  1. The young sweet potato leaves (top young growth) are very good for salad. Sweet potato leaves are high of iron and fiber. Also, good for lactating woman. When I was a kid my father used to have sweet potato farm. When we harvest the sweet potato, we don't remove all the vines, we let it grow for a year ( but that's from tropical country, but I guess in US you can't do that due to the cold weather ). We only dig and remove the bigger sweet potato then we leave the small one to further grow.

  2. Love that screen idea!! Neighborhood rats and possums are the only things that keep me from planting sweet potatoes. I’m so scared of them I never tried. Now I can 😊 thanks!

  3. That was a pretty cool idea to use the rabbit wire for them to grow through. Makes a great way to remove the vines. Nice harverst

  4. 추수감사절 고구마 수확하시네요.어릴적 부모님농장에서 가을이면 사람뿐 아니라 겨울용 가축먹이까지 마련하시느라 감자와 옥수수, 호박등을 아주 많이 심으셨너요. 겨울철 간식으로 먹고 자랐던 추억이 있어 즐거워요.

  5. I think it's because of the screen on top. it prevents further roots development from those slits.

  6. that could go till early october. or when the leaves started yellowing.
