Sweet potato harvest

We had our first frost so I dumped my 55 gallon drum over.


I was having high hopes of success from right off the top.


The soil is getting dryer the deeper I go. I should have done more deep watering!

I put some water in the bottom of this 30 quart pot with a false bottom to keep the potatoes off the water. I have them down by the boiler where it’s 90 deg. I put the lid on too. They weighed 20 lbs 11 oz.
