A great harvest! Rebel potaties - growing where they shouldn't be :) Am jealous of your broccoli, mine isn't growing well at all this year! Bon appetit!
Thanks!! The broccoli is growing in a pan with last year's potato soil, which I added an equal amount of rotten kelp. 😀 it's doing fantastic! I also mound up soil or mulch over the roots. Keeps them cooler and less likely to bolt on me
Thanks!! I had volunteers in that bed last year, so I guess these are volunteer volunteers. They also accidentally cross bred and got two new varieties as well. I'll be planting those new ones in a future video
Great programme. Your love of potatoes is infectious! What a great little harvest of volunteers, and, this, still early for harvesting them. I hope your carrots thrive just as well. I like how you garden and what you share with us. I really liked the look of your turnips. It speaks well for keeping your own seed. Also, I noticed that you didn’t pull the flower from the one onion. Do you plan to keep the seed from it? Thank you for your very enjoyable programmes. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis, Ontario, Canada.
Thank you very much Larry!! Regarding the onion flower, I'll just let it go and see what happens. I have several others as well, some from last years onion, so the seed should develop well. Though I've read that when growing allium seed, one should not have different varieties within 1km of each other. They cross-breed quite easily apparently, so the seeds may not be true to type of the original parent.
@@foggylanegarden Yes, the onion seed may not reproduce exactly, but, then again, by cross pollination, you might just get a better onion for your area. Here I am thinking of cross-breeding vigour. This might not apply to onions, but I know it applies to chickens. Just a thought from a rank amateur. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis, Ontario, Canada.
looking ok. carrots coming along nicely lots of room to grow now and loose soil around them.. cheers
Thanks! Yes they should be nice and big come October!!

Nothing like fresh potatoes for your efforts.

Enjoy your potato videos. Interested in growing Brigus Blue. Where can I find seed? Gardening in southwestern Ontario.
So that's what happened to ur carrots !
