Once my zucchini is established, I will prune ⅓ of the large leaves so the pollinators can see the flowers easier. Once it starts setting fruit I feed with more phosphorus. I also mulch with straw to prevent the soil from drying out so fast and stressing the palnt. I get some almost the size of my arm. Good luck 😊

New fear unlocked. Hoping it hasn't put you off growing this year. Subscribed to find out.

it looks like holy beach!

Very realistic...real nice time of the day..

Those are some powerful bees, they sound like aircraft. How do you like the grow bags?

Yellow cucumbers are mature the vine will now die as it’s mission is complete.

Its over ripe. Stayed on the vine too long

Cross pollinate with yellow squash

Save the seeds!!

Sweet

Watching from Nairobi Kenya..the mulching was too much.. I was expecting you to get a snake instead...

Poor return

thats a great harvest beth.

Good 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

i dont think honey bees would sting, i think that seems more wasp/hornet like.

So, i am wondering if you should of left that first plant grow for longer, not many taters on it. granted if you can get any plant to multiply the mass of food brought in is a win to me . although i consistently want bountiful yields of crops and minimal cost and maximum efficiency

Interesting video!

What's the equation for a perfectly ripe potato

Have only been growing potatoes for about 3 years. I think my Norland Reds do the best in my buckets. I love the size of your grow bags where did you get them? Amazon only has crap from China and I refuse to buy it.

Wow, amazing harvest👏👏👏👏👏 🤗🌱💚🌱

Beautiful abundance! Wonderful crop! CONGRATULATIONS‼️🌻

My seed potatoes got ruined in a power outage. I had to do the same thing so I bought 3 types of organic potatoes from my local grocery store. The turned out fine. For the price of 2 pounds online I got 3 bags worth. I already saved my seed potatoes from this years haul. I plan to plant a lot more next year. Great video. Sorry to hear you got stung. Little buggers.

I've learned from 1 experience that container growing potatoes don't work. I got 11 baby's.

They’re probably ground wasps

Did you fertilize? Did you wait long enough to harvest. It just seems like to me you should have gotten more potatoes for that size grow bag. But overall, Nice first attempt.

A couple of years ago, as I was harvesting potatoes from a large grow bag, something began to sting my arms. Turned out to be a nest of tiny black ants! Very painful, and later, extremely itchy! I no longer harvest without a pair of long gloves and a trowel! Lesson learned!

What happened to the purple potato harvest? I really wanted to see that. Wonderful yield. Good job!

I hate math😄😄😄✌️

That's sooo cool.

That hurts!

I got a new 13-acre farm in Upstate NY! I'm gonna try this trader joes potatoes n try this whole thing out. Looks like it'll be yummy!

Awe hope your feeling better. Sorry to see the biting thing go on!

Let them chit in the closet? What's that mean.

Oh no! That was startling! So sorry you both got stung! I hope it wasn’t too hard to harvest the last bucket.

Love the video mate Great harvest there from 1 little bag They work well those potato bags I subscribed to your channel mate Let's stay connected 👍👍

Could they have been wasps and not bees?

would they have grown bigger if you waited until the vines were dead? or store bought just don't grow that big?

Yellow jackets make nests in the ground. They are aggressive. I have a lot of honey bees from my brother's hives around my potato bags but unless you trap them in your clothes or squish them under your arm or something, they don't sting. Night time is the best time to deal with nests because they tend to rest then.

Be sure to save any green potatoes as seed potatoes for next time

Hello Beth. Thank you for sharing. Got my taters in the bucket. . My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, I had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me and the family.

Organic potatoes grow great thats what I do.

That a wonderful harvest 🥔 👌👌👌

I’m guessing because you had the purple potatoes planted in mulch it was the mulch that attracted the bees, best to stick to growing in soil I guess? Great harvest though.

Not bad at all.

🥔🥔🥔👍

Hallo und Danke gut und interessant Abo von mir Josef XX

Odds are they are wasps not bees if bees sting they die. Wasp tend to be way more aggressive.

New here glad I found you, keep the videos rolling. Learned so much within seconds of watching.

Yikes.

I’m doing an experiment with my potatoes I’m saving all my banana peels drying them and then crushing them up and putting them only in my compost for my potatoes because of the potassium wish me luck.
