Planting Sweet Potato Slips That I Grew From Store Bought Potatoes! Late Spring Evening Gardening!

Hi Bre I have to tell you I am 69 years young & I love your channel. You are such a ray of sunshine and I enjoy your channel very much. You have such a good head on your shoulders and you know what you want and go for it. Keep being the strong woman you are and live life the way you want. Much love and admiration from PA.

My Mom had the greenest thumb I’ve ever witnessed! We’d be out in the woods and she’d find a twig of a silver maple. 40 years later they needed a crane to remove it. It didn’t matter where, wild, neighborhood or garden center she would steal a leaf or a tiny section of the plant, soak it in rapid grow and then replant after a time. Mother’s Day was never an issue, a gift certificate to any garden center. ♦️🌿🍃🌺🌹♥️🌹🌺🍃🌿♦️

SWEET POTATO TIPS: When those vines get going really good and you have to trim them back, EAT THE LEAVES 😋 Also chop up and do a VERY quick Blanch (they go from soft to mushy wayyyyyy faster than other greens) and freeze in bags marks with how many servings are in there for the cold months. Take cuttings and root them (or plant with their roots that might already in place) in planters for beautiful foliage. Keep those slip potatoes going for more slips to use inside and outside for foliage. Harvest after the first light frost. Make sure you have your methods in place to cure them so you don't get overwhelmed. I recommend the plastic bin/heat mat way. Some people super humidify one room for weeks and that just makes me paranoid about mold issues down the road in that room. Curing is neccesary, especilly with purple ones, to access the full sweetness of the potato as it forms those sugars. I harvested 60 lbs last year and then learned oh shoot I don't have the space to do the oven method because I need my oven and can't leave it for weeks on end doing 60lbs of potatoes haha

I'm on Ohio and i have to say this was by far one of the easiest years to harden off my plants, so many overcast perfect days for it, my garden has been in now for a couple weeks and it's really taken hold so well and the volunteers are way bigger then last year.

Love how easy it is to seed save snap dragons. Never have to buy seeds 😊

Hii Bre i’m getting chickens soon and i was hoping you could make a video about all the supplies you use for the chickens and the things you recommend and don’t recommend? Also i love your channel!❤

I love the outside time with the cats! I built a catio for mine because they would fight and hiss when it was time to come inside. now they can stay outside as long as they want!

I'm excited to see how your sweet potatoes turn out! And actually now want to plant some but next year!

Really enjoy your channel. Could you make the cats a small run? We did that as our cats are basically indoor cats and with the run (right near our garden, they are out there now all day with us and love it. All we used was some t posts and wire fencing and then put a wire fencing roof over it as well. We made a little trap door cut into the wire that we can open like a flap to get them in and out and also that we can secure with a bungee cord. They have a great time and it was cheap…🥃

I can’t pull pests off bare hands like that, wish I could but not sure I’ll ever be brave enough

Enjoyed spending the evening with you! The garden is looking fantastic!

i love the idea of the growing bags... great job bre

Great video, I love your giant grow bags!

I bought slips for the first time this year and what I was sent were pathetic half dead( total dead now) rootless sticks. 22 $ for twelve dead stems. Yours are beautiful and should grow beautiful

I take the leaves and dry them and put them in my soups.

I’m the same way with loving the long days and getting sad with the end of the summer.

Will they be ready for Thanksgiving? That would be so cool to see your Thanksgiving table with all the stuff from your garden! Love your videos. Thank you. !

Nice garden !!

❤❤❤

Great video, good luck! First time growing them this year, hope it works out. Lol
