Anyone else love the word “whipper-snipper? Way better than “weed-whacker”.

First time growing sweet potatoes for food. The Pandemic isn't giving us a break from high prices, and the stores are jacking up our food bill.<br> I see it this way, if anyone can grow sweet potatoes it's this 72 year-old woman. My family needs food, and I'm not going to sit back and wish I could help. I see it this way, at least I'm trying to provide. My huge backyard just became a new Victory Garden. Forget the rules of planting ..just get it in the ground and see what grows. My grandchildren need to learn how to grow food, and granny needs to show them how easy it can be to feed our family. God be with you all...get out there and grow something.

Americans need to start using the term “whipper snipper” instead of “weed eater” haha I love it

My grandfather taught me a great trick for picking/harvesting. He taught me to snip each vine, leaving a good foot of vine still in the soil so I can see where the potatoes will be. Then I carefully dig down with a shovel, a few feet away, and pretty soon I'll see where the bunches are. <br>I always save enough potatoes through the winter and start my slips in the spring. I don't think I've bought slips for about 10 years because I just keep growing, getting slips, and so on.

The sweet potato leaves are amazingly sweet. Here in Zambia we eat the leaves all year round. The more you harvest, the more it grows.

My mum grows sweet potato in a shallow self made raised garden bed and harvests the leaves for stir fry. She doesn't bother harvesting the roots at all. She managed to be completely self sufficient for fruit and vege in her tiny garden that's smaller than most retirement cottage equivalents.
