Great harvest. That's the best looking Georgia Jets I've seen. I'm in upstate South Carolina and they split badly and often grow round or turnip shaped. It's the only sweet potato variety I've grown that does that. My garden soil is a sandy loam over a stony clay subsoil. It's perfect for growing sweet taters, just not Georgia Jet. I grew Bayou Belle, Orleans, Evangeline, Murasaki, Burgundy, and White Triumph this year. Bayou Belle had the highest yield with almost 250 lbs. from 22 plants, in a 25 ft row. I grow them in ridges that are about two foot wide at the base, tapering to a foot across the top. The Bayou Belle was harvested at 97 days after planting. I had a lot of taters that were over four lbs. each. I harvest them big because the vast majority of my taters are cooked and fed to my feeder pigs. I also grow a lot of Irish potatoes and feed the majority to the pigs.

@citylotgardening6171 7 ай бұрын

Wow friend now that's a harvest , I wish we didn't have so much hard clay soil here ours would probably do a little better we didn't have the splitting issue you have mabe your humidity and rainy conditions don't suit this variety I'm originally from NC and worked alot at the coast in SC I know how humid you guys have it thanks for watching 👍

Congrats on your grow! We have a big sweet potato farm here in my small town of Wynne AR (8000 pop). It is called Matthew's Sweet Potatoes. They supply WalMart with sweet potatoes. These are some great tasting ones too!

Great video. Those sweet potato leaves taste great too. If you mix it with some pumpkin leaves or beetroot leaves👌👌👌👌

We eat the small sweet potato leaves in salads and stir fry also eat our beet leaves sautéed with bacon and garlic but I haven't tried pumpkin leaves thanks for watching 👍

Goodness didn't know you could get so many sweet potatoes from this little plot. I enjoyed watching you harvest them.

Seeing those sweet potato sprouts make my mouth water, blanched then toss/dipped in soy sauce with onion and tomatoes gives me childhood flashbacks
