Taming Sweet Potato Vine & Other Chores | Gardening with Creekside
If you've ever used sweet potato vine in your garden, you probably understand what a vigorous grower it can be. Today I am taming my Sweet Caroline Bewitched Green with Envy sweet potato vine as she has grown too far into the yard. Using hedge trimmers makes quick work of this pruning job, and while we are in this space we will get a few more chores done as well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓
Jenny my sweet potato vine is trained on an arbor and it laughs at me every 2 weeks. If i cut off a foot of growth it throws out 3 more feet and takes over my chair. But that vigor is why we love them😂
Such good parents to teach your children a good worth ethic. I can't believe how tall Jackson is getting. Those hanging baskets are fabulous!

Love seeing young kids working hard. My girls always were (and still are at 29 and 21), and let’s just say it seemed a rarity. My husband and I can work exceptionally hard, too, as did our parents, so I think it must be good role modeling. Great job, mama!! ❤️
No black snake this year? No doubt Brynna has been on patrol to make sure everything is safe for mommy!

Great video so glad the sweet potato vine was pruned thanks Jenny. That yard gonna look amazing coming spring time especially with my magic lol
Because sweet potatoes are part of the morning glory family, it is safe for chickens to eat all parts. This includes its vines. They make a good treat for your chickens. Experts say the vines, leaves, and roots of the sweet potatoes are not toxic to chickens or other farm animals. Aug 17, 2022
Thise sweet potato leaves are edible AND delicious! 😋 🤤 😋
Pleasant video and you have great helpers especially the dog. ❤
Kudos to Jackson for helping you in the garden ❤ Next generation of gardeners in the making ❤
Great haircut for the sweet potato! I hope college is going great for your oldest:)

I hear ya Jenny! Most of August is spent just looking at things that need done lol. But saying, yeah, you can wait till the humidity & temps drop. We've had a bit of a reprieve from said temperatures once the hurricane passed over. Humidity is way down and the Temps have been in low 80's with a gentle cool breeze. It's been glorious ✨️
Little chores big impact! Yay!
Clean up is so satisfying. I plan to head to garden this afternoon to start fall clean up.
It’s so sweet how Jackson helps you. I definitely can’t get mine to help with bribing them. 😆
I love my trimmer! I have a Lowes one, but it's extra light weight and the battery lasts forever!! You're right! They are super handy to have around!

Jenny my husband just bought me a Stihl baby chainsaw that is battery operated. The bar is I’m guessing 8 inches. It’s for limbing up trees. Or cutting woody sprouts. We are a Stihl family too.

Jenny, those sweet potato vines are gorgeous! So envious of you and Laura from GA who can grow them that vigorously because you guys don’t have the deer issue I do that loves to eat them! 🥴😆 Those “natures chandelier’s” are gorgeous! 💗🤍 I’m going to try that recipe next season. Happy Gardening!

Jenny, Never thought of using a hedge-trimmer on a sweet potato vine--thank you so very much for showing us all this trick! 😃 Now I just need to replace my corded hedge-trimmer w/ a battery operated one so I'll no longer have to deal w/ the frustration & replacement cost of hedge-trimming thru another cord. 😉😊

My Lord. Jackson is growing as fast as the sweet potato vine!! Nice to see kids helping. You and Jerry have done a fine job. I went to Erin's website to buy that candle but out of stock!! Dang. Lol. Got on the email list to let me know when its available. 😊
Hi Jenny! I enjoy all your videos so much. I was wondering where you got those beautiful sounding wind chimes. Your gardens are absolutely amazing.
I definitely am doing something wrong. I planted potato vine in May. They were about 8” diameter. Now they are about 12” diameter. Look good and healthy, just not growing . Same goes with my coleus. I added compost and fertilizer. They are in a part shade area.
Oh my gosh Jenny! I live in Northern Utah and i just started getting that same weed! This is the 1st year I've seen it though. Its prolific!
❤
Good morning. Jenny, I know you said that you were selling shrubs only online to start. I have my list ready when you give the green light. Just wondering if it includes some boxwoods as well. You’re only five hours away and I’m dying to rent a u-haul. Soon, very soon!! Love you guys.
Good morning 🐅
I like your way of pruning the sweet potato vine. I would have probably sat on the ground, scooted along, while lifting the vine up and pruning with hand pruners at the base - way far in. This way is much faster.
I would like to know also. It showed up in my garden about 4 years ago and I pull it up and it comes right back. I would very much like to kill the seeds before I have to deal with it next year.
Hi there I'm a new follower and fellow American coop owner... I just saw you guys on Carolina Coops' channel... great job!!!

Can I borrow Jackson for a week, he is such a hard worker! I have to bribe my sons to do anything in the yard.
Don’t know what the name of the weed is, but it looks like one I had when I first started gardening. It produces delicate orange flowers and I thought it was a perennial! They’re very easy to pull up.
How many sweet potato plants did you start with in that area?
that weed is called Mulberryweed (Fatoua villosa)

Can you overwinter the dragon wing begonias? If so, how?
Is the weed black nightshade?
The weed sort of looks like a Cleome, but I assume you would know better than I!

I’m in Florida on a screened porch and I just got bitten with a large mosquito. How do you and the family handle this problem when you are sitting outside among all the flowers and shrubs?
Hi Jenny, could you spare Jackson for a while? Would he like a 'vacation' 😝 in Florida? I'm 80 years old and this has been a terrible summer in the garden for me and probably won't let up for a while still. Your gardens are looking wonderful despite the summer we have had in the south. Brynna sure is loyal to you. She makes side trips to check out other family members coming and going but always returns to your side. What's the story behind her loyalty to you?
I watch all your videos, and how have I missed your landscape lights! I’ve been looking for that exact look! What brand are they? Also, what is the name of the candle company? I also love the tea olive fragrance! Thanks for all the enjoyment and info you provide! 7b near Atlanta, so everything you experience is useful for me.

I’m suspecting they are like us. We live on 80 acres, the deer stay out of my yard, but the pasture and woods are full of them. They even walk the fence line to lick the salt block we have out for the cows. The deer have plenty to eat out of the yard. My mom in town fights them

I've given up on sweet potato vine. Such a thug. My dichondra silver falls grows and grows until it's dragging on my patio. This year, I planted some as a ground cover to moderate success. The weeds (mostly crabgrass) grew through it. 😠 I don't know the weed name you sought. Is it a bit clingy or sticky? I consulted Professor Google and entered lots of descriptions. Found a couple other weeds I am plagued by, Quickweed and Marestail. This year, I have a mat of a weed and I can't ID, but it's freaking me out as I find it everywhere. This is when Preen is our friend. I don't like to use chemicals, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Today's chore: load up the car with collected weeds to take to the community garden waste site. I hope I don't have any passengers, such as grasshoppers on my tarp 🦗
Not 100% sure, but your weed looks a lot like my white snakeroot that comes up that way....individual leafy stalks that pull up very easily....they bloom white in Sep for me in zone 6b.
