Hollis, you and your wife are an inspiration to me. I believe that God send people into our lives to help us on our way to Heaven.. You two are an inspiration to me!
+Robert Sine I believe that too Robert in that God places people in our path to help us cope with life's valleys and/or inspire us to live our life with eternity in mind.
Hollis, If we are an inspiration to you and Nancy. Then you and Nancy are an inspiration to Joan and I. God moves in mysterious ways to us, but never the less, it is His plan, not ours.
Yesssss! By His hands we are fed, give us Lord our daily bread! What good stewards of the earth you all are. Thanks for bringing the teaching. Gardening is sooooooo rewarding! 😊😊😊👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your container tater series has got to be the best and most informative I have EVER watched! GOOD JOB! Thank you for taking the time to teach to others.
Mmmm I'm not allowed to eat very many potatoes but I love them.my uncle in mt grew monsters in the garden. Watered them with river water. He gave a lot of them to the the church once he gave one to me that weighed at least 3 lbs quit when he was 91 years old. Miss him passed at 94 years.he did have an outside root cellar in his back yard..lived in town too. Enjoy your videos.blessings to you to.
It annoys me. And I’m sure I’ll get ugly comments for saying so, but I think it should be in the title or subscription name if you’re going to push your religious beliefs off on me. I’m not against praising God, but I do think especially in this political climate, we need to learn to respect others beliefs. The biggest misconception I see on the right is that people on the left are godless, but my leftist friends are more representative of the values I grew up with in Church. Maybe when evangelicals quit overlooking their own values to get what they want, my mind will change, but right now, it makes me angry. I’ll worship my way thank you very much.
How bout you worship your way and I’ll worship mine. No one is pushing anything. We are expressing our thanks to God on our channel. Try to get the cancel culture out of your life and you will be a happier person.
listen, I wasn't nasty, there's no reason for the "cancel culture" bs. I'm sick of being misled. If it's not this, I'm clicking on something with an English title but they're speaking a different language. I'm happy to worship my way. How bout making it more clear to people what you're all about? Cuz just "Christian" can't be true if "cancel culture" comes into play that easily...just sayin ;)
@@melothrien6774 Heather, What you're saying is nonsense. If you're offended by these kind and gentle people thanking God for the bounty.He has provided, then you're the one with the problem. The beauty of our nation and it's constitution and bill of rights is that it allows room for all points of view. Why have here freedom of religion, you however do not have freedom from religion. Just as you display freedom from religion, they have the right to express their freedom of religion. This comment pits you in the wrong. Oh, and by the way, Jesus stated in His Word, the cross of the Messiah is an offense to all who will not receive Him!! Lol it up!
It’s March 7th 2020 and I’ve been in bed for 7 days with the flu (hopefully not the Corona Virus.) Your videos are excellent, and I hope if I make it thru this I can start to plant using your expert videos!❤️😷😷😷😷😷
Wow. The world needs more people like you and your wife to show us how to feed ourselves. You explained all the steps clear and concise: like my University facilitator. I did not want to miss an episode. Happy growing to you and your wife.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I am starting up my very own aquaponics system. I feel confident with all the nuts and bolts of that. However, it occurred tome that I have no idea how to grow stuff or any kind of basic knowledge of gardening. My ultimate goal is to be able to help feed my community! You, sir, are an EXCELLENT teacher!!! I appreciate all of the drawings and explanations!!! Know that I am glued to my screen, soaking it alllll up!!! My community will eat better because of you!!! Thank you!!! And PLEASE, keep them coming!!! I gots a lot of learnin to do!!!
+Kristen Reinhardt Thank you Kristen for watching!!! What an awesome ministry you are doing by gardening to feed your community!! God bless you🙏🙏🙏 You will have a green thumb in no time. We hope our videos will help you help others. We are currently working on about 50 new videos that we will be releasing over the summer. Stay tuned😍😍🐶
My first year planting potatoes. You blessed me with so much knowledge in these 3 videos! May God continue to bless you and all you do! Thank God He created you!!!
God bless you both for sharing your wisdom, you're great teachers. It was very exciting watching you pick through the potatoes, I was smiling the whole time. Thank-you
Love your videos and your gratitude to God. As a note, Yukon Gold is a determinate variety, meaning it will only grow potatoes beneath the seed potato. Only indeterminate varieties should be buried deep as potatoes will grow all along their buried stems. Plant Yukon Gold about 4" from the top of your soil and you'll have a much higher yield. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing! "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance[a] upon you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
I've got a 20 acre homestead in north central Washington and followed your video. It worked extremely well. My soil here is sand and clay not a good growing medium so that is why I went to bucket growing. I started with 12 buckets and harvested a little over 74 pounds of Yukon golds this year I bumped up to 24 buckets of Yukon , pontiac reds and am trying 2 buckets of russets counting on a great harvest thanks for all of your great tips will let you know how it went. Kettleridge Homestead
Wow, im still amazed! Its like magic! God has given this world so many things to be grateful for. Thank you for sharing and teaching us how to grow potatoes.
Omg I was so excited.... I was like a little kid just waiting to see... I am definitely. Going to grow some potatoes... Thank you so much and may God continue to bless the both of you....
I’ve just started container gardening here in Florida. So far I’ve got 5 containers that I built from recycled pallets, which are about a foot deep. I plan on adding a couple of 5 gallon buckets for potatoes. Thanks for the information GREAT JOB!
When I was growing up, we had a big garden where we lived. We would cut up the seed potato up so that each one would have at least two eyes on it( one would shoot out roots and the other the stem). Dad used to fly racing pigeons, so he put the manure on the garden. Hot fertilizer it was, but made outstanding crops. We had a ferrow plow on a old Ford 9n tractor for harvesting. Always had enough potatoes to last the family all winter plus enough in the spring to plant. Every year we'd decrease one row of potatoes, but still have the same amount at the end. Keep up the good work, your garden's soil will get better every year!
I don't care what it cost to grow the potatoes it is very good to know how it can be done if the need would arise. Some day we may not be able to just go to the store and buy 10 lb bags.
I appreciate your time and effort involved in making the video. Also, I love your enthusiasm for gardening and the fact that you enjoy doing it together. Thank you. Giving God the Glory is just a bonus!
I just love you and Nancy to pieces! You two talked me into doing my own container garden this year. Now I'm no where near your level, I only did tomatoes, pole and bush beans, cucumber, radishes, lettuce, herbs and carrots but it's a start! We've been eating A LOT of lettuce cause I grew the cut and come again kind. My husband LOVES it too which surprised me a bit. He's a truck driver and I figured he'd be too worn out to help but he likes it. Thank you so very much for your inspiration. You are truly my favorite UTube family and I sit on pins and needles waiting for each video. I pray God continues to bless you.
+Lisa Booker Sounds like you are off to a great start!!! Working together in the garden is fun and builds many special memories together. The garden is a great stress reliever. Enjoy your garden together😍. Glad you are enjoying our videos. No pins and needles this weekend, we plan to release several for everyone to enjoy over the long weekend. Peace to you👍
Thank you so much for your videos. I always wondered how to grow potatoes. Extremely informative and in an easy to understand manner. Planning on watching more of your videos and checking out your Facebook page. Thank you and God Bless.
You got some great looking potatoes from those containers! We just harvested YG's from our containers and beds yesterday and got a few as big as the ones you pulled. People don't understand how easy and fun it is to grow potatoes. Love your channel!
Hi here in Sweden, we cook our fresh potatoes for midsummer. First, we scrub them in cold water. Then we cook them with salt. We eat them whit pickeld herring and sour cream sprinkler with chives.
Beautiful, I can't wait until my family and I are at that point. Thank you for the inspiration and by the Grace of God with your help along with Nancy we will get there.
I'm here up in Valdez, Alaska and looking to start potato's this year. I'm pretty excited and watched all 3 of these series of planting potato's and thanks so much.
Hollis and Nancy, Thanks for the video. I did grow Russet potatoes in grow bags for the first time this year (late spring for late summer/early fall harvest) and watching you harvest those Taters and the ease of separation and reclaiming the soil, sold me on doing all my potatoes that way next year. I have the russets for fall harvest in big grow bags and will be harvesting my Yukons from the spring planting in my raised beds in the next week (~60 days out and tops starting to yellow). I also have russets in the beds and they will come out in about 2 weeks. Sorting on the tarp like you did is much simpler than the careful digging and treasure hunting done when in a raised bed. THANKS!
I just found your channel and I'm in love with your videos! Thank your so much for your time and effort, you inspire me so much ❤️ you will soon find potatoes in my little garden as well, thank you so much for that!!
You guys are AMAZING, I'm staring to due my own vegetables and you explain everything so well.... Thank You Both. I will keep looking at your videos for my Information and Knowledge again THANK YOU
We watched your series months ago and decided to get 'er done. This evening we harvested our first homegrown 5-gal bucket of taters (yukon's) and got just under 2 1/2 #s!!! We were so excited that this worked and now we plan on getting those big blue buckets for our next attempt. Questions: Can you reuse the seed taters again??? What happens if you eat the taters WITHOUT the curing process? How do you amend the soil to reuse? Thanks so much for posting these helpful vids! It gives us a bit of comfort knowing we CAN grow our OWN food-especially during these turbulent, uncertain times.
I just came back to watch this again, as I have some Yukon Gold sead potatoes on the way. Thanks again for your advice! I've used buckets before and thinking about planting in the ground this time... may be harder to harvest though 🤔
I was looking on where to get the seedlings. He stated not to use potatoes from the store. Please help me out and share where you purchased your seedling.
Hollis. You make me smile and have so much antipation on that first bucket. I was so overjoyed when I seen the first potatoe show its potatoeness to my eyes.
I've seen the other previous videos and seen soiling and the planting and depth and the height of the soil at the 4,6,2 inches of the soil levels and how the plant were growing at their stages .which it was a very important part of the planting but the most gladness that I had was when you were harvesting the Yukon Gold Potatoes I had a smile 😁 to see such a beautiful harvest I'm glad to see this videos and learned a lot and the steps thank you for the information and introductions and instructions I've made a sketch of the steps which were shown thank you if there is a book that you have written please send it to the links I'm interested in purchasing.
That dog just wants the snuggles and kisses ❤ adorable. Great video. I've been watching lots of videos on potatoes 🥔 but this one was easy to follow, thanks!
Thank you so much for your videos! You have taught me how to grow potatoes and I'm so excited because it's almost time for me to harvest them. God bless you!
There is something so fascinating about watching Potatoes being harvested !!! I love it. I used to love to watch them open pearls onling LOL now I have forgotten about watching that and am so excited to watch garden harvesting ! Especially root varieties ! Yukons are among my faveorite potat !!! Yummm !
Praise God I just subscribe I love love love y'all's channel. Was feeling down. Doing my research before getting my garden started/together.. very informative. God Bless You
You are both loved by God, what a wonderful bounty of yucon gold potatoes, and all from buckets. How rich the soil still looked, as the buckets were emptied, you are right to reclaim the soil. All of us watching are enriched, and blessed because of your sharing, thank you. Blessings!!!
I just dug my potatoes up, and I am so proud of myself. My first time growing potatoes!!! I will do these every year now. Thank you both for showing me 'HOW'. I just followed your instructions and now I am going to enjoy them. THANK YOU for all your instructions, encouragement, cooking tips, and just being there.
After you plant and they start coming through keep topping up with soil it should help you with giving you a few more potatoes and keep watering them well too
Outstanding videos, I watched the 5 gallon tater vids. Glad I cam across yalls videos and what your doing...Love it and look forward to doing and watching your content...Blessings from S CA...
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank ya kindly...Love what you guys are doing...Very detailed, inspiring and fun...Thank ya for the welcome and glad to be part of the Fam...Lots of love to yall.
Thanks for the video. If I go this route, I'm gonna make a harvest table so I'm not crawling in the dirt. The dirt can fall back into the barrel and hauled away easily.
Hi! I’m in the research of starting our own little garden. I found you today. I’ve seen your videos for more than 2 hours now. Very easy to understand. I love how you make the draws and explain I’m a very simple way, and then your demonstration. I’m down here in FL. Hope to write you a limes when I harvest my first product in the near future. God bless you both.
I planted 2 barrels of potatoes ,one mini whites and another barrel of sweet potatoes at about the end of April. I hope they turn out well. I used 2 full size barrels but filled them up only about 3/4 full of dirt. I wish I could grow some Yukon Gold. They are they tastiest potatoes I have ever tried, even if they are instant potatoes. They are the best.
build yourself a table that has a section with 1/2 screen mesh built in, with catch tubs underneath. when you dump out your containers you can work the dirt thru the screen as your getting your taters. then you can take the tubs of dirt to your reclaim area. Your knees will thank you.
I have enjoyed watching you discover your potatoes as much as I love watching my grandchildren open their Christmas presents! So inspiring and educational:) Thank you ❤️
Hello Hollis and Nancy hope all is well just to let you know my taters have beautiful flowers on them lol and are healthy and green but falling over I keep watching your videos to keep up with the stages first time doing this thanks again and have a blessed day
I can't decide if I want to use the big buckets or the 5-gallon buckets, but I'm going to try this, this year. I've been gardening for 50 years and never tried to grow potatoes in containers.
We like to do both. Nancy likes to go out and harvest a 5 gallon bucket to get a bunch of small new potatoes for supper. They have a taste unmatched by anything in a grocery store. This way she can get a few at a time. Then we have the tubs to harvest for long term storage. 👍🥔🥔🥔
Fantastic crop. I am inspired! Wasn't going to plant potatoes this year, but now I am going to do just that. I so enjoy your videos Hollis and Nancy. Thank you Darlene Nova Scotia
Thank you so much for teaching other people how to start a square foot garden that they can start taking care of themselves with I watched you several years back when you first started doing all this that's what made me get back into the garden again I grew up on a ranch
Hi Hollis & Nancy, I was about to get so mad... I watched parts 1-3 on how to grow potatoes in containers... At the end of part 3, you said you were in late phase 5 and then you said goodbye. Where was the harvest, how did it turn out... I cant believe you left me hanging! Then a big sigh of relief and I found your harvest video, phew! Thank you for taking so much time with your video's... For those who don't need such descriptive instruction, can fast forward and just take in what they need. But for those like me, just starting out, your video's are so thorough and exactly what I was hoping to find! You guys are terrific and thank you very much! Got to go... This year my Cucumbers will grow Vertically on a trellis! Thanks to you of course!!! All the best!
+jack reich Thank you so much for watching. Very glad you found the harvest videos. There is a harvest video for each variety: Pontiac Reds, Yukon Gold and Kennebec White. Would love to see some pix of your cucumber trellis when you finish. Please post some pix on our Facebook page 👍. Have a peaceful week ❤️❤️🐶
It's better to grow them in 4ft tall by 1.5ft square wire cages. Plant the potatoes in soil 6in deep and covered by 6in of soil. Then cover new growth with straw as it emerges right up to the top of the cages.
My son and I are just starting to get into planting ,we did a few watermelon and cucumbers and sunflowers. We want to start on potatoes we live in the bay area in California I don't know much about my zone (didn't even know we had quick particular zones for planting LOL). So we thank you from the bottom of our heart we watched your three potato videos from start I love them and we learned a lot . God bless you and thank you for taking your time to show us new tricks I hope me and my son can start hopefully tomorrow Sunday on the potatoes.
To me, the best thing about home grown potatoes is the ability to dig them up and fry them up right away. They have a completely different flavor. Is there a reason you let yours sit for awhile first?
+Victoria Wadsworth Oh no, we eat some immediately. I let them cure for two weeks so the skins are tougher because we like to eat the skins too but you can eat them as soon as you harvest them. Letting the skins cure also promotes long term storage. I didn't do a very good job of explaining that on the video
Hi folks, this is Len from Edenvale near Johannesburg South Africa. Enjoyed learning how to grow potatoes in buckets and will be doing so as soon as seed potatoes are ready. Will let you know how they turn out , OK. Climate here is how rainy summers and dry frosty winters. Now in the middle of summer, being in southern hemisphere seasons are opposite to yours. Also pleased that you give all glory and thanks to the Lord our God. Amen.
Hi Len. I'm from Mayfair,Johannesburg and I'm very curious to know if you tried growing the potatoes in the bucket. If so, were you successful and would you do it again?
When the flowers bloom and it starts to turn brown and leaves falling off, etc, do you continue watering as this is happening? I assume so, but just want to make sure.
Hollis, you and your wife are an inspiration to me.
I believe that God send people into our lives to
help us on our way to Heaven.. You two are an inspiration
to me!
+Robert Sine
I believe that too Robert in that God places people in our path to help us cope with life's valleys and/or inspire us to live our life with eternity in mind.

I can't wait, tipping the buckets and gathering the potatoes from each one, is going to be so exciting. 💕😀
So exciting to see you giving glory to The Lord! LOVE these videos. Do you happen to have a FAQ list anywhere?
You Guys are Awesome. People don't know how much they are Blessed for giving us
It’s like treasure hunting! 😃 Great Harvest! Nice job!
We watched your series months ago and decided to get 'er done. This evening we harvested our first homegrown 5-gal bucket of taters (yukon's) and got just under 2 1/2 #s!!! We were so excited that this worked and now we plan on getting those big blue buckets for our next attempt. Questions: Can you reuse the seed taters again??? What happens if you eat the taters WITHOUT the curing process? How do you amend the soil to reuse? Thanks so much for posting these helpful vids! It gives us a bit of comfort knowing we CAN grow our OWN food-especially during these turbulent, uncertain times.
I like to clean and use the small ones right away in stews or clam chowder.
it's pretty exciting watching the potato reveal! Thanks for sharingy our videos. Very informative. Grow on and God's continual blessing to you both.
+Joanne Major
Thank you so much for watching!! The harvest is actually fun! 😀
I just came back to watch this again, as I have some Yukon Gold sead potatoes on the way. Thanks again for your advice! I've used buckets before and thinking about planting in the ground this time... may be harder to harvest though 🤔
I was looking on where to get the seedlings. He stated not to use potatoes from the store. Please help me out and share where you purchased your seedling.
@@patriciaann8380 I get mine from Gurneys. They have a beautiful variety of potatoes ☺️
Hollis. You make me smile and have so much antipation on that first bucket. I was so overjoyed when I seen the first potatoe show its potatoeness to my eyes.
+John MacLellan
Me too!! 😀😀😀
I've seen the other previous videos and seen soiling and the planting and depth and the height of the soil at the 4,6,2 inches of the soil levels and how the plant were growing at their stages .which it was a very important part of the planting but the most gladness that I had was when you were harvesting the Yukon Gold Potatoes I had a smile 😁 to see such a beautiful harvest I'm glad to see this videos and learned a lot and the steps thank you for the information and introductions and instructions I've made a sketch of the steps which were shown thank you if there is a book that you have written please send it to the links I'm interested in purchasing.
That dog just wants the snuggles and kisses ❤ adorable. Great video. I've been watching lots of videos on potatoes 🥔 but this one was easy to follow, thanks!
Bing Bing sends you a little doggie smooch ❤️🐶❤️
Thank you so much for your videos! You have taught me how to grow potatoes and I'm so excited because it's almost time for me to harvest them. God bless you!
I always come back to your video, Thank God for you guys! Be blessed and continue growing 😊

I used to love to watch them open pearls onling LOL now I have forgotten about watching that and am so excited to watch garden harvesting ! Especially root varieties ! Yukons are among my faveorite potat !!! Yummm !
+Jessica Perez
I love to watch small children harvest container grown taters. They get so excited!!!!! Makes me smile❤️❤️❤️
Praise God I just subscribe I love love love y'all's channel. Was feeling down. Doing my research before getting my garden started/together.. very informative. God Bless You
Welcome to the family Sharon!!! Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
You are both loved by God, what a wonderful bounty of yucon gold potatoes, and all from buckets. How rich the soil still looked, as the buckets were emptied, you are right to reclaim the soil. All of us watching are enriched, and blessed because of your sharing, thank you. Blessings!!!
+Fred Woods
Thanks for watching Fred. We are truly blessed and thankful to Him😇
Sooo cool! You make me want to grow potato’s 🥔 !! 🙌🏻

+SHARON SHORT
A quality tater!
Just came across your channel! Love it!
I just dug my potatoes up, and I am so proud of myself. My first time growing potatoes!!! I will do these every year now. Thank you both for showing me 'HOW'. I just followed your instructions and now I am going to enjoy them. THANK YOU for all your instructions, encouragement, cooking tips, and just being there.
Well done Karen👍👍👍Keep up the good work❤️🥔❤️🥔❤️🥔❤️🥔
After you plant and they start coming through keep topping up with soil it should help you with giving you a few more potatoes and keep watering them well too
Blessings and thank the two of you for putting so much time and effort into your videos!!
I just want to say how much I LOVE your videos. You guys are awesome!!!
I have really enjoyed these potato videos, particularly the harvest ones as your delight is so evident. Thanks for sharing these x
+Cate T

Thank you so much for watching. God bless you 😇
Outstanding videos, I watched the 5 gallon tater vids. Glad I cam across yalls videos and what your doing...Love it and look forward to doing and watching your content...Blessings from S CA...
Welcome to the family ❤️
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank ya kindly...Love what you guys are doing...Very detailed, inspiring and fun...Thank ya for the welcome and glad to be part of the Fam...Lots of love to yall.
This is the exact video I needed. Mine have not bloomed but are dying back. I am going to do this one one. Thx. Great video
Thanks for the video. If I go this route, I'm gonna make a harvest table so I'm not crawling in the dirt. The dirt can fall back into the barrel and hauled away easily.
Good thinking👍
Hi! I’m in the research of starting our own little garden. I found you today. I’ve seen your videos for more than 2 hours now. Very easy to understand. I love how you make the draws and explain I’m a very simple way, and then your demonstration. I’m down here in FL.
Hope to write you a limes when I harvest my first product in the near future. God bless you both.
lovely. can u replant the seed potato. also can u reuse the same soil?
You can replant the seed potato if it is in good shape but always use new soil for potatoes
I planted 2 barrels of potatoes ,one mini whites and another barrel of sweet potatoes at about the end of April. I hope they turn out well. I used 2 full size barrels but filled them up only about 3/4 full of dirt.
I wish I could grow some Yukon Gold. They are they tastiest potatoes I have ever tried, even if they are instant potatoes. They are the best.
+Newsman Andy
Good luck with your taters, let me know how they turn out👍
build yourself a table that has a section with 1/2 screen mesh built in, with catch tubs underneath. when you dump out your containers you can work the dirt thru the screen as your getting your taters. then you can take the tubs of dirt to your reclaim area. Your knees will thank you.
I have enjoyed watching you discover your potatoes as much as I love watching my grandchildren open their Christmas presents!
So inspiring and educational:)
Thank you ❤️
+Chrissy Stepford
It is so fun to harvest them. Feel like a kid again😀😀😀😀😀🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
Let the potattoes cure? lol Those would be gone before the end of a weekend in my house. Love fresh potatoes :)
You have the best explanation abou how to grow potatoes. I feel confident to do it now
Can you use the seed potato the next season? Great videos! Thanks
Hello Hollis and Nancy hope all is well just to let you know my taters have beautiful flowers on them lol and are healthy and green but falling over I keep watching your videos to keep up with the stages first time doing this thanks again and have a blessed day
+Mom Of 2
Sometimes they fall over in Stage 4. Tie them up with some heavy garden string. Won't be long now and you will have some taters 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
I can't decide if I want to use the big buckets or the 5-gallon buckets, but I'm going to try this, this year. I've been gardening for 50 years and never tried to grow potatoes in containers.
We like to do both. Nancy likes to go out and harvest a 5 gallon bucket to get a bunch of small new potatoes for supper. They have a taste unmatched by anything in a grocery store. This way she can get a few at a time. Then we have the tubs to harvest for long term storage. 👍🥔🥔🥔
Fantastic crop. I am inspired! Wasn't going to plant potatoes this year, but now I am going to do just that. I so enjoy your videos Hollis and Nancy.
Thank you

FANTASTIC😂😂THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE😂😂😂NOW I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO =TATER SCHOOL😂😂😂😂
I bought a bigger canner because I’m going to be canning potatoes this year. I’m so excited
I love the way you end your videos
🙏
Thank you so much for teaching other people how to start a square foot garden that they can start taking care of themselves with I watched you several years back when you first started doing all this that's what made me get back into the garden again I grew up on a ranch
When did you plant? What month? How long did you wait before your harvest?
Hi Hollis & Nancy,
I was about to get so mad... I watched parts 1-3 on how to grow potatoes in containers... At the end of part 3, you said you were in late phase 5 and then you said goodbye. Where was the harvest, how did it turn out... I cant believe you left me hanging! Then a big sigh of relief and I found your harvest video, phew!
Thank you for taking so much time with your video's... For those who don't need such descriptive instruction, can fast forward and just take in what they need. But for those like me, just starting out, your video's are so thorough and exactly what I was hoping to find!
You guys are terrific and thank you very much!
Got to go... This year my Cucumbers will grow Vertically on a trellis! Thanks to you of course!!!
All the best!
+jack reich
Thank you so much for watching. Very glad you found the harvest videos. There is a harvest video for each variety: Pontiac Reds, Yukon Gold and Kennebec White. Would love to see some pix of your cucumber trellis when you finish. Please post some pix on our Facebook page 👍. Have a peaceful week ❤️❤️🐶
Same watched those long teasers and didn't get a harvest lmao... next day this video is recommended to me.
Why are the seed potatoes useless once pulled back out the ground.
You are the best farmer I know since since my childhood. Thank you for your videos. It's helping me so much.
Wow, thank you
It's better to grow them in 4ft tall by 1.5ft square wire cages. Plant the potatoes in soil 6in deep and covered by 6in of soil. Then cover new growth with straw as it emerges right up to the top of the cages.
My son and I are just starting to get into planting ,we did a few watermelon and cucumbers and sunflowers. We want to start on potatoes we live in the bay area in California I don't know much about my zone (didn't even know we had quick particular zones for planting LOL). So we thank you from the bottom of our heart we watched your three potato videos from start I love them and we learned a lot . God bless you and thank you for taking your time to show us new tricks I hope me and my son can start hopefully tomorrow Sunday on the potatoes.
Best of luck to you with your taters ❤️
What month did you start your potatoes and what month did you harvest them? How many weeks do they take to mature?
+Caterina
I started them in early April. They take 85-110 days of temps above 50 degrees F until ready to harvest👍
I live in Las Vegas and have been growing vegetables. Never tried growing potatoes but I will now. Thank you for the wonderful informative videos.
+Kathleen Daugherty
Thanks for watching Kathleen. We love the way homegrown taters taste! Best of luck to you with your taters 👍
To me, the best thing about home grown potatoes is the ability to dig them up and fry them up right away. They have a completely different flavor. Is there a reason you let yours sit for awhile first?
+Victoria Wadsworth
Oh no, we eat some immediately. I let them cure for two weeks so the skins are tougher because we like to eat the skins too but you can eat them as soon as you harvest them. Letting the skins cure also promotes long term storage. I didn't do a very good job of explaining that on the video
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead many thanks, I'm really enjoying your videos and have learned a lot. :-)

Hi folks, this is Len from Edenvale near Johannesburg South Africa. Enjoyed learning how to grow potatoes in buckets and will be doing so as soon as seed potatoes are ready. Will let you know how they turn out , OK. Climate here is how rainy summers and dry frosty winters. Now in the middle of summer, being in southern hemisphere seasons are opposite to yours. Also pleased that you give all glory and thanks to the Lord our God. Amen.
Hi Len. I'm from Mayfair,Johannesburg and I'm very curious to know if you
tried growing the potatoes in the bucket. If so, were you successful and would you do it again?
Hi Zahida, thanks for your message . No I haven't but still planning to do do and will surely let you know. Kind regards.
@@lentonwienand762 Thanks for your response Len.
Have a lekker weekend.
When the flowers bloom and it starts to turn brown and leaves falling off, etc, do you continue watering as this is happening? I assume so, but just want to make sure.
Lorraine Smith I think not. When they turn yellowish brown and look wilting, I think that’s when you stop watering.
Stop watering completely during stage 5
