- Potatoes are super easy to grow in containers! We love this variety of potatoes because it makes great mashed potatoes, easier to peal, early maturing and is usually bigger than other red potatoes.

The amount of knowledge you give away to us is amazing. Y’all should be registered as national treasures. Much appreciation from Houston (Tomball), Texas.
I agree getting my potato starts planted tomorrow Somerville TX
Gonzales county Tx here 👋 this old woman is swamped with work but if I'm able am hopeful to be done planting my bucket taters & seeds started finally. Better late than never lol
Beaumont Texas here
manvel texas here!
Hey Hollis, thanks for your videos. I was at Lowe's the other day and remembered your videos, so I bought two bags of Black Cow soil to give it a try, I sifted the bags and compared the amount of wood chips to the competition, and Black Cow soil had less wood chips, so I was pleased with that, also it seemed darker and if I remembered correctly I liked the texture as well. Very seldom these advertising ads work with me, but the product spoke for itself, thanks Hollis, may the Lord Jesus continue blessing you!
👍
I got some too lol
Thumbs up
Yes, I bought mushroom compost for carrot because I thought less wood, but NO!
I followed your steps last season for the first time and got a nice success. I'm looking forward to this season and hopefully increase my production. Thanks👏👏👏🥔
Love patotos! If you plant a couple of five gallon buckets then plant two more in a month. Keep on doing two buckets every month you will have a harvest all year long. Plenty to eat use for seed and bless others. Just a thought from someone from patoto county in northern Maine. Unfortunately we can only get one harvest a year due to weather conditions. Nothing like taking patotos from the field wash (the skin comes from just from washing no effort involved) and cooking them immediately!
Delishesness!!!!!!!!
Love your homestead and I have to admit I am very jealous of your weather. So sick of cold and snow and it's only February three more months to go!!!!
😪😢😭
Seriously?? We love our taters!
Hearing all of the wild birds in the background sounded wonderful!!!
I love the birds in the background
Thank you so much. Was a joy to watch this and hear you both talk,
and your smiles . AND give the Lord Thanks. Amen ~ Thank your Lord. Amen
Handy dandy potatoe tower love that.
Thank you for sharing I am planting potatoes in my small garden now I know what to put in the mix how much to cover ..how much to water. And stage 5 stop watering and 100 days to harvest.
God bless I appreciate your great videos😀
My first successful gardening was your original tips on potatoes in 5 gallon buckets. I am so excited!!!
I love this and I love your Jack Russell Terrier. He's awesome! I knew he would eat a potato
LOL he loves potatoes, they make such great fur babies :-)
Totally enjoyed your video and knowledge about these potatoes. I love red potatoes. I’ll definitely try Thank you
Thanks Hollis, I just enjoy the sound of the birds on your place. Hi Nancy, Hugs.
It's another time to set a goal for the year, one need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success is not obtained overnight, you have to stop procrastinating and try what you have always wanted to improve in you're life and well being. Investment will take you closer to your dreams.
Despite all the economic crisis this is the right time to start up an investment
I heard that his strategies are really good
He has really made a good name for himself
Hi Nancy and Hollis,
My wife and I have watched your videos for many years and we have learned so much from you. It's such a true pleasure to see you both working together and the bond you have is clearly seen. We also love and respect how you both have cared for and included Nancy's mother!!! We actually live in Melrose Fl and it's just a rocks throw from you guys. I have two questions (actually lots😂); 1- Where did you purchase the 50lbs bags of seed potatoes? 2- Have you ever considered making copies of all of you note books pages with all of the technical plans for growing vegetables?
Thanks so much!!
Greg and Ela
I love your show could you do a harvest and cook
Am glad i found this channel can't get enough of your teaching... And the closing
We are trying this, this season. we have 7 five gallon buckets going. Love your passion for teaching! The only down side of the video is the music playing while you're speaking. I have a hard time hearing you. Less or quieter music?
Hi Miss Nancy, Hi Hollis, thank you for sharing your experience with us! Continue to be blessed!!
I just have to add that I just love you guys and your witness for God! Your ministry is BEAUTIFUL!! God Bless You Both! And Bing Bing too!! 😂😂
❤️
Ty Mr. Hollis, I love having fun with you and Ms. Nancy 😊💗 and Bing Bing 💗 oh yeah almost forgot love the T-shirt one of my favorite Bands💗 "All In All" 💗
Thank you for showing us the process from beginning to the end. So many CZcamsrs only show one part of the process.
You are very welcome. Yes ma’am. The progression videos take several months to build. Most CZcamsrs would rather record and release on the same day. We would rather invest in the progression video to better help the folks trying to learn
FABULOUS ❤ we LOVE you guys!!
I am knew to the channel glad I found it. God bless your family
Welcome to the family Don. Enjoy the videos and your garden this year ❤️❤️🐶
@@HollisNancysHomestead God bless both of you.
Always enjoy your videos, especially the tater reveals!
I grow all of my taters in the same 20 gallon containers, my wife and i are always full of anticipation when it's time to harvest them, it is always a great day when we finally see what we have been blessed with!
Thank you for all your videos and God Bless!
Greg we are the same way during the reveal. Down right giddy to see what we get in each bucket.
😃😃😃
I always enjoy the videos you & Nancy make y’all keep it simple easy to follow. I’m following your lead for all my gardening I love your beautiful gardens 🪴 & homestead 🏡
Hi y’all. Thank you both so much. Your videos s have transformed our family dynamic. We are well on our way to year-round food.
I really like, that you planned, grew and harvested all in one video
Thanks! I just got done watching some of your older potato videos. I have them sitting in jars and water, waiting to sprout.
Do we NOT put these potatoes in water to chit? Are the sweet potatoes the only ones you chit in a jar with water prior to planting?
That is just for sweet potatoes.
Thank you for what you and the wife do.
I really like how you do the extra work to keep your videos from start to finish, from soil prep, planting, midterms, and issues and then harvest
Glad you like them!
Love the scenes and photos you put in the videos between scene changes. Especially enjoy Bing Bing. As always, your videos are great and I really appreciate the instructions and being able to see the start to finish. Thank you.
Well done Hollis and Nancys. I learn a lot from you two. Pls keep it up and God Bless you two
So glad our video helped you. Peace to you on this day❤️

Great video! To God be all the glory 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Kisses to Bing Bing 😘😘😘
❤️🐶❤️
Y'all are great.. enjoy your videos, as always.
Hey guys. Yesterday I went to look at your old growing potatoes videos from the old house, again, since I saw them before you guys moved to this homestead. I was looking at what size bucket you planted in, and how you did it, just to refresh as I planned for this season. When I finished, I also checked out your sweet potato video also. Imagine my surprise today when your NEW videos showed up in my feed. I took a break from before Christmas to about a week ago, so I missed your new videos on the potatoes. So, now, I am watching the new ones too. Great information, so keep it up. You and Nancy, take care.
Most beautiful garden area I have ever seen, Thanks so much for sharing it with us! I'm going to try the container potatoes!
I love your methods of gardening. They are very clear and easy to follow
You guys are my biggest inspiration! Me and my family watch you and Nancy all the time. We are in an apartment now, and do what we can, but the second we’re in a house I can’t wait to have a little urban homestead of our own! ❤️🌿 Thank you for all your hard work. And Nancy! I love watching you cook, always looks so good.
Thank you for sharing!!! Blessings!!!
Question: In previous video for planting potatoes in 5 gallon buckets you used " cheap top soil." In this video and a few others for veggies,i.e. onions, you are using potting soil. Why the difference and which should be used in all when making your soil mix? TIA
Years ago I used the cheapest top soil I could find. It worked fine for a while but I noticed all the top soil kept getting worse and worse. The last few bags I opened were basically nothing but wood chips. At that point I switched over to potting mix. It was a lot better but it can be hit or miss as well. Sometimes the bags look very good and rich and other times they are mostly peat. Anyway, when I don’t like the way the potting mix looks, I add another bag of black Kow to get the texture I’m looking for
Another great video. Thanks guys!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Hollis and Nancy...The very gift of God that you actually have with you in the face of knowledge, and the actual manner in which you just keep sharing your knowledge with others is just amazing as well as so very commendable work you do. Thanksgiving for such wonderful work of yours. Be blessed always!
Very nice, thank you! Good thing Bing Bing was there to supervise and lend some potato assistance!
We get a lot of supervision 🐶
You two are such a blessing to watch.
Welcome back Jayne❤️
Thanks Bro
B from TX
Thank you,,love to watch.
At 9:21 there's an inspection from the Chief Security Officer. Brief but just enough to ensure quality.
Thank you for showing us how it is done. Love your videos.
Thanks you guys. I always enjoy these videos. Bless you guys.
Thank you Hollis and Nancy! From start to finish is what makes your videos so good to watch and helps in learning. Enjoyed watching Bing Bing try to eat a small potato too! He’s so cute! Please keep the videos coming and helping us in the gardening community. Also Love to watch and learn Nancy’s recipes from your bountiful harvest. You two are a special couple. We all love you! Bobble in South Carolina!!
Thank you so much!
I hope you can answer my question today. My chits have broken ground and may have gotten too high. How do I add the soil now, do I cover the plant completely with soil or just build up around it? I’m gonna try to add a picture. Thank you so much and God bless, you guys are awesome.
You always give us wonderful instructions and tips. We can feel the goodness of your hearts as you share and teach us. One question for really small size seed potatoes is a 2 1/2-3 gallon container large enough to grow potatoes in? They don’t weigh as much for this old lady, they don’t take up as much space and cost less than half the price of the 5 gallon size. If they are not deep enough, I’ll continue to use the 5 gallon containers.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. Keep them coming! 💚🥰💙🤗🤎😋❤️
Yes ma’am
Excellent video from start to finish! Thanks much!
Love the videos!
I absolutely love your videos! I enjoy that you show beginning to final product. I did just find you so I have to catch up on all the older videos but I’m enjoying them and thank you for being so informative.
Bing bing has such a sweet face🥰🥰🥰🥰😊he is smiling
I really enjoy watching you and Nancy Iam a first timer and I love to eat what I grow started about 6 months ago so you know Iam new I am learning so much from you so thanks for sharing
Congratulations on becoming more self sufficient!!! The world needs more folks like you❤️. Enjoy your garden this spring. Plant a little extra to help others😇
God bless you both, and all your family. Thanks for the vids.
Love seeing your vids
Amen. This year I start my garden. Better late than never. God Bless the three of you. Been following you since VA.
Thank you guys both for the wonderful content. I grew norland reds last year (thanks to your channel) i grew 8 buckets 🪣 10 gallons each. Only 3 or 4 showed flowers but all 8 had some decent results.
Thanks for a nice presentation..God bless
Great video thank you.
❤️
Black Kow should give you sponsorship $$$ because I've bought bags of that stuff because of you. We have over 50 acres.
They do
Love your videos. I really like that you take us thru each step.God bless.
I always learn so much from your videos. Thanks so much for always doing such a great job. Blessings. :)
First time watching and I will be following your lead growing potatoes this spring.Thanks for sharing your video stay blessed.
Nice!
Good morning, pls tell me throughout the growing season, how many times do you water the potatoes. Thank you, beginner here.
About every 7-10 days. Stop watering completely during stage 5
Surprised me to see you just dump the buckets on the ground. Last year we
earnestly developed container grown potatoes. 3-gal pots, earlies, planted
over the course of a month starting late April. Yup, 20 buckets, half were Red
Norland. Starting in July, if potatoes were on the menu, dump a bucket, wash'em
off, and in the pot. Boiled fork tender, oh, little taste of heaven! NOTHING better.
Each bucket usually yielded 1.5-2.5 pounds. Ate fresh potatoes all summer into
early fall. Left the lates in the ground until we needed to pull/dig them.
TYFS, Mark and Rosa
The taste is definitely delicious. Good job on your taters 👍👍👍
I love this new video on growing potatoes. I liked how you share your concerns along the way because it's similar to what's going thru my mind during my gardening experiences. There's no better tasting potato than one you've grown yourself. A lot of people seem to wonder why we grow what are dirt cheap at the store. Well, nothing's dirt cheap during this run away inflation and I don't know what's in food I get from the store vs. what I grow myself. Thanks again, Hollis and Nancy! Please give Bing Bing a little hug from me!
You are so right❤️
I love your video format, and seeing you work together as a team! Oh, and I love that you close your videos with a prayer- God Bless you both!
Amen! Everything we do on our homestead is a team effort. 👍❤️
Grocery stores charge a lot for those LITTLE potatoes! I know it's a 'guy thing'... Bigger is Better! But those 'thin skinned' small & 'Little Bitty' potatoes can be dropped into a 'casserole' or a STEW, just the way they are and if they are ever ALL you can grow, a plate with several 'little bitty' potatoes will satisfy HUNGER the same way a couple of LARGER Red Potatoes or a real big 'Russet' baked potato will. Thank you for taking us from beginning to end!
Once you harvest them how do you store them. I am new to all this I am looking for help. When do you pla t what fertilizer a d added vitamins or what ever to help
I love your videos
You’ve taken my from a brown thumbed plant killer to a harvester of potatoes
Thank you for breaking it down with stages and dates
Would love to know approximately how much to water and when
As I tend to over water
i would love to see a full garden tour with the chickens included--say spring -summer and fall!!! love you all!! always click on you all as soon as i see --i am going to try my hand at growing taters this year!! peace be with you both and don't forget bing-bing! :)
We will be doing a new full tour this spring.
@@HollisNancysHomestead do you have a link to some of the pratical tools you use: ie: potatoe tower, long term storage area, how to store winter squash, rinsing table, curing area .... etc .... the "mechanics" of it all.
czcams.com/play/PLjAejPnq636bPY1sGofAbByjY77WFj7e8.html
I'm new to watching your videos. Love your simple down home style. Easy to understand and follow. May God keep up blessed.
Thanks for watching Donna. Enjoy your garden this spring ❤️❤️🐶
This year I'm going to grow my potatoes and containers 20 lb bags. I love black cow and jungle growth. I always had a wonderful Harvest of everything that I injured myself in 2009 and I wasn't able to get to the ground to take care of my vegetables seven. So I'm going to try those 20 lb bags I'm going to get about maybe 10:15 of them and get myself growing again. I love your videos they help me out a lot. Have a blessed day God bless everyone
Container gardening is much easier on your back. Prayers going up for your pain🙏
The potatoes we grow by far have the most notable difference in taste from store bought
Hollis, take an empty 5 gallon container and upend it to save your back. My back bothers me sometimes, too, and it helps take the strain off.
Thank you dearly for sharing your blessed crop#
Is there a reason you don't reuse the good soil mixtures for other crops after you harvest the potatoes? Love your videos.
If I remember right, he re-uses all his soil, I think he said he added the spent soil to the tops of the plants to bring the soil level to the top of the bucket. He has a video on how to build a soil box, I think it's called a Reclaim Soil Container. I have been using mine for about 3 years now. After the growing season, I dump my "spent" soil in my box and reuse use it next season for top-offs. You still need to amend it with all the "goodies".

Just found your channel and love you guys! Thanks so much for the wonderful step by step process for growing these beautiful Norland Reds. God Bless
We have a new video scheduled for release on February 2nd 2023. It is on growing them in a raised bed. Hope you can get a chance to watch it❤️🥔
When you grow it yourself you know what went into it and it is 100 percent yours no tax. It isn't for free but it is all worth it.
Hi we love your videos- we don’t really like music - it isn’t needed you guys are amazing.
Can't wait for Nancy's video of her cooking. Her dishes look so delicious.
She has a bunch of new ones coming out this year👍
Love love love all your vidoes...They are so informative...im starting my potatoes today!!! Thank you so much for all the information.
Lol! Bing Bing and his tiny tater! We love your vids! I've learned much over the years, watching you two (three) intrepid gardeners. The thing I admire the best is how easy the process is when you have your work stations set up efficiently. Thank you! Blessings, health, prosperity and peace to you and yours and to all who read this!
👍😘😇💖
Thank you for watching Jane. Yes ma’am, we tried to set up the new homestead so every aspect of gardening has a work station to accommodate whatever we are doing. Planting, seed starting, drying and curing, cleaning the harvest, processing the harvest, storing the harvest. Everything works together to make it smooth and easy to do👍
Fantastic you guys always bring such joy to my day and the knowledge I have picked up is by priceless, thank you for all you do
❤️❤️❤️
Attempting to try to grow sweet potatoes, all because of watching your great video's! Bless both of you.🌺🙏🤙
Best of luck to you with your sweet potaters. ❤️❤️❤️
