next year is my year for potatoes and sweet potatoes love the video cheers
That dinner 'calzone' looks sooo good! I just had a thought on the sweet potatoes: what if you treat the little ones the way you would new potatoes? Ie, leave them whole and roast 'em, steam them (tossed in butter), etc, or cut them into biggish chunks in 'salads' or mixed veg. Just a thought–you obviously have plenty of kitchen creativity yourself!
Thanks for sharing both the good and the disappointing! And the red potatoes tell you that your soil didn’t go to waste. So that’s a win.
Those wine cap mushrooms, do they require a cool, cloudy, wet climate? I live in sunny, hot Texas, and our most successful crops are herbs, beans, peppers!!! and okra. We can also grow watermelons and cucumbers, but they need shade.
Read online that they grow long and skinny because of too much nitrogen! Says not to fertilize the soil next time or add things that will add additional nitrogen. Love your videos!!❤️❤️
Hi, I love that you share with us all what you have learned and gleaned from your experiences! Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all!!
Ferment those cucumbers for a delicious probiotic. I do dill and garlic with oak or grape leaves. Just 2 tsp. salt per quart. SO GOOD and GOOD for your gut.
Fingerling sweet potatoes are still delicious! You should just enjoy your harvest and use this knowledge (like you said) for next seasons crop. Congrats on your second year of gardening, you're doing better than loads of people!
Probably one of the most wholesome people on YouTube. Love you!
I’m so sorry your sweet potatoes didn’t come out very big! It’s so frustrating when gardening doesn’t work out like we hope for. I’ve had a lot of failures, but luckily enough successes that I’ve continued to persevere in my gardening. One of your issues may be the soil. Sweet potatoes like a pretty sandy soil. I live in North Carolina and pull soil samples for farmers, and everywhere that sweet potatoes are grown the fields are very sandy.
That was fun. Thanks Becky. Your garden is amazing
we’ve been working on last minute harvest as well since we got our first frost last night
I grew my own slips (first time grower) and had great results. Can't wait to see next years sweet potatoes. Gardening is definitely trial and error.
It’s my second harvest of sweet potatoes and they are always small but soooo flavorful. Try growing your own slips!!
They will taste great! And volunteers were a cool bonus! Focus on the process of learning. Grow with your crops. This year's washington rain has my garlic up almost knee high! I even waited to replant til after Oct 1st!

Cut the mushrooms at base with sharp knife. They will grow back. If you pull the roots out they are done. They will grow back indefinitely if you cut off at base.
Cut your celery off at base instead of pulling out roots. Will regrow too!
Fyi. I put my green tomatoes in a wire basket with my bananas layed on top. Took 3 weeks but every tomatoe ripened. Then red tomatoes lasted great in bin another 4 weeks! I may start picking green so plant can produce more and i can store longer.
Your doing great and I love your new basket.
Great work ethic and beautiful harvest
I used a sweet potato in a jar of water about end of January and by time to plant had pulled off "shoots " and put it in water to further get roots started. When it was warm enough to plant out I dug a trench in my bed and put horse manure in it and hilled up over it and planted the "shoots" of sweet potatoes.about every 9"..keep weed free til the vines take over. I just dug them (right before frost) and brought them in to cure and store for the winter. Most of them were large. I had grown the purple kind. Hope you have better results next year. (Beware of mice in your patch)
Hey Becky I just saw this from another facebook group just thought i would throw this to you maybe it would help your sweet potatoes …..fertilizer and patience. I learned the hard way because my first crop was bad. It took much longer than 120 days for me, I had mine in since Mid May. Use a 10-10-10 fertilizer for the first few months and switch to something with more phosphorus and potassium at the last few months
You are too young to spend all your time on all of this. There are only 2 of you. Enjoy your life with your husband.
I’ve been enjoying your videos. The harvest ones are the most fun! We planted a garden since we were stuck at home. We do have fruit trees but my dad always said that planting vegetables is too much work and not worth the trouble. It is a lot of hard manual labor but so much fun and rewarding. We ate lots of green beans, chard, tomatillos, tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash, acorn squash, calabasitas, beets, and corn. Broccoli, celery, and watermelon did not work out. Maybe next time. Lots to learn.
Really enjoyed you in this video..
