The Kids Learn To Plant Sweet Potatoes In The Garden | Homestead Kids

In this video The Kids Learn To Plant Sweet Potatoes In The Garden. We love sweet potatoes! They are a delicious, nutritious food. There are so many sweet potato recipes that we can’t wait to try more. One of our favorites is sweet potato fries wrapped in bacon 🙂 Many people don’t realize that the sweet potato is not related to the irish potato. It is in fact in the Morning Glory family. Some people call them Yams, but they are not truly yams.It is not difficult to grow sweet potatoes in the garden from “slips”. Slips are the new shoots that grow on the tubers after it has been stored for a period of time. Remove the slip from the potato, bury the end of the slip in the ground and water it several times a day until it roots – about a week should be just fine. Give it about 1/2″ of water per week and they should do quite well 🙂 We hope to harvest nearly a bushel of potatoes from these plants this fall. Time will tell 🙂 Gardening is something that the kids just love about homesteading. They love all aspects of gardening from planting to growing to harvesting, but especially the eating of the produce 🙂

Hey y’all! Welcome to our channel. We are a large, loud and Jesus loving family from the rural Midwest. I am Nicci, also known around these parts as “mom” to my brood of seven and as “babe” to my handsome other half. We live on a handful of acres and have raised chickens, pigs, bees, tomatoes, and most importantly, our rowdy bunch of kidlets. We cloth diaper, homeschool, DIY, and try to eat as “homemade” as possible. My ratio of hobbies verses free time is COMPLETELY unbalanced. I enjoy crocheting, knitting, sewing, designing, drawing, using power tools, and anything else that involves creating. I also love to decorate and organize when time and money allow – but come on now, it is hard to make it to the bathroom without little people following 2 steps behind me and my grocery bill is comparable to a mortgage payment! It is a busy, challenging and sometimes chaotic life managing a larger than normal family but is ultimately one of God’s greatest blessings that I am immensely grateful for! In no way have I “arrived” or “figured it all out”, but I am humbled to be able to share my experience with others!
