  • As a huge sweet potato fan, I attempted with today's video to give some context to how to harvest sweet potatoes, when to harvest sweet potatoes, and how to cure them.
    Questions answered: When do I harvest sweet potatoes? How do I cure sweet potatoes? How do I market sweet potatoes? What if my sweet potatoes got frosted? Do I need to dig my sweet potatoes? Do I have to cure my sweet potatoes.

    Thanks for all the really helpful information here. This is my first time growing sweet potatoes. The ones I could see and feel seemed kind of small so I decided to let them keep growing. Was worried I'd left them too long, so it's reassuring to know I can wait until frost. These are for home use, so the bigger the better. Curing them in cool dry weather is going to be a challenge.

      @Flav_M 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      you and I both, had a good store bought batch and thought....i'd like to eat that again :D
      lucky for me i was able to sprout and transplant them successfully, I didn't however know that 3 plants would take up nearly 500 sq ft and continue to flower and wildly stretch out still in September.
      Side note Jesse...we rarely frost here (mid CA) soo....what to do et? They prob have around 120+ days now. Tips started poking out of the ground an inch or two and was already at least 3" around and I slid my finger down its back and it went deep :D I covered them up with a thick layer of mulch to keep them out of the sun so they don't turn green.
      Also is it mainly one per plant or maybe another couple smaller with a main stem? I'm hoping I get enough to keep for seed. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can eat cuz I keep finding food I like to grow and eat ... who knew?
      GOOD LUCK Koen :D
      Great timing with the vid BTW. Sweet setup you've got.

    • @GaryMcKinnonUFO
      @GaryMcKinnonUFO 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      If you cure them for a couple of weeks they can be stored for 8 months. Might come in handy now that we have food shortages on the way.

  • @PermaPen
    @PermaPen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    In London UK, by the time October comes there's nowhere outside that would be warm enough, so I put my (small) harvest of sweet potatoes in a plastic box like the one you had at the start, cover it with a constantly-damp towel and leave it in my sitting room or bedroom. I check and turn them gently every day or two for a couple of weeks until little wounds have crusted over. So far so successful!

      When you plant them for the first time give them their own space/bed and expect them to fill about 5' with greens per slip. It really becomes it's own jungle. Puerto Rico is supposed to be more bush type and less vine type.
