Appreciating watching you adapt and adjust to your new physical self. I spent 30 years working with people with all types of disabilities, showing them how they can still live independently...just doing what they love a little differently. I am not an occupational or physical therapist, just used some common sense when problem solving. The first step was to answer the question "If you can't do it this way, what way can you?" Now with arthritic knees and shoulders, myself, your journey has given me new ideas for my own gardening tasks. THank you so much.

@robineggblue-bp3rq 2 жыл бұрын

I can confirm that planting in dirt is the easiest way to get slips, or what my dad called draws (that may not be the correct term, but its what my dad called them). My family used to do what's called market gardening now, we grew sweet potatoes for a living about 50 miles north of DSH. My dad would disc up an area and we would rake smooth the dirt and put in some stakes and strings to mark off an area of about 9' x 30,' sometimes longer. We would place the potatoes in the dirt like puzzle piece down the length of the marked off area, then cover with about 6 or more inches of dirt and make what looked like a raised bed. I was young when we did this so I'm going by memory. Then we would place clear plastic over it and cover the edges with dirt (similar environment to the green house and the cold frame Mr. Danny used last year). Once the plants started poking through the dirt my dad would give them some air and head space by placing a few piece of firewood under the edge here and there. And then eventually take the plastic off. When the plants were about 6-8 inches (sometimes longer, about 10 inches if we were slow in planting), we would "pull draws." Since we pulled so many, we didn't cut every plant, but I can remember my mom cutting some of the roots with a huge knife. I don't know if it was because they were too long or what. I'll have to ask her. Some of you folks probably know the reason. I do remember placing them in water. We used a setter hooked to a tractor to set them out in raised rows. There were trays to hold the plants and we placed them by hand into clips that went down into the ground. Lots of work, didn't always feel enthusiastic about it then as a kid, but good memories.

You can take those leaves and dry them, and powder them for a great green drink full of nutrients. I put it in soups, too. They also make good fresh salads. That's going to be one healthy cow. I have one grandpa sweet potato that I keep planting over and over every year and it produces a big yield every year. I dig it with the rest and just replant it every spring. Big old monster. Lol. They are so versatile . You can grow the slips in a glass, or like you just did. or grow the vines long and then divide them at the joints, and they will grow their own roots. Just like propagating wandering jew plant, or other vines.

All of my life I’ve told people that I should have grown up on a farm (like my grandmother) rather than the beach…and that was before I started growing anything. I look forward to your videos daily.

I didn't know you had to separate them to make them bear potatoes. City girl learning. I planted some new ones in hopes of actually creating food so now I know.

@jasonfoster9118 Жыл бұрын

About 6 years ago, I developed severe liver problems and became allergic/intolerant to just about every food known to man. I noticed that sweet potatoes didn't bother me too much and I ended up practically living on them for 3 years. Every. Single. Day. for 3 years. When I got a food allergy test done, I was allergic to literally everything that I'd been eating.. except sweet potatoes. My point being that even the very frail and sick can tolerate sweet potatoes. I'm pretty sure I would have died without them. This is absolutely the best method for growing sweet potatoes. I bought some at Walmart back in 2020 and have been tweaking my growing process every year. This method is exactly what I ended up with after 3 years of trial and error. Sweet potatoes are really an overlooked crop for survival situations. 20 lbs of sweet potatoes can grow a heck of a lot of slips and just an acre could produce enough potatoes for several families. With food shortages coming up, they're a very good crop to know how to grow. I'm still growing from the same potatoes I bought in 2020 and still eat them several times a week.
