- Today was harvest day for the Georgia Jet sweet potatoes and I think I waited too long. They were mostly big ugly things with the heaviest being 4 pounds 10.5 ounces. Now to figure out how to cure them and then make some sweet potato fries. Definitely will plant them again. Its a long boring video with the final tally at the end.

If you cut the vines a couple days before harvesting that will allow the skins to toughen up so you don't damage them during harvest, that allows them to last longer in storage.
I read you only do that if frost hits the vines. 10 day hot humid cure and 10 day cool cure are supposed to toughen up the skin and make them sweet for longer storage. I definitely did some damage to thee skins and will try your way next. Thanks for watching.
That was FUN! I wasn’t bored at all, it was like watching a treasure hunt.
Definitely was like a treasure hunt to me. Didn't expect many the first try. Thanks for watching.
Exactly. I could watch all day! What a great harvest!! So many big ones on each plant and the split ones will eat just fine!
Never thought I would get such enjoyment watching a grown man playing in the dirt for almost an hour LOL:) Great video as always.
We all have some young kid emotions left inside us no matter how old we are. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 AMEN, I can't wait to dig in the dirt , as We get amazing food ,which is FREE !!!! BIG thank you
Josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🏻
When I raised sweet potatoes, I always did it in containers so I could turn them out on a tarp when it came time to harvest. It is a bit of a treasure hunt, and you had a great harvest!
I was shocked by the size of the harvest from the raised beds. They were really planted close together and still did great.
My favorite harvesting video is seeing someone dig for sweet potatoes and you fit the bill perfectly. I’ve never seen you this giddy before in any of your videos and it was a joy to watch. Congratulations on a magnificent harvest. I believe the split potatoes will heal over. I’m going to harvest mine once the rain stops. I planted mine in a very large tote bin this year. Getting too old to dig in the ground. I hope my harvest is half as good as yours..
There were a lot of surprises in the beds. It was like digging for buried treasure. Hope your harvest is a good one. Thanks for watching.
Love watching all farmers with sweet potatoes. 💕 they are my favorites. So grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing you with lots of sweet potatoes to harvesting. I watching most of the harvesting some are harvested but not good and some not much!...you blessed because you have much...I know you grateful..
Thanks. I t was a big surprise and we enjoyed them all winter. Thanks for watching.
I laughed all the way through this video. I NEVER get tired of watching people's reactions when they see the size and number of potatoes they get. I react the same way each year, and we've been growing them for many years now. Fun, fun !!!
I did not expect this after reading if there is a lot of rain you usually get large plants but small harvests. They were wrong. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 .... It truly is like a box of chocolates - You never know what you're going to get, and that's why it's so much fun to harvest. You did good! That will be very good eating this winter.
That was fun, not boring at all. I like your voiceovers but the live mike was nice to hear the delight in your voice. You did great. Can't wait to see what your Mrs. does with them.
Glad you enjoyed it! I was really surprised by what I found buried. We have no idea how we will use them all. Hoping to find some good recipes for videos. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I make seasoned cottage fries in the oven and steak fries in the air fryer. I'm sure you'll find something delicious.
My neighbor is from China. She makes sweetpotatoe tea from the leaves. Plus eats the
Leaves. Good to clean the blood. She's 70. Takes NO MEDICATIONS. Healthy and strong
I see many people eat them. Maybe someday we will try them. Thanks for watching.
I love full harvest videos! They are therapeutic to me 😅 looking forward to the pumpkin harvest! 🎃
It's a busy time of the year. Thanks for watching.
Was not all boring, I really enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
That’s some hard work. That’s why I grow them in potato cloth pots with a side pocket. You can actually harvest them and leave the plant to produce more.
We freeze up and the season is over.
Potato fries with the little ones! Sooooooooo goooood.
My favorite.
I like when people harvest their vegetables, especially potatoes. I'm waiting for my slips to grow so I can grow sweet potatoes to. But I'm doing mines in pots instead this way I can dump them out.
Good luck growing yours. Thanks for watching.
Well done, loyal and faith servant that nice harvest of sweet potatoes, Happy eating yum, yum
Thanks. We really are enjoying them. Thanks for watching.
I am always fascinated on how you turned something into many kind of dishes. They are so mouth watering 🤤! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Thanks. Looks like we both face different challenges and growing seasons but in the end it's all about enjoying what you grow year-round. Thanks for watching.
I loved this video! Your laugh was contagious :) I would have reacted the same way… giggling and happy that I learned a new way to feed my family and friends. I look forward to your recipes and storage solutions
This harvest was a big surprise. Like digging up buried treasure. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 amazing haul of sweet potatoes, I can't wait to plant mine this March ,
Bought Danny's manual from Deepsouth Homestead an Gonna start growing my slips next month ,
We still have okra & peppers & tomatoes coming daily here in Montgomery County, Texas
But have a weird cold front coming in by Wednesday love 44 , which is very unusual for this time of year so planting my soft neck Garlic today ...
What a great Sweet potatoe haul
Enjoy watching as you never know what creators are gonna pull up
That was so much fun! I can’t believe how big some of them are. I’m betting they will be fine once they cure, the gnarly ones. I think I’ll give it a try next year. 👍👍
There are some scary looking ones. I will let you know if they turn out being edible. Thanks for watching.
Loving the live mic. Getting the real-time reactions as you do the work is exciting. Keep up the entertaining videos.
Luckily it was a good harvest otherwise there would have been different reactions. Thanks for watching.
You can bake, boil or steam in their skins, cool, peel, puree, then freeze dry, can, or freeze. Of course you can use just like canned pumpkin. Keep the nicest with out split for baked yam. The largest nice ones for sweet potato fries as needed.
Thanks for the tips! There will be many sweet potato dishes in the future. Thanks for watching.
I can't think of anything I'd rather do than spend 30 odd minutes watching a happy man laugh at how stupid big his sweet potatoes are. Thank you for sharing ❤️
It was an unexpected surprise. Doesn't take much to amuse mw. Thanks for watching.
Not bored. I enjoyed watching.
Definitely was a big surprise. Thanks for watching.
I don’t comment often, but this video was so much fun to watch. I literally LOL’d at “Oh No!”
This was all a big surprise to me. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic harvest. Beautiful kids. Enjoy
That was a fun harvest. Thanks for watching.
How exciting! What a bounty! Fun to see how thrilled you were. I did not know we could grow sweet potatoes in our short growing season. I always thought they needed consistent heat over a long season. No one here grows them. I suspect those will be the most delicious sweet potatoes you've ever tasted. Growing in great compost is always key to flavor. Wow, but they are some serious effort to dig with that strong, dense, fibrous root system! I do know that *too much water and rain at the end of the season is the usual cause of splitting!* So you had so much rain at the wrong time. Still a huge Win Win though. Those lush vines will also make great compost for next year. I hope Mrs. URHC likes sweet potatoes. So many ways to use them in the kitchen. ENJOY!
That's what I thought up till now. Georgia Jets are 90 days and recommended for our area. Hard to believe a couple are almost 5 pounds. I was worried they would all be rotting in the ground from the rain. Maybe next year I will figure out how to grow pretty small potatoes that can be eaten in one sitting. Glad we really like them and some will get used in the dogs food. Now i have to figure out hoe to cure them so they store well. Thanks for watching.
This was an awesome video to watch. Each one of those larger spuds is a meal for two.
That 5 pounder fed us for a week. Thanks for watching.
We ain’t bored watching this treasure hunt. Now we know why we are so many as kids. Easy and prolific. In south Texas they grow them almost year round.
They cured up great and we ate them all winter. Thanks for watching.
What a haul. I can't wait for spring after seeing your success.
I had really good luck for my first try. Thanks for watching.
You should dig around the beds and wherever the plant set roots. There may be lots more hiding under the soil. Reminds me when I grew my first crop. Amazing harvest.
I am afraid to try that. Was a great experience for my first try. Thanks for watching.
This was the most fun I’ve had watching TH-cam in a while. So much fun. Chernobyl Potatoes!
Never seen any that big before. Was like digging for buried treasure. Thanks for watching.
It’s just as easy to make your own slips from one of your sweet potatoes next year. You would have to start them early. Couldn’t believe the footballs you pulled out of there. I’ve had some purple ones get pretty large but nothing still as big as those.
I tried this year but the store bought potatoes just rotted. Will try again next year with these. The one that was 4 pounds 10 1/2 oz will feed us for a week. I didn't expect any big ones. Hope they are good eating. Thanks for watching.
Great harvest!! Enjoyed the second camera, too. Thank you for the tip. Planting in compost.
That was a big surprise for the first try. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful video nice potatoes👍🙏
That was a great surprise. Thanks for watching.
Very good harvest. Enjoyed watching your adventure.
That was an amazing harvest. Thanks for watching.
Watching from Philippines! My dad is good at growing sweet potatoes, me and my sister is always excited to dig them up. Whe know it's ready coz we see it showing at cracks in the soil.. we love them boiled, fried or grilled. Never gets tired eating sweet potatoes all year round. Seeing u happy digging it out reminds me of our childhood. More sweet potatoes to grow 💖
That sure was fun digging them up. We enjoyed them all winter and this years crop just went in. TH-cam makes the world seem small. Thanks for watching.
I see some canning in your future! I dry them in the oven for dog treat.... He loves them
Not sure what to do with them all. have to cure them first. Thanks for watching.
it never gets boring.. I was cheering with each one you dug up! lol
That was a great first experience. Thanks for watching.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic great job !!! Bet they will be absolutley delicious!!!
I never expected this kind of harvest. Just have to cure them now to make them sweet. Thanks for watching.
Wow! that's a huge harvest of sweet potatoes! can make into sweet potato buns, sweet potato donuts, sweet potato soup, sweet potato bread, sweet potato and yam dessert, sweet potato pancake, roasted and steamed sweet potato, I love sweet potatoes. The more the merrier, you can use bread machine to bake sweet potatoes! Like always love your videos especially harvesting videos!🥰🥰🥰 By the way the leaves delicious is you fried with some chilly garlic and anchovies.
I see many pies and fries in my future. Thanks for watching.
Let’s not forget amazing sweet potato fries…
@@kmw4359 Oh yes! That too!🥰
What a great harvest, I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it. Was definitely a big surprise to me. Thanks for watching.
What fun!! Loved watching you dig for treasure. I watched till the end. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. There were many surprises for me. Thanks for watching.
That was FUN! I wasn’t bored at all, I like watching your potato harvesting.
It was definitely a big surprise to me. Thanks for watching.
I stumbled on your channel and really enjoyed watching you harvest your sweet potatoes they are beautiful and one of my favorite things to eat, if I were near you I would take some of your hands. Keep up the good work!
We definitely got lucky with our first try. They were very sweet after curing and stored well all winter. Thanks for watching.
Great video!
Your sweet potato harvest was amazing!
Thanks. We still are enjoying them. Can't believe how sweet they cured. Thanks for watching.
I have really enjoyed watching you pull out sweet potatoes out of your garden awesome harvest
It really surprised me. We still are enjoying them and they just keep getting sweeter from storage. Thanks for watching.
I loved watching this harvest. I'm sure i will watch it again. Great harvest.
I was expecting to dig a couple small potatoes like you see in the stores. Definitely never expected this. Thanks for watching
Hi URHC!! I know I have said this before but you are such an inspiration to growing your own food and storing for the winter. I appreciate all of the videos and you are a great teacher!! Thank you!! Have a great day!!
Wow, thank you! We just like knowing where our food comes from. Thanks for watching.
Your reaction is priceless!
Some pretty big surprises.
Beautiful potatoes I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
It was too much fun watching you dig these up😄 I haven't harvested mins yet, I grew some for the first time also. I can't wait to see what I get. Hope you keep me posted on what you plan to do with them and how you plan to store them.
Hope you have a good harvest. I am working on curing them so they turn sweet and will store well. Will make a video if it works. Thanks for watching.
This was entertaining to watch - your reaction to some of them was very funny. I also grew them for the first time - started my own slips so I am now anxious to harvest and see what I got. It is a rewarding plant to grow - very pretty and beneficial, above and below ground. Hope they are delicious to eat!
I hope you have a great harvest also. I tried starting slips from store bought potatoes and they rotted so I wound up buying some. Thanks for watching.
This has been fun and exciting for me even though I'm not there! I've had to watch it again. You can cann some of the ones that split. They would be good to add to the homemade dog food, casseroles, desserts, oh amd they do make good pasta as well.
Thanks. It was a big surprise. Definitely looking for ways to use them. Thanks for watching.
those greens can be sauteed, they're yummy, too.
That sounds good. Thanks for watching.
Amazing👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️
It was a great surprise. Thanks for watching.
Awesome harvest
A big surprise. Thanks for watching.
Wow what a sweet potato harvest! That is awesome!
I expected a couple small potatoes and this was a big surprise for me. Thanks for watching.
Hey are you digging from out of a bucket if so the deeper you go the bigger the sweet potato
That was so enjoyable..wow!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
How they get big if go over 90 days????
Use the vines and sweet potatoes leaves to feed the chicken and other farm animals. They will love it.
No other animals so I use them in my compost. Thanks for watching.
Loved the video!
Glad you enjoyed it! The harvest was a pleasant surprise and we have really been enjoying them. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on a spectacular harvest. Well done:-):-):-)
Thanks. I never expected anything like this. Can't wait to try them once cured. Thanks for watching.
Wow.."best sweet potato dig I’ve seen yet on TH-cam!! Congratulations!
Thanks. It was a big surprise. I only expected a couple smaller ones. Thanks for watching.
you had a great harvest!👍
I had no idea they grew like this. We are loving them. Thanks for watching.
Wow, what an amazing haul! We tried them once. We did what they said with black plastic on top of the mounds and everything and they were good but not very many sweet potatoes. Loved watching this!
What is black plastic for? seems like it would just make the water runoff and not get to the plants. Thanks for watching.
Wow amazing. I just started some sweet potato slips this year in a big container hopefully I will get some tubers I would be so happy already lol
You will find out when you dig them out. Hopefully you get a surprise like I did. Thanks for watching.
That was awesome :-) Not bored at all. You learn something every day :-)
It was a great harvest for the first try. Thanks for watching.
Looked like you were playing football!🏉😁 Well, you certainly got a workout and a great harvest! 👌
I think that's what dinosaur eggs looked like. I was hoping for a couple pounds total and It was a great surprise. Thanks for watching.
I love the leaves of sweet potatoes cook it to stir fried with garlic soya souce
We will have to try them sometime. Thanks for watching.
The big ones seem to be in the corners. I suspect it’s the temperature? This was really fun!
I think it was all the rain we had. We enjoyed them all winter and they kept getting sweeter. Thanks for watching.
Great job man hard work dude paid 👏 👍
Thanks. They were so easy to grow. Thanks for watching.
Love the way they look nice work there
Thanks. We enjoyed them all winter. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy growing this crop myself
Everybody gets splits. The commercial growers send them to canning plants etc where they get cut up so we don’t see them in the grocery store. You got a great harvest, Georgia Jets are a reliable staple each year.
I understand they are caused by wet weather after a dry spell and that's what this summer was. can't wait to cure and try them. Thanks for watching.
Sweet potatoes leaves is very good to eat.
Maybe next year we will try them. Thanks for watching.
Love your video. Splits will happen from excess water at the end of the season. I’ve learned that we have to stop watering them a month before harvest.
We had a month of rain everyday before the harvest. Thanks for watching.
Potato Rake Brother. Makes a good walking stick and an awesome back scratcher!
I will have to look for one. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy watching 👀while am resting from my whole day work as a housemaid
I got relaxing thanks for your nice video
I love 💘it watching from Philippines 🇵🇭💕💖
You are so welcome. TH-cam makes the world seem small. Thanks for watching.
Wow beautiful 😍 harvest would you have a Video of planning this?
Love watching you did for potatoes 👌😆
There is one earlier in this playlist. Thanks for watching.
Unbelievable - kudos to you on such an amazing harvest. Re: that last bed, now I know what I’ve been doing wrong. Next year, they are going in manure. 😁
I wouldn't use manure especially any that came from horses because the weed killer used on hay these days passes through them. I only use compost made from plant based materials that I know don't contain chemicals. If you know what's in your manure some can be mixed in and composted with everything else. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Huge & 6-8 from each plant? Unbelievable
I couldn't believe how big the harvest was. Thanks for watching.
Wow!!! See!!! A long time ago I found your video on ways to dehydrate zucchini and then I lost where I saved your video. I finally found you again woohoo! I subbed you yesterday sir. You made yourself a friend out here in south jersey! That was so fun to watch and thank you sir you inspired me and this was really exciting to see! I'm happy for you and your wonderful harvest!
Thanks. This harvest was a big surprise. My first try at growing sweet potatoes and I will definitely recommend others give it a try. Thanks for watching and subbing.
I see a lot of sweet potato pie in your future
And fries. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Next year 90 days minus one day for good luck!
Never imagined a couple extra days could lead to this. Pretty good for my first try and I learn a lot from my mistakes. Thanks for watching.
So 90 days is the sweet spot for harvesting the sweet potatoes I didn’t know you had to do so much for them to get sweet Great job
Georgia jets are 90 days and each variety has a different timetable. That's why these can be grown in the north. Thanks for watching
You can canning sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash. And if you roast them all together, you make this sauce throw over the vegetables it’s yummy. Olive oil, onions, peppers, garlic and tomato sauce, cooking each one of them for a few seconds before to add the next one! Enjoy!
Great idea! We roast big pans of root veggies all the time.
You must have had some great compost.
It's just from all the old vegetation and scraps from the garden. Doesn't cost anything and works great. Thanks for watching.
Good video Thank you God Bless
Thanks. That was an amazing harvest. Thanks for watching.
They are amazing roasted!,
They sure are. I like them fried also. Thanks for watching.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Woah! I hope you love sweet taters like I do. I wish I had one of those giant beauties to have for breakfast right now
They were amazing. Even the big ones were nice and tender. Made lots of sweet potato fries. Thanks for watching
I like the big ones that are about a pound and a half or two pounds each. I like to get them done and mix butter and sour cream.
We cut the big ones up into cubes and roasted them. They were very sweet. Thanks for watching.
Looks like you got a great harvest. Your potatoes split from too much water at the end of the growing cycle. I'm just now harvesting mine this week from last year. I don't water mine if we have frequent rain. They really don't need a lot of water to produce nice tuber's.
We had a very rainy season with several inches of rain for a couple weeks before the harvest that probably didn't help. They all taste the same so in the end the cracks didn't matter. Thanks for watching.
The new vines and leaves the tender end can be cook with adobo receipe, instead of meat use the vines and leaves
Sounds like a great use for them. I make compost from mine. Thanks for watching.
Pour out the sweet potatoes in a shady place and let them dry off, but wash them off first. Let them have about three or four hours in the shade.
I set up a grow tent with heat and humidity to cure them in another video and thet came out very sweet. Thanks for watching.
Wow Sugoi
Thanks for watching.
We're not bored.. They freeze well, in lots of different ways.
Also, trying curing some to use during the next 4-5 months and you won't even need to touch the frozen ones til they run out. You'll have potatoes until NEXT fall
I cured them all an a follow up video and we are really enjoying them. Thanks, I didn't think about freezing some. Thanks for watching.
Wow I am happy for you. Excellent harvest. Please tell me what the name of the compost you purchased. Your potato size was consistent. Your football potato was awesome. Wonderful attitude and harvest. I hope you enjoy them. Good job.
Thanks. I make some of my own compost and the rest I buy from Vermi-Green www.vermigreen.com/ . They were very good . Thanks for watching .
These are the biggest sweet potatoes I have ever seen.
One will feed us for a week. Never knew they could get this big. Thanks for watching.
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.
We had nothing but excessive rain all summer. Never stopped. They all are amazingly sweet after curing so cracks don't mater if you're not growing them to sell. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I was wondering if you all canned any of them. Those cracks make it more difficult to peel.
No. we just roast them and the skins slide right off.
Next year, try curing by cutting the vines of at ninety days but leav the sweet potatoes in the ground for 110 days thats how we cure potatoes here in sweden.
I read that that could cause rot. After cutting the vines they must be dug within a couple days. Wonder if you grow different varieties. I have them curing in my grow tent now. TH-cam makes the world seem small. Thanks for watching.
Good job! Save some money and grow your own slips.
I tried but they all rotted. I think the problem is I used store bought potatoes that may have been treated to keep them from sprouting. Next year I will try with my own potatoes. Thanks for watching.
You ain't never lied
Mister, one should never use a pitch fork when digging potatoes. You end up stabbing too many!
I eat them first. Even a shovel cuts them in half. Thanks for watching.
