Whenever the potatoes started to flower its a sign that they are closer to maturity. One love ❤️
Yes!!
I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us
Thank you so much
The sweet potato leaves are good! They are kinda sweet and mild flavored greens. They're super nutritious, too! Rabbits can eat them if you want to turn them in to protein.
I dehydrate my greens and make a green powder for smoothies! Yum.
Pretty patch!
Nice, video, thanks for sharing your tips about sweet potatoes...
To the one who said when sweet potatoe vines are flowering it is a sign that it is getting ready to harvest. I agree but at the same time it is good to leave the potatoes alone until it stop flowering. I learn that the hard way. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE AND PLEASE TRY AND STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY! 🙏🙏💐💐
Thank you
You're welcome
@hosstools don’t laugh! I have okra that was at least 11ft tall. I cut it back but not before I moved a ladder around that bed for the entire season. There were some small ones that seemed to be stunted. 🤣 After seeing this video, I went to check my seeds and sure enough, it’s the Jambalaya Okra! 🤓 No wonder they hadn’t gotten anywhere near as tall!!! Thank you for clearing that up! Great video! Now, I got to go check my sweet tators! 💜
🌈🌻ThankYou
Helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Will you make a video/tutorial of how and when you plow under your cover crop?
We sure will!
My first year with a single sweet potato that I dutifully got to send out tendrils. Mine is in a grow-bag, and like you, I am going to wait until cooler weather to dump the bag.
Odd note, my son does commercial dirt moving on construction projects in Alabama. Kudzu is an issue there. But after growing one darned sweet potato in a 7 gallon bag, I wonder if they could be used for soil stabilization. (Only bringing it up because there was a project that had severe erosion of the hill behind the construction, and I jokingly said "drop some kudzu on it and it'll be fine.)
Beautiful field of sweet potatoes! Do you sell to the public? I’m in NC & I’ve just recently come across your website. I’ve ordered and received & now needing to order again! If you sell any other of your produce to the public, I do believe it would be a trip well worth the drive!
No, sorry
Hey Travis what is the best okrie producer and does it taste good.
Jambalaya is by far the best producing variety.
When are y’all gonna restock the English peas for fall?
We just added a new variety named Sugar Prince that we have in stock and ready to ship: hosstools.com/product/sugar-prince-pea/
One more thing. To see how much adjustment i need to make you say you're in south GA. how far South are you? I'm in the North Atlanta area, Canton/Cumming area.
We're way down here about an hour north of Tallahassee, FL.
I was wondering if you can give me some advice? The vine bores are destroying all my cantaloupe, although I’ve been spraying them with neem oil. I wrapped the bottom with silver foil and they went inside the cantaloupe and destroyed the fruits. I am not sure what to do?
Try Spinosad or Pyrethrin, although this time of year it can be tough due to the quick population turnover in the hotter months.
Use river water to water plants it's free water thank God.use river water to make plant food.river water sprinklers.
I live in RI zone 6, so how long should I keep them in the ground.
Usually 120 days after planting is sufficient.
Do you know the name of the velvety purple okra? It is round. Thank you so much. :)
No, not familiar with that variety.

Do I need to hill my sweet potatoes? Planted them end of May and haven't hilled them so far.
We did a video on that a month or two ago. You don't have to do it, but we have several reasons why we like to do it at least once.
Are all the vines sweet potatoes grow necessary or can you keep them cut back to keep it manageable for a smaller area I'd like to stuff a few extra plants in to?
you can keep them cut back , but not to much
do you need fertiliser for sweet potatoes
We feed ours a little bit of balanced fertilizer in the beginning to get them going, but don't fertilize them after that. Too much nitrogen will cause you to make all leaves and no potatoes.
number days, yellow leaves...don't work on my sweet potatoes :) Some year, I have a good harvest. Some year, I have over mature fibery sweet potable. and some year, they're tiny and barely started to develop.
Is the jumbolia okra an heirloom plant?
Jambalaya is a hybrid variety.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank You
Beautiful. Crop. Do you donate to a food bank or shelter? Do your employees reap the harvest? Do you go to farmer’s markets? That just looks like a sea of potatoes. Debra.
We have a weekly vegetable bag operation. Similar to a CSA, but we don't require up front payment at the beginning of the season. It's more of a week to week deal.
Hoss Tools Beautiful operation.
How do you keep voles and chipmunks from eating the tubers? They had a feast with my regular potatoes.
No chipmunks or voles down here. We do have large field rats. But we got two cats to take care of those rascals.
I waited for 130 days , just harvested nine and they all looked shaped like carrots ... why is that ? I had great compost / soil and watered plenty daily . Vines stayed pretty green . I’m in SC! How come my sweet potatoes look like carrots?
I've had that happen when I had too much nitrogen.
Oh dang, my okra is only like 2ft tall and producing 😆
Can I grow sweet potatoes in a bucket?
yes
You guys have been in the seed business long enough to have some perspective on it, are you happy with your decision ?
Very happy and we look forward to providing high-quality seeds to gardeners across the country for many years to come!
When will you have the jambalaya okra seeds? I cant find them anywhere!
We have them right here: hosstools.com/product/jambalaya-okra/
What does it mean if they produce flowers? Mine just bloomed!?!
That means it's time to mow it and incorporate it into the soil.
If you're talking about your sweet potato vines you can harvest "true seed" from them. I'm just learning how to do that myself.
@@gardeningwithhoss but as far as the sweet potatoes go, it has only been about 80 days.. should i harvest them?
@@j.reneewhite915 can you grow sweet potatoes from seed?
I'm at Walmart watching this
git you some okreeee
How am I supposed to know when to harvest my sweet potatoes if I didn’t keep track of when I planted them
You will have to dig a few up to see if they are ready. Normally takes an average of 100 days.
Why deosn't my eggplant have flowers? It is lush, tall, healthy, and barren. Direct sun is very low about 4 hours but indirect sun the rest of the day. I'm in North Central Florida and want some eggplant to eat. As Mater would say, Dadgum it.
Don't feel bad. Eggplants have been elusive for me too.
@@sislertx Do you think it's too late - or does bonemeal work quickly? Thanks for the help.
Bone meal is very slow.
@@gardeningwithhoss is it too late for NC Florida? The plants are so healthy while every thing is done, done, that's all folks. I planted too many seeds thinking it was akra (which I love) and really want some but maybe it is just too late to fix this.
I would guess you have too much nitrogen or not enough sun. Or both. Egglants need at least 6 hours of direct sun to set seed. It also will not set seed if it has too little potassium and too much nitrogen.
Are we supposed to be taking all the bottom leaves off of our okra plants?
Terri, I haven't trimmed mine back. The leaves are healthy and most of mine branched and the branch is producing too.
He has a good video on Okra. Pro and Con of pruning
You don't have to do it, but it sure makes harvesting easier.
I'm surprised that y'all don't grow goobers... Any particular reason?
We probably should. The commercial guys around here grow their fair share.
I have to ask because round here, goobers are what you shouldn't pick out of your nose... What do you folks call goobers? 😁
peanuts
@@gardeningwithhoss cheers mate!
Okry or Okra? lol
oh-kree
I watched all the way to 9:25 and he still never said anything about harvesting anything------ score= zero
