devastating hawk attack yesterday. my chicks were free ranging, but now i have them penned up. Any suggestions?
Any kind of overhead barrier will work, could use string at two foot intervals with some kind of shiny dangling. Predator birds are very wary of getting entangled.
I have a Great Pyrenees and he won't let any birds swoop low enough to catch our chickens. We also always have a few roosters running with the hens because they watch the sky.
I think I’ve tried all of those methods… Sometimes all at once. The only thing that has been absolutely full proof for us has been using the livestock guardian dog.
Hello I am a Newbie to your channel- what type of Pigs are they please ? I have grown Sweet Potatoes may different ways & had great success but just recently not doing so well, I currently have a bed in so we will see. Cheers Denise- Australia
The critters are always eager to share the harvest, but at least they’re acting on beastial need, not (like too many people) beastial greed. Your critters are at least appreciative of what you provide, and I enjoy watching them come running to check out what y’all have brought them this time.
Talking about Vehicles.....l got ready to mow my yard and my riding mower die. So I decided to get on my tractor. I started it up and drove it 30 foot and it died. Now I'm getting upset. So I went to get my UTV to get some dirt and it wouldn't start. Now I'm really 😡. My backhoe went about 100 feet and it died...l QUIT!!!!

It can be very difficult, but its do-able. Please at least grow some veggies in greenstalks if possible. Bad things are coming to our world. In Christ, be prepared.
You can definitely outsource the parts of homesteading that you don’t like. We certainly do.
When you are walking with the sweet potato vines it looks like you're wearing a ghilli suit. Those black pigs are huge. Got to be close to 300 lbs.
I can’t help but think of the tactical implications of what you observed…
Looks like you guys need to get a plastic kids snow sled that you can load all that stuff on and drag down to the pig pen and throw it over

Is there a specific age when harvesting the sweet potato? The only thing I know is that it can be harvested when its flowers starts to wither.
