I grew up canning hundreds of qts of green beans every year, still do a ton, and Mama Hoss is RIGHT! There's no sense in cutting corners and risking giving botulism to your family! Love yalls show...especially corn sappin!
Congratulations on your 200th episode of the best dad-gum garden show anywhere!! Keep them coming. That old goat is hiding behind big hoss behind the cherry tomatoes.
Thanks, John!
Mama Hoss is correct about canning. The old goat is behind the cherry tomatoes behind big Hoss.
I start all my sweet potato slips myself because most of the time the ones in my kitchen volunteer sprouts so I just let them do their thing and then pot up the sprouts and let them develop in pots while it is still too cold to put them in the ground. I've been growing the Japanese sweet potato that has the reddish skin and antique white flesh for several years at my former homestead. I love that sweet potato, I think it tastes like roasted chestnuts. Years ago some that I had bought from Asian grocery store to eat had started sprouting so I rooted each sprout individually in small pots and kept up potting them until I finally decided to make a bed with a trellis and grow them not just for the root but also for the greens. I had watched AsianGarden2Table for years, she trellises hers; I decided to try her method and it is the way I continue to grow them and my other regular sweet potatoes such as the Beauregard. Up here at my new homestead in northwest Florida I have an archway over the ramp that goes up to my garden shed and I prepared a bed next to the trellis so my Japanese sweet potato can grow up the side of the trellis. I do that with my other sweet potato varieties and just dot them around my landscape in areas where there is a fence or I make a trellis for them. The greens are wonderful in salads as a hot weather green they are versatile because they can be stir fried or cooked like spinach or added to an omelet, the uses are many. The greens stay much cleaner growing on a trellis and I get two crops; the greens and the root-tuber.
Also want to mention difference in sweet potatoes and yams; they aren't even in the same family. Sweet potatoes are in the same family as Morning-Glories, Family: Convolvulaceae, Genus: Ipomoea. Whereas the true Yam is in the Family Dioscoreaceae, Genus dioscorea spp.
Love the soapbox rant. Exactly what needed to be said. I do some rebel canning but only with tested ingredients. Better safe than sick. Bravo mama Hoss
I grow my own slips. Just build a hot box and bury them and when the vines grow out, break them off at the potato and then cut off about a half inch from the bottom of the slip to get rid of any diseases that may be present and pull off the lower leaves so you got a long stem to stick in the ground...
Here in the mountains of New England in the middle of nowhere I’m trying to fix up an old cabin. I’m 22 trying to stay out of big cities where day by day gets harder and dangerous to live. Just started my channel and let’s see how it goes. Stay safe and work hard to make your life better bc politicians will never care about us.
Experience counts moma Hoss! Preach! The old goat is on the cherry tomatoes
Thank you mama hoss! I appreciate and applaud you for sharing canning and the SAFE way to do it. Everyone should ALWAYS follow the usda guidelines for home canning.
You two are such a great pair. I love watch Row by Row. I have learned so much from watching your shows. And I have become an okra fan because of you. Thanks for all your expertise.
Awesome! Thank you!
Sweet potatoes as dessert sounds good to me!
Loved those sunflowers! The Ol' Goat is hiding behind the tomatoes above Greg on the the top shelf.
Right on Mama Hoss!!!
Mama Hoss you are absolutely correct!! I’ve had the same problem on my channel with my green bean canning channel. It’s all about SAFETY!! Great video! Love the sweet potato tips! Thanks so much for sharing. God bless y’all❤️
Old goat is on shelf behind Hoss hiding behind the tomatoes. 😎
Last year I bought Georgia Jet slips from the tater man and they were good. Small but dark dark red. Also, kudos mama Hoss. New canners should seek USDA guidelines for canning. Botulism is deadly...Love y'all 🥰
He is behind Mr. Hoss holding the tomatoes next to the little pumpkin. I got my sweet potatoes in the day before you Mr. Hoss in South Alabama. Same zone as yall. PS. I grew my own slips.
The leaves of the sweet potatoes are sweet and tender like spinach. I sauteed with garlic and butter! Yum, you will lov them!
Sounds delicious!
You tell those roulette-canner commentors just because they have not gotten sick yet doesn't mean they are right!! Listen to Mama Hoss and heat those beans to 240!
I’m from NE Oklahoma and I discovered Georgia Jets sweet potatoes. I searched the internet for the slips, I was so excited to get them in the mail. We planned them in our black soil. 90 plus days later, OMG !!! The best tasting sweet potatoes I’ve ever had!!!! They grow well here. Thanks so much for the info, we’ve been growing them now since we heard about them with y’all and from Danny at Deep South Homestead. Best ever 😃
Congrats on 200 videos. Thanks for sharing Fried Okra recipe.
Thanks, Karen! Appreciate the support.
I grow my slips from grocery store sweet potatoes, same with regular potatoes
I plant all purple sweet potatoe slips from my own sweet taters(prior years potatoes) and plant in 15gal root pouch. I only fertilize prior to planting, then they act like a cover crop. Water only if needed. I harvest them in Oct and get huge potatoes. Zone 7B/6A border.. then I can them after they've cured. Yes use a pressure canner according to USDA recomendations. Blessings.
I love adding sweet potatoes to my biscuit mix and my focossia bread delicious 😋
That sounds great, Sue!
You are absolutely right with the canning!
I bought a six pack of sweet potatoes at a local store and planted them in mid April . The vines grew 5-6 feet long and I trimmed them a little to keep them from completely taking over and I decided I would put them in water to see what would happen . Every single one of them grew roots and I planted them out last week and they’ve grown fast since then . Now I have about 40 plants . I never knew it was so easy to propagate them . I may even try to take a few cuttings this fall before I dig them and try to keep them over the winter in the house just in case we can’t get them next spring .
Moms Hoss is correct.
Another Great show! The old goat is looking through the tomatoes between the scale and the gourd. Thanks again for a very informative show yall.
Planted sweet potatoes for the first time this year. Old goat behind Greg and the cherry tomatoes
I would love to see more canning recipes from mama hoss!!
Thanks for standing your ground about pressure canning your green beans. I'm one of the newbies and appreciated your video showing how to do it. Thanks, Mama Hoss. ❤️
Love the show! Old goat is trying to hide in the cherry tomatoes.
I planted sweet potatoes for the first time this year. I tried the purple all the way through variety. My Irish potatoes are doing great, too. They are doing well in spite of the cool temps and heavy rain.
I have my green blaze beans in, I started late but they are starting to bloom now! I cant wait!
Picked my 1st batch of HOSS Olympian Cucumbers today. Sliced some up and my kids put them away. Man they were good. Right off the vine, cool and refreshing snack.
Ole goat is 3rd shelf behind Greg. Nestled among the cherry tomatoes.
Ron VanNess
I agree Mama Hoss. If the beans were precooked hot water bath may work but all raw pack needs pressure cooked for canning safety.
Behind Greg, Old goat is on the top shelf holding a bunch of what look like tomatoes.
Loved your rant and you’re so right to teach the “newbies” the right way to can. The old goat is behind the tomatoes on the shelf behind Greg between the egg scale and the gourd.
Thanks!!
Enjoyed the information on the slips. The old goat it on third shelf by the bunch of tomatoes.
I eat sweet potatoes in these ways, traditional baked with butter and sugar in the oven, microwaved and cut up in a sweet salad greens with poppyseed dressing, fries and mashed potato style with brown sugar, butter and roasted pecans added.
You will like the purple sweet potatoes I bet. They are delicious! I do buy my slips from the Potato Man. Always good products!
Good to know! :)
Congratulations. Getting ready to plant my own slips so great timing. Old goat is behind Boss between the egg grader and mini pumpkin.
Well happy 200th, I love the rant 😎first year growing sweet potatoes down here and 10b.Plants took off like crazy in there in a raised bed covering everything, although a lot of the leaves are very least up with holes. I sprayed them with some spin aside, but I did find a small snail on one of the leaves thinking that might be my issue. Hopefully get them under control and have a halfway decent harvest.
thanks for the video - the old goat is behind the old goat lol on the shelf by the pumpkin and behind the red fruit.
Get em mama Hoss
My sweet potatoes are not producing slips, from what you said I must have started too late. Thanks for sharing where i can buy some, along with all the other great information!
Old goat in under that cluster of tomatoes.
I grow Hawaiian sweet potatoes called: Molokai Sweet Potato is a purple-fleshed& skin type. The place I bought the slips no longer Carrie’s them. I also grow an orange one but I have no idea what it’s called. I bought the original organic sweet potato from a local farmers market.
I just microwave my sweet potato for 5 minutes and serve it with butter and s&p. Serve along side a ribeye steak and a nice green salad.
Planted 2 kinds of corn from you guys this year as I am slowly learning to grow a years worth of certain crops. It was onions and garlic in the winter/spring ( im in texas) and it's corn for the summer! I usually grow my own sweet potato slips but I bought a bunch this year. Just trying to increase food growth/storage in general! Love watching you guys, learn so much! Happy planting!
That is awesome!
I grew the purple variety you mentioned last year and it was the second best producer for me. Delicious and a good keeper.
Wonderful!
Great advice Momma Hoss - definitely sound advice. Pressure canning is how I was taught to can green beans too.
*old goat hiding in the cherry tomato bunch by the pumpkin!
Cannot wait to try the fried okra trick...ty
I found the Old Goat behind Boss Hoss’s head between the egg weigher and the pumpkin, hiding behind the tomatoes.
I'm growing Beauregard and Georgia Jet this year. I got the Georgia jets from Steele. Glad you hit on pests, something is making swiss cheese of the leave. I like to get roots started before I plant them.
I love sweet potato pie. Just like pumpkin pie but sweet potato instead.
I agree you need to pressure can green bean .Follow the guidelines for beans it says pressure can .Why take a chance making someone sick .
The old goat is under the cherry tomatoes on the top shelf. Sweet potato fries (NO seasoning) dipped in honey is my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes!!!
Dessert for sure
Thanks for the info. I’m growing sweet potatoes for the first time this year. I bought my slips from Steele Plant Co. I’m growing Vardaman because they are a bush variety, and I grow in raised beds. I’m hoping for a great harvest. They were all planted out yesterday.
Great show. Really want to try some sweet potatoes one of these days. Old goat hiding behind the cherry tomatoes
The Ol' Goat is behind the tomatoes
Thanks, Hoss for another great show. I always learn so much from you both.
I see the old goat behind the cherry tomatoes on the top shelf behind Greg.
Can.t believe you picked my name. I grow sweet potatoes in containers. The last two years have nutrias feed on the the vines and had small potatoes. This year hope I have fixed the problem and have a good harvest. I like mine baked with butter and brown sugar. The old goat is one the shelf holding cherry tomato's.
:) We appreciate you watching! Be sure to send us an email!!
Thank you both I’m planting my slips this weekend so I hope you get the next sweet potato 🍠 video out this is my first time and the goat is on the shelf holding cherry tomatoes 🍅 thank you again 👍🏻 I love sweet potato cook any way but my favorite is sweet potato fried dipped in butter 🧈 😋
I loved how you stood your ground. My Grandma and mom say the same thing about canning. the old goat is hiding behind Mr. hoss holding up some cherry tomatoes. Congratulations on 200 episode.
First time watching you!! I subscribed too. Very interesting about sweet potatoes. I'm planting this year. I'm trying in raised box bed. I ordered and rec'd some of those Japanese sweets you mentioned Greg!! It's the Myanmar Purple. I also got the Korean gold and the Lilac Beauty. Will see how they work out. The OLD GOAT is behind the tomatoes behind Greg 's head. Thanks for the video!! It caught my attention about sweet potatoes.
The old goat is sitting on top of the cherry tomatoes located on the shelf behind Greg
Beautiful sunflowers! Can’t wait until mine bloom. Old goat behind the cherry tomatoes 🐐
The old goat is on the shelf under the very top on the left in the cherry tomato bunch.
You all are awesome and very informative! I’ve started my first garden this year and have been binge listening to the episodes. Can’t thank you all enough! The old goat is on the shelf behind Mr. Hoss hiding in some cherry tomatoes.
Thanks
I am growing sweet potatoes for the first time this year so this video was perfectly timed. I know that I have issues with rootknot nematodes so I chose the yellow jewel sweet potatoes because they are supposed to be resistant. So far so good in zone 7b. The old goat is behind the cherry tomatoes above Mr. Hoss on the shelf.
Grandmother recipe take a day old sweet potato slice about 1/4" chip and fye in oil. Fry till caramelized and eat like candy. Yum
I just planted my Murasaki sweet potato slips. I've tasted them so good and buttery without butter.
Old goat is holding the cherry tomatoes, on the shelf to the left. “Yams” was coined by sweet potato growers in Opelousas, Louisiana. No difference just a sweet potato.
The old goat is behind Greg on the first shelf buy the pumpkin.
We have grown beauregard in northern Mo for 20 yrs, keeping our own stock going. They store in the basement with good quality at least 9 mon. here. We plant mid may, harvest right before frost. I think 9lb was the largest one we grew.
I grow the white varieties that arnt sweet as much...and use them like Irish potatoes and they taste like an Irish potato because they are lower sugar...so garlic butter chives. glorious
the orange sweet varieties
the best way I've found to eat sweet taters that will make any sweet potatoes hater into a lover is
Normal size sweet tater mashed up( remove skin) with a table spoon or 2 of peanut butter with 2 or 3 dashes of cinnamon...ooooo you'll never go back. my family calls it sweet potato smush and its the best!
I agree with momma hoss!! Even if some things are "acceptable" to water bath I still tend to pressure can, just to be sure. (Edit to add the goat) found behind cherry maters.
Old goat, top left shelf behind the cherries.
Fried sweet potato hash with onions, bell peppers, garlic, whatever seasonings and salt to taste. You have to add some cayenne. Top it with a runny fried egg. That is the best.
Agree. Always follow PROVEN canning guidelines
Old goat is behind the white flowers on bottom shelf behind hoss,I think...lol
Thank you
Congratulations on 200!! Best dadgum show on the internet or anywhere! Pretty sure I've seen them all, and enjoyed every one! Get em' Mama Hoss! I agree completely on pressure canning those beans! You need that 240-242 temp that's only attainable with a pressure canner. Period. Paragraph. End of story. No matter how long you boil water you ain't getting more than 212 degrees out of it! Do folks water bath green beans, sure, but it is just not recommended at all. Ok, I'm off the soapbox now too! Follow the rules folks, it's botulism you're dealing with here. Beautiful, beautiful sunflowers!! Ok, here's the skinny on those sweet taters vs. yams: Sweet potatoes belong to the morning glory family of plants, called the Convolvulaceae family. Yams belong to a different family, called Dioscoreaceae. For practical purposes, sweet taters are lighter, sweeter, fluffier. You won't get a very appetizing yam souffle without some serious help. Yams are drier, starchier, and denser. Yams are tubers, like taters, sweet potatoes are roots.
Thanks for the yam lesson
@@gardeningwithhoss I will admit to having to "cheat" to get those proper names right. I remembered they were different families and that sweet taters were in the morning glory family, but did NOT remember the family names. I paid attention in class, but that was a LONG time ago! ;)
Sweet potato pudding with the white potatoes. Jamaican recipe that taste best with cornmeal added. My mom use to make it outside on a coal pot with fire on top and on the bottom. Nice dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I’ve never planted sweet potatoes before. Tried sourcing slips locally here in Central Texas but no luck. Our family doesn’t really eat them much but wanted to give them a try this year.
Edit: Just ordered some from the Steele Plant Company that you mentioned. Thanks!
I’m on my second year. I grow my slips in dirt, from potatoes from the store and from potatoes I grew last year.
Momma hoss try making sweet potato chips. Any way a sweet potato is made is good. My fave is baked I like it with butter. Momma hoss I like how you told them people to back off and leave tried and true alone especially involving canning safe to eat foods.
The Old goat is next to the pumpkin holding tomatoes
Doing my first attempt to pressure can beans this weekend, and put some sweet potato slips in the ground earlier this month. 12 slips of O'Henry variety in 9B, though I think only about 7 of that 12 have survived.
Real nice!
Old goat is on the shelf to the left, second one down, holding tomatoes.
I mash my sweet potatoes and make scones with cinnamon and a little brown sugar. Are good with a little honey for breakfast.
Our worst pest on sweet taters tend to be deer 😄 Love Mama Hoss' canning videos! Old goat is top shelf, behind Mr.Hoss, and behind cherry tomatoes.
My okra is finally starting to give off okra 😁 only got 1 but looking forward to a bunch more
Baked with butter. Or mashed with butter. Cubed and Fried with onions with a fried egg over the top.
Tell em Mama Hoss, there's a lot of bad info on canning out there!!! I'm a year or so older them ya'll, born and raised here in rural Louisiana and growing and raising our own food is a way of life for us, alot of these Homestead channels you see on TH-cam are laughable, a few chickens, a couple of garden plants,, advice on most things they heard from somewhere else, and a whole bunch of merchandise and links to buy stuff from their site.🤣🤣🤣.. I'll stick with what I've learned from blood ,sweat and tears first hand.. Old Goat hiding behind the cherry tomatoes. ✌🏻
The old goat is on the cherry tomatoes. 🐐 I also have a recipe for the sweet potatoes. Peel and dice into bite size pieces. Toss in olive oil, kosher salt, cinnamon, and a little paprika or cayenne,. Roast on 425 til tender.
Ole goat is by the egg scale holding/ behind the tomatoes
Momma Hoss don’t worry about the haters!
I agree it’s the sweet potato fries
The old goat is behind the tomatoes on the shelves on the left. I planted my sweet taters last Saturday.
