Great Potato harvest and food security

[@rizesgardening]

226 potatoes 😂 That's a great potato harvest mate!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

That's 226lbs or 102.5 Kg

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Great harvest Pete. I think I'll try growing some of those.👍👍💚

[@barbaravickroy7563]

Good crop....l think l'd want to put about 2 feet of soil out of the planter...then would be easy to pull the rest of the soil into that space by hand...no need for the fork.

[@GregLopez75]

Really cool harvest ese. We just yielded 65 pounds here in Dallas. God bless you and yours vato.

[@JustinArrington]

Add-ear-on-dak Keep it up Pete. Love your stuff

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Yep for some reason, I get tripped up on that name.

[@writethisthat3613]

fantastic Pete!

[@deltorres2100]

I picked my Pontiac Reds ..I will plant more..it’s been weeks and they cook so well ..think today I’m gonna make some mashed potatoes 🥔
Looking good

[@wickerbillhomestead]

Ok I’m sold, definitely going to grow some potatoes!

[@wearne6]

In Maine on the thousand-acre farms when the tops die off it is time to cut the tops off and then wait 2 weeks before harvesting. Of course, these are professional farmers that make their living this way, but what do they know.

[@sabbyjones2308]

Since you like purple potatoes. You should try the magic molly. Ut is the darkest purple and delicious. When I suggested it to other you tubers they are hooked🤗

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Okay I'll check them out thanks 👍

[@deltorres2100]

Kool I just picked my today ..I used 3 containers and they did pretty good
Mine -Red ones 🌱

[@robertmccarthy1256]

Here in southern Oklahoma my potatoes made a bumper crop

[@wdwtx2.0]

Bring on the butter.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

That's for sure 👍

MAKING ME HUNGRY!!

[@davidward1259]

Nice harvest Pete! We grew ours in fabric grow bags this year. Easy to harvest as I just cut the plants at ground level and remove the leaves, then turn the bag contents out into a plastic concrete mixing tub and pick out the potatoes. No stabbing and no small ones left behind. When done, just put the soil back in the bags and use them for fall harvest crop by planting in a few weeks (using the smalls as seed potatoes of course). Oh, and Pete, it's pronounced "a·dr·aan·dak" like the chair and the mountain range in upstate NY.

[@lolitabonita08]

i planted red ones and harvest some time to time..however i found that the red ones were black in the inside, the outside looked really good.

[@WeepingWillow422]

I thought you said, "Eddie Rednecks". I got a good laugh out of that. Your videos always cheer me up when I'm having a rough day. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

🤣

[@deloresochoa6235]

OUTSTANDING harvest!!! Yeah!

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Great harvest Pete! We had a small harvest this year in our 30 gal containers. We are very thankful. We are going to grow the purple variety this fall and give it a try. God bless.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Potatoes can be freeze dried. Blanched first but they do work. I did a bunch sliced and use them as fried potatoes or scalloped potatoes. I haven't tried the mashed.

[@neuroradguy]

Impressive haul Pete

[@OSKG2023]

Great inspiration. I just posted my video on how to start potatoes from slips from to planting. Hopefully my harvest will produce at least a tiny bit of what yours did. 👍🏻

[@davidjustice4029]

Pete, Its Tators, not potatoes.Just thought I would run that by you.

[@pearlellis5472]

Please do a video on freeze drying potatoes

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Will do 👍

[@TinyHoovesRanch]

Wow that a great harvest what will you do with all them ??

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks, we'll be freeze drying most of them making instant mashed potatoes.

[@mattpeacock5208]

I pulled some Yukon Golds after about 100 days this past Memorial day and some of them were sprouting too. What causes that?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Not really sure what causes them to sprout early but maybe the heat might have something to do with it.

[@deltorres2100]

Is there a Link of potatoes company you bought??

[@countrysister700]

Why did you plant in your greenhouse?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

I can control watering and pests better.
