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!
Thanks for watching! Make sure you SUBSCRIBE and LIKE!

But where did you plant the marshmallows that go on the sweet potatoes? 🙂 Never met a sweet potato I didn't like! Fried wrapped in bacon (isn't that illegal) so delicious, baked, sweet potato pie and more :)?
I don't really like sweet potatoes, but my mum does.?
These will be delicious deep fried and wrapped in bacon, baked, as candy yams or just about any way you eat them. Speaking of bacon, are you considering adding a couple of porkers??
i hope the kids dont get burnt.. ..
It seems quite windy there a lot of the time. Is it a fresh wind or is it very humid. It's a pleasant 76 here today with a refreshing breeze. Hope the potatoes do well.?
When experiencing various things at this farm, it isn't necessary to go to school.
The landscape and children's smiling face are wonderful.?
Thank you for the link to your sweet potato fries. I will be trying the recipe very soon. Anything with bacon has got to be good.?
This is such a sweet channel, but you should let your kids talk naturally, everything comes off scripted and fake?
GREAT VIDEO .
my knee jerk thought was.. why not first plant them in small pots to grow larger then to replant…(if I don't ask I'll never know)?
I imagine you're tired of answering this question,
but are Bekka and Hannah twins??
I just started some sweet potatoes there good at thanks giving but I planted the whole thing my bad but you live and learn. Great video keep them coming.?
I love sweet potatoes! I never knew that was how you do it. I put a potato half way in a glass and got it ta grow roots before!?
I never knew you started sweet potatoes from slips. I thought they grew the same way regular potatoes grow that is you plant seed potatoes. My uncle was a big fan of sweet potatoes he preferred them to regular potatoes. A big thumbs up for your keen gardeners. I will have to try sweet potato fries wrapped in bacon that sounds really good.?
