You go girl, keep doing what you're doing. You remind me of my sister; bright and outgoing. She and I have been veg gardening for the last few years and love it and our families appreciate it.
Glad you don't let the haters bother you, global warming is happening, whether man made or not, scientific proof to back up the claim that these goofes tend to ignore.
I really don't understand how people think global warming is a myth... it's science.. we are producing to much carbon dioxide , and when all our forests are being cut down we no longer have enough green to take in the carbon dioxide and put out oxygen. I also thinks it's funny that people are watching these videos but then make comments on what's shes doing wrong.. why are you watching if you already know how to do it..
@tkdartistmom Global warming isn't exactly because we're producing too much CO2. It's because the CO2 we produce contains free radicals (an atom with an unbalanced electron, making it unstable, that destroys other atoms it comes in contact with).
The earth itself (i.e. volcanoes and other things) produce a waaay more CO2 than we do, but trees and whatnot are able to recycle it. We contribute to global warming, we just haven't observed it long enough to know exactly how much we're contributing.
So many garden video makers forward the notion that "you don't have to bend over" because it's a raised bed. Stop it. Unless you raise the bed 3 to 4 feet high for wheelchair access or standing height, you have to bend over constantly. Do this test. Stand a 12 inch ruler against a wall. Can you reach it while standing up? No? Then you are bending over.
I was always told me not to cut the potato and immediately plant it because the odds of rot increased. instead you should let the potato sit on a tray for example till the open side "scabs over" then plant it.

@Veganit Look at the oceans?? GW is causing HAVOC? that explains why the Global Warming GURU himself bought a mansion in California right on the ocean. Al Gore says if all the polar ice melts the oceans will rise 20 plus feet. Scientists also confirm we have had a temperature decrease in the past 5 years.

Global warm is a myth like people have said. Think about it. There is only 35 years of oil left in the world at current consumption rates. But now think of China's emerging growth. This will cut that 35 years down to only 20 years. Peak oil is the deadly risk to the world not the made up GW that will take centuries to effect us even if it was real. The world is a living breathing organism. It has a 65 000 year cycle. Warming and cooling during that time.

Seed potatoes are regular potatoes unless you got some nasty hybrid GMO garbage. They didn't even cut it up for you lol. I hope they did charge extra.
You can grow great potatoes from regular potatoes, that's how potatoes have been doing it for a long time : )
If you build up dirt on the stems as they grow and keep a few inches of green on top you will get many times the yield. You can use old tires or whatever around them and keep putting on new ones as it grows filling them with dirt.
I can tell you cutting seed potatoes and planting them directly in the ground is the worse thing you cant do. You only harvest about 25% of your pototoes if you dont cure them first before planting. Most of them rotted in the ground because of this. This has been documented from The Ohio State UnAg offices. Shes just reading from a script obviously. Dont anyone plant potatoes in this manner

Surplus nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer runoff, animal manure, soil erosion and sewage have created a dead zone of more than 7000 square miles in the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi River. the U.N. reported nearly 150 dead zones throughout the worlds oceans in 2007
some 3 million people a year suffer from severe pesticide poisoning. Pesticide exposure can lead to cancer, birth defects and damage to the nervous system. Drinking water contaminated by pesticide runoff is a main source of exposure.
Excess fertilizer use and runoff causes eutrophication in waterways which threatens animal and plant health. The surplus nutrients stimulate excessive plant growth, such as algal blooms, which consume nearly all the available oxygen in the water and cause other plants and animals to suffocate.
Thank you for your invite! I love your videos and appreciate your sharing all this information with all of us. This day you have blessed me with your friendship., thanks again.
"global warming" doesn't really exist, its just a hoax invented by the corporations and their puppet Al Gore to scare the masses into doing their bidding.
you think Gore invented global warming? It's actually been studied for decades. He just saw it as an issue worth fighting for and he's spread the word rather well. Politics today are so divisive that one side will actually take an anti-science stance just to disagree with the other. It's pathetic.
For those of you out there that have never grown "taters" before, you do want to start with good seed potatoes. But don't worry if you don't do everything perfect, its easy to get good results. Most rookies grow some pretty good taters. IT's easy, fun, and you will be glad you did it. Also if you have any little kids to "help" you with them, they will think its fun too.
Wowza! Fantastic vidski! I'll tell you guys what...Just yesterday i got some amazing gardening supplies at brilliant prices from PlantMeNow! google it!
you dont need to buy seed potatoes unless you are in a hurry. Just buy a potato, seat it in a shade part of your house for 2weeks of more and then it will begin to spout into a "seed potato". Then do the cutting as showed in this video.
stuck some sprayed potatoes in a dresser draw so my wife wouldn't use them. took about a month but they started to sprout . that spray is a retarder and not a sprout killer. grew potatoes from them. I guess monsanto didn't figure this one out yet
VICTORY?? HELL YEAH! not against global warming! against the corperations that are genetically modifying all our veggies and charge ridiculous prices! in OZ we are seeing unprecedented prices! i mean 5 dollars every 2 kilos [ 4.4pounds roughly ]!!! and coles/woolworths own 70 percent of all supermarkets! its a shocker!! they are pricefixing hardcore! the corperate corruption is unbeleivable here!!! down with the new world order!!!
@bushdidit2u911 ... looks like the globalists are closing in on all of us sheep, they control our governments, they force us to buy where they want through regulation, their corporations own the media and entertainment. They contribute to our colleges and buy the agenda and even management so they can get to our kids.
That's what we get with big government control, when we allow that it means that we have put ourselves up for sale, and we have been bought.
@bushdidit2u911 Not surprised! New world order is affecting not just the food chain, but medical , financial , freedom etc. On a different note, is that hay above the soil?
@bushdidit2u911...screw you and your hatred for the New World Order. It's here to stay. The New World order loves you. It feeds you, clothes you, gives you employment. And all you do is complain against your luxury western lifestyle. If you hate it so much, go live in North Korea you fu.knob
@Jaminetdotcom The New World Order is not being done by the people's choice. Go live in North Korea..is pretty lame. It would be the same as we have here. The United States of America is Not a Democracy system...It is founded on a Republic.....and to the Republic for which it stands. But I'm sure you have not pledged the flag in many years. 2/3 of Americans want out of Afghanistan, our government cares less.The government is a hijacked organization run by the big banks.
You planted Yukon Gold (an early variety) the same was as Russet (a late variety) but they really should be treated differently. The Yukons only give potatoes in the top 6 inches of soil so will do well in your beds. The Russets should be buried deeper as the stalks come up so they will grow more tubers from new roots higher up on the plant.
Also, "Seed Potatoes" are just potatoes. The first time you plant, get starters because they are organic and virus free.
Global Warming is measurable and non-debatable. It has been going on for thousands of years. What is debated is whether the 50 billion gallons of carbon we dump into the atmosphere each year is escalating the natural cycle into a runaway global catastrophe. The correct term is AGW - "Anthropogenic Global Warming".
humans have an effect, no doubt. just a very small effect that it barely matters. doesn't mean we shouldnt be energy efficient and clean. cuz we should. we should have electric cars at the very least.
Read up... 450 parts per million of CO2 is a critical tipping point at which our marine animals with shells or bones will start disolving into their acid environment... and we're going to have trouble avoiding that concentration. This effect is already being observed with coral etc being much thinner than it was generations ago.
Gregg Braden talks about precession, our position in the galaxy, and the cyclical effect on our global warming and cooling cycles. The precession cycle is 12,500 years. Check it out.
@WoundedEgo ... they count CO2 as carbon lol, and it's debatable whether even the official numbers on that are not a fraud. What you don't hear about is how much "carbon" is naturally produced and that the variables in natural carbon estimates are thousands of times what humans can even loosely be attributed to contributing. When the variable is thousands of times the amount they are saying causes global climate change, it's like saying farting the wrong way in a Hurricane could make it worse.
Go to Europe and say that! They've been acting to reduce emissions for decades. Read the IPCC Physical science review for a conservative summary of what the scientists have been looking at for decades.
Then ask yourself if there was only a 1% chance that climate change was real... would it be worth addressing? (higher incidence of strong storms, problems with agriculture etc). Not to mention that most fossil fuel use is associated with carcinogins. Honestly, we're better off without them.
Thanks. Potatoes are good for their bulk, that helps fill you up easy. Though they are basically harder to cook than other veggies, unless shredded first like carrots.
Potatoe's are excellent for clearing grown they make it richer for the next veggie that you intend to plant . when i build a new veggie bed i always use Potatoes first for cleaning the soil for my next veg. i'm in heaven with my rised bed's. as i get older my rised bed's get higher lol!. thank you for sharing with us. ;-)
what i heard was that potatoes make the soil un usuable, and you cant keep growing potatoes using the same soil. thats what caused the irish to immagrate to america cus their main food was dying off
That's rediculous. How could the sun heat the earth. Besides all of the other planets have been getting hotter, so we know the people on them have been producing too much polution...
Dang! I forgot about the people on other planets and their 3 mpg super size suv's stinking up the stratosphere of the superfluous planets. My bad.......LOL.
saving regular potatoes for seed can spread disease.
you can start potatoes early by chitting them. chitting means presprouting. put the seed potatoes in a sunny window so the eyes start growing sprouts. then just make sure you don't knock the sprouts off when you plant them. they'll be up in no time.
Hi. I am thinking in preparing my backyard to start planting potatoes, green peppers, tomatoes, etc. But it is kindda full of grass & weeds. How do I get rid of that so that there is nothing else but dirt iin the ground? Is there a good hand tool I can use effectively? I can not afford powertools, so Im gonna have to stick to handtools. Can anyone help me out please & tell me what to use and do? Thanks.
You need a garden fork or or spade ( shovel in the US I think). Dig the whole area over, removing roots and weeds. Then rake the area with- you guessed it a rake! You want the soil to be as fine as possible to plant in.
You need a hoe to keep down weeds too.
There ya go- a fork, a rake and hoe. All you need.
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I got me exactly all the things you mentioned. We removed most of the weeds(we are half way through now). Can you use regular potatoes from the grocery store? I have a few inside of a paperbag & they now look good like the seed potatoes kind. Thanks.
Hi, An easy way to get rid of grass and weeds is to go by some place like Lowes that sell refrigerators, etc. and ask for the flattened boxes (they are huge), mow the area, throw down the cardboard, wet it down, and after a bit, no more anything, just dirt and sometimes worms. Do not use close to the house as it attracts termites. I use it on the bottom of my SFG and u can put straw over it too or plant over it. =)
We just pull them off the best we could with a hoe, but we couldnt get them all. We already planted onions, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, corn, culantro, cabbage, strawberries, potatoes, eggplants, pumpkings, watermelons & tomatoes. I thinks thats all we planted. But the damn weeds keep growing 50 times faster than the actual vegetables plants...lol.
I will sure try that next year before I start planting. Maybe in winter right before it snows. I'll make a video soon. Thanks. ;)
If you believed it was real, you would reject any assertion that it is a political agenda... and you would probably believe that it is a scientifically identified problem that needs multiple solutions. In fact, most people who believe that it is real(most people not in America) are concerned about it& get pretty sick of it being a political football - we would rather see some practical solutions being implemented.
so pati.. are you best friends with all the veggitarians in the neighborhood yet? Btw, I bought some worms for my indoor container plants! (After watching your composting video). I hope it'd work swell for the little indoor space i can grow. Would let you know on it! Peace woman!
When cutting the seed potatoes (chitting them) it's best to let the cut ends heal a bit before planting them. This makes them more resistant to bacteria naturally present in the soil. Also, you'll get better results if, instead of just knocking the seed potatoes in, you set them in with there eyes up, because that's how the stem will grow.
You can cut as many peices as there are eyes on the potatoes. However, you don't have to cutt them at all if you don't want to. :) Also, make sure your "cuttlings" are out of the sun for about 5 to 10 days (you will see the scabs forming). Also, the more you space them apart while planting, the bigger your potatoes should be. This woman is diong it right, but I would recommend planting them atleast 2 feet apart. Hope this helps. P.S. Harvest after plant is dead (about 3 months). EZ grow.
They are actually natives to that region, so HELL YA. As long as this vegetable gets "atleast" 6 hours of sunlight, then you're good to go. It is really hard to destroy this plant, that's what is so great about it. This ez to grow vegetable has saved whole nations if you think about it. :)
You can use cut pieces of regular organic potatoes that sprout in your "root cellar"- Eating potatoes are just less disease/pest resistant that the "eating" potatoes of the same type. You can plant them in stacks of tires or in piles of straw or a chicken wire tube - just google around a bit or search youtube for instructions.
garden girl i dont have access to seed potatoes so can i use normal cooking potatoes. i also want to use sand and garden soil to grow then in what should be the ratio
Nice video and nice editing! I enjoyed the tips, I might try the barrel method. I don't think global temperature change is man made or man preventable, but I love the fresh food and self sufficiency of my garden.
I jammed a couple rotten potatoes in the ground and a see a few pieces of leaves comin out, how the hell am I gonna get these things growin, i been waitin too long.
Damn potatos R 2 hard to grow. what shuld i do garden girls????

some 3 million people a year suffer from severe pesticide poisoning. Pesticide exposure can lead to cancer, birth defects and damage to the nervous system. Drinking water contaminated by pesticide runoff is a main source of exposure.
pdsavage 2 years ago
Excess fertilizer use and runoff causes eutrophication in waterways which threatens animal and plant health. The surplus nutrients stimulate excessive plant growth, such as algal blooms, which consume nearly all the available oxygen in the water and cause other plants and animals to suffocate.

you think Gore invented global warming? It's actually been studied for decades. He just saw it as an issue worth fighting for and he's spread the word rather well. Politics today are so divisive that one side will actually take an anti-science stance just to disagree with the other. It's pathetic.

For those of you out there that have never grown "taters" before, you do want to start with good seed potatoes. But don't worry if you don't do everything perfect, its easy to get good results. Most rookies grow some pretty good taters. IT's easy, fun, and you will be glad you did it. Also if you have any little kids to "help" you with them, they will think its fun too.

@bushdidit2u911 ... looks like the globalists are closing in on all of us sheep, they control our governments, they force us to buy where they want through regulation, their corporations own the media and entertainment. They contribute to our colleges and buy the agenda and even management so they can get to our kids.
That's what we get with big government control, when we allow that it means that we have put ourselves up for sale, and we have been bought.

You planted Yukon Gold (an early variety) the same was as Russet (a late variety) but they really should be treated differently. The Yukons only give potatoes in the top 6 inches of soil so will do well in your beds. The Russets should be buried deeper as the stalks come up so they will grow more tubers from new roots higher up on the plant.
Also, "Seed Potatoes" are just potatoes. The first time you plant, get starters because they are organic and virus free.
Don't reuse the soil carelessly.

reallyrandomdude23 2 years ago
Global Warming is measurable and non-debatable. It has been going on for thousands of years. What is debated is whether the 50 billion gallons of carbon we dump into the atmosphere each year is escalating the natural cycle into a runaway global catastrophe. The correct term is AGW - "Anthropogenic Global Warming".

regardless of the name, its happening. :(

Read up... 450 parts per million of CO2 is a critical tipping point at which our marine animals with shells or bones will start disolving into their acid environment... and we're going to have trouble avoiding that concentration. This effect is already being observed with coral etc being much thinner than it was generations ago.

@WoundedEgo ... they count CO2 as carbon lol, and it's debatable whether even the official numbers on that are not a fraud. What you don't hear about is how much "carbon" is naturally produced and that the variables in natural carbon estimates are thousands of times what humans can even loosely be attributed to contributing. When the variable is thousands of times the amount they are saying causes global climate change, it's like saying farting the wrong way in a Hurricane could make it worse.

Go to Europe and say that! They've been acting to reduce emissions for decades. Read the IPCC Physical science review for a conservative summary of what the scientists have been looking at for decades.
Then ask yourself if there was only a 1% chance that climate change was real... would it be worth addressing? (higher incidence of strong storms, problems with agriculture etc). Not to mention that most fossil fuel use is associated with carcinogins. Honestly, we're better off without them.

saving regular potatoes for seed can spread disease.
you can start potatoes early by chitting them. chitting means presprouting. put the seed potatoes in a sunny window so the eyes start growing sprouts. then just make sure you don't knock the sprouts off when you plant them. they'll be up in no time.

Can anyone help me out please & tell me what to use and do? Thanks.
JOSYMOL 2 years ago
You need a garden fork or or spade ( shovel in the US I think). Dig the whole area over, removing roots and weeds. Then rake the area with- you guessed it a rake! You want the soil to be as fine as possible to plant in.
You need a hoe to keep down weeds too.
There ya go- a fork, a rake and hoe. All you need.
roberts1966 2 years ago
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I got me exactly all the things you mentioned. We removed most of the weeds(we are half way through now). Can you use regular potatoes from the grocery store? I have a few inside of a paperbag & they now look good like the seed potatoes kind. Thanks.
JOSYMOL 2 years ago
All the gardening books say you shouldn't but I've used ordinary potatoes before and they worked fine.
My grandad reckoned he grew pototatoes from just left over potatoe peelings during the depression in the 1930s, but he coulda been fibbing.
I'm gonna wait till times are really really hard before I try.

It is possible for potatoes to grow from the peelings . You shouldn't put the peelings into your compost as they can sprout .
mikecat23 2 years ago
Hi, An easy way to get rid of grass and weeds is to go by some place like Lowes that sell refrigerators, etc. and ask for the flattened boxes (they are huge), mow the area, throw down the cardboard, wet it down, and after a bit, no more anything, just dirt and sometimes worms. Do not use close to the house as it attracts termites. I use it on the bottom of my SFG and u can put straw over it too or plant over it. =)

But the damn weeds keep growing 50 times faster than the actual vegetables plants...lol.
I will sure try that next year before I start planting. Maybe in winter right before it snows. I'll make a video soon. Thanks. ;)

If you believed it was real, you would reject any assertion that it is a political agenda... and you would probably believe that it is a scientifically identified problem that needs multiple solutions. In fact, most people who believe that it is real(most people not in America) are concerned about it& get pretty sick of it being a political football - we would rather see some practical solutions being implemented.

milesbiddulph 3 years ago
When cutting the seed potatoes (chitting them) it's best to let the cut ends heal a bit before planting them. This makes them more resistant to bacteria naturally present in the soil. Also, you'll get better results if, instead of just knocking the seed potatoes in, you set them in with there eyes up, because that's how the stem will grow.
Illisil 3 years ago

thank you!!! .. How many pieces do you cut the seed potato in? ... and how long do you let the seed potatoes heal before planting? tks
finefilth 3 years ago
You can cut as many peices as there are eyes on the potatoes. However, you don't have to cutt them at all if you don't want to. :) Also, make sure your "cuttlings" are out of the sun for about 5 to 10 days (you will see the scabs forming). Also, the more you space them apart while planting, the bigger your potatoes should be. This woman is diong it right, but I would recommend planting them atleast 2 feet apart. Hope this helps. P.S. Harvest after plant is dead (about 3 months). EZ grow.

They are actually natives to that region, so HELL YA. As long as this vegetable gets "atleast" 6 hours of sunlight, then you're good to go. It is really hard to destroy this plant, that's what is so great about it. This ez to grow vegetable has saved whole nations if you think about it. :)
wtfyourdumb 3 years ago 4
The reason you cut them is because to many will grow in one spot if you don't and will crowd them and cause them to grow small
Sis363 3 years ago
You can use cut pieces of regular organic potatoes that sprout in your "root cellar"- Eating potatoes are just less disease/pest resistant that the "eating" potatoes of the same type. You can plant them in stacks of tires or in piles of straw or a chicken wire tube - just google around a bit or search youtube for instructions.
