 get out of here please. Hi there, welcome to Little Garden on the Prairies. So I decided today was the day to do a harvest of my sweet potato plant. So way back in January I purchased a couple sweet potatoes and grew some slips off of them, got them rooted in water, got them planted in some dirt. This grew in my grow tent for a couple months and then I moved it outdoors here in the spring. So it's been sitting on my patio looking like a nice patio plant here. I'm not too optimistic that there's actually going to be any sweet potatoes but apparently it takes about 180 days normally and these have been growing since January so we're at I mean six, seven months already. So we are just going to dump them into my wagon here and see if we get any sweet potatoes. Henderson, you want to come help me? Okay, the dog's going to have to get restrained. He's here to help me with the reveal today. He also has been helping me harvest our regular potatoes. He's been a big help in my garden all summer long. So he's excited to help me out here today to see if we get any sweet potatoes. Okay, you want to go on stand on the other side? So I guess we'll just dump it out into this wagon here and we will see if there's any potatoes. Okay, potatoes. So these are sweet potatoes, not the same as the other potatoes. Do you want to just try pulling one out maybe and see what happens first? Just grab that and give it a tug. See if there's anything there. They're kind of like a root I think that wraps around. Hmm, not seeing anything yet. We'll pull it out. Oh, oh, look at here. You know what that is? It's a sweet potato. Do you think we can get much of a meal out of that? No potatoes. No potatoes? These are sweet potatoes. They're a little bit different. Ah, no potatoes, eh? This is the biggest plant. Maybe we'll get something out of here. Can you pull? Oh, whoops. No potatoes. There's a potato right there. Do you think that looks like a potato? Sweet potato. Sweet potato. We got one more plant here. Let's give it a try. Okay. Uh-oh. We'll try dumping out the dirt. Maybe there's more. Oh, I think I've seen one. Wow. Pull that one out. That's pretty good. Where's the potatoes? Let's see. Where's a pretty good one? No potatoes. Those are potatoes. I'm actually very surprised that they are growing way down here. Way down here? Yeah. I think we'll be able to cook these up tonight. Here, I'll just dump the whole thing. Wow. Look at it. There's all sorts of weird things going down here. A big one. Let's rip this apart. Okay. My potato. Yep. Cool thing. Interesting. Oh, yeah. Look at, oh. This is the winner, I think. A big one. That's a big one. Yeah, a two one. Oh, there's another one. Another one. Pretty good size one there. Okay. Well, let's put all of our potatoes together here. Grab all the potatoes, put them in a pile. So, here is a look at the final harvest of our sweet potatoes that we grew just in a pot this size. So, they're not super big, but it was just an experiment that I wanted to try. Growing sweet potatoes in a cold climate is pretty challenging because they need a long growing time and they like lots of heat, but I would say this is successful. So, if you ever want to try growing them in a container, probably a bigger container would produce some bigger sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes? What do you think? We'll take these indoors and try cooking them up. So, after giving these a good scrubbing, I just took some olive oil, salt and pepper, some paprika, stirred it all up and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes and they roasted up really good. So, we gave Henderson the first chance at the taste test and he refused to eat them, but I tried them in some sriracha mayo dip and they were delicious. Hope you enjoyed this video. See you on the next one.
