So lovely seeing parents and their children working together on the farm. One day food will be more valuable than money 🙂

Quick tip, when you plant your slips put in a stake beside them then you can find the centres of the plants and never waste time rooting around looking for them. Good on you that is a great harvest.

It is refreshing to see your children eager to have fun and help in the garden. This of course is a testimony to good parenting.

It's just so wonderful to see children having such a healthy and happy childhood. I wondered if that was lost to this generation completely. Beautiful "yung'uns" you good folks have. ❤

It’s great to see your harvest and y’all’s hard work being blessed, Proverbs 12:11,12 says Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread/food,, Y’all are hard workers and you are reaping the fruits of your labor, Blessings!!!!

You are living the best life! And, it's a blessing to see your children working with you. Tell them how blessed they are to live this life. City children are missing out on so much. Your children are blessed! ❤❤❤❤ Baton Rouge Louisiana

You can eat the vine leaves like spinach, either steamed, or in a soup. Super nutritious and tasty. Yes, the deer enjoyed mine until I put a barrier up around them.

Love to see the entire family working together. No ipad, just outside with a plan together. Sunshine family time. Makes me happy to see.

Great harvest! Jacob is such a smart young man. Both your kids are so helpful around the farm! 😊

Love how the children help and seem to enjoy it

You can can the sweet potaotes for use in pies and casseroles or just to bake with brown sugar later Cut the big ones and make fried sweet tater in a skillet with brown sugar and butter - yum! That kind reminds me of my Mom and was one of my Dads favorite ways to cook them

LOVE THIS!! huge potato harvest!! The kids having fun helping out is the icing on the cake!

Sweet potatoes are a super food, from what I've read. I really like them, ours done well also,some were unbelievably big. Thanks all and God Bless 🙂.

For the very large sweet potatoes, here is a good way to cook them: Peel and either slice about 1/2 in. thick or cut in small chunks. Mix them with sliced or chunk apples and toss with melted butter mixed with some brown sugar and cinnamon. Add either chopped pecans or walnuts if desired. Put in baking dish that has lid or cover securely with foil. Bake at 350 until desired tenderness. Delicious! Or cut in chunks, boil and make mashed sweet potatoes.

If you guys like spinach , that’s what the leaves taste like , I just love your son driving the little truck , did you guys make that for him , the children are so sweet & enjoying helping that’s beautiful , May God continue blessing your garden ❤❤

Have a beautiful weekend y'all 👍🤠👍❣️🫶❣️

Our sweet potatoes surprised us as well. They were enormous! It was a great year for sweet potatoes.

OMG.. some very pretty ones in the raised beds...well.. maybe next time..The world's heaviest sweet potato 🥔(Ipomoea batatas) weighed (81 lb 9 oz) on 8 March 2004... what a day to remember~! YUM

If you do not like big sweet potato’s you could use them to make your own homemade dog food. This year I planted things my dogs could eat right along with us. And a treat for the other animals on your homestead which you already do. I tried sweet potato’s in the ground and in grow bags. The grow bags did the best because this summer the ground was so hard . I will amend the soil and try some in ground next year. Have a great day! I enjoy watching your channel.

Awesome tater harvest guys! I love how you all work together as a family on your farm/homestead. Those youngins don’t realize the value of the lifestyle y’all are giving them right now, but as time goes on they will. Thanks for sharing. 😇🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻

Now that's how you do sweet potatoes! GOD IS GOOD!

Those big sweet potatoes would make awesome fries. 😁 oh my, I'm almost envious. Almost, glad God blessed you.

Large sweet potatoes are just as good as small ones. Just cube them and bake them.

That's a great harvest. I take the great big ones and peel them and cut them up for fries or cubes and then can them. The cubes I use for sweet potatoes pie or make muffins with them. Really good.

You guys had an awesome harvest ! We picked ours yesterday and I was amazed how well they did with it being dry this year . We had around 12 slips given to us and ended up with 2 feed sacks full . This was our second time growing them because I only just started liking the taste of them . I think next year I will plant a lot more . I can see how people used to survive on them in the old days . Heck I never fertilized and got potatoes the size of footballs lol . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

Love seeing your babies helping .memories of our 8 on the farm blessings

We are learning so much for you folks! Thank you! Yall have a wonderful family!

You could eat some of the leaves too. Very nutritious, wonderful just sauteed.

YOUR KIDS are just GREAT 👍!😇!😇!😇!😇!

Those little kids are like mom and dad there some working machines for young children they are just getting right with help hand awsome steve

Love watching those kids. 😊😊😊

WOW, I need to plant sweet potatoes next year..🥰👏

I would like to complement you and your whole family for a wonderful sharing with your two little ones working in the background. It reminds me when my son and daughter was much younger, helping in the yard gardening and cleaning up. Keep it coming, the entire video kept me smiling on what being a family is truly about. I love the subject on harvesting sweet potatoes but I even love the family atmosphere of seeing the two little ones learn gardening from their parents. Love, James Williams.

I lived in Appalachia when I was in my twenties and listening to y'all talk is like music. :-)

Now that's a sweet potato patch! 😮

Wow .those were some big sweet potatoes.👍❤️

If you can the big sweet potatoes you can use them for sweet bread and things like that. Or you can blanch and freeze them and roast them in the oven with seasoning until they are browned a little, they will still be soft, but they are really good to eat. My family loves them, I even make make sweet potato pancakes.

Great potatoes harvesting, both kids are so helpful...

I live in Taiwan, and sweet potato greens are one of the most popular vegetables here. They're one of my favorites. The greens are typically just very quickly stir-fried with some fresh garlic and cayenne, but you can really do whatever you like with them. You really ought to try them.

Wow! What a great harvest!😇

I can big sweet potatoes in a TINY bit of honey. Then add them to pancakes during the winter. I use freshly milled flour so it keeps it more moist and les dense. I do pancakes and waffles as a quick run out of the door breakfast. So I cook them the night before and we don’t use syrup. So the extra sweetness and nutrition makes it work for us.

Cut up the big sweet potatoes into cubes and boil them and mash them with butter, salt and cinnamon. Yummy!

Great. I live in a big city in Germany. Rented house with 24 tenants. I'm old and in a wheelchair. There's a mini meadow on the ground floor. I use about 10 plant pots (50cm diameter). This year I have 2 sweet potatoes in one pot Big as baby heads).I use some leaves in Asian dishes.I came across your channel by chance. Subtitles help me. Thank you for your video and warm greetings from an old Saxon woman ^^formerly Chemnitz today Berlin.all the best to you all--hope google translates correctly^^^--

Such a pleasant video of your family.

I was excited along with you watching those potatoes come out of the ground!

I tried two slips this year…one in a bucket and one in a hill in the garden. The sweet potato in the ground did awesome!! The bucket grew little skinny potatoes. I am west of Asheville

Clean those big ones up , Peal and dice to 1inch squares and roast in the oven, add salt and butter. Then freeze what you cant eat. The young leaves can go in the salad! Be sure to Cure them to get them to sweeten up.

First time watching your channel. Your children are precious. Working so hard without complaining. All those yummy sweet potato's. I can only think of Sweet Potato Pies and candied sweet potato's. Congrats on your harvest.

I enjoy your videos but your kids excitement made my morning! Y’all are definitely raising them right!

So happy you had such a great harvest. When it comes to the leaves, they are wonderful! I sauteed them like spinach and I've dehydrated them and turned into powder and add them to my smoothies!

I enjoyed watching this sweet potato harvest!

The bigger, the better. More food.☺🙂😊😇😋

My dad always pulled the vines off first ,leaving the potatoes in ground, he said if the vine got frosted it would go to the potatoes and ruin it.

Great harvest . May God be the glory.

Good harvest. That kind of soil is suitable for root crops. The stems can be planted again.

Steam the young leaves of sweet potato for salad .add tomatoes ,onion and sauce,yummy.

Big potatoes that’s wonderful. Sweet potato bread, sweet potato pie, candied, sweet potatoes. You don’t want those big ones I’ll take them. And yes, can them don’t waste it.

I can tell. There's a lot of them. Very nice! I grew 3 slips of white sweet potaoes in a large whiskey barrel. I made out like a bandit.

White sweet potatoes are my favorite

That looks like exactly like what the rats did to my beats But the rats didnt burl any holes into the beds they just ate them from the top down at my mom's house years ago in the winter that's where you'd always find the rats bed inside her greenhouse beds that's where they spent their winter cause it was softer

The yungins are having a great time!

Zinnia flowers take tons of water from vegetables I found out using containers and all summer double watered squash and zinnias to keep bee's around, I'll use different flowers next year, maybe marigolds

Take and bake all those big ones and take skins off mash ‘em and freeze them they are great ❤

I love those giant ones they are family-sized and you only need to cook one for a whole meal

When I grow sweet potatoes I always give the vines to my Korean friends.

Oh yeah sautéing those greens like spinach is sooooooooo good. And good for you.

Those really big sweet potatoes are really good baked. Wash, oil them and wrap them in foil.

You can always mash the big potatoes and freeze them also. Don't add any butter or milk until you defrost them.

Great harvest. Big one will taste fine. Can can them. Hard to cut up but well worth the time. Make sure to use potato fork and dig all of them up.

Wow - nice werk. Next year I’m plant’m!

Great kids!😇!😇!😇!😇!

what an idyllic life you have! I'm jealous

I love watching you all work together.😊 nice sweet potatoes.

Wonderful harvest!!

WOW! THOSE are fabulous!!! 5:56

Tip mustard green are Amy when you pick small leaves most people wait for huge leaves but they are best when leaves are small collard as well. Sweet Potatoes love the dirt you have.

What a blessing ❤ I saw 👀 some of the reds, peeking 🫣 out, as you were heading to start digging up the white ones. Do the white ones have the same taste as the red? Can’t wait for you to show me how to preserve them. I got football size ones too! Last year, I grew them in the ground and turned out rats got to them, not voles, like I thought ❤ this year container, & they’re huge & bountiful ❤no damage yet, but will finish up harvest today 😂 God is Good

Wow those kids did a lot❤ no complaints just enjoying ❤

Those stems are highly sought after food in Asian countries. In its season you can see them in bundles at farmers markets all over, quite pricy also.

Chickens would love all those greens.🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

everything you can do to a small sweet potato... you can do to a giant one too. It will either take longer, or you cut it into... small sweet potato sized pieces. The only "problem" with big tubers is that it's too much for one portion. so Chop chop boom done.

That's a lot, I harvest mine sweet potato too but not that much just a few. And I love the young leaves to eat

My goodness, what a great sweet potato harvest! Loved seeing your kids so excited to help.

First time watching your channel, you guys are lovely! I cant wait to watch the rest of your videos!

I have sweet potato chunks canned up. Then I mash them when I want to use them.

If you don’t like to eat the big ones as a baked sweet potato, you can can it or use it in sweet potato pie, sweet potato casserole or sweet potato fries.

White sweet potatoes are very sought after breeds, in Korea that’s the only sweet potatoes grown, noodles made out of sweet potato starch is staple food just to let you know how rich you are!

You can make sweet potato pie 🥧 with the big ones. I also agree with canning them also.

What a great harvest, they will be yummy roasted and also boiled and mashed with butter.

the greens are great in smothies

You can eat sweet potato leaves like a salad with some onions and a vinaigrette.

White sweet potatoes make the best pies.

I know one of my “people” when I hear them call kids “youngins”! I’m in East Tennessee/ love the video!

Just beautiful.

I love your husband's remand white truck, my son is restoring one, and just loves it, I think his is a 95

The young three leaves are edible you can eat them. You can shock in hot water then put them in cold water. Then eat them soy sauce and lime or lemon.

Yum yum fried sweet potatoes

White ones definitely look like Nancy Hall’s! We grow them a lot here in North Mississippi! I have some planted that are only 105 days in!

You can roast the larger ones just put some cuts in them stuff a grain of garlic and put some salted butter then roast them on a medium fire, tasty
