- Harvesting Garnet sweet potatoes plus garden tips (not Beauregard). Watch to the end for how-to make the grow bed. The soil mix by measure: 1/3 peat moss (fluffed), 1/3 coarse vermiculite, 1/3 is a mixture of 4-5 different quality composts and I also add a little complete organic "compost"/fertilizer called Revita Pro which is sea kelp, humate, feather meal, bone meal and sulfate of potash
This is the craziest sweet potato harvesting I have ever seen on youtube so far.
Wow!! I've watched many sweet potatoes harvested. This one is by far the biggest I've ever seen.
It was fun! Feeling blessed. I hope the same for you!
It's like uncovering ancient Egyptian artifacts the way you have to dig around the soil and not break them and just pull them up like regular potatoes. I'm going to try for the 1st time this Spring to plant sweet potatoes in Connecticut.
Yes! It's a blast! Enjoy!
That big bunch had 16 minus the 1 you threw away. That's amazing
This is the best harvest I’ve seen so far
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
One of the most bountiful sweet potato harvest I've seen, thanks for sharing. God bless!
Thank you for watching. God bless you too!
First time gardener. I planted my first bed of sweet potatoes. I got 5 large ones. I was disappointed with the rest. They were small. I guess the soil was not deep enough. I will try again. Zone 10 South Florida
I'm sorry to hear of the small harvest. It could be shallow or hard soil, soil nutrient issues, or trimming the leaves (which make food for the plant to make the sweet potatoes). I hope the rest of your garden was a success!
Sweet potatoe pie with good cup. Community coffee ☕️ 💁🏻♀️
Yes , with community coffee 👍🏻
The most inspiring task I’ve ever seen!!
Holy molly , you are killing it ❤ 🇨🇦
I'm thankful for sure! I appreciate you watching!
It"s a pleasure watching you reaping those sweet potato, how you neatly place them in the barrow, good job.❤💯🙏🙏
I've been watching this repeatedly..
Thanks for watching! Thanks for watching! Thanks for watching!!!! :)
Wow! I am shocked at the size of your sweet potatoes! Fantastic! harvest! I have never seen sweet potatoes this size! congratulations! I started my slips late, and I'm using bags so I will have to see what happens for my harvest here in zone 9a Pacific Northwest. Thanks for sharing and God bless!
I used to live in the Pacific Northwest. I wonder if it gets hot enough to produce large potatoes. Whatever you get, count your blessings!
Great crop! Thanks for sharing your harvest.
Hi Eric! Thank you for watching and posting!
Beautiful harvest thanks for sharing. God be praised
Beauregard, I think.
Amazing harvest. We got about 80 lbs of sweet potatoes harvested this year.
That's a blessing too! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful and bountiful harvest just from a small space or bed,❤
This is just incredible harvest. 💗💗
The cluster of potatoes was beautiful
Yahoo! Great harvest
I really enjoyed your video :) I am about to harvest my first attempt at growing sweet potatoes. I started really late but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. They'll be right around 90 days when I have to harvest them to beat the frost here. I'll have a better go at it next spring though :)
Come back and tell us how it goes! Thank you for watching!
💚💚💚👌🏿👌🏿 beautiful harvest really enjoyed the video
🇨🇦😳Whoa! That’s a lot of sweet spuds eh!!! Very nice!!! I will plant sweet potatoes next year!!!

This is so satisfying to watch!
That was so satisfying to watch. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Awesome Harvest!! Biggest sweet potatoes ever.

Best 🍠 harvest video EVER
Wow super congratulations 🎉 great job 👏
Thank you for watching! I believe God has led me to excellent methods of gardening, and I'm so thankful! I hope your garden is a great success!
Awesome harvest. Huge harvest
Great job.
Thanks for watching!
That is insanely impressive.
It’s a little work since your raised beds are full of planting medium already but you should line the bottom of your raised bed with hardware cloth then add your soil on top of the hardware cloth. This is a guaranteed mole/vole prevention from burrowing up from the bottom.
I just may need to do that. The growing medium is light when dry so it wouldn't be too difficult. Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you very mush for the envermation
If may can I.make a suggestion, use mach wire one quote nic. Holes no the bottom, like that, you have good drainage, an you have to change it as officen.please let me know.
@@LeslieCaza god bless you, there should be more women out there like you. Thank you.
Congratulations!
Wow! Great job! You got that neon green thumb!
Thanks for watching. Neon! 😊
I learned a lot!! We Thank u very much! Great video and so informative!
Thank you for commenting I love getting comments from my viewers. I hope you have a successful harvest! Blessings.
Wow! Congratulations for the bountyful harvest...I enjoyed watching.. I hope I could also have that kind of harvest..
Thank you for watching!
So good. Plenty of sweet potatoes in a vine. Love it. We only have 3-5 in a particular vine
Thank you for watching!
Wow! That's so awesome. I've watched many videos about sweet potatoes but this one is so amazing. Can't believe my eyes. Sweet potatoes is my country's staple food but we never harvested such. You're an amazing 👏 ❤
😊 Educated and blessed. I hope the same for you friend!
Absolutely beautiful harvest...this year was my first year growing sweet potatoes...I have another week or 2 before harvest...how did you fertilize them? And how often did you water yours and fertilize as well? I'm praying I get some🙏🥰
BEAUTIFUL CROP!!! I wonder if you put ground garlic in the soil, will the rodents still come to eat the potatoes. I know when I grew ONIONS nothing touched them, but the gophers in California demolished my cabbage and broccoli. A friend on mines grew beautiful tomatoes and she used garlic in soil to stop the gophers from eating them.. I think most rodents don't like the pungent odor of onions and garlic. Blessings
I love that idea and may try that! Thank you for watching and sharing the idea!
wow beautiful garden sweet potatoes is so cool but my garden is lots of chip munk
That's sad. Thanks for watching!
Wow. What a harvest.
Beautiful harvest! Thanks for sharing the video. God bless you ✝️🙏❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your harvest! It was satisfying to watch you pull up those beautiful sweet potatoes. The irregular shaped potatoes that you mentioned, looked as if a cluster of potatoes fused together. I don't even know if that is possible. Just what it looked like from my view. Thank you for sharing how to build the bed and the soil. I look forward to growing next year. Blessings from Texas!
Thank you for watching. It may have looked like they were fused, but most were normal. The very large ones had a top shape with sort of lobes. I do not know what caused that, maybe fused?
very nice harvest I grew white sweet potato and they did better than my purple ones.byt it's all free food for shelf
Thank you for watching and posting, my fellow sweet potato grower!
Wow amazing
Actually Estela, we were amazed too. I'm not highly trained but certainly highly blessed. Thank you for watching. I hope you have great gardening experiences and success!
Best harvest ever!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! What did you end up doing with all those sweet potatoes? Dehydrate? How do you keep that many sweet potatoes from spoiling after? that was a huge haul congrats!!!
I cured them (TH-cam video on how to make your sweet potatoes sweet th-cam.com/video/q-wUWCisLJ0/w-d-xo.html). Then I wrapped them in packing paper (like newsprint without ink). I've shared some, bring some to fellowship lunches at church, and we eat them! They are still looking mighty fine here in March. I store them in a room that stays about 60 degrees in the winter.
Excellent harvest! Thank you for shooting the digging this time as it was very enjoyable to see. Just when you think the potatoes couldn't get any bigger a monster pops up! You are a good caretaker of your garden. Did you grow your slips from a store bought organic sweet potato?
I grew my own from an organic garnet sweet potato from Whole Foods. I do have a TH-cam on how I did it. Thank you for watching and posting. The large sweet potatoes have been good so far. I cured them differently and it worked well. I have a TH-cam on that as well. God bless you with wisdom, energy, and success in your garden!
@@LeslieCaza sweetpotatoe slips
Can I help you?
First time gardener, growing from a slip of a old sweet potato. Not even sure when I started 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ and it was just a cardboard box I put soil in, the vines are long and full. I'm excited to see if I grew a sweet potato lol
What country are you in? Sweet potatoes take about 100 days so wait patiently. I hope you do well. God bless and teach you!
@@LeslieCaza I'm in Mobile, Al.
@@vickigray3755 Let us know the results!
I will , thank you
Wow amazing? what kinds of variety in sweet potatoes 😮😮😮
Garnet. Yummy
Awesome harvest thanks for sharing 1st time here👍
Welcome Wendy! I'm going to check out your Healthy Living stuff! Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is beautiful harvest, did you saw dust an mulch soil or what, what ever you use it good 👍 some of potatoes 🥔 look like baseball bats, grate job. I realy enjoy watching vedio like this, thank you for sharing. God bless you 🙏 happy gardening.
I did mulch with a thin layer of chopped leaves, mainly to help the plants when first transplanted. Once the leaves grow it makes its own living mulch. Thank you for watching. God bless you too!
oh my god! Those are huge❤
Hello I can see that your soil is very smooth and fluffy can you tell me what you put in there.
You can learn how to do it in this video! th-cam.com/video/X07rq2vl_TU/w-d-xo.html
Wow your sweet potatoes are huge and beautiful beauregard sweet potatoes are really good and sweet. How many slips did you use. What drip system did you use. Great job!!!
Thank you for watching. Actually they are Garnet sweet potatoes. My mistake in the video. Planted about 12 slips. The drip system is no longer available as far as I know. It's a commercial system that I purchased years ago. I like a header hose with lines coming out of that header better than drip hoses because the lines run straight rather than having to curve.
Very nice Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🏿
Thank you for watching!
Wow that was a great crop of sweet potatoes. I’m growing slips for the first time and next planted sweet potatoes before and yours are best Ive seen in a harvest. I just out of Clarksville TN across state line in KY. Trying to learn gardening and grow my own vegetables. 😅 what type of sweet potatoes did you plant here?
Do you mean my soil mixture? I use 1/3 of each of these: peat, coarse vermiculite, and then I blend about 4 different composts and and 1/3 compost blend. I also add a small amount of a complete organic, compost based fertilizer.
With raised beds...if you put down wire mesh before filling with dirt, it will help keep the voles at bay.
Wonderful one of the best harvest ever thank you.What variety of sweet potatoes did you grow?
Try some hardware mesh under your bed to discourage the voles..
Thank you for the advise!
Hey
Congratulations and a wonderful harvest.
What spacing do you use when planting the slips
Huge potatoes!!.. i wonder what fertilizer you use?
Watch my short video on this short youtube video: th-cam.com/video/X07rq2vl_TU/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching!
That's a rate of 67 tons per acre!! Well done!
Well that is really cool! Thanks for doing the math for me! I feel blessed even more!
Cking in from Munford TN!!!! I aint harvested my Sweet Taters yet...
Hello neighbor! Frost is likely coming in the next few weeks so it's getting near time. I hope you have great success!
First time viewer… dang! What do you fertilize with? Just compost?
1/3 of my growing mix is a mixture of different kinds of compost and then I add Revita Pro (a complete organic fertilizer of composted chicken manure, feather meal, humates, etc.)
amazing friend 😘😘🙏
Can you please tell me your soil mixture. I looked so soft and fluffy.
This video will show you exactly what I did. Thank you for watching! th-cam.com/video/X07rq2vl_TU/w-d-xo.html
She explains at 23:17
O i think I know how you did it. Next spring on good Friday, I will plant my sweet potatoes, will share with you if it is ok ,but I can,t get over this vedio, it gives me a hot foot, come on spring
Saludos saludos..
Thank you for watching!
I started some sweet potatoes also how do I cure them this is my first try this year
How will you store them?
This shirt video gives the answer. Thank you for watching! th-cam.com/video/q-wUWCisLJ0/w-d-xo.html
what kind of soil you used? they grew so good
I make a mix that I teach in Square Foot Gardening, but I also added a little complete organic fertilizer called Revita Pro by Ohio Earth Food which is a chicken manure based fertilizer with other amendments such as feather meal. You can watch how I make the growing medium here: th-cam.com/video/FRKiBj1mkAo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching!
Amazing harvest😲 what’s the name of the variety
She mentioned Beauregard
@@nohphd yea, it’s a few varieties of those
What variety of sweet potato did you grow? How often did you water? and did you fertilize.
Those are Garnets. I started the slips from an organic sweet potato. I try to keep the soil like a wrung out sponge. With my raised beds, they can dry out quickly, so in the heat of summer, usually every 1-2 days. If they were grown in the ground, I likely would have watered less. I fertilize with plenty of quality compost and a lily complete organic fertilizer called Revita Pro.
@@LeslieCaza Thank you so much. I tried this year for the first time and it was pretty bad. They all split deeply and there was not much in the ground. Did not get to taste home grown sweet potatoes this time.
@@dianacoburn8269 I found this for you from an extension office. "What makes sweet potatoes crack and split? A. Heavy rains or too much irrigation during the final 3 to 4 weeks before harvest may cause the roots to split, especially if conditions have been dry for a period before late water application begins."
@@LeslieCaza That mekes sense I am in Utah. We have been dealing with the terrible drought and heat. I know I must have over-watered because I was worried about them getting too dry.
Thanks Leslie that was really kind of you to research that for me.
How do you store the harvested Sweet Potatoes?
After curing them, ( see my video on how to make sweet potatoes sweet), I wrapped them in packing paper which is like a newsprint paper and store them in apple boxes in a room of our house that is relatively cool. It's April and our Sept harvest is still very nice.
I planted a bunch in peat moss this year. What are your thoughts?
I have never tried that before. I find that peat moss can get pretty dry and hard so you'll need to be very careful to keep it moist. Also you need something to fertilize the plants so I would add some compost for sure or a complete organic fertilizer.
Such a great harvest! it was so fun to watch :) How many months between planting and harvesting?
Gardening for decades. Square Foot Gardening for about 7 years. I love both, but SFG is easiest! I have a TH-cam on how to do SFG if you are interested in such. Thank you for watching!
@@LeslieCaza oh i meant how long did it take for the sweet potatoes to grow and be harvested? :D I will look into SFG!
@@purrmaculture I planted in mid May and harvesting in mid-September. I hope that helps!
@@LeslieCaza What a great harvest. Did you plant every 12 inches or?
@@fancythat5136 The grow bed is about 10 inches deep (the depth of a cinder block). I planted the sweet potato slips about every 18 inches.
Hun what fertilizers u used on the sweet potatoes
I use a complete organic fertilizer called revita Pro. It's basically a dried chicken manure with some other amendments in it. It's by Ohio Earth food.
They look like cocoa pods
Haven't lifted ours yet but historically we get 13 to 15 pounds per sweet potato plant
Excellent!
@@LeslieCaza Sooooooo, how do you do?
@@erichaskell Blessed. Thank you for asking.
I’m curious how many slips did you plant in there?
About 12
@@LeslieCaza thank you and how big was that space? I have lots of peat moss.
The space was about 26 inches wide by 12 feet long. The mix is 8" deep.
@@LeslieCaza thank you! Very nice haul for such a small space. Best I’ve seen.
Is that basically peet moss or some other mix of soil?
What was your soil mix?
For moles or voles try mixing 1 Tbs of caster oil like you find at the pharmacy to a gallon of water then put in a watering can and water your problem areas with it
I love it when I learn from my viewers! Thank you for sharing!
What is your secret ..
OMG! I have never seen such huge sweet potatoes as what some of those were. Unbelievable!
Thanks for watching!
It's mesmerizing to watc you dig your potatoes, fruit of your labour. What a blessing!! Thank you for the inspiration. May God continue to bless your labour with abundant fruits!
That's the best harvest i have ever seen. Amazing!
You're doing such a great job at showing everyone the way you see the world! Thank you for this!
That is one of the best sweet potato set ups and harvest I've ever seen. Bravo! Beauregard Sweet Potatoes are very Orange in color. If I were to guess It looks like a huge haul of Garnet Sweet Potatoes. In the end they're all yummy.
You may be right about the Garnet! Thank you for pointing that out. My viewers are some of the nicest people!
I really enjoyed this video. You are such a blessing, thank you.
The biggest harvest ever
Wow!
