[mickyboy200768]

thank you so much for inviting us to your garden by sharing your video which are very helpful,keep up the good man,

[VTwanderer]

For some reason your Intro music reminds me of Super nintendo games

[sugardaddy31766]

how tall should the plant be when you first rake or hoe the dirt up around them?

[greeneyefull]

I have been told potatoes do better if you plant them on the dark side of the moon,and any other root crop will do better also.I have heard they will resist disease easier

[pepperjoe12]

Check out my YOUTube Gardening videos. Thanks.

[ThanksgivingWalk]

Plants look gorgeous. Thanks for posting. Clever idea to save then replant your own pototoes.

Readers - If you have a family member or friend give some of their fresh organic produce you find especially tastely to you, consider saving, then replanting the seed. Starting your own "seed bank" could be a great way to ensure you have quality, inexpensive seeds on hand when you get ready to plant. Many Youtube videos on how to do this.

[pepperjoe12]

Good video. Check out my Garden Videos at YouTube.

[frequencydude]

very good video keep em coming. thanks for the info. really enjoyed watching.

[survivalseeds]

Potatoes may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in the early spring, but you must use good judgment. Potato plants will not begin to grow until the soil temperature has reached 45 degrees F.

[TheAudiorub]

what kind of soil do you need

[dollbabysmom]

I learned alot ! Thankyou for sharing . . . .

[jihadacadien]

LOl last year in Canada I still had like 5 feet of snow

[freedomunrestricted]

I've also heard used tires work good as well center a tire over a potato plant as they grow fill the tire will soil, add more tires as needed. when the potatoes are ready just knock the stack of tires over and harvest.

I haven't tried it because I was told too late but a friend said to grow them in a garbage can. Start at the bottom and as they start getting taller shovel on more dirt and they will grow potatoes up the whole can. Like I said I haven't tried it yet but if it works could be a cool trick.

[crip23walk23]

wow my potatoes are a few weeks old and they r twise as big! :P

[rogerely]

My potatoes are growing like wildfire, along with the rest of my raised bed stuff. It's a new garden and I was worried, but I have shit growing everywhere!

[JohnRhysMusician]

Love the video, love the accent, love the potato plants.

[DP1066]

I just planted three potatoes for the very first time. I noticed that they became slightly soft while the eyes were growing. Is that something I should be concerned about or is a soft potato not a problem? there were no obvious scars that I could see.

[hunt1803]

Your seed potato can be soft when you plant, it is not a problem. The seed is the initial food source for the plant. It will usually dissolve away into the soil as the plant develops. By the way, you can 'hill up' the potato plants with soil as they grow, or use hay or other clippings. We threw all our grass clippings in the walkway next to our potatoes one year, when we went out to dig, we found all the potatoes growing in the mulch between the rows, nice and clean...

[DP1066]

Thanks for the reply! The new stems just broke the surface of the ground yesterday.

[feebix]

Oh good god, lol Tires, lmao you mean tyres?! hahahahaa jeezus....

[truthspeaker969]

[scarygary76]

[xraysatilite]

[greentxmama]

Great video useful info. Thanks!

[guitarhero30]

thank u for this video, its very helpful and now iwant to start a garden :)

[aybesee123]

I have heard it is good to grow in tires. Place a tire and fill with soil and potato. When leafs form above soil line you add a tire and fill again. Continue as long as you wish...

[TheVampirella]

You have to be careful growing food items in tires, they tend to leach chemicals.  People who work at tire facilities are required to wear gloves - and for good reason.

But for flowers and such tire planters are nice.

[scarygary76]

No they do not. Tires do not break down and they entrain the heavymetals within the matrix of the rubber. They do not leach plastacisers like many of the ready made plastic pots.

Nothing wrong with tires for growin taters!

[mutiny08]

that process of putting the soil up around the plant as it grows is called earthing up. you will be able to see little "buds" or sections off the main plant that look like it would produce roots, and when you do you can wait until its about 6 inches above the ground before u earth up, then wait till it goes another 6 inches and do it again. you can harvest your potatoes when the leafy part of the plant (the top) dries up n pretty much dies.

[moniequa]

how long can you keep potatoes in the ground?

[manalishi911]

Potatoes are great for growing in places with little garden room. Use 5gal pots, can move them around if needed. And when it comes to harvest just dump bucket upside down and pick out your potatoes. Reuse dirt and start a new batch.

[Josiah922]

So how did you store the potatoes from last year?

[survivalistboards]

In a big bowl sitting on the cabinet

[Josiah922]

ROFL. So no freezing or stored in the dark or anything?

[survivalistboards]

Just keep them cool and out of sun light.

[HighTimes4Life]

I can't plant yet because where i'm at in washington the ground is still frozen =(

[rebelyellshooter]

Are those Idaho or Texas potatioes? Ha Ha Good one Kev.
