Hoss is pretty much out of stock on potatoes =( I got some other seeds from them, but a lot of the seed companies are very low in stock. Bad news if you need seeds, but good news to know so many more people are looking to grow their own food.
I just love your beautiful smiles and the happiness that just always seems to be there at your farm. 😊
I like you little whipper snappers. :)
You Always make me smile. You remind me of Truth, and you pull me back to what's important, in ways you may never understand.
I love you. I appreciate you.
Stay safe, and keep smiling.
I love growing potatoes. When harvest time comes, it’s like digging for treasure! You never know what’s under the ground. Will there be 4 potatoes? Or maybe 6? Or 9? Oh it’s so fun🙋♀️🦋💜
Wow love how happy and smiley you guys are!
Potatoes for days! Good stuff y’all!
You guys will love growing potatoes.
They are the easiest crop to grow in the garden.
Good luck.
Can't wait to see Harvest. My Grandfather planted 2 different times. 1 set early and other late. He said got same yield from late planted as early. He always liked to try different things. Stay Safe, God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏❣️
You will love the purple potatoes!
You'll have a great harvest
You will love the purple potato, they are amazing and make fun chips, and also they taste a bit nutty. Mash potatoes are awesome with them
It's a hot potato day 😆😆
Have a good day🌻🌻🌻
Love you guys and your videos. We grew potatoes in the Ruth Stout method last year...we loved it. Best potato harvest and onion harvest (planted them together) that we ever had....Only 1 word of caution from one Kentucky homestead family to another....it was a snake magnet. Them snakes were even having babies in it. As soon as we realized it, we wouldn’t let our 4 yr old near those beds again. Super easy to harvest, didn’t need much watering, weed control was as easy as tossing on more straw or hay. The plants grew like crazy...we still have about 150 to 200 potatoes left from last season and we are huge potato eaters around here...homemade French fries,fried taters, mashed potatoes, hash browns,baked potatoes and so on. Hope your all have even a better harvest than we did. ❤️ Oh, we did add rabbit poo to every plant. Don’t know if that was the reason for such a huge harvest in the hay or not...but thought I would let you know. Happy gardening.
And a side note to your PICKLED EGGS... OMG.. I had one tonight, made it the day you posted the vid about it.... Unbelievable flavor!!!!! Still letting them marinate you will....Thank you for the recipe!!!!💕💕💕
It was fun to watch Rae Rae and her little pink buckets in speed motion! She's too cute 😍
Where was Wyatt? He needs to get outside more...hahaha! Love you guys 💕
I remember back when I was a teenager and we lived on the farm, My Momma and I would sit on the porch and cut potato slips while my Step Dad prepared the ground. We lived in Arkansas and it got hot and humid in the summer, but, whenever it came potato digging time, I loved it, getting down in the dirt and finding the Taters as we called them lol. Good memories. You all stay safe and well. God Bless Y'all.
Thank you guys stay safe💕🎈
Don't worry about the noise from the animals. I love hearing it. Music to my ears.
I love you guys! Do you ever have a cross word between you? Your smiles are as infectious as your joy of life! Jennifer is just fabulous, she radiates love & positivity.
Your site is a real tonic at the end of a stressful day in these times.
Thank you :)
Hope the potato harvest is prolific. Loved watching you plant. Yea, it is time to garden plant.
Thank you for sharing. I grew potatoes two years ago in five gallon buckets. I wouldn’t mind trying this way.
Had to go back 'cause was watching that sweet pink bucket girl swirling those around. So So lovely. Can't afford straw but will try a banana box raised bed. Forget the channel right off. But watch YOU lovelies every time you're on, except those QA sessions. I try for a while but am a little impatient. You all are so awesome!
I canned my Yukon Gold potatoes last year and they were sooo good. Nothing but salt and water. They come out tasting like buttered stewed potatoes. Amazing. God bless y’all.
Great video! You guys are just a lovely couple.
Old potato farmer here... we always cut the potatoes... but we only farmed 1500 acres.....sooooo. Minnesota is potato country too!!
I watch you cutting and healing them over and kind of laugh. Growing up my parents grew hundreds of pounds of potatos. Every year we would cut them then put into 5 gallon buckets of water and let soak for a day and then plant in holes with dirt mounted around to pull into plants as they grew. We never had rotting potatos and always got a huge yield. To this day I still do it that way. It's funny how we do what we are taught.
I've also watched my neighbor start with a tire and mulch as plant grew had add anothervtire and more mulch. Had go 3 high and to harvest had just remove tires.
I planted potatos for the first time last year I didnt cut them I just put them in the ground and it was so rewarding picking them. So much fun
Dears everything is looking great
Love your signs!
Oh yeh, using the signs ,too!
Thanks for the info on seeds. Stay safe and god bless 🥰👍
When I was small, 50 years ago, we always went to my grandpa's farm in the spring and all of the grandkids would plant potatoes. We planted enough for all our families. He used pony teams to farm.
I planted red potatoes...but not as many as yall did...hope mine grow good it's my first time doing potatoes 💚🌱💚
I'm finally figuring some things out..💚🌱💚
I really appreciate the details about the whole potatoes vs. just using the eyes of the potatoes.
I LOVE IT! MY HUSBAND AND I DON'T EAT A LOT OF WHITE POTATOES WITH ME BEING DIABETIC BUT I CAN HAVE SWEET POTATOES AND I PLANTED THOSE FOR US THIS YEAR. LOVE Y'ALL AND STAY SAFE.
My absolute favorite is the purple Viking. The outside skin is purple and fascia and the inside is the whitest creamiest tasting potato. Something to possibly try in the future. It grows large potatoes that are very disease resistant. Good luck! Growing potatoes is fun!
Diggin potatoes is fun because you dont know what your gonna get!
Love that you always work as a family and together in your goals.... really love you guys! 💕
Thanks for this! I'd been wanting to try the ruth stout method for potatoes. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
My tater peels in the compost pile grow big taters. The big potatoes farms here in Michigan all use cut potatoes. I like the Yukon gold and Pontiac reds. But now I got to try the German butter. I used to live in Kentucky. In Allen county.
Thanks for the tips! I know out west people would throw potatoes in a ditch. They would cover this with hay in the fall. When you came back in the spring there were potatoes! Or maybe it was done in the spring and in the fall there were potatoes? But I didn't know how to do this on flat land. Now I do!
Digging potatoes is like a treasure hunt. The kids and the big kids will enjoy it.
Thank you so much about growing potatoes in straw . I can do this .
I got my potatoes from Hoss this year, too. Greg and Travis are good people! My Adirondack blue potatoes were the first out of the ground in about 9 days. I don't cut mine because I am outside of Chattanooga and we get so much rain, I feel like the whole potatoes protect a little bit against rot. Oak leaves make really good potato mulch if you have those around.
I just ordered some seeds and that liquid fish fertilizer (after ya'll talked about) from Hoss Tools. It took 3 days to get my order!!! Very impressed! Placed another order this evening because I need more seeds to expand the garden. Thanks for sharing your experience with their seeds and company can't wait for my harvest!!
I grow my potatoes in burlap coffee bags. Works great!!
S Mor would love to hear your process of going about planting in a coffee bag😃👍🏽
@@bonnied3550 its super easy. You can watch videos on RUclips of it.
Making this Idaho girl proud. Love taters any way I can get em.
Yukon golds are my favorite too. They were going to be my only potatoes this year but I decided to plant some other ones too with everything going on. I've never heard of the Austrian Crescent. Guess I'll have to try it. The signs are cute!
The blue potatoes cook very quickly.
I really like watching you guys!!! Many I have been watching for many months now are really rude with ppl since all this quarantine has started. No I don't have a homestead and don't plan on rushing out to start one. I'm just saying ppl are scared through all this no reason to be rude with them. I quit watching some because of that. I love y'all's smiling faces in a world of chaos. Thank you so much
I have never had much luck with potatoes
I think the size of the set may effect yield because the plant will have a better start with a bigger set. But that would work only to a certain size.
Why is there 2100 views but 300 likes? These 2 deserve a like 🤨👍
I do love following Hoss Tools. Lots of good info. But they are so expensive on their potatoes
I planted mine in a plastic tub & 5 gallon bucket
I don't cut because if your spring is damp the cut potato will rot or get fungus easier. Yukon Gold is 1/2 as productive as red varieties. I grow the Yukons anyway because I like the flavor.
Great video! We always cut. I've never tried Ruth Stout method. Always hilled ours. May have to try this. GOD bless
Depends if they are determinant or indeterminate whether you hill or not. Determinate will not grow more potatoes if you hill, indeterminate will. Check gardeningknowhow.com. Not sure what Jen and Zack’s are except for Yukon Gold.(determinate). One of my favorites. Good for canning. Less starch
Beautiful!! I just might be over for a potato dinner some time :) ha ha!!
(FYI: ad-er-RON-dack) Love ya'll
Nice job guys!
You will love them!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
So jealous I’m still in lots of snow 💕💕happy planting
I'm able to do a similar thing with tomatoes I just thin slice then lay them down and cover with just enough soil so you cant see em..weeks later tomato sprouts ready for thinning if u choose so
Great job guys, going to have lots of "taters" blessings
I love to hear the guineas. Reminds me of back home in the hills of Ky at my Grandmas house!
My brother in law plants potato, he does 4 kinds, and he cuts his in half, my favorite ones are the red ones, so good in Cralfish boil .
Can't take my eyes off of yr plaid shirt! Love it! 😘
cool, Routh Stout in action. Id like to see how it works fo yall?
Potatoes are very easy, perfect for beginner gardeners. As always - keep on keeping on Yall. ❤ Blessings Yall
Gemini Homestead when we first started growing our own food potatoes were the easiest to grow.
@@CelticRootsFarm they really are, many Blessings Yalls Way
Can't wait to see how the potatoes turn out!!
You should try magic molly potatoes I’ve tried so many purples and it’s my favorite I didn’t know you’ve never grown potatoes I would have sent you some I had way too many to plant I have a small yard and had to plant them in every nook and cranny I could find to not waste maybe next year😔
I know my Granny use to cut hers as well. I can’t wait to see how many y’all get. And I do enjoy the purple ones.
thats my 4 favorites!!. im in zone 8a so mine are up and poppin!!
We cut as well. This year like many people we are growing more of everything especially potatoes. BTW you guys are so cute😊
We always cut ours at my mom and dad's. Last year I left it whole in my grow bags and I think it did better cutting them so I cut them this year. I plan to grow some in the fall too.
I have done both, cut them and whole. I have always done it that way and i still get a lot and there all in Bag's. You take care.
I love you guys!!! Love the signs!! I'm actually getting ready to plant my potatoes in the same way.... only i don't have any compost so I'll be doing it in soil with straw... hopefully they do well. Be safe stay healthy!! Blessed be as always!! 💕💕
Gonna be a lot of potatoes lol😁
Thank you both. I just checked Hoss and it looks like they are sold out as well. Cheers, Ardith
Ok guys....questions here. Do potatoes have to be mounded when planted? Also...why do you put straw on them? Oh...and how do you store them so they stay good all Winter? Sorry about all the questions. I have never planted them before. One reason being... my hubby says you get potato bugs...not sure how true that is. Have a great day. Love you guys. Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
It’s was like an Easter egg hunt for me.
Loved the potato beds and that you found a great tasting blue potato. Most we have tried weren't that good. Let us know how you take care of the notorious potato bugs. Blessings
I planted spuds couple weeks ago, I hope this cold spell didn't hurt them. I planted red and russell in 5 gallon buckets hoping for about 4 lbs from each should be enough for me n hubby
Thank you for the info on the potatoes. Where do you buy your potatoes in burlap bags?
I like the idea of cutting because if something happens to take out a plant you've got more plants in..sort of spreads out the risk I guess..
I want to watch your yield,see how many you get. Interesting how you did it. Good luck and be watching.
I planted whole last week and the week before. We got ice all day long yesterday so I am worried. Thank you for explaining about cut vs whole
Sooo...earlier you talked about growing more of fewer crops and then preserve them. I took that to heart and am doing that. It looks like this is one of those crops that you are doing that with, am I right?
Potatoes are actually one of the most difficult things here with our clay soil. And straw and compost are too expensive for this magnitude for us. Someday I hope we'll be able to grow enough for storage.
We have KY clay...so I feel ya. Lol. We also had land grading work done so our front yard...where we grow our potatoes, has NO top soil. Last yr we used Ruth Stout method to grow potatoes in our front yard...with rabbit poo mixed in the hay. We had hay, and wasn’t willing to pay $6 a bale for straw. Lol. We had an amazing potato and onion harvest from it....also did broccoli,cabbage,and cauliflower same way. They also did great. BUT, this yr we are making compost fast track for the hay beds.....and it’s ready in 14 days. Layer about 4-6 inches of cut grass,hay,cut grass hay...after every layer, lightly spray mixture below on it, then add next layer and sprayer mixture...keep doing it until the pile is about 3 ft tall. Cover with a tarp, turn the pile around 7 days and put tarp back on it. 14 days, it’s fabulous compost ready to use. Mixture: 1 - 12oz can of beer, 1-12oz can of cola, and 8 oz of ammonia into a garden hose sprayer...like those miracle grow sprayers in stores. That’s it, quick, easy,cheap, compost ready to use. It’s called drunken compost. Lol it’s not organic, but if you don’t add anything else to it for 5 yrs...then it will be.
@@NorthnSouthHomestead Interesting method I've not heard of before, thanks for sharing!
@@dustyandchelseamcclellan5670 You’re welcome.
I tried whole last year and didn’t get as much as the couple years before when I cut. I’m definitely cutting again this year.
joyful half acre We’ve had better out comes with cut potatoes as well.
I'm actually trying to grow some in small plastic pools, no clue if it'll work, but there's only one way to find out!
How do you keep the japanese beetles off them?
did y'all make a video of the harvest?
Looks good, looks like you going to get a lot of potatoes out of those. One thing I've noticed everybody's planting potatoes but I don't see anybody planting sweet potatoes. Are those more difficult to grow or people just don't like them. I love sweet potatoes.
Depends on climate where u live. Sweet potatoes need warmer soil temperatures when you plant.
@@jennymiliano6554 yeah I'm in Texas I know they do a lot of sweet potato farming here. Thanks I didn't think that maybe their weather doesn't allow for it.
Sweet potatoes are easy to grow. Some garden stores sell them as bedding plants or you can grow your own slips from a sweet potato you already have. Even the ones they sell as decorative plants will grow potatoes in your flower pots.
Where in kentucky asy you all....I live in eastern ky....East end of mountain parkway ..
How do you know when they are ready to pick? Also just wondering if you could tell me when you know watermelons are ready?
We ordered a lot from hoss tools but they were all out of seed potatoes 😕 we had to go to stark bros.
pronounced CĪ LEDGE tarp.
never had the fingerlings or purple ones.
Potatoes are easy to grow & a basic food item that cheap. You can make a meal out of them. And with the things that are happening cheap easy food to help you get thru this.
You guys are so freakin'cute.
You don't even know how cute you are.
I guess it was too warm in my house. I cut them up, laid them out to dry and they molded!
Hoss Tools are out of stock on potatoes. Maybe they will restock soon.
