Folks, I swear by shade cloth, for several
different reasons. If you get your potatoes, or tomatoes, or peppers, or whatever in the ground later then you really wanted, or you live in the deep South, then invest in yourself a roll, or two of 30 to 40% shade cloth. Basically just get yourself 4 garden posts, or wooden posts, or even bamboo, then just put a post in a square, or rectangle shape at all 4 corners to cover the plants you want to protect. I would get posts that are at least 7 to 8 feet tall. Then you just drive them far enough in the ground for stability, and just basically stretch the shade cloth on top of the posts and you can staple it to wood, or tie it to steel, and your golden. What this will do is allow your plants to get that early morning, to afternoon sun, and late evening, up until sun set sun, but it will protect them from that mid day sun, when the sun is in the middle of the sky, and at its hottest point. So many of our seeds we purchased call for complete, all day sun, but this is complete hogwash. This will extend stuff like your tomatoe season, and honestly a whole lot of the diseases like blight, and many different insect infestations happen because your plants are stressed out from all that blazing sun and heat. Remember, a stressed plant, quickly becomes an unhealthy plant, which leads to disease and insect pressure. Even if you live somewhere like deep Southern Georgia, you will be shocked at how much cooler it can be under a 40% shade cloth, in the middle of the day, we're talking about 10 to even 15 degrees cooler in some cases. And keep in mind, these aren't like full dark shade, they still let some sunlight through.
Cave man taste buds and unicorn soil. 😂😂😂
My wife said, don't be hating on people that like field corn, that she likes field core. 😂
I like field corn also. Especially Hickory king. It isn't too sweet.
Travis is a little crazy sometimes. You just have to overlook my friend. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have to use the inhaler almost every day, so I know what you mean. It seems to be worse when certain things are blooming. I enjoy seeing everything green up in the Spring but by the end of June I'm ready for fall and winter. One thing is for sure there won't be any of those problems in heaven, and I'm looking forward to being there.
I planted Yukon gold and Red Lasoda and got a really good harvest of both from containers.
Even a reveal of 3 potatoes is a win. 1 tater in, 3 out? I wish I could get that at the bank!
Now, having said that, we've been looking for Sarpo Mira's for several years and found
them finally last year. Expensive but, they were on kind of a bucket list. Had to have some.
We ordered a 1lb bag. Which was 12, ping pong ball sized potatoes. Sounds like a ripe off,
but it wasn't, just over a pound actually. We planted 8, in ground, 3x5'bed, and 2 each in
10 gallon buckets. Mid September I couldn't wait any longer, plants still green and growing.
Pulled 1. 4.5lbs! Talk about a happy dance. When all was said and done we reaped
somewhere north of 45lbs! This year we planted 33. 3, 3x5' beds with 11 potatoes in each.
3 times what we planted last year. Hoping for over 100lbs. FREE.
1lb in, 45+lbs out.
Most of the time, here on You Tube, it's a publisher that recommends a product. This time the
product had a pop up for a discount from a publisher, Lazy Dog Farm. Who? Had to check
them out. Whoda Thunk It. Thanks Wood Prairie & Lazy Dog Farm!
First year growing potatoes in the ground. I grew rose gold and got 8 times harvest. And purple Viking got 13 times harvest. Had to harvest early due to rain. Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated.
I have about 40 seven gallon grow bags that are finishing up right now. Baltic Rose and Huckleberry Gold and a couple Sarpo Mira that were left over from Fall. I haven't done any scratching so I have no idea yet, but we have had a pretty perfect Spring here in Charleston and everything is banging. My cucumbers have completely covered my arch, Early Girl tomatoes have been red for weeks, peppers everywhere. Life is good. Hope you feel great quick.
I live in the NC foothills. One year I was getting Kennebec potatoes from my garden in January. Where I live we can harvest yukon gold potatoes in June.
That purple viking was the flavor winner last year for me
I just harvested my first order from wood prairie seed potatoes. I planted White Kenbec, Baltic Rose and Huckleberry Gold, one pound each and returned 13+ pounds with Baltic rose more than double the other two. Looking forward to eating them. 9A NE Florida.
Purple Viking potatoes are my absolute favorite❣️
Hey 🖐🏽😊 your Florida weave saved my in pots tomato 🍅 plants during our direcho, Houston storm last week. Tyvm 💪🏽🙌🏽
21 plants and didn't lose a one.. one green mater 🍅 fell off 😂 but I just ate it. Again,thank you
I hope you get better soon
First year growing taters and I grew them in old city recycling bins. They were heavy but I was able to pick them up, flip them into a wheel barrel, sorted out the taters and then dump the soil back into thr containers, ready for the next thing
Waiting for mine to be ready we are a few weeks behind you 😊 garden is popping
I LOVE watching your videos. I know, whenever you harvest something, I can wait about 2 weeks, and it’s time for me to harvest the same thing! ❤
Y'all are gonna love the Charlotte taters!!
I grew some last year for the first time and they were outstanding 👌
Just wanted to let you know that your biofumigation advice worked really well. I struggled with nematodes for nearly 40 years and was about to give up on gardening. This year I've got probably the best garden I've ever had and haven't found one root knot in my earth beds or containers. Thank you so much.
Great to hear!
Potatoes are fully worth it for me cause I grow from the year before leftovers. I grow mostly kenebec cause the store well.
I admit I love grilled in the shucks field corn at the milk stage. I also like it cut off the cob and fried in bacon grease until it's slightly scorched. Don't underestimate cave men. LOL
I've had high yields of Red Pontiac but there are a lot of better varieties. It led to me being prejudiced against red taters for a long time. I only began growing red skinned taters when I started ordering seed taters instead of buying them at the feed and seed store.
As far as varieties commonly available, I believe Kennebec is the best all around, multipurpose tater. Whatever Red Pontiac is supposed to be good for, Kennebec is better. LOL I didn't plant Kennebec this year.
Golden Globe is similar to Yukon Gold, and it tastes better and has higher yields. It's eat up with late blight this year.
Wow I can't wait to see how mine is going to do
I bought Baltic rose from Wood Prairie Farms 2 years in a row. My biggest tater I’ve gotten is about golf ball size and I may have gotten seven at the most. I’m gonna try again next year. I’m gonna buy them in October maybe September. I’m in zone 10a/b and they really don’t like it here in Southwest Florida. Still I keep trying. Lol. This year was my biggest harvest and I did it in grow bags. The problem is the plants die way before they should and if I don’t harvest them then they turn to mush.
I got all russets, baking taters last a little longer, they laying down but still green, Im hopeful for fresh 4th of July bakers 🤞
I love your videos always great info as usual. I got Baltic Rose in my experimental kit from Wood Prairie and there was only 3 small seed potatoes that gave me a 4 lbs harvest and the largest potato I have grown ever last year that weighed a pound from grow bags. I grow my potatoes in grow bag as I don’t have the land space for in ground planting. I love the varieties from Wood Prairie I have tried Sarpo Mira, Huckleberry Gold, Baltic Rose, Prairie Blush, Elba, Caribe, Adirondack Red and Red Cloud. Some did well with first harvest others did better with the second planting that I harvested in fall.
I planted one raised bed with left over potatoes from last year and another bed with new Seed potatoes. At this point the new Seed potatoes has better foliage. Will harvest soon.
Viruses can accumulate in old tater seed stock over time. That's why the commercial growers always start with fresh disease-free seed stock each year.
Mold spores are very high....Nice looking taters. My taters are just starting to bloom
Determinant potatoes grow more laterally which needs less hilling. Indeterminate grow vertically so the more you hill the better chance you have of a bigger harvest. At least up here in the north
Great video thanks!
I grow them in an old wheel barrel and when they are ready just dump them out. We in Ohio have had enough of the rain as well. It’s a muddy mess out there.
Purple Vikings are very early. Anything more than 70 or 80 days and they can get huge. Great for mashing and very pretty dark purple/red skins and Snow White flesh. One of my favorite to grow.
Can you do a video on how to store them long term?
We store our potatoes meant for replanting next Spring only, individually
wrapped in paper and put into ventilated bags in a refrigerator at a
monitored temperature between 34-38 degrees. This will keep them
dormant longer. It also will render them inedible as 40 degrees and below
the starches start turning to sugars. Not very tasty. It however does not
affect the ability to viably plant them, they will produce potatoes.
Cool and absolute darkness is the key. NO light at all.
32 degrees and below, they turn to mush
33-40, safe zone
41-45, iffy
46 and up can be safely planted.
Our Sarpo's were stored this way. Put in storage mid September, and didn't start
chitting until March. As we are in Maine, still way to early with the ground
still frozen. We monitor temp with a wireless thermometer. Sensor in the fridge,
receiver on my end table. Works for us. Best of luck.
Ever try local honey? I use to get sinus infections and then I started on local honey years ago and the sinus infections became a distance memory. Don't skimp on the local honey either. Get the real good local honey, not the commercial local honey.
I use honey for the same purpose and it's local, actually just down the road from me.
@@marysurbanchickengarden It's the best!
I grew purple viking last year. They’re ok, biggest potatoes I’ve grown but didn’t store well zone 7. Reds always do well. My kennebec and yukons aren’t ready yet. First time growing them. Love your videos ❤
Nice Potatoes 🥔
Awsome potato harvest!
I use grass clippings to hill my potatoes. The grass clippings are plentiful and free.
Thanks for pointing out some seed potatoes don’t taste the same
I'm trying planting Lima beans with my potatoes this year. Not sure I timed it right. Potatoes went in April 1st and I'm about 60 days in and the Lima beans are only about 10" long with a dozen leaves. Time should tell!
This man knows has stuff. Just listen to what he say to do
I have to admit I cringe a bit at the price of Prairie View seed potatoes, especially after getting a pound or two of red potatoes at Rural King for 99 cents a pound. Like $120 this year. However, I finally ran out of potatoes from last year (Baltic Rose is my favorite!) late spring and bought some Russets from Walmart and I could not believe how crappy they tasted. All in raised beds: Baltic Rose, Prairie Blush, Rose Gold and Sarpo Mira this year, plus eight feet of 99 cent red potatoes.
Once you've had those Baltic Rose potatoes, all other taters seem a bit inferior. They'll spoil you. lol
Nice harvest Trav! I got a sweet corn question for you. I'm growing Solstice this year in a 10x15 foot plot. They're about 60 days old right now and started tassling, but in some areas the stalks only grew to about 3-4 feet tall while the rest are 6ft or higher. They all look about the same shade of emerald green and no disease or pest pressure yet. Any idea what might cause that?
shade maybe?
I usually see some of that on the end of the rows.
How many times can you plant potatoes in a year?
We can't plant a fall crop down here, but they usually don't do as well as the spring crop.
I’m in Central Florida 9b. Didn’t know potatoes don’t like temps in the 90’s. Mine look close to harvesting. 🙏🏽
Have you grown potatoes that are purple on the inside? If so, how did you cook them. Thanks
I have. You cook them just like you would any other potato.
❤❤❤🕊️
Will you try to get another crop of potatoes towards the fall? I was thinking of trying it with some left over seed potatoes I have from my spring planting here in 7a.
I've tried it with limited success. It's possible, but sometimes the seed potatoes just rot in the soil because of the heat and humidity in late summer.
@@LazyDogFarm Oh well. I guess I'll go ahead and make my seed potato list out for next year then. Wood Prairie here I come....lol
My taters are growing so fast that I had to hill them twice this week 😊
@lazydogfarm How far ahead of planting to you order your taters from Wood Prairie so that you have enough time to sprout them?
I order and get them shipped in early January so I have plenty of time.
My taters i planted in the ground did jack squat maybe they drown from the rain or maybe my soil is just plagued its all new to me here st this new house. Its pretty depressing. But i have a couple tubs that are doing well so maybe just water idk. Its just sad and a waste of time
Hi Travis, I this is not about potatoes but I have a squash question. I purchased some Golden Glory seeds from you and the plants seem to be doing well however the fruits are small and slow to grow. Do you have any recommendations? They are getting adequate water, I top dress with Black Cow and I fertilize with the 20-20-20 blue stuff that you don’t like.
Not sure what could be happening. Ours usually take about 3-4 days for the fruit to enlarge to the right size.
@@LazyDogFarm yep, wish I knew what is causing the slow growth🤔
Because you don't have a bama bucket is the reason why you don't have more taters 😁
They would be rotten when he dug em if he used a bama bucket 😂 go Gators
If he used a Bama bucket the potatoes would be too big for his little arms to lift.
😂
My ex would tell you I was very late maturing. Very late. Very, very late. 😊
Them some great lookin taters
