It's like all the rain that is needed on the western side of the rockies came to East Texas instead! God has a wicked sense of humour.
thank you for sharing your knowledge about homestead!
Don't give up! This rain will most likely not be a problem next year, this is a freak year!
Our last 2 summers here in Florida has been nothing but rain and BUGS. So I feel your pain. This year we are in a drought !! So you just never know. Seems like Greenhouses are becoming the best way to grow.
No need to apologize for taking a hiatus Pete, everyone needs a break and after all you are retired. I hear you on the rain, my goodness enough is enough we have had 10" in 7 days here in South Montgomery county. I harvested about 35 pounds of the red potatoes last weekend from one bed was very pleased, I did not know that you could consume the leaves as well will have to try that as they made it to the compost pile. Glad to see the chicks are coming along, all the best David.
Don't eat the leaves of the potatoes, only the leaves of the sweet potatoes.
Good job as always :) hope you got rested up!
Welcome back!
Everyone needs to take a break now and then, it’s a good way to recharge your batteries. Life’s a marathon not a sprint. God Bess!
Glad your back, and yes sir all need a break from time to time... whew did you get your new chick? Harvest looks great, and wow we are with you on the rain... we cannot keep up.
Blessings
We planted some seed potatoes and right after that received 6" of rain. My potatoes never even broke ground. My only guess is that it was too much water and they rotted in the ground. I'm hoping to have better luck next year. Your potatoes look awesome.
Thank you
you are getting popular, seven ads in one video which is great. I am happy that you are getting rewarded for sharing valuable knowledge with us. Good to have you back.
Yes it's been too much rain out here in East Texas. What a weird year with all the snow and way more rain out here than the last few years for sure.
Hey Pete I just came across your video. I love your chickens they’re so big! Your potato’s are gorgeous. If I wasn’t so far away I would offer to come help. You take as much time as you need. May I suggest u put out a video once every two weeks to take off some pressure? All the best karen
👍
Growers Solution is located in my home state, Tennessee. They seem to be awesome folks to do business with.
Yes they are a great business to work with.
Hello Pete. Chickens look great. Wow... great potato harvest. My daughter's chickens are doing well. I pass on any info from your channel to help her. I keep her hens supplied with Grub Terra. The chickens love it and it adds some good nutrients to their diet. Be well.
It is July19th and it is still raining here in Houston, so proud of my first time harvest of yukon gold, which was probably half a box you have there, but I did it!!!!! I got beautiful tomatoes until mid June, and the rain just ruined them all, squash bug, still mad at them!!! I am beginning to believe the green house is going to be the only way I will ever get tomatoes. Hard to garden in a swamp! Envy your potato harvest, that is gardener's gold right there!!! Blessings to you and your family!!!
I know what you mean Pete about the rain. Here in Fl it's been raining everyday the past 3-4 days and that's definitely not good on the peppers and tomatoes because I have them in big planters and they're drenched. So today I'm gonna have to cover everything because it's supposed to rain later this afternoon. That's the problem in Fl and trying to grow thing's. It can rain every afternoon in the summer. Your potatoes did great. You don't have to apologize for taking a break. Everyone goes on a vacation every so often.
Last year I grew Tomatoes under a White Shade Cloth. in June. When it got hot. They never wilted during the heat of the day. Where in years past. They would. Sprayed with Hydrogen peroxide, and Sulfur Fungicide to control diseases. It was the first year. We had tomatoes until the end of Sept.
what all of that tell us...? That they are intelligent animals...many are and to the surprise of many they show emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, joy, friendship and so on...i guess we can speak and walk in two legs but we are pretty ignorant and arrogant in regards to mother nature...
I really enjoyed this video! Great job!
Thank you so much!
We lost several fruit trees too. I had watched your video about not free ranging chickens and when I was leaving the cabin, saw a hawk.
well Sr. U are doing an amazing job teaching us and sharing knowledge so ur vacation was were deserved....
Just an idea, whe harvesting root crop like potatoes, we use a hand trammel so we don’t miss any, plus you can amend the soil as you put back in the bed.
Hey Pete, l didn't catch how many seed potatoes you used per bed. 12, 14 less or more.
Hi from Queensland Australia
Time for a second greenhouse 👍
Missed your videos. Glad you took time for yourself. Take care of you!
Thank you!
🍄Take your breaks 😊I love your channel 🍄
We are in Lufkin and its bad. Are garden is a swamp thank god for raised beds.
Yes those 3 are roosters, you can tell also by the 2 curved feather on their tails.
Great video enjoyed it thx for sharing I bet those taters are good Be safe God Bless
Weather manipulation messing up our weather. 🙄
OMG your back! Awesome 👍. Hope you feel rested and ready to get back out there.
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for your awesome videos Pete, we are super close to closing on our acreage in East Texas soon. Is there any way to direct message you? I would love to get some of your advice on picking the right property and what to expect when moving. We are moving from Suburbia and with pretty much zero homesteading experience. Your advice would be like solid gold for us getting started.
Thanks again for all your content !! You are an inspiration 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
You can find my email on my about page using a computer or laptop, for some reason using a tablet or cell phone it won't show up. ruclips.net/channel/UCyUG2htFsMtlhuvBHKYxPrQabout
Glad to see you back! Missed your videos!
Great video thank you. We are also in Texas and experiencing some of the weather issues.
I'm wondering with your greenhouse if you have any issues with the strong winds. I'm worried I will buy one and it will end up in the neighbors field! 😳😆
Awesome thanks, Believe it or not, the greenhouse held up to many wind storms. You run into those problems more with high tunnel greenhouses. Mines called a Quanset greenhouse and the wind travels over it better.
How are you going to store your potatoes? I grew potatoes for the 1st time this year in old water troughs and the outcome was wonderful. I will give this another try. Yes we East Texans have had more than our fair share of rain this spring and so many failed in ground gardens. Found your channel after after the 2nd unprecedented East Texas Snow event. Off now to watch your High Tunnel video. Thanks!
We will be freeze drying most of the potatoes into mash potatoes. thank you for watching.
Potatoes like water. Prevents scab.
Яагаад дан хар өнгөтэй тахиа байна? Сонгож тэжээж байгаа юм уу? Монголд тахиа тэжээж үржүүлдэг хүмүүст сонирхолтой юм.
Энэ үүлдрийн тахиа нь бусад үүлдрийн тахианаас илүү өндөглөдөг бөгөөд тэд зүгээр л хар өнгөтэй байдаг.
Rooster have longer legs to.
If you feel like you've got too many potatoes, you can always send some to us fans 😉😅 (kidding). Watching you harvest the red ones, my mouth started watering a bit. I love roasted red potatoes. Idk if yours are the same variety as the red potatoes in the store, but I'm guessing all red varieties similar? I could be wrong. Glad to see your chickens are happy (they are so funny) and your potato yield is abundant. Hopefully next growing season will be better for corn.
I wish I could send you some, We just had some with dinner and they were delicious and I'll have to find many potato recipes.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading Oh no, I was just joking with you. They just looked so nice and plump... nice hearty potatoes. And I do love me some potatoes.
Great harvest how many pounds did you plant.
I don't really remember, they were the leftovers from the potatoes I planted in the garden. But I guesstimate it was about 30lbs.
its good to see u 😊
So handsome
Lovely
very glad you back Pete. you may know of any trustee realtor in your neighborhood. appreciate a lot.
Thank you, if you're looking for country property, you better start now because prices are going up fast.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading country of course. I'm living in Cincinnati, OH right now, cant wait to move.
As you may know cold seasons are too long here in Oh and KY as well and I'm almost 62, not too young to manage the cold that much.
Great to see you back at it and good to see your harvest everyone needs a break so understandable will be waiting on what comes next
Thanks 👍
This update was really helpful to me. I just moved to East TX from a dry area and did not know what to expect. My sweet potato slips are barely hanging in there, but I did plant them in a raised bed. I planted regular potatoes in large pots and they are sitting on pallets, so they should be ok once the rain slows down. They are looking a bit yellow, but now I understand why.
I just got my chicken coop yesterday, and my chicks will arrive next week. I saw another old video of yours that explains why you do not free range your chickens, and I will take special care if I decide to create free-range spaces for them.
Sir one question for your ,what fertiliser is best For fruit set during blossom period?do rply
Nitrogen is what gets plants growing but to get fruit growing you need a fertilizer that has more phosphate and potassium then nitrogen. I use an organic fertilizer with an NPK of 3-5-5 is good.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading sir i have apple trees of different varities which bear almost 20 packs yeild every season ...so is this NPK best for these too...
Great video Pete, nice to see you back. I'm glad you took some well deserved time off. Potatoes look amazing, good to see the chicken update, and looks like you've been working out again. Thanks for always sharing your life, and awesome teachings. 🖒💛👍💚
Welcome back Pete! That's an awesome crop of potatoes you got there. I just got back from visiting family in the Austen area and it was raining the whole time so I guess your funky weather has not ended yet! Nice to see that the greenhouse has been good to you after all of that work you put into it.
Hi Pete, nice to see you back! I always said you have been doing an amazing job with all these years like shooting/editing/managing those lands, these all are insane to manage with limited manpower. I salute you and thank you again I have learned lots of homestead stuff thanks to you. And these potatoes are amazing, what a good feeling to have these after all this effort and work. Congrats
🙃You are a great person, inspiring, industrious and patient, broadcasting a spirit of optimism, tender and fun🌸❣
Thanks Pete ... Hope you enjoyed your time off ... Chickens look great ... That is quite a harvest of potatoes ... how do you store them so they don’t rot?
Yes, I'm also curious how to store potatoes and onions in the south and don't have a cellar
Danny from deep south says he uses bread racks.He puts card board on it and space the potatoes apart and don't wash the potatoes. If you see wet spot underneath a potatoe throw it away and let that spot dry before replacing another potatoe.
Thank you, Storing the potatoes is the hard part, should be kept in a cool dark room, preferably a cellar.
Pete, pay attention to the neck feathers. The roosters will be much longer.
