The deer ate my first Sweet Potato plants and I gave up too soon on the first Okra planting so I Planted some more! I also put up a fence to keep the deer away from the sweet potatoes this time.

just found your videos and am enjoying watching them.to save your back when planting sweet potatoes you can use a notched stick.I saw this method on mhpgardener.I've learned so much from Bobby.Hope this helps...TYFS

I sure hope that you do get the chance to harvest both! They are some of my families favorites. Chuck

I've got 5 sweet potato slips in the allotment. They've never do very well in the UK, but I live in hope that one year I'll get a good harvest. Okra also is tricky with us, as we just don't have the temperatures for them, and they can't even survive in the greenhouse. Still I will grow them one year, and get a crop. You know me...very determined.

Thank you Sonoman! Chuck

Lookin good

I think I meant "crisps".. We have bought them before but want a shot at making our own.. I keep meaning to run some through the dehydrator but get sidetracked.. We have oven baked them but they just go soft & not crunchy at all..

Thank you mam! I hope to have a few ears on our plants by the middle or end of next week. Chuck

Sweet potato slips are easy to plant but hard to protect from the deer. The deer would rather eat young sweet potatoes than breathe! I look forward to seeing yours growing (Randy or Amanda). Best wishes!!! Chuck

Thanks Steve! Chuck

great garden

Yes. I use my grandmas recipe. She made a lot of great tasting food but I believe that she made the best pickled okra that ever went into a jar! Chuck

You got that right! Do you all pickle okra?

I agree john. I am out of canned okra. My bride makes the best veggie soup on the planet and it MUST have okra in it. Not the same soup without it. Chuck

If you are in the dirt Bruce lets just say we are playing in it. This dirt here is so hard I try to fool myself by saying I am playing in it. Makes it go down better! Chuck

If he eats this row He will feed us and what is left over will feed the buzzards. Chuck

Superb! Nice to see you planting more okra to replace the earlier one...'cause you know you always gotta have okra!

I am spoiled with the tractor! I am too old to go the other route on a plot this size. Thanks Chuck

Who needs stick if you have iron hands kung fu? A few more rows you will master it and won't need tractor anymore.

You never know sweet-potato fattened deer might be very tasty.

Nice and neat Chuck, looks really good. We have a restaurant that for years they've served sweet potato fries that are really tasty. The syrup is likely high fructose corn syrup, the healthy kind. Blessings on your OKRA this time around. I love that stuff, have one earthbox with three plants about a foot tall and leaves the size of pie plates. I been hand digging a second nutrient tank, next to my first. Does that qualify as 'playing in dirt?' Cheers!
