Holy moly! That potato is a beast. Thank you for another beautiful video ❤
Very cool! Thanks for showing!

Zelda an her commentary are adorable in this video. Love the sweet potato harvest. How did the ones n the field as understory to peppers work out? Hoping to try that next year as our outdoor season is just not quite long enough here. I have a 14×20 green house that becomes the winter run for my chickens once the frost kills everything. SO far I have grown a years worth of sweet peppers, a fig tree, some great ginger and lots of big slicer potatoes in it. I got 2 years worth of cayenne pepper and a few batches of candied jalapenos. Undercover growing spaces are worth every penny put into them.
Thank you.
Do the figs die back to the ground every winter? I moved from Texas to maine and I miss growing them!
The Autumn Olives we have here are red speckled with silver. I thought the yellow one were called Trebizond Dates.
Sweet Zelda 😊
This made my day, thank you.
what is your method for curing sweet potatoes? first time growing them this year for us. also, our daughter's are about a month apart, what an absolute joy it is to watch them interact with the world and the gardens!! sending you and yours all the best 🙂
I love how Zelda already says Thank You 🎶 so melodically
Cute kid 😊

Over here, in Wales, we talk of tons and people of my age might use hundred weights but 2 baby weights is a new measure for me!
Loved the video with the new co-presenter. Keep them coming.
Wow 🤗 🍠🍠🍠 👍definitely bigger than mine 😂🤣 Zelda is already a big help in the garden 😉🌝💕
this brought me so much joy <3
What a delightful little tour guide. I’m also picturing that classic Norman Rockwell painting, Freedom from Want, only Mother is serving that giant sweet potato.
Cuteness overload! That sweet little "da da" as she grabs the berries from your hand was beyond adorable 🙂
You guys nourished the soil and ate from it, nourishing you. From that comes Zelda, who will be nourished on all levels from the garden while learning how care for it in return. All the while people are being inspired to garden from this youtube channel AND be able to get plants to do it. I know I say this all the time, but you system is just the best 🙂
Zelda's cuteness will undoubtedly bring more people to your channel. Reminds me of how much a thing the cat was on One Yard Revolution, so many comments every time he showed up, Oscar I think. Zelda's cuteness powers are far greater than even the mighty cuteness of a cat-friend. Cool to think about many more people getting into gardening because it. This is the best channel for learning real permaculture imo.
Love the idea of a get together based on the roasting of a giant sweet potato instead of a pig. There'd be other stuff, of course, but it'd be a fun ritual to center on the biggest sweet potato of the year. Or all the biggest examples from the season. A giant winter squash soup cooked in the squash in the coals. Stuff like that. It'd be fun to see what natural gardeners figure out to get the biggest stuff without store-bought products.
Huge sweet potato upstaged by a happy Zelda
Love hearing Zelda commentary ❤
From here on out I'm weighing all my veggies in "baby weight" or baby weight equivalents.
Hi, little Zelda!
I'm all for those meals with 10 to 15 ppl, and I'm guessing you guys already know this, but for anyone who didn't, sweet potatoes can keep for a day or in the fridge, diced up & ready to go for hash or whatever. I used a glass container, a homegrown sweet potatoe and didn't use any lemon juice or anything. Idk if is same for sweet potatoes, but J recently read that if regular potatoes have not been stored ( or, exposed to, in autumn, K presume ?) in temps below 45° , they won't ( so soon ?) turn black when cut up and sit for a bit. I recently canned some of my small Huckleberry Gold potatoes and yeah, they were fine without any ascorbic acid or lemon juice being added, as I filled two big bowls ( and how they still appeared after, in the jars). I also copied a homesteader vlog ( "More than Farmers") showing prepping some meals for week, and chopped sweet potatoes like I said. What was still left ( in fridge, and I'd taken some out twice) 2 days later still looked fine.
Long time viewer though been more absent this past year. Absolutely love seeing you both carrying your daughter out n about with you ! SO cute & precious, and such a special time, and special childhood for her :).
Sweet potato pie!!
Now that’s a potato. Enjoy
Great video. I got some giant sweet potatoes here in SW NH this year too. I would love to see a video showing how you cure your sweet potatoes by the wood stove. How do you keep up enough humidity? Thanks for all you do.
I have some figs in my green house too, it keeps making fruit but it never ripens before the fall off.. you ever experience this?
Me and my 2 year old really enjoyed those zelda babbles <3, my son was babbling back to her :), well done on the sweet potatoes! I'd LOVE to see you guys put them in a veggie weigh in!
thanks for sharing. a tip from my turmeric notes: i'd recommend leaving (at least one) turmeric plant without harvesting. in my experience, 1st year harvest is not significant compared to the huge 3rd year harvest. turmeric overwinters in my zone 7b with thick mulch cover, and I harvested 19 lb fresh turmeric from this 3 year plant.
Zelda’s a natural star! Love the high tunnel too
sweet potato pie!
Love to hear her talking
Really fun to watch this with my not quite two week baby girl on my chest, can’t wait to feed her from my edible acres inspired garden in the years to come!
Awesome video. Thanks.
Definitely several "baby weights" of sweet potatoes. Zelda is just too precious – obviously the light of your lives, as she should be.
Back in the Victorian era here in Britain, small children were being used by chimney sweeps; i'm not suggesting such cruelty… But I think you'd definitely be investing in Zelda's future by signing her up with the musicians union! She makes the kind of noises which can only come when the world is all new 😇
What kinda figs you growing brother
adorable little girl.
