Love seeing the boys helping. They know where grocery store food comes from. Hopefully they will keep it up through their years and have garden some day. Love your videos and your personality. Thanks for all the great teaching you do. My 2nd year container gardening and its much better than the 1st. Thanks 😊
Like your drip irrigation for the raised beds. Can you explain how you or why you connected everything inside the bed? It’s looks cleaner than going up the side with the supply line.
i really love your videos! I'm just NW of you in Harris County GA. I'm a novice at veg gardening, so I really count on your info on raised bed vegetables. Keep it up, you are appreciated!
If I remember right when I grew Egyptian onions mine didn't make bulbils the first year. I can't wait until you talk about your Louisiana Evergreen Shallots because I harvested mine and I can't wait to tell how many I got in one year from just the 10 bulbs I ordered from you! Anyway, the kids did great with those potatoes. Nice harvest!
I always learn a lot from you!! Thank you!! When you planted the sweet potatoes, the first one you put in one plant. The next hole, it looks like to put a bunch of plants. Can you explain this? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Some of the plants are just a single stem, while others are branched. If you look at the root, you'll notice that they all look the same at the very bottom of the sweet potato plant.
My 3rd year growing potatoes in ground. Last 2 years I grew in thick mulch, and the gophers and squirrels didn't bother them. This year I didn't mulch, so I could fertilize and then hill them. Literally the day after I hilled, the gophers attacked, been 2 weeks, half the potatoes are gone. My sarpo mira, they haven't gone after yet.... crazy, I can't honestly believe it had anything to do with mulch...
My sons helped me dig taters. I'd break up the hill with a digging fork and they'd go behind me digging out the taters by hand. My granddaughters help now. However, this will probably be the last year they help. The oldest graduated HS and works and the younger one is in HS and will have a job this Summer. I cut back on my planting from 20 lbs. of seed taters to 15. LOL Next year I'll probably just plant 10.
It's not that we don't want to grow them, or can't grow them. we have. It takes the whole of season. Our last frost is 2nd week of May, 1st frost in Fall, last week of September. 4 full months. We just simply do not have the weather, the temps and humidity needed to cure them properly. We've tried. TYFS just the same.
Travis, hoping you can help me. I'm a huge fan of your channel and value your input. I have an overgrown weedy garden bed that measures approximately 30X35. I'd like to do a polyculture cover crop this summer to combat some of the weeds and enrich the soil. If you were doing Seminole pumpkins, cow peas, sweet potatoes and melons in what order would you plant them? Which plant next to which? Hoping you can help me. I'm in zone 9A north central Florida. Thank you for your knowledge.
I'm little help on that kind of stuff. I think if you plant all that in the same plot, you're going to have a big mess. You'll end up trampling some stuff while harvesting the other stuff. It might sound good on paper, but not sure it works in reality.
There's no walking onions in my garden yet either. The ones I got from you are very healthy looking and about 18" tall. How long does it take for them to start walking?
Hey Travis! Question: what ratio mix of agrothrive do you use on fruiting or established plants and do you use agrothrive on your fig trees? I only remember what you used in the green house. It’s going to rain in 1-2 days here but my tomato plants look like they need a little nitrogen. Can i beat the rain or will the agrothrive just wash away? Thanks for helping all of us. I’ve shared your videos with gardening friends. 😊
It shouldn't wash away. I usually do 2-4 oz or so per gallon of water for established plants, but I rarely measure. Just a few good glugs in a 5 gallon bucket and I pour that alongside the plants.

Those kiddos in the garden is the best part! My daughter helped me plant all of our beds this year and it’s special.
You are so funny "I feed the snot out of them"!! 😅😂
The boys are getting very good at helping!
Love seeing you teach them boys some good values! God bless yal from Roanoke VA
Great potato harvest. Awesome to see you are teaching your boys to work and garden.
Shadecloth does wonders if it gets to hot for plants
Mist system and shade cloth. We have strawberries growing like crazy in Tucson Arizona. 104 degrees, no problem.
The boys did a great job.
Fried sweet potatoes are so good. Love a little burn around the edges!
You've got some precious young men!!❣️

Planted my sweet potatoes today. Son brought home another bunch to plant tomorrow.
Like you, I got plenty in ground multiplying onions, and I got a few of the bulblets but no walking like an Egyptian!
I always learn a lot from you!!
Thank you!!

I love seeing those boys out there with you. Can’t beat those little memories.
Sweet potato harvest! Sweet potato harvesters too🤗
How do you store them?
Under our barn. We'll cover that on an upcoming video actually.
Could we see a video of how y’all fry them in the future when you get them up?!

Great looking potatoes 😋
You sure do have wonderful helpers 🙂
Sweet potato greens r great too… eat them like a spinach cooked or raw… loaded with nutritional value😊
Should be getting my slips in the mail soon. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊

Nice harvest! Those boys did a good job, I think a little friendly competition really got them going!

Yeah my parents took advantage of the child labor to 😂. Nice potato harvest Travis.
How was the multiple Travis 20x
I wouldn't say 20. Probably closer to 10x
Those boys are hilarious! Great job fellas

No idea.
Travis, question for you, sweet potatoes don’t need to be hilled?
It doesn't hurt to hill them.
@@LazyDogFarm Thank you 😊

@@LazyDogFarm thanks! You’re my hero today 😃
Looks like a lot per bed - won't that be packed tight before too long??
It might be, but I'm willing to find out.
Love to the boys have a little competition. Lovely potatoes there. God bless 🙏❤️
You sure can grow them taters... And you have some great boys that are growing up just as fast.
20 taters😂 he also caught 6 lb crappie.
Gotta watch that one! lol
I was going to try sweet potatoes this year but 5 slips cost 30$ where I am and to me that is just too much cost.
You mean OkRee?
Yep. I slipped up and said it wrong. lol
Two words: eggplant parmigiana!
How does shampoo Mira taste
Really good!
