Learning how to grow sweet potatoes is surprisingly easy - just a few plants provide a plentiful harvest. Sweet potatoes need a long warm growing season, are heat-tolerant and drought-resistant, and have very few pests or diseases. All of this makes them perfect for growing in the low desert of Arizona (yay!)

When I lived in North Carolina, I stopped at a sweet potato farm and bought 40 pounds of sweet potatoes in a cardboard box. The farmer said they would last about 4 months at room temperature. They did and those were the best tasting sweet potatoes I've ever had in my life.

I LOVE Sweet Potatoes! This is my 3rd year for growing them in 18-gallon totes. However, the deer around my home enjoy eating the greens, which are also yummy and can be fixed like spinach - raw in salads or steamed. Have had to make a 'fence' around them with Tulle. It works great.

Best comprehensive info I have searched for. Growing up in the south east part of the US with a southern mama who always got her sweet potato slips started in a canning jar with toothpicks in the living room and then she let the vines grow all around the ceiling. Then somehow she would create the slips and always have a place to throw some in the ground. We must’ve taken for granted, always having sweet potatoes wherever we lived as opposed to “ Irish” potatoes 💕

I feed meat rabbits with sweet potato greens and I don't mind the slightly smaller root harvest I get from picking 5-8 leaves a week per plant. The bunnies are healthy, they make perfect fertilizer so my garden is happy, and it keeps feed costs cut about in half :)

I thought I had watched enough videos to have the hang of it but you mentioned quite a bit more than I had heard in a bunch of other videos. Getting ready to harvest my four plants in a week or so.

I had a sweet potato that was growing leaves so I just stuck it in the dirt in my plant. I came here to see what to do with it and how to know when it's ready to harvest. I know it's not ready yet. I just stuck it in there less than a month ago. It's about 2 ft tall already and super thick. I didn't mean for it to actually start growing. I thought it was going to die. I'm in Southern California so it will probably be fine over winter. I just thought it was crazy how fast it's growing.

Love the vid and info. My first attempt in grow bags in Phoenix area everything died, too hot and dried out I think. Next year the vines grow like crazy but the tubers were super small after 5 months and yellowing foliage. This year we're trying self-wicking tubs and making sure the soil is not too nitrogen rich. I'm addicted to the Stokes purples and really want to get it nailed down so will keep at it.
