Video

Awesome video! Great info!

I love this video. It is easy to understand and follow for a newbie. I just bought 2 fig trees for the first time two weeks ago in 5 gallon buckets (Ronde de Boudreaux and Smith). I am totally new and trying to learn as much as I can. Is there a best time to air layer (zone 6b Harrisburg, PA) or can it be done anytime? Also, can you make a video on how to prune for the winter?

I did this to elderberry branch a couple of months ago… Unfortunately, the branch just proceeded to die off . I’m not sure what I did wrong…

Thanks for sharing and good hobby.

❤❤❤ Can’t wait until my first tator harvest ☺️ so excited ❤

Beautiful cutting there Scott, well done. I'm putting out my 2 Avocado trees that I grew from seed 2 years ago, one is about 5ft tall the other is about 3ft tall. I also have first blossom on my fruit trees this year, also grown from seed 3 years ago. I've got some young Grape vines that I will take cuttings from next year and have sown some Wisteria this year that have germinated so it's all looking good 😁🌱☀️

How many did you plant to yield that amount?

It looks great . But I’ve seen people Poke holes in their containers they say it gives it air and it helps them grow better and bigger and I’ve seen it they were really big potatoes too

My phone heard me asking someone if they thought my son in laws fig tree had survived our winter in NC. And here is your video with great info. Thanks

Great to see your Avocado trees doing well Scott 😁🌱☀️

I just found your channel, and enjoyed watching you gather your harvest. What I could see of your garden, is absolutely, beautiful. Unfortunately, I have to watch on an old tablet, and the sound is too low, and the music, although is nice, Makes it harder, to hear you speak. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it enough to subscribe. Thank You, for sharing.

Potato plants have the ability to grow roots anywhere soil touches the stems. Stems will grow more potatoes every where stems grow more roots. Stems will grow new potatoes at 2 or 3 or 4 different levels it depends on how high up you hill the plants. I usually get 1 lb of new potatoes from each level. If I don't hill potatoes I only get 1 lb of new potatoes from 1 plant. If I hill soil up high enough to have 4 levels I get 4 lbs of new potatoes from each plant. If a seed potato has 4 eyes and grows 4 plants with 4 levels it will grow 4x4=16 lbs of new potatoes. Tall 12" hills are a space saver more new potatoes per square foot of garden space. I sometimes plant like you do 100 plants produce 100 lbs of new potatoes, easy to plant, easy to harvest. 25 hilled plants produce 100 lbs of new potatoes.

I can only give you one tip from experience... WATER WATER WATER... especially the ones in grow bags.. when potatoes reach the stage where the tubers are forming, they need tons of water... but they also need a well draining medium.. If you give plenty of water, they will make much larger tubers.

OMG I love jackfruits ❤❤❤❤ Ahao was so proud sharing his sister’s food to his friends 😂😂

seeing you be upset about the noodles but then immediately going to improve them is amazing and inspiring to me! i would've given up but you didn't and i really respect that! I love your videos. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

Good video footage but couldn't hear your commentary over the music 😢

Welcome Back Scott. Thank for the tips.

Dfw area herei have tomatoes growing in my garden now cherry and romas

Great harvest🥔

What a nice pool you have!!!

Love the video and the handsome Wei. Our Wei girl protects me from little lizards and possible frog attacks in the vege garden. She does occaisionally disappear with self serve harvested sweet potatoes, snow peas and any cherry tomatoes in reach. Its late Spring down under and our Grey Ghost has discovered the pole beans. We dont mind, we just plant an extra couple for her to snack on. Funny, the first time she tried a cucumber, spat it out, not to her liking at all, so we plant them in easy to get at spots and tuck things we want safe behind them. Best dogs ever.

I liked that you introduced your dog. I'd say you have a pile of potatoes!

OMGOSH, you had an AMAZING haul! 😍🌱🥰 You just reminded me I got four containers I still need to harvest. 😂 We just had our first frost today.

Scott, I hope you doing well am wondering if you have any video coming any time soon.

Here in north africa we only have hybrid seeds we dont have this kind of potatoes who can send me some seeds i'd love to grow this variety

Γειά σας! Η εμπειρία μου λέει ότι τα καλάθια χωρίς πάτο παράγουν καλύτερα ! Αν θέλετε δοκιμάστε!

That a good harvest. I would love to get such a harvest

Good harvest 🥔

In the last frame you look like Bert in Big Bang Theory! Would be nice to know your USDA grow zone and latitude. Too hot to grow a second crop?

Hi from Houston! Your soil looks EXCELLENT! However, I have seen others use those containers and get much more yield. Do you think it's our CLIMATE that blocked your production on some of your containers or do you have something to teach us about 'Mistakes' you may have made? Fertilizer, watering, variety, timing, placement, etc... I am always interested in Homesteaders/Gardeners in my own State no matter where because we face many of the same CLIMATE issues. Be blessed.

May also be certain times of the year when 'grocery brought' potatoes DON'T sprout for you so you have to know your grocery cycles and about SEASONAL growing and HOW FAR your store is shipping IN it's produce. But for those who CAN'T buy 'Seed Potatoes', many Gardeners/Homesteaders, both here in the US and abroad have proven *_you can_* grow potatoes from Store brought stock. But for all the reasons he mentioned and most of those guys would testify, if you can get a good ORGANIC supplier, that's best.

Houston hails ya! You spent money for that SOIL (I bet it was amended and Compost & other things added in) so get yourself some of those CHEAP blue tarps to dump your containers onto so you don't lose your money. Right now, as a 'dude', your thinking 'Well I can afford... *_i, i, i!...'_** NO!* _Hard times come to everyone_ don't throw away your money. You can 'sterilize, amend and reuse that soil.' I see a GOOD HARVEST, congrats!

Mmmmm...that looks so delicious, I'm going to make that as soon as our blackberries are ripe, we have another 4weeks to wait 😱🤣🌱☀️

Might want to try a tarp next time

Canning potatoes are great

😂🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️😂Im ready

The reason the potatoes are so small are likely due to being over watered and/or just too wet to often. Potatoes should only be watered in a container like that a few times a week once the foliage is up. Also you can boost your harvest by adding agricultural lime to the soil when you plant. Good luck on your next batch!

New subscriber here. Loved the video content! I dump my potatoes out onto tarps when i grow them in containers. What soil do you use? Thank you for sharing your wonderful gardening journey. 🥬🍃🌾🌿🥗

Thank you, first timer on growing potatoes. I am in Florida, 9b, will start in October.

Did you allow the plants to die completely back ? Those last 2-3 week are important for the growth of the taters. It’s best to allow them to die completely for optimal growth.

You got a good harvest,enjoyed the video. Just Subbed.

too many seeds planted for area,you worried too much about spuds getting wet as long as its not weeks it wont hurt,we harvest when its wet they just need to dry before storing

still very poor compared to mine i grow in ridges, i leave maincrop from april to end of september by that time tops have well died off and skins hardened

thats disappointing a poor harvest potato wise how long were they growing ,aslong as tops are alive potatoes should grow if enough nutrients and water

Not too bad. I had good results when I sprinkled a tablespoon of sulphur and the same amount of chicken manure over the seed potatoes in the container before covering them with soil. Love watching you playing in the ground! Mavis Re

really enjoy your videos! New subscriber :)

G'day from Australia your carola (sp?) spuds are heavy feeders ( they need a lot of food , more than the average ) and wont grow unless you have a LOT of nutrients , cow manure works good horse or sheep works well if you add some ashes and super phosphate 15% moo poo added to soils that are nutrient rich works well , we grow exclusively in 10 gallon buckets here as we are in the little desert region of Australia and these are a lovely spud if you keep the food up to them , feed through the season as well to get the best yield, best of luck next season ! cheers from the outback

Nice haul! Here in the U.K. my potatoes won't be ready for a good while yet. I also grow in containers with varying results depending on the seed potato variety. One thing that I have learnt over the years is using a pelleted organic chicken fertiliser works really well as far as feeding the growing tubers, I've had some surprisingly good results with it. Nice video, happy gardening.

If you want bigger taters in the South, Purple Viking seed potatoes and Russet and red grocery store potatoes yielded big and more inplastic pots and grow bags for me. I’m in Memphis. My inground Purple Viking not ready yet. Used 10-15 gallon containers alot of compost and leaf mulch, fertilizers and ALOT of water! Got 7-10 per potato seed.
