Here’s the potato harvest! czcams.com/video/UKmsNBoEofE/video.html
Garden Answer read my mind 😉
Nathaniel Arch 3 months I believe.
Thank yooou i got bored and wanted to plant a potato (its growing!!)
2 times a week? Im in az if i dont water my plants at least every 2 days they gunna get baked
Amazingg
I seriously appreciate you getting straight to the point and not giving a ton of information that we didn’t come here for!!! Thank you!!!
YESSSSSS
Completely agree 👍
Yes I hate that
I've been planting potatoes for years. For those who are here because of Corona, planting potatoes are super easy and super rewarding.
Hi J&A, does one seed potatoe produce one potatoe or how many are possible? I appreciate your info and knowledge
@@timothylansdkroener8850 it depends in the size of the seed potato. If it's a big one, you cut the potato into pieces just a little smaller than an egg. Make sure the pieces have an eye, you roots can come out of it.
@@timothylansdkroener8850 follow this CZcams link, this CZcams channel has really great gardening info. czcams.com/video/UoamY_PRZcA/video.html
@@timothylansdkroener8850 i may have misunderstood, are you asking how many plants one seed will give, or if you plant one seed potato will you harvest just one potato?
@@jar7840 yes that helps, one piece of potato with a eye will yield one potato or multiple potatoes. I will check the link out. I really appreciate you taking the time for me ... Thank you very much
I just have to say thank you to this young lady for not making a 12-20 minute video and just bring back simple knowledge that I had forgotten in my past thank you
I concur
I hate to watch a 20 minute video with 5 minutes of information
That’s why I’m here. It isn’t too long.
I can’t be the only person that is thinking kitty is thinking “I am so going to fertilize the garden.” 😂😂😂😂
Kitty poo, as all predator poo, is not a good fertilizer. Matter of fact it is BAD because a gut microbe can get into your food chain and harm young, old, weak folks. Probably healthy ones too. If it has two eyes facing forward, it's a predator! Eyes on the side on the head, that fertilizer is great, depending how "hot" it is.
@@lencarl6701 yeah, don't think the cat cares mate. Hahaha. Disgusting buggers, any loose soil is fair game.
That's why I have a few green garden stakes with chicken wire. The fur bby's can't get in lol
Do you think they’re going to bury him, and he’ll add nutrients as he decomposes?
Them cats will destroy the potatoes
I once tossed a rotten potato out my back door into the garden. Totally forgot about it until the next spring when I started digging up potatoes in my flower garden. 😁
Marna Lister pleasant surprise 🙂
Marna Lister lol that's a good sign for me given my gardening experience.
Marna Lister okk then watch another episode on agritechguru channel
I did much the same. I didn't realize how many potatoes I had. It was a gift :-)
@@skj1629 czcams.com/video/0eyH4pz2PKs/video.html
I watched my grandfather plant potatoes many,many years ago. He had a bag of old potatoes he called seed potatoes. He would quarter the bigger ones and keep the small ones whole, as you have. After plowing the soil he would use a string for a straight line then go along with his bag, use the heel of his boot to dig a hole drop a tater in there cover it up and tamp down gently with the sole of his boot and move on. I'm sure he learned that from his dad and so on. We always had potatoes, bigguns too!
I love how fast this video was! Not 15 to 20+ minutes.
Greatness!
Agreed!!!
Thank you for not making this 45 minutes long, your a queen 👑 ❤️
Eat 3 potatoes a day you'll be full for the whole day
Potatoes,Nuts and Corn can last in ur stomach for 5-9 hours they are really efficient and healthy
I don't know exactly how accurate that is, but having a nice hash for breakfast with some cheese and bacon definitely keeps me full and sated for a long time
Depends on size of potato’s lol. They are fantastic but don’t give you all your nutrients
I noticed that, I have so much energy and stay full after eating potatoes
@@thanos8403During the Irish Potato Famine, millions of Irish died. Potatoes were all they had during the cold season, and they provided them with all the nutrients they needed; so much so that their population doubled from 4 million to 8 million! They literally had NOTHING ELSE to eat!
Read the book by Dr John McDougall about The Starch Solution. He makes a hypothesis about the fact that people can survive potatoes alone. During the Holocaust, potatoes were the only food source available and kept many alive and well during these periods of starvation.
I would suggest you do your research on potatoes before giving an unfounded opinion.
Taters are fulfilling, but they absolutely do not give you all of the nutrient you need. I stopped planting corn a long time ago, because it’s could be inflammatory.
Preparing for the apacolypse?
CZcams: I got you bruh.
also good job for being self sufficient
lol same
Yep
Bro 😂why I'm here
@Alexej Svirid Jehovah witness is a false religion *(EDIT: Which do not believe Jesus is GOD),* it does not follow the bible it follows a lying false group of false "prophets" called the watchtower who contradict the bible.
czcams.com/video/LQsyfRsSESU/video.html
TLDR:
Jesus is God. JW is false.
One doesn't have to look at Laura's face to see the excitement, her voice says a lot. Very happy for this beautiful family. They worked hard to get to this chapter. Be blessed and enjoy ❤❤
Great video!
We've grown them successfully in buckets, raised beds, and the ground. Potatoes are one of those crops that we grow every year, and there is nothing in the world like a fresh, homegrown potato.
For anyone who came here curious about doing it, I highly recommend you do it. They don't take much work at all, and the end product is totally worth it.
I agree!!!! My husband and I grew potatoes for the very first time this year and we grew them in boxes!! Certainly one can gather together free boxes, but we bought large Lowe’s moving boxes. Boy did they do great!! We were sooooo excited at harvest time, the anticipation of waiting 3 months to finally discover what one has grown under the ground is so exciting that I have to say everyone needs to try growing them. They are fun and so easy to grow.
This is one of the best, easiest to understand gardening videos. Please make more like this!
I saw this video last year/winter and tried it this year and it worked perfectly. I got 4 lbs of yukon gold potatoes (various sizes) in a 3 x 3 ft plot. Will replant this week. Thank you for the tips!
Laura😘... I appreciate you and your show is so warm and welcoming!🤗💕 Thank you so much!
This is the first Garden Answer video I ever watched. I found it in early spring of 2021 and I've been watching every episode since. Thank you Laura and crew for all the wonderful goodness you add to the world. God bless
I love that when I’m about ready to head out and plant, well anything, I can look up one of your videos as a reference
nice i like your comment from pakistan
Thanks, I live in the city in an apartment, but these videos can help lots of people learn how to be self-sufficient
They are so fortunate to have you in their community.
Thank you for this video. I had only decided to plant potatoes a week ago with my other veggies and this was the 5th video that actually made it easy to plant potatoes. I appreciation that.
The cats thinking, “Why is she planting potatoes in my giant kitty litter.” 🙀
Kitty litter is good in nutrients...
fascist Stefano maino cat shit is toxic
Don't worry the cat will find a way :))
What’s the only thing u will not find in front of a dead cat on a highway ! skid marks lmao
My neighbour complained about my cat shittin in her rhubarb...... I told her....Who says u cant train a cat......
I love how Cats always are interested in what you are doing and they check it out and then the be like meh and they Leave
I am so excited finally we bought out forever home and my planting skills are going to grow so much! Potatoes are the very first I want to start! I'm here for it all ! Thank you
What a great video. Short and sweet and right to the point. Not a lot of unnecessary chatter. Perfect
Really appreciate that this video was informative yet short and concise. Straight to the point. Thank you!!
Can you please do a follow-up once they've sprouted? 😄
Starting my garden for the very first time. Potatoes will be one of the first on the list. Thank you.
Love all the progress, and you guys should be absolutely PROUD of all your accomplishments thus far❤🌿💚🌿💜🌿🧡🌿💙
Straight to the point video and easy to understand,thank you. If only other youtubers would do their videos like this😃
So I woke up today after heavy drinking, and saw this on my browsing history LMAO.
maybe you were going to start a vodka operation? lol
@@kingjames4886 maybe haha
nice i like your comment

HAHAHAHAA 😂😂😂
Thank you for the great info! I had to laugh when your kitty jumped up there. As if thanking you for the lovely new litter box😂
Very good. Thank you for your service.
Really enjoyed your video - it was informative and easy to follow for a total beginner like me. I have just bought a new house and am starting a vegetable garden - a plot 4.4m x 2m - and spuds are going to be planted among other things such as French runner beans, beetroot, radish, broad beans, parsnip, leeks, and also raspberry and gooseberry.
For people who don't have access to raised beds, grow bags work very well! Fold the sides down and plant the potatoes like she shows here. As the shoots start coming up, add more soil to the bag, raising the sides up a little at a time. By the time the bag is completely unfolded and the soil line is almost at the top, allow the shoots to keep going, flowering, and then once they yellow and fall over, dump the bag out and harvest your potatoes.
What type of soil do you use in the bags for potatoes?
Rebecca Stack any good compost will do as long as it’s well draining.
Everything I needed to know and nothing I didn't. Thank you.
Thank you for a straight forward informative video without 20 minutes of droning on about useless information. You've got a new subscriber. Thanks.
I love gardens I've seen some of the most beautiful ones ever and helped plant them
Am on my way to plant my colleagues, you encourage me guys
I was JUST thinking about this. Perfecting timing ♥️👍🏼
One of the best potato planting growing teaching videos. Perfect. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Laura nice and easy way of explaining a start to growing my own potatoes!! I will watch more of your video's!!
Thanks Laura. Will try planting potatoes. Watching from Tagum city 🇵🇭
nice i like your comment from pakistan
Every human being should relearn growing foods. This global financial system is DONE.
Haha saddle your horses mr. Death rate of covid is unknown but very low. Things will go back to what they uses to
Soul harvest time
Simon Cowell not about the death rate sir
@@TheStifler1992 Its not about the death rate sire
@@TheStifler1992 nope,its not returning.Well not rerurning te way it was.You are going to have to be tested and show with a pendant that you were tested or vaccinated,if not no food for you.
Love how curious you cat is, right in the middle of your video! 😹
Quick, to the point, specific, no gimmicks, and short. Brilliant video. Now I have a good idea.
Who here after coronavirus?
Hereby Hereby 🙋🏻♀️
Yoooo
Yes
@@radioactivedynamite me
People will be my main source of nutrition, but I do like me a potato every once in awhile
Who else is here because they accidently grew some potatoes and wants to know more?
2 years later I think no one
Everything going forward will just make it even more beautiful
It’s always fun to look back at this video!🎉
Nice
it's night and I'm just here before an exam checking out how to plant potatoes in case everything else fails
Yeah I heard farming is a good job. Same bro
Kept the video simple , didn't rabble on with loads of information that wasn't needed, well done girl x
Great presentation on planting potatoes! With the right recipe, those potatoes will be so good!
Thank you so much for a wonderful & easy video....🙏🙏👏👏👏
My son (14 yr old) & I cut a 55 gallon drum in half & used it.. Gotta use what ya got ;)...
Katrina Georgia Girl how did it go? :)
Alicia MacFarlane: Absolutely wonderful so far.. I have heeled them 3 times & now they are standing about 2 ft tall. So glad my son went crazy when drilling holes, because it poured here in North Ga for a week. 5 in of rain. They are still going good!
Good work Katrina. I got mine in late just 2 plants in big planters but they’re going bonkers. (Central N.Y.)
Katrina Georgia Girl did it grow
Mickey Jab Jab: Absolutely, we had about 2 lbs per half 55 gallon...
Looking for how to grow the veggies I love and this was so simple. Thank you I will be sharing this with my family.
What a beautiful garden space !! I would purchase that beautiful potting table. So nice for Aarons sister.
Please do garden harvest videos this year. 😊
yesssss please
Kim Barnes iiiii
Here's the harvest: czcams.com/video/UKmsNBoEofE/video.html
Great informative vid. I'll be planting 6-60' rows of the Red Pontiac in N. Fl. tomorrow.Decrease of the Moon for under ground crops and plant on the increase of the moon for above ground crops, that's what PaPa always said anyway.
That’s so cool. I’m going to try that too!
I dont even have a garden and this just appeared in my recommendation but damn I enjoyed how informative it was and how chill and relaxing her narration was. Very nice :)
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT and highly informative. Well done! Excellent video!
100 days for Yukon gold mashed potatoes! I gotta do those now that I live in Idaho😄 Thanks for the tips!!
don’t follow what she’s saying, she knows nothing on how to grow potatoes. the majority of what she has claimed is utter nonsense.
Killer…that’s rude!
100 days is a long time .
@@louisecox9641 Is it true you should be asking not being a snowflake .
Oh I've tried this before, I didn't succeed in the end because I don't know proper care after sprouts started showing. Will try again.
it’s simple, just cover them up with soil. and water now and again. what went wrong for you?
Thank you so much for making this video! Definitely made me feel less anxious!
How Fun!! What a great way to have a garden with limited space. I love it! I want one!!!!
0:49 Your automatic fertilizer arrived.
😂😂😂
We say earthing up the soil here in the UK. Boxes look great.
Thank you!! We have asparagus and raspberries but I would love to add potatoes. My neighbor has tomatoes and my friend has peppers. A lot of us out here are doing little by little and helping each other out and these types of videos are so amazing. Thank you again!❤❤
I will do this... in always hot sunny climate? I remember my dad doing this when I was a teen and had planted a huge garden with a bag of these at his side .this brings back memories.
Nice. I planted mine in a raised bed a month ago and are already 9 inches tall.
Hi, can please send me the details for making bed for growing potatoes...
That's awesome! Growing potatoes is so easy! And they grow so fast. Mine are about 2 feet tall, and have been in for 2 1/2 months maybe. Just dont forget to watch out for pests like potato bugs/ Colorado beetles. Diatomaceous Earth food grade is great, and good for organic gardening 👍
0:50
cat thinking: Hmm, I think I can poop in here later.
Love your short videos..straight to the point, no annoying waffle 👍
Yes, thank you for making a short video that answers all my questions about potatoes. 👌🏻
I grew up on a farm and we always cut the potatoes into pieces like you did, but i usually see people in vids leaving them whole so i was glad to see yiu didnt. They go a lot further, obviously, when you cut them and it works just fine, :)
gayla gavin watch another episode on agritechguru channel
Right. Why waste a whole potatoe to grow a potatoe. I just cut mine for mashed potatoes tonight, took the skin with eyes out and made 2 rows of potatoes in the garden out of peels from 1 supper. Win win
Barbi Button will they get big potatoes out of them though? Curious... I’ve never done any gardening
Gigi Same here hon. We always cut them so that each eye was planted separately when possible. Made it go further. Didn’t seem to weaken the plant or affect harvest. It was usually drought or something else that would bother harvest.
I watched a programme where an elderly gardener said he just plants the potato peel with the eyes on...not the whole potato..
i love how you're stroking the soil at the end!
nice i like your comment from pakistan
I came to realise that potato growing is pretty rewarding besides being easy. Good and precise video.
Thats a nice tutorial. Thank you for the tips. Going to harvesting. Excited
I just chuck em on the ground and cover them with hay - Ruth Stout method (no dig). No trenches, no digging, no weeds until harvest.
Where is the *Potato Harvest* part 2 video? Can you put the link in the description box? Thanks!
czcams.com/video/UKmsNBoEofE/video.html Here you go!
I LOVE potatoes, their so diverse and can be cooked so many different ways and their ALL delicious. I want to get my chops round a GMO potato some day!
Thank you so much for this tips, would be looking forward for more upcoming videos if gardening from you
This is how they make the potatoes some CZcams videos are shot with.
Thanks for this helpful information
Thank you my dear, perfect and al i needed Now Ill just wait it out till spring and do exactly just what you said. Love from S Africa.
Love your assistant!
I planted one and then the next day it was eaten by my dog :(
The Noob Guy:Hey dog are you eating my potato garden you twat
Dog: >:)
Keep that dog. It will grow inside him and eventually will shit fresh organic potatoes.
Oh yea yeah
Sad life 😢
built fences, mine just walked through my little corn field and kill some corn plants :(
Omg I’m going to attempt this the weekend. It’s just so hard growing a stone in arizona.
Geeat idea, especially considering the upcoming deppression
You can find them anywhere
Coming back to this fantastic video... because the potatoes I bought a month ago and forgot about now have perfect eyes... and it's the perfect time to plant them! lol
Been following your channel for sometime and love them . I have learned so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge .
🌱MULCH,
🌱MULCH,🌱MULCH it's the key to any successful Garden, especially in raised beds...🍀
Mixed in or just mulch top
Shut up. She's a professional.
Cutting a large one in half: old tip well worth doing if short of seed potatoes
I love how your orange kitty is helping out lol
😭💯Just remembered my great grandmother.
My son like French fry harvesting from our garden. It is greater in taste
FRENCH FRY HARVESTING
I’m calling it that from now on!
thats cool
Boiled potatoes and Baked potatoes can fill ur stomach for 5-9 hours it's really efficient
temperature wise how early can u start them
Thanks a lot! I planted my potatoes earlier this year and accidentally forgot about it but I just checked it yesterday. Tada! Sprouts are more than 15 cm tall and I saw a new potato.
Metric system again.
Thank you! Your explanation and demo is really helpful. God bless you!
How long should it take for sprouts to break the surface?
I noticed a cat in the video. My guess is, that cat will think the raised bed is a litter box. Other than that, the video is informative, thanks.
Yes I had to fence mine because my cat and the neighborhood ferals like to poo in .y good organic soil/garden
Barbi Button he uses a litter box :) she said she’s never had a problem with him having poor manners!
They killed my mothers rosebush and tomatoes. My strawberry bush too.
@@domonicpoores1267 kill them
best to cover grow boxes outside pcv pipe , some green house plastic simple enough to do
Oh the little baby furball roaming around… ❤❤
