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.

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

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 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.

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

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 ❤❤

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

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 how the children help and seem to enjoy it

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

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.

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 🙂.

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.

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