Harvesting in The Morning! Trying to Beat the Georgia Summer Heat
I’ve always had ants or pincher bugs in tater plantings then read to plant radishes so I did this year. Radishes did grow no bugs. I’ve never had luck with seed potatoes. Used organic store bought taters well aged this year excellent harvest!! A local said to get seed taters from my local southern states store or my local coop. I’m trying that next planting.
Hi, new subscriber!
you might wanna ad some sharp sand to your beds forpotatos carrots beets and such. It will help make the soil looser so you can just pull up the plants. You did a lot better than I did my first year.
I Love potato harvests videos it’s like a treasure hunt. Also carrot and sweet potatoe harvest
We used to plant our potatoes in rows and hill the dirt up on the plant. That made it easier to harvest the potatoes because they weren't buried in the ground but more on the ground in the hill. We usually waited till the plant died before digging them up. Root cellars are great for keeping potatoes of any kind and other fresh vegetables too. Red potatoes, Kennebec, Russet, all good potatoes.
New subscriber, Here in montgomery county, Texas I plant my onions in November for sweet Vadalia onions & creole red from Dixondale farms here in TEXAS or hoss tools in georgia , I get my onions & seed potatoes from Hoss . My onions I harvest in April 317 beautiful onions , we dried on shelving . I stopped planting our tators in the beds due to my back , We use 20 gallon grow bags for the potatoes and even my sweet potatoes alot easier to just dump out .... God bless you I planted our sweet potatoe slips I grew myself the middle of May in the grow bags . Great harvest you got 👏 Thank you . Mrs josette Montgomery county, Texas 🙏
The music really caught me off guard 😂😂 But yeah I wouldn’t consider those onions a fail at all Im definitely gonna have to invest in some fleece because this Florida sun has a tendency to fry things as well
A baking sized Yukon Gold is a joyous thing. Well done!
Thanks! I hope I can do even better next spring.
I'm over in Athens, GA and we haven't had any rain since spring.
Good grief! This has been a hard growing season so far. Most of my transplants get fried the same day I put them out.
I had maybe 9 red potatoes i'd bought for my super worms to eat left over that grew eyes i weighed my harvest and got 15 lbs i also had planted some kennebec and haven't harvested all yet but i got about 25 lbs and still have more than a 4x10 bed left to harvest some kennebec some russett
You really have to let your potato plants die back more. You had a great first experience - they look great - but let nature do it’s thing.
@@Tzippy323 Thanks for the tip!
Nice. I had a bumper crop of Yukon Gold this year. I finished my harvest in April. I'm in the Fl panhandle and get two crops per year. My next planting will be in August.
I hope to get something out of these russets I planted. It's so hot now and they are looking a little sad, so we will see.
@@starrbabyhomestead Gardening has gotten harder since 2011. I noticed a change then. Gardening can be heartbreaking, and it makes me think of the old timers that relied on their garden for survival. We can always head to the grocery store.
New sub here, planted my russets in ground early may, soil was great then, now i get water logs in that soot so am worried about rotten potatoes, but as soon as i realized that i ordered grow bags and put a bunch of potato seeds in them bcz dang it,,,, am harvesting potatoes come hell or high water this year😂😂😂
This weather has been insane. I am worried about my russets too. They look pretty sad. But you never know. I thought this harvest was going to be bad and I was pleasantly surprised!
Wow ❤❤
❤❤❤
It's the fun of digging for buried treasure, or watching someone dig; you never know what you're going to get.
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.
I love growing cabbage also,I harvested 15 lbs today.
Amazing harvest.
@@growingmyown Thank you! It was fun to grow.
I love that tool you're using.
It is neat! That was a gift from an old boss when I bought my first house. I have no idea what it is called and I have never seen anything like it in stores.
I am one of those people who love to watch potato harvest, you did well for your first time.. New friend here from Growing My Own.
Good morning, how are you? That was an awesome harvest. I love the Yukon gold, which is my favorite. I grew them this year. My first and I will grow again.
Doing good! I will grow Yukon again. That was fun!
@@starrbabyhomestead I never thought you could grow potatoes in your own yard. I love it....
@@deborhasmith6285it’s cool 😎 I’m using different grow bags & buckets 😅❤🎉
Awesome
They look great🌟
Try a different variety.
Yes, I am going for Mursaki sweet potatoes this year, ordered from Gurneys.
I call the Korean sweet potatoes “dessert potatoes.” I’ll make extra and just eat them cold straight from the fridge. Lot fewer calories than Ben & Jerry’s 😉
They are sooooo good!
Oranges and apples. I’m so jealous of those peaches haha
I want to grow apples too. That's my next fruit tree buy. Any pointers?
Thanks For Sharing
I did this for the first time, and 3 heads came back ❤
Isn't it amazing! I'm still eating cabbage from last fall year because of this technique.
Let them grow crazy until they turn brown...that helps the roots of the asparagus..
Thanks!
Baby you be proud of them first i got my first broccoli last year 3 nice size heads so congratulations
Thank you! I'm growing broccoli this Spring. Wish me luck! 💗
Op
@@starrbabyhomestead much luck wish me some too b cuz this will be the first time I try to do spring broccoli and cauliflower 😁
I think your tree is going to do well, but it may take a few seasons. I've pruned a some that were in similar condition and it's kind of daunting the first time. As a general rule I've read and heard from multiple sources that it's good to limit pruning to about 1/3 of the branches and not get carried away. That has worked well for me. That way you can also monitor how the tree reacts and make adjustments next year. I'm also a big believer in mulching -- it saves a lot of work and creates a nice environment for the root system, conserves water, maintains soil temperature, etc. I hope you enjoy the peaches!
Thank you for the info. Hopefully, I didn't prune it too much. Fingers crossed!
We love strawberries! I need to go to our local nursey and see if there's strawberries available yet. What zone are you in?
Zone 8!
I love starting seeds. I have more to start in about week. Waiting for my haul to get here. I have a grow station in my basement now. I used to start them back a window and mine was getting leggy. When I saw that they were getting leggy, I just potted them deeper. I don't prick mine out. I put 2 seeds in each cell on opposite sides. Love the video🍅🧅🥦
This is my first time pricking out. If it becomes too much of a hassle I'm just going to multisow and thin out. LOL
@@starrbabyhomestead Lol!! I hear you on that. Just see what works best for you.
At least you scored before the warning 😊 Have a wonderful day 🙏
Great work 😊 You have so much going on.. Can't wait to watch more of your content 🎉
Yes 🎉🎉🎉 Growing time 😀 I subscribed to your channel 🙏 Many blessings..
Thank you! Let's support each other. 💗
@@starrbabyhomestead you're welcome 😁 Absolutely, I'm here if you need me 🙏 Many blessings to you and your family..

Pruning is one of the things I have yet to master. Thanks for sharing.
Hello. Tfs. I would love to take out our hedges, but my hubby would have a fit. He.hasnthenfront lawn and I have the back sort of 😅. Happy gardening
Have you dealt with soft rot before? Any suggestions or tips?
That is a lattice. hehe
Beautiful video 🌱
Love the idea with leaving hedges on the ends but yeah not a fan either of so much hedging right by the home like. Lol and I agree get those Ivy's out lol it'll look much nicer.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. Your Homestead is looking good. You are getting it together. I am with you on the dry skin. Yes wear those gloves. Nail looks great. Have a blessed day
Your videos are a work of art, my friend. The dedication to your craft and the stories you tell are truly commendable. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Great Idea I will try it myself What is your zone I saw you put a cover
How big do the secondary heads get?
Depends on the size cabbage you grow. Mine are small, a bit bigger than a soft ball. I get a bunch of mini heads between Brussels size and plums.
@@starrbabyhomestead Thank you. That would be worth the effort, which is basically zero, to get a few small ones.
Those cabbage looks really good. Thanks for sharing your garden with us. Happy gardening
Happy New Year! 💖
So many different ways to use pomegranates. I know your family loves to taste test all your new recipes. Your videos bring peace and happiness to my heart and your dog makes me laugh all the time.
