@praterclp I finally dug up my sweet potatoes last month. OMG!!! There were SO MANY of them and 3 of them were as big and long as a 2-liter!

@MarshmallowVogt Slips are the little plants you get from another sweet potato or your can order slips (however I have found they come in groups of 25 and that is way to many for me) so I just buy a sweet potato at the store and grow the slips on it. Some people call it the eyes of the potatoes.

@soilfit I love them more than regular potatoes (except I really like new/red potatoes). It is amazing what you can get from a couple of slips.

@JesusChrist5000 Yeah I can't wait to see if I get anything this year. Our weather is ultra hot and most of my garden is dead. Good luck on yours.

@bnbob01 Who knows that may have been a freak of nature that I got that harvest. I am trying the potatoes in a differnet location and I don't have hardly the greenery that I had last year. Maybe it could be 100 temps we have had for over 60 days in a row. Will do a vidoe of the potatoes this year. Don't think I will get much if anything. Good luck.

Awesome! I can't wait . I hope mine turn out like that.
Amazing! I wish I'd chance upon this video before I planted my sweet potatoes in the ground!
My regular potatoes are grwon in 5 gallon buckets though. Thanks for sharing the video!

@Elfinworld I just don't have the room for them in the ground or I would always do it that way, plus I had digging in the earth to get my root vegetables becasue where I am at we have rocky clay soil and digging is really impossible if the area has not been ameneded for a very long time. Good luck on your potatoes.

People who don't garden don't believe that gardening is some EXERCISE! You were workin' on gettin' those potatos! Go Girl! That was a great haul! I'm late in the year to start but I'm giving sweet potatoes a try after watching this. TFS

@ShePreps2 I totally agree, it is a work out, both planting and harvesting. The maintaing can be rough too, but I love it just the same. I tell people try gardening for a bit and you will break into a sweat and be sore the next day or two.
