- These are the most versatile and satisfying vegetable to grow in our backyard years in and out. The tender shoots/leaves taste amazing in stir fry and there is just no other feeling like it digging for sweet potatoes tuber with your own bare hand not knowing what you will get!

Your excitement is contagious ☺️ I really enjoyed this video
🤣🤣🤣
Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Great harvest. Enjoyed watching your excitement.
Nice harvest, Nat! Love that you paused bcuz you wanted to share the joy with your kids. ❤
I am so feeling your excitement..
Great harvest! Those others needed more time. Here we keep them in-ground for up to 180 days depending on variety
Man I love the fact that you're excited. I am too. (love from Nigeria 🇳🇬)
Haha thanks brother! You just never know what you get with sweet potatoes each and every year. Always a joy!
Amazing. I’m sure you have some at the bottom of the container. There has to be. Great to see the nice potatoes.
What a wonderful Harvest. I would love to see your children in your wife's eyes when they look at with their dad is done. God bless you honey and the Beautiful potatoes and your family
You ended up getting a nice harvest. Your soil looks great!
The container grown slips apparently had WAY too much nitrogen fertilization. That is the most common failure point with sweet potatoes. They are not heavy nitrogen feeders and when too much is present, they make vines instead of tubers.
Question: is there any low nitrogen soil that you know of?
You are just a proud gardener with great success harvesting your sweet potatoes. I give you two thumbs up 👍 and a happy face for it😊.
I agree should dump the container to see what was at bottom
Wow they look soooo beautiful and you did a fantastic job..I'm very happy for you little kid in a candy store❤🤗🤗🤗🎉🎉🎉😁👍
You should have dump the container so you can see whats at the bottom.
I dumped the rest of soil out to recycle the soil to use for next year. Unfortunately there was a bunch of tiny roots with not a single potato sighh.
@@natbackyardgarden What I normally do is NOT cut the sweet potato leaves. But dump out the container to check if Swete potatoes have grown
If only very small, or just thick roots like what you had put it all back into the container and allow it to grow for another few months.
Try to limit the growth of the leaves once they spread out enough so the plant puts it energy into producing swete potato and not more leaves
Calling a spade a spade , that , my friend , is a garden fork . Love your videos .
Haha I actually caught myself when I called it a spade but it was getting dark fast so to heck with it. Most of my clips are in one take Haa. Thank you more vids on the way!
Haha when you got a busy family it’s always in one take man. Congrats on your harvest we had an ok one but I realized they need a lot of water. Next year will be better.
@@BoomsBlooms yes thanks! These containers were perhaps in the hottest spot of the yard...and with the extreme heat this year, maybe it was too much for them. Will try again in a different location and perhaps experiment with watering more/less.
It's a potato fork or graip
Awesome. Happy for you
The severe drought here in ark. Zone 7 really stunted the growth of mine
Plant in the ground is the best
Damn!! Your neighbors.
You got a good harvest. But use almost NO nitrogen next year. You'll get less leaves, and more roots.
Thanks for the tip! That’s what my mom told old me also haha. The soil perhaps was too heavily amended with the good stuff.
enjoyed this video.
Nice
Good , good
I was hoping you would dumped the container out..

What magic did you use in the garden crop? Congrats!
Awesome!!!💓💓💓
Congratulations on a wonderful harvest! Well done!
Good job 🥰
Lack of sunlight
These large container were in an area with almost full direct sunlight during the day. Will try again next season with a few in different area of the yard.
Good Job Nat
it's cool
Im doing orange sweet potatoes ATM, i really want to grow purple 1s. They look so good.
That fellow does love 'im some sweet tator! The container- you probably gave it nitrogen fertilize would be my guess. Try again woth P&K.
Yes sir, that is what I am doing this year to about 6 containers tub. Can't wait to show the results with much less nitrogen!
Very happy you got some nice sweet potatoes. Im growing some in big containers right now, I hope I got some taters too! Im a bit worried now!
Haha good luck! That's what make it so fun. If you see a lot of vines from that container......then i'll pray for ya lol.
@@natbackyardgarden Thank you! Great video! God Bless you!
God bless you and your family in Jesus Mighty Name Amen🙏❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤😁
so on already.
Hey Nat, I am in Canyon and can't find sweet potato slips anywhere. Do you grow your own or is there a place you like to order them?
Oh hey that's awesome, we are also residing in Canyon now! I grow them from slips from our previous year sweet potatoes harvest, but I got it started a few years ago by ordering them on ebay from mostly Florida sellers.
Its potato!
I'm in Amarillo, I have some sweet potatoes that I bought from Sam's a while back. I'm attempting to grow my own slips from them and plant in ground. Any tips for success??
Hi! Yes I will have a few tips for ya. For our area do not even attempt to plant them until the temperature is much warmer in May. If you are planting in ground, then a raised bed would be ideal. If in ground then make sure to till the soil and make it very loose and sort of raised it up as a soil berm. They will do well when planted in a compost mixed soil, but make sure not to feed it with any type of heavy nitrogen fertlizer in the early stages. Fertilizer low in nitrogen and high in phosphorus will be ideal.
if not sprouting slips, put on heat mat that worked for me.
