Excellent information - but not sure it is relevant in TN where I am. It will be 85 during the day and 23 at night and it is off and on while trying to figure out when to plant. I plant in containers that are actually laundry baskets (and yes, lots of water. I also have a bag of the small Russian potatoes and it has been going for year in and out of the not heated greenhouse. And, as a Southern born and raised lady, now 80, sorry, but I want a white potato. If it was disguised like in a soup, might be cream colored, but if just potato, mashed, baked or potato chipped, white. I am pleasantly surprised at the knowledge and research that many of the long term homesteaders/farmers have done to benefit us. I lived in the 60s on a farm that a professor had started as a semi solar organic farm in a civil war stone home. Incredible how planned it was and easy to work on. Never had to heat and cool the chicken coop or barn as both were placed perfectly for the sun in the winter and the summer. And, the barn was on 2 levels, store the bales of feed on one side and put livestock in stalls on the lower level and that way, you could just roll the bales (only small ones then) into the stalls as needed. It is great to see your friend sharing so much with us. TY

Even though I like potatoes, I won't grow them, takes up to much space in my garden areas. I did grow 200 Okra plants this fall but I won't eat it, I grew them to sell and I made a few bucks, however it's easy to grow them but a hassle to harvest them twice a day since they grow so fast and they need to be picked around 4 inches, won't do it again. Now I'm growing about 300 jalapenos plants for my Spring garden, will be less work since I don't slave pick them 2 times a day, I'm gonna sell these as well.

This two part series was so helpful! I've ordered a catalog from Wood Prairie. I'm MOST interested in the comparison chart. I wish that was available on the website (or just a PDF download of the catalog). Sites often talk about "early, mid and late" harvest but don't give you a ball park number of days. I realize that varies depending on local growing conditions, but a comparison of that between varieties would be super helpful. And then if you do have an early variety, one assumes it won't store well into winter, because it might be out of the ground as early as June or July? Not something a lot of suppliers talk about. I think one of the biggest hurdles for home gardeners is we do not have the ideal storage conditions for our potatoes once harvested. We do the best we can, but they start to sprout in storage mid winter in the best of cases (my blue's always sprout super early, then the reds...). And we're always told to NOT refrigerate our potatoes. Why is that? Sounds like Wood Prairie stores theirs at 38 degrees. I'd LOVE to hear more about which potatoes hold their dormancy better in less than ideal storage conditions, and is that a feature of moisture content? Thickness of skin? Early vs Late varieties? (My storage is an insulated unheated pantry in my garage. It doesn't freeze, but its definitely variable in temperature depending on the time of year). LOVED the part about determinate vs indeterminate varieties, which also is never fully explained by most suppliers. I assume indeterminate is shown by propensity to daisy chain? Helpful way to know if what you have is an I or a D. Again, can't thank you enough for this content.

Simply gardening it's a guy in the UK has his own KZitem program I don't know if he ever watched him I've been watching him for years he has a lot of questions he can answer just as well as this fella here you must start with the soul the soil is the very most important thing when it comes to potatoes and all your vegetables one thing that you didn't mention in this program is potato berries if you did I must have missed it potato berries are your true potato seeds just like there is small as tomato seeds you will find when you plant them you'll have different kinds of potatoes out of each little Berry usually it's three different kinds to makes one kind that you planting but if you can get potato berries you will find the natural 1st Gene of potatoes a lot of people don't know about this some people are just getting into it start with that and you have to transplant just like tomato plants and stuff but to get into potatoes truly you have to start with the soul rotation makes a difference just like you mentioned in this video because of certain gases there's also in the Bible that tells you the time to rest for a year and back in the biblical days not many farmers remember this 1/8 of their crop they gave away food they plant their vegetables east and west for themself North and South crops planted 1/8 of their acreage sometimes to a quarter depending how big it is they would give that to the homeless and the poor this is old school farming I've learned back in the seventies and it's lost its secrets because when you bless people like God blesses you you will always do well another thing about gardening I found out using lava rocks not volcanic rock volcanic is hard and heavy lava is light like balsa wood it crumbles up we used to use it in our gas grills so the flame and the grease would capture on the lava rock I bought a pallet full of a truck from Lowe's one time and grind it all this up you talk about a beautiful yield starting in your garden and my soul literally turned almost black and one season because I use a lot of chicken manure quail manure organic matter from the yard green which would be raw and dry and when I have a crap done putting in dormant all summer I cover it with a tarp and that protects everything from getting away like all your gases from the cover crop and also it helps darken your soul these are some things that you might want to think of I wish I could talk to you on a cell phone I live here in Foley Alabama so I know what you're going through with the heat I grow my potatoes in 7 gallon containers and yes you can grow potatoes in them you would not believe how well they do close together and you have to have proper drainage I know I'm taking too much of your time but like I said I wish I could talk to you on the phone the potato berries is where to start at and you always have seats when you first start out planting these they're small golf both sides or bigger but then eventually in a few years they get bigger the quality of your potatoes is better I would like to have better taste and potatoes instead of a big one that's okay not only when you plant them from the berries they store a lot better people are trying to make things bigger and more but the quality of food is getting blander and blander just like the chicken I can remember when chicken tasted way better than it does now because they're not putting back what it needs one day this place will be nothing but sand and nothing will grow because we're not taking care of the ground if you don't take care of your ground then you're going to have a handful of sand and all will be lost so start with your soil all good gardeners and farmers will do that when they get too big they forget about stuff like this because they're wanting quantity not quality and I was raised to do things right or don't do it at all because if you have to go back and fix something every planet it cost three times as much then it did the first time shade is important too here in the south if you cover them with a screen or mesh you can have your potatoes survive try not to put too much nitrogen you want a lot of phosphorus it's all about the roots God bless you my brother and this is your friend Ray from Foley Alabama I can talk all night long about potatoes it would make your ears bleed God bless you and have a great day

Might want to try the green sprouting (aka chitting) process mentioned in this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zKSHrJlus5OJoI4 It worked very well for us.

Which is a good biofumigation crop u can use in tropical conditions?

Anything in the brassica family will work -- those are the plants that contain the glucosinolates that create the biofumigation effect.

I'm not much of a gambler. Should be a good game though. I think TCU probably covers the 13 points that Vegas is giving them, but the Dawgs will be victorious.

@@LazyDogFarm Well I know you are very happy with the outcome of the game, but it was a real snoozer for those of us without a dog in the fight. Didn’t really care who won - I just wanted an entertaining, close game. It was all over after 12 mins of the first quarter 😅

He's got more money in cover crop seed than his profit. Methyl Bromide was banned completely in 2005. I wish there was a sustainable method of growing produce but guys like this make statements without proof or data.
