Potatoes 🥔 Sweet potatoes 🍠 any variety. Use a clear plastic bin and place the sweet potatoes 🍠 level across the bottom and if you have a rack that fits inside the clear bin then elevate another level; place the bin in your oven Place A pot of water inside the oven Plug 🔌 in 100 strand of incandescent Christmas lights and place the strand in the oven Close the door and leave a 4 inch crack at the top for air circulation for 7-10 days. Note. If you need to use the oven just remove the contents. Cook what you want. Let the oven cool down and continue on with the curing. After that 10 days. Place in a cardboard box or paper bags and store In A cool dark locations. I have a pantry annex now since my children moved out, and I have multiple heavy duty shelves inside the middle part of 5he house with the shades pulled close. I have a house on a concrete slab so a 58 degree dark cool basement is unavailable

Regular potatoes 🥔 I picked up this idea from a homesteader in Wisconsin. She leaves the regular spuds in the ground (Mother Nature’s root cellar) until she needs them. And harvest a few per row. All year long. She places a few inches of hay/ straw over the top after planting the spudding potatoes in the ground 6 by 6 and 12-18 part per row. This keeps then from being exposed to direct lights and greening them. After pulling the 5-10 lbs per iteration she takes them in the barn shed garage and places then loosely in a brown paper bag or cover then laying on a cardboard box and cover with burlap bag for 10-14 days. Before or after a light frost she cover those still in the ground with 10-12 inch of hay/straw and that’s enough of an insulator to keep them in the ground from freezing nd the ground from freezing. In my location I keep about 6-ish inch of pine needles /straw /grass/leave compost over the top and harvest as needed. I uses 5 gallon buckets from spring to almost Thanksgiving and those actual in the ground since the spring continue to re-flower until the first frost. Got plenty of potatoes 🥔

@kentuckycowboy7660 10 ай бұрын

Another tuber I was unaware of until this year. Sunchokes (Jerusalem Artichokes) are native to North America 🇺🇸 and are more hardcore then any of the other tubers (potatoes) family. These crazy thing as with any potatoes need there on separate raised bed or 20-30 gallon buckets 🪣 because they will over take that part of the garden 🪴 they do flower like Sunflowers 🌻 I’ve just put mine in the ground last month to give then a head start for the spring time. But all the videos I’ve listened to everyone said it plant and forget and it could be in the worst soil /rocky too and they will take off. More starch for the belly. Also leave then in the ground until consumption as well. Curing it just like the sweet potatoes to remove the starch and add sweetness and remove the insulin that causes intestinal gas. Just another quiver for that now and arrow 😉 ohhh the French used this staple to survive Nazis occupation during WW2. They want all the potatoes and didn’t know or care for those tubers

Sweet Potato leaves are also really good in a salad! And they grow so abundantly you can grab some throughout the season.

210 Days, that's like picking up my snow shovel with my left hand to pass it to my right hand. lol That and finding anyplace that's 85 degrees in November umm, and humid? Nope. Mother Nature is doing a great job of testing my knowledge and patience as it is. A roller coaster of temps and rain. 1 day 96 degrees for a high, 42 that night for a low. Oh well, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger/wiser. Still, this is the first time in my life that I'll be replanting/sowing our Green Beans. Can't give up! Won't! Nice Sweet Potato harvest my Friends TYFS
