  • In this video we harvested our eggplant and some Red Lasoda potatoes for the first time this year. We also harvested our Betterboy tomatoes, climbing Rattlesnake green beans, cucumbers, swiss chard, and some Mammoth jalapeno peppers!

    Nice harvests! How great to eat almost entirely from your own garden! There is something exciting about digging up new potatoes, like searching for buried treasure!

      Thank you!! That's exactly how it felt, lol!! A little treasure hunt in the garden! It's been a couple of years since we have grown potatoes. I'd forgotten how much fun it is and how delicious the new fresh potatoes are!! Thanks!! -Lea

    Nice garden harvest. We don't mind little imperfections either. We just cut it off and give to our chickens too,

    Lovely harvesting! We have the same type of eggplants and they’re producing a lot too. Happy 4th to y’all!

    I'm just a little north of y'all here in Tupelo. This was my first year to grow anything myself. I wished I had as much luck with my potatoes as you did, but then again your soil looked a lot better than mine. Cucumbers and beans are doing fairly well. Didn't try eggplant, chard, peppers, or tomatoes. Love your videos.

      Thank you!! Great to hear from a fellow Mississippian!! Good luck with your garden!! We have had years when our potatoes didn't do very well at all. We haven't grown them for several years ourselves because of how much space they take up and how little we sometimes get. This year is a pleasant surprise!! Glad to hear your cucumbers and beans are doing well! I could almost live off green beans, lol!! I love the peppers and tomatoes too. I love to freeze enough peppers to have them to use throughout the winter!! Thanks again!! -Lea

    I pulled a potato plant from a bed I didn’t want it in... it had so many little baby potatoes on it I replanted it. I like to experiment too. Well it’s blooming so I’ll find out soon.

    • @backyardhomestead2230
      @backyardhomestead2230  Před 2 lety

      Very cool! Hopefully it will work for both of us!! Let me know how your experiment works out for you, please!! Thanks!! -Lea

    I love the Chinese variety eggplant better because I always get more fruit. Your chard looks beautiful. Do you prune your cucumbers? My garden is not as far along as yours but I was going to try pruning this year to see if I get more cucs.

    • @backyardhomestead2230
      @backyardhomestead2230  Před 2 lety

      This Chinese variety does seem more prolific than the Black Beauties we usually grow. We're enjoying them!! We have never tried pruning our cucumber plants. We only have six on the fence where they are growing now. We planted them a little farther apart than usual. I'd be interested to hear how your pruning experiment goes this year!! Thanks!! -Lea
