Just letting you know that you’ve officially corrupted me and I whispered “chuhmomuhlay” to myself today while I was organizing seeds 😂 Also, I ordered my first batch of seeds from Botanical Interests this year and everything is germinating really well 🙌👍👏
Fact about Stinging Nettles: if you touch one and it starts to sting: find a fern, break off a leaf at its stem. Rub the white juice from the steam where it stings, it should cause the stinging to go away. We learned this on a school camping trip back in 02.
I've heard the back of the fern leaf works. We have a lot of ferns and nettles on our property. I actually have a lady coming from an hour away to come get some Nettle from us.
Nettle actually works on itself too.... if you can get it without getting stung again, chew a leaf up a bit, then put it on the sting.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
@@GoingGreenMomyup. Nettles are their own cure.
Did you know that yarrow has anti-hemmorage properties? If you're in a survival situation and become wounded, you can apply a head or two of yarrow flowers to coagulate the blood loss
You spanking that cheeked up radish had me dying 😂
Jacques is shaking his head, thinking "He should have aerated that potato bed with a fork". 💚😆
😂😂😂
Up next.... Jacque intros a new product.... plant tags made out of old forks.
This is my 3rd year gardening and we are finally planting potatoes! I'm stoked.
We did it our first year, got like 600lbs somehow, skipped last year, and now we are aiming for 1000lbs this summer :)
PDPD should be a REAL holiday. Booty radish BOP BOP
Potatoes! ❤🥔
Please consider making more content for those of us limited to container gardening 🙏🏻 I just purchased some terracotta pots and two Greenstalks, and I can’t wait to start planting! 🤗
He has a lot on container gardening on his other channel Epic Gardening. I'm sure he has one on container potatoes.
Garden answer posted a video today about planting her greens talk full of herbs, but also check out his back catalog of videos!
Yes please!
I'm in Maine, and I do daikon to close the beds starting around late August/September. I like what they do to the soil, and I can harvest what I want up to the first really hard frosts. Daikon is great. Like a natural tiller, and that tap root must really mine deep down and bring good stuff up to the surface.
Do you happen to have clay or compacted soil? I heard it's a great crop to start out with for that kind of soil. Plus pickled daikon is delicious.
I have pretty good soil. Daikon is great for all soils, but you are right, especially compacted soils. Pickled daikon and carrot is the key to one of life's best sandwiches, the Vietnamese bahn mi.@@trayvixk4642
Are the flavours different in a fall planting in comparison to a spring planting?
Now that is a lusty laugh, brought on, I am certain, by the first vestiges of spring. Well done, Potato Daddy - how on earth did you know my favorite nickname for you...? Well, one of many, depending upon the season...
Well, chit the bed! 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
So cute!!! Carve a tomato, cucumber, and an artichoke next.
8:31 when you said “neat and tidy self “, I got a visual flashback of Mr. Miyagi‘s backyard from the Karate Kid.
Love the carvings, hilarious. Like Easter island meets veggie tales 😂❤
The pepper wooden man looks like Jose jalapeño on a stick from Jeff Dunham comedy tour😂
Wow…
What wonderful, wacky whittlings of wood 😁
Planted one in a grow bag today. Waiting on the rest to create their eyes 🫡
You don't have to wait, just plant them, they will grow the same. Just think of the potatoes you missed from previous seasons, it still sprouted and produced potatoes.
Im really pushing for a 3 season garden this year. I'm in Western WA East of Tacoma in the foothills. I upped my orchard by planting a David The Good style Grocery Row Garden. So far with pear, 3 plum trees and blueberries, rhubarb, gooseberries, fig in between the trees with, onions and potatoes filling some of the other area in that 4 foot wide bed. Will be getting more out soon. So excited for my monster expansion this year.
Days like this when I am so ready to be outside in the garden I really want to move to San Diego.
Just put in a row of 'Bellanita Fingerling' potatoes in Vancouver (8b). We're back to seasonal coolness after a stretch of much warmer weather, but any frost danger is past. Always exciting to see the start of the season.
Also, stinging nettles should not be consumed after they’ve flowered, it can mess up your kidneys.
I've been waiting for the sign 🤩 I ❤ 🥔🥔!!
Favorite point of video - the "booty" radish 😂😂
Right out the gate grabs the stinging nettle like its nothin lol!
I love your little wooden dudes. They're great!
I like your Potato Party Packs
Carved garlic bulb, dragon fruit and chicken egg 🎉
Next carving: Strawberry face or eggplant, maybe bell pepper. love these, my grandma used to make folk carvings. cool stuff
I need to consider growing some potatoes 🥔
We plant on Valentine's day here in south Texas. I planted Yukon Gold and Red La Soda this year. They are coming up already.
We need a tribute to the cabbage you lost. Add him to the squad 🙌
I potted up a bare root fig, lilac, and thornless blackberries today. All of my seedlings (under lights) are stunted and stressed. Changing their soil today. Just waiting for seed potatoes to be available locally. I grow them in bags here.
Love the carvings! Enjoying watching your late winter Southern California garden! I envy your growing season. That Garlic was definitely Sexy!
I love the weird root crops, that's the fun part!😂
Quicker way to hand digging. We use a post hole digger for planting. Much easier on your back😊
Wood Prairie is who I get my seed potatoes from also. Never fails. And in one of my beds, even though I think I have always gotten all of them out, they keep coming back. LOL.
I ordered my potatoes from the same place this year! It’s too soon for mine to arrive but I have most of the same ones in your first box. I love the carvings. My vote is for a carrot, next. You know…people would buy these, I bet…
Your garden looks so awesome and I love the open layout in the back garden. I'm so jealous of your growing season (we still deal with snow thru April/May in Denver). Hopping over to Wood Prairie Farms to buy my spuds now. Go Potato Daddy, go! LOL 🥔
Just planted my potatoes this morning! I wasn’t planning on it but i forgot about my potatoes from the store and they sprouted, and they got about 8 inches long and started to make leaves 😅 threw about 3 small potatoes in (2) three gallon containers
Your pepper carving looks like it belongs in Plants vs. Zombies. That game would give you an endless supply of carving models.
Omg! The carvings are fine! A man of MANY talents?
Cool seeing the turnip results. I might have to try those potatoe 🥔 boxes. There are a few I have not tried and grown.
Juice the tops/greens of your veg and put the dry pulp in your compost or chop/drop. Utilize all the calories you can. Get your micro biome off the grid as much as possible and watch cravings/personality change. ♥️
so ready for potatoes! cute totems kevin!
Potato daddy back at it again!
Oh I'm gonna plant my fave type of potato : supermarket 😂 thanks to you I am now having fun with buckets!
Yeah....so I got a foot of snow this week and with the wind temps are between -24C and -39C. I would say you are doing a little better than my indoor seedling greenhouse.
Bro has the ancient easter island genetics carving those totems.
Obviously you need a Brassica to round out the squad
I wish I had more time to garden. I have a 7 month old and he gets all my time. I stayed up late late to plant peppers and tomatoes on Sunday. Only way to have a large block of time to play in the dirt lol
I just remembered how good sauteed beet greens are.
I like that earthy outside chopping block
I just started my brassicas on a heat mat this past week, along with some chijimisai and tatsoi. VERY excited to get the season going when the weather gets a little warmer!
for some reason the lil totems have the same vibe as the Muses in the animated Hercules movie
I've found each chit is a plant. 2 chits = 2 plants, 3=3 and so on. When planting without chitting, there's no way of knowing
how many plants will pop up, or if the potato is even viable. If in ground planting it's not as critical as there is room for the
root system to not crowd each other out as much as it is in buckets, where they are confined. Generally more plants equals
more potatoes, but smaller in size either way. Just an observation from over the years of growing them both ways.
Would love to see a reveal video when you harvest these. 👍👍👍
TYFS Kevin
My seed potato order is on the way, getting excited! All of the ones I saved for last year are ready to go once it comes time to plant them here in MA!
The potato totem reminds me of the "California Raisans" from the eighties. My southern heart still breaks whenever you compost turnip greens.
No scraps for the chickens? I know you did it off camera. I plant potatoes in about two weeks or so here in Rio Rancho, NM.
I have been trying to get a grip on potato and sweet potato
Sweet potatoes are growing pretty well. They got a lot of sweet potato bugs but otherwise healthy. They are probably here because I also have water spinach which they also feed on.
meanwhile, I keep having rot problem with potatos. I find it very hard to determine the appropriate amount of watering that would not give them rot, especially when rain's involve.
Obviously The Onion Daddy needs to add a little onion dude to the greenhouse carving squad!
I have had a terrible first two years of potato harvests (got four potatoes from two plants first year and about 20 small ones from 10 potato last year) but I'm ready for a good harvest this time!
Nice carvings maybe you can do some carvings of like a tomato cucumber, a carrot, but make them like a little people
I literally just got done sorting my Wood Prarie Farms delivery. Sat down to my iPad, and this is the first RUclips video that popped on my feed. Once again, impeccable timing.
As someone who has a cold winter, a little jealous of all the green, cant plant here until may :/
It just snowed a foot where I live the last two days now we have a huge blizzard and it’s snowing more we’re completely snowed in…. So….haha
I put my Hobbit Bait (aka 'taters) in the ground last week \m/
I'm planting mine on Sunday! 🥔 ❤
Always picking on Jacques! 😂
Challenge yourself with a sunflower totem!
in zone 4 ground is still frozen. So jelly!
Love the carvings ❤❤❤
Love ur little carvings
I'm in zone 10a. first time planting carrots, and hungarian peppers. Love your carvings, think you need an eggplant.
In addition to pickling daikon, you can pickle other types of radish, and also turnips and beets. Pickled beets are a nice snack when drinking. When you finish eating a jar of pickled beets you can use the left over pickled beet brine to pickle eggs, which are also a nice snack while drinking.
My brassicas just "broke ground" (indoor germinating) a few days ago - and I am STOKED. Hoping to get those and onions in the ground by first of April. Herbs, flowers perking along ... 'Maters, cukes, peppers, and other true summer veggies must wait .. but getting really jazzed about this season.
My garlic is no where near that big up here is zone 6/7. Planted carrots 🥕 turnips and some sprouting onions 🧅 yesterday
love the energy this video! 🥔
Happy PDPD !!
Haha Eric those wood carving totems are awesome!
Make a sunflower totem. Now that would be nice :)
I’m growing some Dave Wilson fruit trees in your fabric pots🌱
I can't wait! Winter continues to hang on here. Seedlings are ready, I just need Mother Nature's cooperation.
Carve a real Jacque with a hat and everything
Going to definitely grow potatoes this year. Have some growing eyes. Feels like spring coming up here. Mild winter for sure, excited for some gardening.
Carve a garlic head guy!!
Your walkway that you put in looks FANTASTIC!! Love it!!
I'm really excited for gardening season! Finally had a sunny, nice day here in zone 6.
I have been meaning to get my potatoes in but havent had the time to do it with managing a vineyard that needed to be pruned.
Always enjoy the content, Kevin. Suggest sharing with your audience the difference between determinant and indeterminate potatoes. All the potatoes planted in the video I’m assuming we’re determinate potatoes based on how they were planted. We find many nurseries don’t label potatoes their determinate potatoes for backyard gardening. Gardeners growing in containers may find indeterminate varieties more amenable so they can fill as they grow, but they would have to plant differently if they were determinate.
You should try growing Korean radishes. They get huge and they usually don't have the sharp radish/daikon spiciness. They make great great kimchi!
Potato daddy!
I would give the greens to the chickens.
I have a special compost in the chicken run
Maine potatoes are the best. Sebago lake maine here. Best seafood ever. ❤. Just received greenstalk and book for son and his gf balcony. Thanks ❤
Love the squad well done. 👍🏻
Carve a carrot shaped guy and a radish to join your carvings
Love the carvings. How about a carrot guy? Apple?
old man jacques 😂
Thank you for all that you do and share, and many blessing to you and yours. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hello from Central FL zone 10a! This cool season, I was able to try my first real attempt with potatoes, I went with 3 large grow bags for 3 types of potatoes (Yukon gold for obvious reasons, Russets, and Reds). We had about the wettest "dry" season I've heard of for a long time around here, so they didn't do as well as I would've liked, but I ended up getting a respectable harvest from them! I'd say I got around 3-5 variable sized potatoes for every seed potato planted. It's sort of ridiculous how much better they taste when this fresh, and it's sort of hard to describe.. because it is distinctly potato, but.. better.. more tender.
I may not be a Potato Daddy quite yet... but maybe a Potato cousin? or Potato fun uncle? lmao. Happy harvests
That’s a front butt radish 😂
