Vegetable Gardening : How to Grow Sweet Potatoes

[jimmie200]

This guy really explains things thoroughly. He makes growing vegetables easy for that reason.

[fibifibula]

oh, that was not a good tutorial at all. he´s leaving out lots of crucial information!

[gardengreentheworld]

@fibifibula jealous much? dont hate on the Jarret.

[satellitetune]

[IfunyunsI]

[exclamation3mark]

dont the tubars get tougher as the season goes on? Leaving the plant in till frost seems too long a season

[AlboGirl212]

When you pull the sweet potato slips can you reuse them if yes how long can they stay without being planted and where do you keep them when not being used?

thanks

@quietsong777 I guess I planted too many because they are overtaking my garden. Can I run the vines along the fence

[dbztiki]

@68Abba Reply to a month old post . LOL. You could trim the vines just try not to cut the rooted vines.

[GeneandCassandra]

Jarrett, thanks for the great information. We're growing sweet potatoes for the first time here in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama, and we're eager to see how they turn out.

Thanks again!

Hmmmmm, ferilizer? Disease? Rotation? Where do you buy slips?

I planted a 100 foot row of Beauregard sweet potatoes 97 days ago today. I have dug under them in about 3 or 4 places just to see if I could find any, but each search has been fruitless. Am I not giving them enough time, or am I perhaps looking in the wrong place. What do 'you' suggest??

[Snittster]

thanks for posting, this is very helpful

[ouhouhcflo]

Hi,

I would have been even more thankful to learn what makes you understand that is the time to harvest and if the frost is passed before you harvest them, if the potatoes will be lost or still good if you harvest just after the frost?!

When there is a flower, does that mean that one potato or a group of potatoes will be perhaps growing under the plant?

thanks

[muktismom]

just want to add that i did plant from slips - that's why i'm confused. sounds like what i planted,..

[muktismom]

gosh - are those really sweet potatoes? or yams...

i am growing the true white ones.

everyone confuses the true sweet potato (white) with the orange yam.

those look like yams.

thanks for posting. a reply is appreciated very much!

[dewinmoonl]

erm yams is actually something completely different. check wiki

[growitlikegranddad]

"true" sweet potatoes? There are many kinds of sweet potatoes, and all colors from white to pink to orange to dark red. The true "yam" plant looks NOTHING like this and is a native of Africa (it's a woody bush). These are definitely sweet potatoes. All sweet potatoes have leaves like these, kind of spade or heart shaped. The yam plant is much more upright and is VERY rarely grown in the western hemisphere (the Americas)

[muktismom]

thanks for the clarification - my sweet potatoes have spade leaves.

AND BTW - I searched a lot of places for information.

[OS253]

Potatoes are potatoes. It doesn't matter if they're white or red. They're both potatoes! Which ones I prefer? I like them all! I eat them year round.

[FREDLOXWON]

didnt you get schooled on potatoes on another tutorial?

[leesie1984]

@OS253potatoes are potatoes? hardy. sweet potatoes are way better for you than the stardard potato. incomparable

[OS253]

@leesie1984 : I respect your opinions. But all the potatoes are the same to me. Some are sweet and some are plain with no flavor like the standard kind. Do you have a veggie garden? I grow my own potatoes. They all look the same. That's how I come to conclusion that all potatoes are the same. Thanks for replying.

[bohemiangrove]

@OS253 a sweet potatoes is not an potato. They just call it sweet potato
