Nice looking eggs!
@@leekent3325 thank you 😊
Yum. Have great week. Safe safe from the hurricane. 👍🏻
Sure will! Probably more homestead cleanup work ahead 😂
I do that with some of my peppers. I leave a few leaves on them though. Not sure which part of Louisiana you are in. But if you are in the path of this storm coming, stay safe.
@@cguidry1481 nice! And yea looks like a direct hit for me I’m in upper Saint Martin parish closer to new Iberia and Lafayette 🥺 I will be updating soon before the storm.
@@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 Well hell neighbor, I'm in Breaux Bridge. Stay Safe.
@@cguidry1481 you too!
Great video! Garden looks good!
@@leekent3325 thank you! It’s going to be filled up eventually! Needs to cool off just slightly more!
Have a good week
Delicious!!
Great garden tour man. Love the rooster in the background, I think he was trying to tell you he wanted take over hosting this video. lol.
Sure sounded like he did lol! Thanks!
My kind of eatin' ~ looks delicious!!😋 👍
@@dvorahbatzion6794 yes indeed! Thanks ☺️
Don't throw away those "little bitty ones". They won't keep, but make a delicious side dish cooked in beef gravy or used whole in stews or soups. This being just May, for you, I'd replant potatoes.
@@gregzeigler3850 right on!! Thanks for the comment and yes plan on using for replanting!
Where was my invite? Just say potatoes and I’ll be there. lol
@@OSKG2023 😞 sorry! It was gooooood tooo!
Another get video buddy. We tried canning sweet potatoes once, we had such bad siphoning, but we may try it again this fall.
Thanks man! Yea it happens sometimes! Best way to avoid it is to let the canner cool completely down which can take 4-5 hours
@@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 I will have to try that next time. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏻
Your welcome!
My little ones weren't worth all that. But you did a good job.
Thank you!
Waving from New Orleans 👋🏼👋🏼 thank you for starting this channel!!! Im about to start my garden definitely looking forward to your tips & tricks!!!!
@@ShineYourLight83 that’s awsome!!! Your welcome! any questions just ask! Godbless
Thanks for the video, I will be doing my sweet potatoes in about a month. The first year of growing them hopefully II can get some!
@@leekent3325 your very welcome! You’ll make some I’m sure of that!
Nice garden, great job on the planting 🌱
@@leekent3325 thanks!
They look great way better than mine! This is my first year growing them so I’ll see what happens. 🤞
@@leekent3325 thanks! Keep on growing!
Hi there, great harvest! I just harvested mine and canned 31 quarts. Just subscribed to your channel. Have a great day 😊
@@leekent3325 thanks sooo much!
My son in law is from Thibodaux/ Chackbay Bay area. Love y’all’s southern Louisiana culture and food.
@@newdayfarm9463 nice! Thanks!
I got a couple nice ones this year. Mostly small ones though.
@@cguidry1481 awsome!
@@cguidry1481 last year I had mostly small ones also
where did you get the pellet carrot seeds?

@@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 thank you. I’m really enjoying watching your channel. Being a new gardener living in Lafayette, it’s nice to someone local.
@@impatientcajun well I’m so glad you are here! Trying to build this channel and community isn’t an easy task but I’m up for the challenge!
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Very nice potato harvest.Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.

Got that Jamie Raskin look going on today I see…😁
@@benjieterrebonne158 lol thanks!
I bet that is good, I’d put some of that over a bowl of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream and have myself a treat. 👍🏻
@@OSKG2023 ohhh yea I didn’t think about that! Puhh yea it would be good!
Still haven't picked my pears yet coming soon though.
@@cguidry1481 nice let me know how it goes!
I love pepper vinegar on beans, rice & gravy, pizza, basically anything. lol
Ohhh yea that’s for sure lol!

What's the best way to store potatoes?
@@brianwebb7109 the best way is obviously a root cellar, but we don’t have those here so the best way I find for myself is a spare closet in a spare room that I have it works for me or you can, can them up and put in your pantry! Plus if I have any left I let them green sprout and by that time it’s near February so I replant those!
Just found you. I am in Lafayette. About to start a raised bed garden for the first time. Eager to see what tips I can get from your experience with gardening in our growing zone.
@@impatientcajun nice! Thanks for joining me!
I hope to get Chickens in the spring.
Nice!
What a beautiful accent 😍
@@user-nc2wp8nr2r thank you! ☺️
I’ve never done mine that way. We do it very similar, but we add a small amount of chicken broth to make it cook quicker. And I guess that’s why I refer to ours as smothered potatoes and you call your potato hash. Yours is probably a lil more crispy, whereas mine would be more not crispy. lol
Yes I make smothered potatoes or potato gravy also usually with a smoked sausage in it and serve over white rice, the potato hash is really good with a fried egg over it and yolk runny! ☺️
@@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 I bet those potatoes are awesome with fried eggs. Now, the smothered potatoes with sausage, I have a video on that, we call it Poor Man’s Hash. A pot of that and some crusty french bread is one of my favorite meals. Great video. 👍🏻
Looks dang good to me.
@@cguidry1481 thank you! :)
Oh man…I’m from Louisiana (Lafayette) too (not a stalker…I can hear it in ya bah) but live in San /Diego currently. Was craving some fried okra yesterday, but this hits the spot in my mind. I can smell it and taste it through the screen. Reminds me of home….😥👍🏼
Nice looking pears. 👍🏻
@@OSKG2023 thank you!
I think Benji should be out there to catch them
@@carlpontiff7752 that would of been great!! lol

Has your tumeric ever bloom? Mines grow huge but never blooms
@@sangueguerriero9538 not yet they’ve only just started about 2 months ago I planted about 3 months ago
@@sangueguerriero9538 it’s said to bloom in the fall temps around 60-75 degrees or during spring into the summer same temperatures
@@sangueguerriero9538 also do not let them stay too dry they can go dormant at anytime because of dry soil!
I've had mines for a couple of years. They were sent as a gift for buying these plants online. They produce a lot, and grow very tall, but they've never bloom. I've tried everything to encourage a bloom, but nothing. Not 1 flower ever 😒
@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 thank you for replying 🙏
Thats funny,,, I'll be doing the same thing this weekend. Oh my wow, I use a pole saw to reach the tops also. Except mine is an orange-colored saw. Nice looking pears.
@@cguidry1481 thanks!!
@@cguidry1481 yep it’s close enough for me lol, don’t wait too long!
How many did you put per bag and how long did it take planting to harvest?
@@tazplex2005 there were 3-4 per bag and about 90 days roughly 3 months to harvest mabe alittle less
Those are gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
@@KJT-gulflinecoastal they were!
Yeah this rain is horrible. Mosquitos are also really bad. My figs also are going to have a really weird late season crop. Nice coop. You got a nice place over there. Look at ole I10 in the background.
@@cguidry1481 thanks! Yea mosquitoes were bad this morning going out, small ones new birth cause all this rain! Figs have first crop decent if you saw my fig preserves video? Waiting on the next crop! Thanks for the comment! :)
I’m starting my seeds for both of those tomorrow. 👍🏻
@@OSKG2023 awsome!
From Breaux Bridge to you, Hello neighbor. The rain, been everyday, thankfully no flooding,,,, yet. I can't grow bells for nothing. My okra doing the same. Grow big and spineless okra. Picking alot, but nothing like last year.
@@cguidry1481 hey! Yea better than no rain, and I grow bells every year, bout to shut them down though, yea I’m trying these Star of David out but I may go back to a more productive variety not sure yet we will see for next year! Thanks for your comment and for subscribing neighbor!
You are planting 2 bean seeds in a hole If both of your beans germinate in the same spot do you clip one or let them both grow out?
@@GettingBentWithBo absolutely! Thanks for the comment!
@@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 Didn't really get a clear answer. Did you snip one or let them both grow?
@@GettingBentWithBo just planted them a day ago didn’t come up yet
@@Smalllouisianahomestead1979 I get that sir I’m just asking for me because mine are coming up and they both sprouted and I am a complete novice so I don’t know if I should snip one or let them both grow? Your thoughts?
@@GettingBentWithBo oh ok yea me personally I would let them grow
Nothing like a fresh yard egg. One of my chickens just started laying. Any day now the rest should start. Thank you for sharing your planting techniques and schedule. Hopefully we both have a successful season. The heat has definitely reduced my harvest. Do you compost? What method?
@@shirleyburns2623 absolutely and thanks for the comment, yes I do compost, I have 2 store bought ones and a home made one.
@@shirleyburns2623 I’m also using the chicken run as a composter and the inside litter box and shaving on the coop floor as a composter also
The small potatoes are great with green beans and in stews. I save them all.
@@murlthomas2243 yes they are!!
i subbed!! stop by and see Mich
@@kskorner74 thanks!
Love the shade cloth. I definitely need to build a structure to hold it. Love your set up, garden and videos
@@shirleyburns2623 thank you so much!
And yes the shade cloth first year I’ve used it and it has saved my plants I’ll never go back to not having it on for summer but as the fall comes I take it off the sun isn’t as intense during those later months! Keep me updated if you get one!
Where in Louisiana? In in Swla near Lake Charles. Always trying to learn from those with our hot humid weather. I love watching potato harvest. Any success is amazing
