I remember my Dad planting some of those purple potatoes about 30 years ago. Company sure got puzzled looks when my Mom sat blue mashed potatoes on the table. 😋 You and the girls planted a Patriotic potato patch, red, white (really yellow I suppose) and blue. Good Job! We canned a bunch of the smaller potatoes we got when I was a kid, just to make sure we had some in case they didn't last the winter. 😉

Once again, a family working together. Key word "work". This effort on the part of the family is something an entire generation of people could learn from. Your family must spend a lot of time talking about the value of effort. I try to tell people about your web-presence but too many people don't seem to care about watching other people who have your value system. It seems it is too easy to watch the television or play video games. Oh, to be young and vibrant again. I think if i was (young and vibrant), I'd be your neighbor and try to exert a tenth of the effort that your amazing family does, and I'd consider it an accomplishment. Such an amazing family. On those inevitable days when you have sons-in-law, I hope each of them also considers the value of effort and accomplishment as well; so that you have a generation of grand-babies that also value independence, through hard work and personal willpower. This nation is going to need people like that and sooner than we all think. May your clan thrive forever and be a positive influence to all generations to come.

FYI - I buy organic taters from the store and place them in a paper bag for a few days or so. Once I have the buds in the very least I then plant the taters with the most buds pointing up. Yep. I plant them whole. Believe it or not it works. I have even planted non-organic taters that had sprouted. Works great and it is a family tradition to plant the taters whole. I plant on St. Patrick's day here just as my grandmother once did. I'm of Irish decent and St. Patty's is what we call tater planting day. You are correct. Taters are tough. In fact I believe the worse you treat them the better off they are.

Please remember and don't keep growing your potatoes in the same ground, move them every two years or so and grow a top growing veg like Kale or Cabbage, or beans, you get the idea but every year before planting, feed the soil naturally with animal manure then every so many years rest the soil for two years, grow grass with clover great feed for your animal's, you are correct and I think your family already know home grown is the best taste ever, and the memories you make will stay with the girls for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, we cut them as we planted them. Doesn't matter but we hilled them one year and covered the whole plot with black plastic another year. Don't remember if it made a difference other than less work (no weeding) with the plastic. You punch a small hole and pull the tater leaves out, leaving the taters under the plastic. That's in climate zone 6B.

I've been wondering for the last five days since I watched this planting video. For some reason, your family's success is something I find myself rooting for. (notice the pun?) I suppose I started being a "fan" of your efforts when you and your Wunderkinder were trying to get that well dug by hand on the older property. For some reason, I think about, and hope for your homesteading success often.

If u need to save space the rows could be closer together. I plant the rows 32" apart and they grow huge. Will be looking forward to the harvesting. Thats a lot of potatoes!

Not a big potato eater, literally just a few times a year plus the wife is Philippina and she is a rice freak. That said I like to grow things and for sh×ts and giggles last year decided to grow potatoes. Never grew them before. Threw them in the ground, was told I did it wrong n I was to mound them n didn't at the end of it I got 35lbs from this tiny ass area. So doing them again expanded it this year no mounding again ...so hopefully it works as well as last year . I planted 50 sunflowers this year and folks are asking what are u going to do with them all n as I said I just like growing things, I tell them its all for the bird's n they have a puzzle look.
