In KY, planted 3 varieties last weekend of May, planning on digging them up this weekend. Digging for SP’s is like a Christmas gift, these are a surprise with their shapes and sizes. Beauregard have been great, growing a Japanese purple and Georgia Jet for the first time.

Hello brother! Your sweet potatoes look amazing! The roots are so big and there are so many of them. Sweet potatoes are such a healthy and nutritious crop.<br>I’ve been following your videos and really enjoy the things you share. I’m looking forward to seeing more from you!<br>Greetings from Vietnam! 😊

Haven't grown Purple Majesty but I've grown Stoke's Purple for about 5 years and they yield very well.

I grew sweet potatoes for the first time in a very long time. I didn’t remember much about how to grow them, so I watched a lot of YT videos and so many said they got their best harvest by not fertilizing. My harvest wasn't great but I do attribute it mostly to our severe drought along with record heat here in Oklahoma and me not keeping up with watering them. I learned a lot and a vetter harcest next year.

Just pulled our SP from our 100 gallon tank, grown in potting mix. We got a nice big tater harvest…was glad the rain stopped so they could cure..

I've heard some other gardeners say that if we prune the sweet potato vines, the plant will put more energy into growing the roots. I wonder if the pests eating on the leaves acted kinda like pruning?? Great video, with lots of good info I will put to good use next yr.

Yours did better than mine did. I was having to water on city water through this extreme drought and it was costing me more than what I would have to pay for them at the store. This past season I bought 2 boxes of really nice sweet potatoes for $20 at a local market. I baked a bunch of them and froze them for later use. I like to use the big ones for pies, muffins and pancakes. I like the small ones for sweet potato fries.

I planted mine July 4 so next week I get to "do a little scratching around" Friday to see if I am ready to harvest the 90 day variety.

I planted my 2 varieties in mid May. Still himming and hawing on when to harvest. The vines have been terrific ground cover, but drowned my herbs, peanuts, and flowers. Central Texas, 8b.
