Good morning, Jill. My oldest sister remembers our grandmother always having a sweet potato vine growing around the kitchen! She would wrap it around the hanging pot, I guess to have enough for starting slips in the spring. That would have been in the 1950s. Smart lady. I'm going to try that myself, along with saving some skinny ones for starting slips. Can't wait until the end of this month, mine should be ready to dig up here in Central Kentucky. Have a blessed day ❤

I sent this video to a friend who I think was trying to grow sweet potatoes this growing season that she got from Lowe's. We both don't eat sweet potatoes, but I want to grow some. I hope you show us the harvest from all the different kinds of sweet potatoes. I only know of one kind, and Ube potatoes. I'm not similar to growing anything other than regular potatoes that you find in grocery stores. I actually learned something. Thank for the video.

Hey Jill we do the same and we also take a sweet potato and put in a paper bag and store in a cool place for the winter. Around February we will put in a pan with soil and the slips will grow. Getting some light rain here. 🌧🌧 It's nice a cool this morning. God bless..

First of all, Jill, so thankful for your cooler temps! God is good! I currently have slips in a jar that have plenty of roots on them so you're saying I can plant those in a huge pot, keep in my greenhouse over the winter and hopefully they should survive my north Ga. winter? I've never tried saving them before so I want to do this! Also, not sure if everyone knows this, but you can also dehydrate those leaves into a powder and have the benefits of sweet potato nutrients in a soup or other dish over the winter! I've done that for several years with my extra leaves before they die off.

Such a great idea! Yes, root some of your vines in water and then put in dirt and let them continue to grow over the winter. Cut from those vines and root early next year for planting after your last frost or freeze.

I cut vines last year and over wintered. I lost a few BUT I still had quite a bit to plant earlier this year. I had a fantastic harvest. Actually I missed a few sweet potatoes when I harvested last year and they sprouted this year. I was pleasantly surprised. So I did have a few extra sprouts that produced sweet potatoes for this years harvest. I've cut vines from my harvest this year to over Winter for next year 😊. I'm glad you are showing the steps on what to do 😊. Fantastic video!

I’ve always hung a few of my, last years potatoes in jars, put near a window and collected the slips off those. I know you stated that as an option, or laying them in a pan and covering with potting soil, collect the slips. But the method you are using, will most likely, have bigger, sturdier stems, which is why I will have to try this, this year🥰

I think if you cut the vine long enough, you can plant both ends. That is how they get more slips to plant.

A memory I had as a child is that my great grandma had a sweet potato in a hanging basket in her kitchen window. She had the vine wrapped around the top of the room and into the living room. I believe she had a large ivy, too, but I was just so in love with that potato vine 😅 The first time I went to her new house, I was grown and I kept looking up around the ceiling of the rooms. Grandma asked what was I looking at. I said your sweet tator vine. Where is it? She said she left it at the other house. I was visibly disappointed, I guess, because she laughed and said, Baby, I can grow another one, just bring me a sweet potater. 😂

Oh, wow, my curiosity is piqued now. I saved some of my small ones from my first harvest, but never set them out this year. I thought I missed my window for starting the slips early enough and possible that they were too small. So what did I do 🤦♀️ kept the basket anyway, even though most have sprouts on them. Now you have me thinking there might still be hope for them after all! Funniest thing about growing them and then candying them for the thanksgiving meal is that my older children and their significant others totally raves over them!! 😅 I was the lone sweet potato lover all these years. Not anymore. 😃 Not sure how I’ll swing growing the vines over the winter but I’ll be giving it a try. Thank you!

Great idea! Thank you! My goal is to never buy either sweet potatoes or slips ever again! Same for my regular potatoes! I’m working on it! I’m trying to figure out how many I want to plant next spring and save what I can if possible. I am growing sweet potatoes this year from two sweet potatoes I bought from the store in March (these slips didn’t get planted until July because I had to get more slips ready and plant in containers this time as the critters ate my in-ground patch entirely that I planted in early May). This video gave me some ideas for keeping these going! Yay! Thank you very much! I didn’t want to have to grow new slips in the spring because it took 8 weeks get slips from the store bought ones. I definitely want to get mine planted earlier this next spring. I’m sure this will really help!

I have a whole sweet potato in water to sprout slips. It's very been very productive. Should I snip those slips & put in water & keep in water till spring? Or sprout in water & plant in container for vines then snip those off & place in water?

Wow! That is such great information because I’m such a newbie to all this! I had my first crop of Jersey sweet potatoes this year and I’m so proud of them! I got quite a few little tubers from them and I’m wondering if I could go ahead after they’re cured and plant them in a little pot and keep them in the house and eat the greens through the winter and then have them ready as slips appear and I can put them in water, to be planted. I know lettuce etc. is good to grow in the winter, but so far I’m not good at that. I was looking for a way to have some greens consistently through the winter and thought this might be it ? What do you think? I so appreciate all you do! Blessings! 😎🌻☺️

In KZitem land there are at least 2 types of people those that grow for food the others that like the decorative sweet potato vine for the color decorative aspects. I have never grown the 1 starter plant I bought from Lowes for food. This year I bought a green & a purple starter sweet potato vine. I planted each under a crepe myrtle in my yard the vine grew to be 5+ times the original size and filled in the area under the tree beautifully with no watering by me. My goal is to enjoy the beauty of the vine not food. Next year I may grow 1-2 for food. I've never grown any food. What do you call that a pre-newbie? Can you eat the ornamental sweet potato vine they sell at Lowes? I am inspired by this video to take clippings of the vines in my yard now. 2 things I'd like to know 1). What temperature should you take your clippings before the vine is damaged? Tonight, it gets to 40 degrees {I'm cutting some today} 2). If I have EVER sprayed Round-up near the original plant, I'm taking cutting from will the potato ever be safe for human consumption?
