I planted some sweet potatoes in a straw bale this year and it totally blew my mind. It almost completely filled the bale. Crazy. Definitely doing more like that next year. Also I did use high nitrogen liquid fertilizer periodically. I honestly didn’t think it was going to work. I was just experimenting but it worked!
That is cool. I actually grew a lot of vegetables in bales, years ago. I might try again for fun. Keyword search 'Black Friday' at my shop. Lots of sales are up.

Highly Recommend you all watch *"Gaint Sweet Potatoes? Does this always happen"* I literally laughed out loud more than once! Channel name is *"Stuff that Works"*
I grew Sweet Potatoes in a raised bed for the first time this year and by pure accident had a bumper crop, I did not know about pruning them back so my patio looked like Jurassic Park , I and my youngest Granddaughter harvested the last of them on Nov. 23 as I live on the Texas Coast and we are still getting 80's for high temps and the 90 % humidity that are needed for proper curing , I do want to say Great Video to Mr. Pilarchick as I learned more in the first 3 minutes than anyone else has ever told me about sweet potatoes and very useful information , the Y-Tube algo finally did me some good today !
They sure go crazy. Thanks so much and I am glad to share. Cheers to having your grandkids learn about the garden. Fabric pots are on sale for Black Friday. Keyword search 'Black Friday' at my shop.

@@THERUSTEDGARDENThank you ,Gary I had a bad back surgery last year & caught SEPSIS here in Montgomery County, Texas We had gardens last year , but not as good as past , I've put alot of grow bags on my deck with things under them to let water drain . I planted 6 slips yesterday in a 10 gallon grow bag and right now I still have 17 slips left to put in new loose dirt in 15 & 20 gallon grow bags . I did add 13-13-13 in all the new dirt only 1/2 cup . What other fertilizer do u suggest? During growing ? Fish emulsion, homemade comfrey tea ??? It's been awhile but I can't thank you enough for all you taught me years ago , I still start my own plants and still have plant sales . I love your book & your 2in starter cups still going strong & pans .... God bless you Mrs josette Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The first thing I did with my sweet potato harvest was to bake two sweet potato pies. Yummy. I've also added sweet potatoes to pot roast and of course baked sweet potato and top with brown sugar and butter. Sweet potato is probably one of my favorite vegetables.

I grew Covington variety this year…so sweet, no pests, and in fact, just whipped up a bunch with butter, cream, bit of cinnamon and maple syrup…this will be YUMMY for Thanksgiving dinner! They were in all shapes and sizes…smaller ones cooked for dog…a simple baked sweet potato with butter, S&P…am in heaven!

@@flatsville1 i bought the slips from Gurney’s…all they described was this: Very uniform roots Produces high yields Long storage time From North Carolina State, it's rapidly replacing Beauregard in commercial plantings. Not because of flavor, both are sweet with great flavor. And it isn't because of yield, they are both very good yielders. In truth, there are three key differences: 1) Storage time is much longer than Beauregard (which can begin to deteriorate beginning in January). 2) Covington roots are very uniform in shape and not prone to produce misshapen or long, narrow roots. (Georgia Jet is especially prone to misshapen roots and football-sized lunkers that are hard to bake or process.) 3) Covington is resistant to Russet crack and Southern root-knot nematode, either of which can make growing sweet potatoes very discouraging! Great for boiling, roasting, or mashing. 100-115 DAYS.
Here in Oklahoma, we chose to harvest our sweet potatoes When the daytime temperatures are around 80 to 85°, typically end of September into October. October 15 was a good time for me this year. I was able to cure my sweet potatoes outside which provided the humidity.

Its either dry as hell here or humid as hell but not that warm, average temp during harvest is like 55-70 70 is not that common and we get just a few days a year of 80-85. So curing must be done inside.
I've set up cattle panel & concrete mesh rings lined with scap landscape fab/ double lined cardboard open to the bottom. Drove in 3-4 rebar stakes to keep shape. At the end of the season, cut the zip ties at joined section & harvest. Little to no digging with a fork/ shovel. The potatoes spill out. Works for sweets & whites. Lined rings are cheap to build & easy to move if your garden plan changes. Fully re-usable multiple times/moves. They can be camouflaged with peas/beans/flowers gowing around the outside ring. Best to put joined section to the North. Plant a bit more sparsley near the joined seam. Also, this damn bending over must stop. Amazing how 24 - 36 in makes a difference on your back.

Planted some this year in a couple of cardboard boxes. Only had about 4 plants but got about 20 or so potatoes. Several were good size and most were around 1/2 pound or less. I didn't trim vines much but also didn't fertilize but about once per month or less.
Ive grown in card boxes before its kind of fun. Try adding in some bone meal or phosphorous in the beginning. It does give them a boost. Keyword search 'Black Friday' at my shop.

Because my slip have very little leaves, I give it a booster of [N] like Miracle-Gro & a bit of Fish Emulsion, at planting, plus some bone meal. Then following your experrt advice, the rest of the growing season i fertilize with a Fruit & Bloom Booster (2-15-15). Great video! I've watched it a few times & even book-marked it.

My mother just gave me an awesome way she cured her sweet potatoes. She had a skinny shelving unit she put in her bathroom. She said she would just lay them on shelves and roll it into her bathroom for a couple weeks. After that she rolled the shelves into her storage cupboard or i can use a closet. Going to try that for my first time curing. She also said i can put in garage once cured. Just keep them in single layers to make checking easier.

I'm curing my sweet potatoes in a clear plastic tub on top of a 48x20 seed heat mat with a 64oz jar of water and kept at 85 degrees for 10-14 days.

Thank you for the great and timely video! Can I plant sweet potatoes next year in the same raised bed that I did last year? I am in Florida and grew over 160 pounds of potatoes in two 8 ft raised beds? A lot were large in the 8 ft sectioned grow bag and they taste amazing and the the biggest ones were in that bed. I also grew some in a Vego 8 ft bed and they did pretty well but a lot were smaller some tiny. We generally don’t have cellars here in my part of Florida because the water table is high. So I have given many away to family and friends. I grew a lot of long ones that are more long than round. I measured 3 and a half inches to 4 and a half inches around. I thought I would pressure can some and quickly learned it is 10 times the prep work for most items. I plan to make sweet potato pies out of some this fall and winter.
Glad to share. I am putting mine in the same bed. I just amended it and will let it sit for winter. Yeah amend your soil. Nice harvest btw. Fabric pots are on sale for Black Friday.

Curing: I’m in zone 9A in central California. I am putting my sweet potatoes in a plastic bag with vent holes but was wondering if I can keep them on my covered patio during the hot summer days because inside my house is cooler. Maybe even in the garage? What are your thoughts?
So as long as the holes are decent and sun isn't getting to them, I think its fine. I would just inspect daily.

Agree with you. I had a great sweet potato harvest in October. Agree the curing process is nuts. Probably something that can be done in FL but I'm in NE Alabama so I put mine in a vehicle on newspaper but not enough room for all of them. But This year I didn't do that and I think I'm going to be pretty disappointed in sweetness. Its very hard to have the type atmosphere they say to cure.

Great video thank you. I have a question. Is cardboard sheet ok at the bottom of the pit? thinking a of a 4' x 10' 2 feet pit ,an overlay of landscape fabric then a layer of cardboard then put back loosen soil mixed with mushroom compost. Also planing of put a trellis above. Would that be good? Thank you. also thinking in mixing the purple and the orange sweet potatoe for a leaf color effect. thanks again
That all is good, you dont need the landscape fabric. Nothing will grow up from the depths once you drop cardboard and burry it all. Future seeds will come from the top or when you turn soil and bring seeds to the surface. Good luck.

Hey Gary! so my 1st time growing potatoes in a container this year. I used your method! Had starts in a container of red norlands, 3 containers. they died off at top. I couldn't get to them right off. after a week, they grew new green and look better now than what they did in may lol. I went ahead and harvested 1 container. have almost 20 from 2 seed potatoes! my question is, are they safe to eat since they started growing again? Im excited they did so well but I dont want to make us sick. I started them may 1st. they died off around the 90 day mark. I harvested then 2 days ago. Thank you!✌❤
They are safe. As long as the potatoes itself is green, your are good and that is rare. And normally comes from exposed potatoes.

Sweet potatoes like an acidic soil at about 5.5 to put 6. I would recommend checking the pH. The wood ash is certainly not helping, perhaps look for an alternative way to get potash.

ive checked some of my tubers, there are small sweet potatoes coming out, but very small, like half a palm-size. Is that it? Or is it yet to reach full size. My tubers are doing great, occasionally dying off in the scorching heat, and then regrowing just as quickly. Ive put some phosphorus as well

I've tried doing that, and I've planted slips. They seem to both work about the same. Any small sweet potatoes that I put in water to grow slips but haven't had any luck getting slips from (meaning it's been sitting in the water a while and has sprouted a lot, but there's just not any roots growing from the sprouts like you would need in order to break it off and plant it) I eventually just plant whole. Seems to work.
@@KaileyB616 Thanks! I guess it would be hard for a sweet potato to not sprout some out once in the dirt. If it usually does it in water you would think it would do it in dirt also.

Hi Gary, isn't Potash the same like your wood ash? It has some fancy color but I'm wondering if both are the same, except you have to spend money on the Potash bag.
They have the same elements but they are different sources. Wood ash will provide a lot of calcium and some potassium. Its good stuff but not to be over used.

My sweet potatoes were an epic fail this year. I planted the slips a little late but had abundant healthy looking vines and some nice size potatoes, BUT the potatoes all had dozens of deep cracks or splits running the length of the potato. Any idea what caused it?
Inconsistent rainfall/watering most likely. Did you have a long period without rain/irrigation? There's about 1/2 dozen TH-cam vids on this issue. Deep mulching in the future will help with this.
Water is the key. But cracks I don't know for sure. Keyword search 'Black Friday' at my shop. Lots of sales are up.

Found this. Many gardners say to stop watering a month before harvest. Of course CCR would ask, "Who'll stop the rain?" Also, could be scab. >>>Excess water at the end of the season is the primary cause of split or cracks in a sweet potato. Irrigation should stop a month before harvest. Abundant water at this time causes the potato to swell and the skin to split. Sweet potato growth cracks from fertilizer also occurs.>It's difficult to tell from your description whether the tubers are diseased, or if they've reacted to some cultural problem during their growth. If the cracks are corky, brown and slightly raised, you may be dealing with 'scab', a common bacterial disease. Affected tubers won't store well, but in the early stages, the spots are superficial and can be peeled off or cut out, and the remaining potato will be safe to eat. If the skins of the tubers have simple cracks, it's probably due to a growth spurt with too much or too little water. In that case, the tubers are safe to eat, but won't keep well because of the openings in the skins. Whatever the cause, play it safe next year and plant your sweet potatoes in another section of the garden so any overwintering pathogens won't have a chance to attack them.

Are those sweet potatoes or Yams? A long time ago I was taught sweet potatoes are "YELLOW" in color and yams are "ORANGE" in color...yams are sweeter and sweet potatoes are more nutritious... Will this fertilizer "set-up" work for watermelons and cantelopes?

What happens in nature, without human hands? How do they propagate themselves? If a sweet potato is in the ground, won't it sprout and grow slips? Won't those slips root, and new sweet potatoes develop?
They will. Starting indoors gets them 2-3 months of slip growth when its to cold outside for them to even grow.

I planted some sweet potatoes in a straw bale this year and it totally blew my mind. It almost completely filled the bale. Crazy. Definitely doing more like that next year. Also I did use high nitrogen liquid fertilizer periodically. I honestly didn’t think it was going to work. I was just experimenting but it worked!
That is cool. I actually grew a lot of vegetables in bales, years ago. I might try again for fun.

Highly Recommend you all watch *"Gaint Sweet Potatoes? Does this always happen"* I literally laughed out loud more than once! Channel name is *"Stuff that Works"*
What country do you live in
I grew Sweet Potatoes in a raised bed for the first time this year and by pure accident had a bumper crop, I did not know about pruning them back so my patio looked like Jurassic Park , I and my youngest Granddaughter harvested the last of them on Nov. 23 as I live on the Texas Coast and we are still getting 80's for high temps and the 90 % humidity that are needed for proper curing , I do want to say Great Video to Mr. Pilarchick as I learned more in the first 3 minutes than anyone else has ever told me about sweet potatoes and very useful information , the Y-Tube algo finally did me some good today !
They sure go crazy. Thanks so much and I am glad to share. Cheers to having your grandkids learn about the garden.

I had a bad back surgery last year & caught SEPSIS here in
Montgomery County, Texas
We had gardens last year , but not as good as past ,
I've put alot of grow bags on my deck with things under them to let water drain .
I planted 6 slips yesterday in a 10 gallon grow bag and right now I still have 17 slips left to put in new loose dirt in 15 & 20 gallon grow bags .
I did add 13-13-13 in all the new dirt only 1/2 cup .
What other fertilizer do u suggest? During growing ? Fish emulsion, homemade comfrey tea ???
It's been awhile but I can't thank you enough for all you taught me years ago , I still start my own plants and still have plant sales .
I love your book & your 2in starter cups still going strong & pans ....

Which new Covington vaiety? Do you recall the name?
I'm always interested in pest resistant varieties.
@@flatsville1 i bought the slips from Gurney’s…all they described was this: Very uniform roots
Produces high yields
Long storage time
From North Carolina State, it's rapidly replacing Beauregard in commercial plantings. Not because of flavor, both are sweet with great flavor. And it isn't because of yield, they are both very good yielders. In truth, there are three key differences: 1) Storage time is much longer than Beauregard (which can begin to deteriorate beginning in January). 2) Covington roots are very uniform in shape and not prone to produce misshapen or long, narrow roots. (Georgia Jet is especially prone to misshapen roots and football-sized lunkers that are hard to bake or process.) 3) Covington is resistant to Russet crack and Southern root-knot nematode, either of which can make growing sweet potatoes very discouraging! Great for boiling, roasting, or mashing. 100-115 DAYS.
@@PineGeri Thnx much.
Here in Oklahoma, we chose to harvest our sweet potatoes When the daytime temperatures are around 80 to 85°, typically end of September into October. October 15 was a good time for me this year. I was able to cure my sweet potatoes outside which provided the humidity.

Its either dry as hell here or humid as hell but not that warm, average temp during harvest is like 55-70 70 is not that common and we get just a few days a year of 80-85. So curing must be done inside.
I've set up cattle panel & concrete mesh rings lined with scap landscape fab/ double lined cardboard open to the bottom. Drove in 3-4 rebar stakes to keep shape. At the end of the season, cut the zip ties at joined section & harvest. Little to no digging with a fork/ shovel. The potatoes spill out. Works for sweets & whites.
Lined rings are cheap to build & easy to move if your garden plan changes. Fully re-usable multiple times/moves. They can be camouflaged with peas/beans/flowers gowing around the outside ring. Best to put joined section to the North. Plant a bit more sparsley near the joined seam.
Also, this damn bending over must stop. Amazing how 24 - 36 in makes a difference on your back.

Where all did you insert the slips?

@@flatsville1 Thanks, that makes sense
I tried 2 dif pots one fabric and one plastic… got a huge 4lb monster (check my vid) in the 5 gal fab pot and 2 little ones in the plastic pot. No fertilizer ever…. Just water. My vines had flowers constantly. Will def use the fab pots only and will be planting tons next year….. thanks for your tips because I will use the cutting back of the vines trick. Love from a MD born current Jersey girl!!
4lbs is nice. Okay Ill go watch. Jersey is where I grew up.

Planted some this year in a couple of cardboard boxes. Only had about 4 plants but got about 20 or so potatoes. Several were good size and most were around 1/2 pound or less. I didn't trim vines much but also didn't fertilize but about once per month or less.
Ive grown in card boxes before its kind of fun. Try adding in some bone meal or phosphorous in the beginning. It does give them a boost.

Because my slip have very little leaves, I give it a booster of [N] like Miracle-Gro & a bit of Fish Emulsion, at planting, plus some bone meal.
Then following your experrt advice, the rest of the growing season i fertilize with a Fruit & Bloom Booster (2-15-15).

My mother just gave me an awesome way she cured her sweet potatoes. She had a skinny shelving unit she put in her bathroom. She said she would just lay them on shelves and roll it into her bathroom for a couple weeks. After that she rolled the shelves into her storage cupboard or i can use a closet. Going to try that for my first time curing. She also said i can put in garage once cured. Just keep them in single layers to make checking easier.
Thats cool

I'm curing my sweet potatoes in a clear plastic tub on top of a 48x20 seed heat mat with a 64oz jar of water and kept at 85 degrees for 10-14 days. This way I no need to convert a room or closet. easy peasy. Mine were in the bag 15 gallon, for 179 days! Nice sized too. Just wish we had seasons here in central CA zone 9a so they never put fertilizers on sale.
The sales are so good here.

Thank you for the great and timely video! Can I plant sweet potatoes next year in the same raised bed that I did last year? I am in Florida and grew over 160 pounds of potatoes in two 8 ft raised beds? A lot were large in the 8 ft sectioned grow bag and they taste amazing and the the biggest ones were in that bed. I also grew some in a Vego 8 ft bed and they did pretty well but a lot were smaller some tiny. We generally don’t have cellars here in my part of Florida because the water table is high. So I have given many away to family and friends. I grew a lot of long ones that are more long than round. I measured 3 and a half inches to 4 and a half inches around. I thought I would pressure can some and quickly learned it is 10 times the prep work for most items. I plan to make sweet potato pies out of some this fall and winter.
Glad to share. I am putting mine in the same bed. I just amended it and will let it sit for winter. Yeah amend your soil. Nice harvest btw.

Curing: I’m in zone 9A in central California. I am putting my sweet potatoes in a plastic bag with vent holes but was wondering if I can keep them on my covered patio during the hot summer days because inside my house is cooler. Maybe even in the garage? What are your thoughts?
So as long as the holes are decent and sun isn't getting to them, I think its fine. I would just inspect daily.

Agree with you. I had a great sweet potato harvest in October. Agree the curing process is nuts. Probably something that can be done in FL but I'm in NE Alabama so I put mine in a vehicle on newspaper but not enough room for all of them. But This year I didn't do that and I think I'm going to be pretty disappointed in sweetness. Its very hard to have the type atmosphere they say to cure.
Some people said they where curing in an cooler but I would need a really large one

Nice harvest. Thanks for the tips. I hope to plant them one day.. What is your suggestion if I should cover or not cover my raised beds over the winter in a zone that receives a lot of snow?
There isn't a need to cover unless you want to keep leaves and materials you put down from blowing away. I cover mine sometimes to keep the leaves moist and let worms do their thing but its not needed.

Hi Gary, I grew sweet potatoes the first time.. the green growth was good but my sweet potatoes had holes on them.. almost full crop destroyed not sure what caused it.. I have grown other root crops there and had no issues.. Any idea what that could be and how to treat it
Those could be wire worms. I had them one year. I made a soil drench with neem oil that seems to help.

Great video thank you. I have a question. Is cardboard sheet ok at the bottom of the pit? thinking a of a 4' x 10' 2 feet pit ,an overlay of landscape fabric then a layer of cardboard then put back loosen soil mixed with mushroom compost. Also planing of put a trellis above. Would that be good? Thank you. also thinking in mixing the purple and the orange sweet potatoe for a leaf color effect. thanks again
That all is good, you dont need the landscape fabric. Nothing will grow up from the depths once you drop cardboard and burry it all. Future seeds will come from the top or when you turn soil and bring seeds to the surface. Good luck.

Hey Gary! so my 1st time growing potatoes in a container this year. I used your method!
Had starts in a container of red norlands, 3 containers. they died off at top. I couldn't get to them right off. after a week, they grew new green and look better now than what they did in may lol.
I went ahead and harvested 1 container. have almost 20 from 2 seed potatoes! my question is, are they safe to eat since they started growing again? Im excited they did so well but I dont want to make us sick. I started them may 1st. they died off around the 90 day mark. I harvested then 2 days ago. Thank you!✌❤
They are safe. As long as the potatoes itself is green, your are good and that is rare. And normally comes from exposed potatoes.

Sweet potatoes like an acidic soil at about 5.5 to put 6. I would recommend checking the pH. The wood ash is certainly not helping, perhaps look for an alternative way to get potash.
Do you add the potash and bone meal to the sweet potato garden area now, in November?
Yeah now is good. As it will break down and be there. But you can add some in the spring too if you don't get to it. It all works out.

ive checked some of my tubers, there are small sweet potatoes coming out, but very small, like half a palm-size. Is that it? Or is it yet to reach full size. My tubers are doing great, occasionally dying off in the scorching heat, and then regrowing just as quickly. Ive put some phosphorus as well

I've tried doing that, and I've planted slips. They seem to both work about the same. Any small sweet potatoes that I put in water to grow slips but haven't had any luck getting slips from (meaning it's been sitting in the water a while and has sprouted a lot, but there's just not any roots growing from the sprouts like you would need in order to break it off and plant it) I eventually just plant whole. Seems to work.
@@KaileyB616 Thanks! I guess it would be hard for a sweet potato to not sprout some out once in the dirt. If it usually does it in water you would think it would do it in dirt also.
does coffee grounds help sweet potato growing?
Play sand normally see in the park where the kids play or brick sand is ideal to breakup clay soil.

Hi Gary, isn't Potash the same like your wood ash? It has some fancy color but I'm wondering if both are the same, except you have to spend money on the Potash bag.
They have the same elements but they are different sources. Wood ash will provide a lot of calcium and some potassium. Its good stuff but not to be over used.

Yep... cost is a key for many of us. And the TSP works well.

I have 10 acres, I plant in the ground. Will the fertilizer work for me?
10 acres is planned differently with fertilizers. Yes it would work but you have to have a plan on how to disperse it evenly and where it is needed.
does the wood ash from Jicama top growth lose its poison in the process?
I dont know for sure but just about anything burned is completed destroyed and broken down

They do just fine and, in fact, *need* nitrogen, folks.
You don't get big tubers without the photosynthesis to support it. You don't get photosynthesis without green top growth.
Fertilize.
Use nitrogen.
You'll do *much* better than without.
Of course they need nitrogen. All plants do

My sweet potatoes were an epic fail this year. I planted the slips a little late but had abundant healthy looking vines and some nice size potatoes, BUT the potatoes all had dozens of deep cracks or splits running the length of the potato. Any idea what caused it?
Inconsistent rainfall/watering most likely. Did you have a long period without rain/irrigation?
There's about 1/2 dozen TH-cam vids on this issue.
Deep mulching in the future will help with this.
Water is the key. But cracks I don't know for sure.

Found this. Many gardners say to stop watering a month before harvest. Of course CCR would ask, "Who'll stop the rain?"
Also, could be scab.
>>>Excess water at the end of the season is the primary cause of split or cracks in a sweet potato. Irrigation should stop a month before harvest. Abundant water at this time causes the potato to swell and the skin to split. Sweet potato growth cracks from fertilizer also occurs.>It's difficult to tell from your description whether the tubers are diseased, or if they've reacted to some cultural problem during their growth. If the cracks are corky, brown and slightly raised, you may be dealing with 'scab', a common bacterial disease. Affected tubers won't store well, but in the early stages, the spots are superficial and can be peeled off or cut out, and the remaining potato will be safe to eat. If the skins of the tubers have simple cracks, it's probably due to a growth spurt with too much or too little water. In that case, the tubers are safe to eat, but won't keep well because of the openings in the skins. Whatever the cause, play it safe next year and plant your sweet potatoes in another section of the garden so any overwintering pathogens won't have a chance to attack them.
Does the sweet potato need to be cured or not if trying to grow slips from it?
You don't

I grew a few sweet potatoes, and put them on top of the ductwork in my basement to cure. They look okay but I haven’t tried any yet.
Interesting

We don't have much problem having too much growth because we eat the sweet potato slips steamed, boiled or as added ingredient in cooking.
I try and like the leaves but just havent found them to be tasty.

The biggest thing I hear about sweet potatoes is people treating them like Irish potatoes. They hear the word potatoes and they plant way too early. They are not related. I'm on several local garden posts and I've already seen people saying they r starting slips. I'm in zone 8a Texas.
Good point. And yes... warmth

How about langbenite for K? Less sodium chloride than potash.
I think it would be fine. I don't know how quickly it becomes available as Ive not used it before. But any source can work.

I harvested my Okinawan sweet potatoes (purple flesh) today. 40lb of potatoes from 3x15G bags. The bags have velcro windows to see when the tubers are ready.
I wish I could post photos here. I also wanted to mention the I stop watering the potatoes 2 weeks before harvest. The dirt rubs off easy and the skins are already dry when they are dug up.
Will 10 10 10 work good
I will work.

Are those sweet potatoes or Yams? A long time ago I was taught sweet potatoes are "YELLOW" in color and yams are "ORANGE" in color...yams are sweeter and sweet potatoes are more nutritious... Will this fertilizer "set-up" work for watermelons and cantelopes?
Well they were purchased as sweet potatoes so I assume they were. But not sure if they change up the names.

Those orange "yams" are actually sweet potatoes. Just look up what an actual yam looks like. Most of us here in the U.S. have probably never seen a real yam in the grocery store.
why no one talks about the place to plant the plants specially sun or shade?
Always sun

I prepared mine with a lot of bonemeal and langbeinite , but I did put some blood meal too. I hope I didnt botch my whole harvest 🤦🏻♂️

What happens in nature, without human hands? How do they propagate themselves? If a sweet potato is in the ground, won't it sprout and grow slips? Won't those slips root, and new sweet potatoes develop?
They will. Starting indoors gets them 2-3 months of slip growth when its to cold outside for them to even grow.

Great info, thank you. I'm sure it's just me but the camera motion was making me queasy. Especially when the video portion isn't really important, when you're just talking, maybe have the camera in a fixed position? I did just minimize the window but your content is so good the distraction is unfortunate.
