Thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge. Not much of a green thumb, but looking to take advantage of the land and growing some edible crops.

I really can't believe some 4 people can opt to dislike as well. Sir you and mam are both so cute and your all videos are amazing. I recently developed the interest in planting vegetables in my backyard and among all informative vides, yours are best. Your all techniques are super awesome.

Hollis and Nancy I watched your vids on potato growing in containers...very interesting. I too am a hobby farmer. Something I would like to suggest/ get your opinion on. What I have seen in commercial potato growers is that about 3 weeks before harvest the farmers " kill the top growth with herbicide. This does two things: it helps the skins to form and also it helps to "size up the potatoes". While I know you don't want to use herbicides like me also. Instead you can gut the tops off the plants and leave them for 3 weeks before harvesting. This will drive all the nutrients to the tubers to enlarge them. This also works for rutabages and beets, I remove 70 percent of the leaves for the last 4-5 weeks of growth, this leads to larger yields. I don't know if you ever tried this. I live in Newfoundland, Canada and we have challenges growing potato due to a virus in our soil province wide( it was imported many years ago from Ireland and was the main cause of the potato famine in Ireland which caused a lot of Irish to Immigrate to North America, unfortunately they brought the virus with them with their food stuffs. Luckily Kennebecs are one variety of potato that is resistant to the virus. Anyway keep up the videos and God Bless.

I didn't load all the comments but why would you not eat the seed potatoes? I've never grown potatoes before.

I am very happy to view your video, I definitely try to grow my own potato and thanks for the details instruction. Thanks again
-
Instructive video! A couple of questions if I may: the soil is supposed to be kept moist but what if you get several days of heavy rain, are those hole at the bottom sufficient for drainage? Also do you have any advice as how one can keeps ants from invading? They are a bane in my garden... Many thanks for posting!

Have y'all decided or already purchased your homestead, or are you still looking for one? I am curious if you will stay in the same state or move to a more southern area where you have a longer growing season....
-
love the videos. I'm new to gardening. When do you plant the potatoes and when do you harvest?
-
I'm from northern Maine potato country when we cut potato we can't wait to let them cure. So we add lime to cut seeds and we plant them that day and they dry quick. Just a little hint so you don't have to keep them in living room. But great video.
-
Can I just use the small golf ball size potatoes I got out of the last harvest? Would that be safer than cutting a large potato? And give some use to those annoying small ones I'm always getting.
-
great video, I really enjoyed it and stay blessed
-
Thanks for ya'lls help! found the blue tubs at Lowes and did find some Korean sweet potatoes at our local farmers market. I found some purple potatoes as well!

-
great video and channel! (just found your channel). We love growing potatoes in buckets. oh the suspense!
-
I've just Subscribed what a great video I'm in the Uk Thanks
-
Hey there! Great video on potatoes! I was just curious as to why you planted the whole potatoes at the end vs. the cut up potatoes. Is there a difference in growth between the 2? Or was it just because you had more potatoes than buckets? ;)
