Old seeds are never bad. Their germination is just slower but will always grow. Patience. And patience is hard for me in my garden. Lol. Love your garden.

I didn't get my potatoes planted out this year 😞 I got busy planting so many other things. 100 lbs of seed potato, WOW!!! I love harvesting potatoes, there's always such a nice surprise. I've never thought about planting something over the potatoes, but it makes so much sense. Great information and video, tfs .

I market garden for a living. When I first started I did the high intensity planting approach thinking it would increase my yield. Having no basis for comparison I did quite well with this approach. The past few years I've been giving plants more space for comparison and what I have found is that plants given more space mature much quicker. I'd say the yields to both approach are about the same, honestly, with tighter spacing probably giving slightly more yield, but taking significantly more time. Long story short, I give plants the recommended spacing now. What I do ignore is the between row spacing that is recommended. You can throw that out the window. Just follow the in row spacing and you will have less insect pressure and less days to maturity.

@raineboyd6917 Thank you for your charming insight into growing potatoes. I am in the other corner of the U.S. in Washington on the wet side. My 3rd year growing spuds and I have found very little information about how they actually grow. Do you know if growing them in a pot (10 - 15 gallons) will stunt the size of the individual potato? My husband doesn't want to take up so much of our raised bed area for the potatoes. Plus, it is much easier to harvest by dumping out a pot. What are your thought? Thanks so much.

Hello, I’m in zone 9a (California) and I do companion planting. I have 12 raised beds and am planting all warm season crops now. I wish I could plant broccoli and cauliflower right now. Too warm here, I can’t even keep my lettuce and cilantro from bolting. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks👩🏽🌾
@jenmv348317 күн бұрын
I accidentallt really starred brocoli too early, my plants are 3-4 inches tall. Should I remove them or just see what happens? Not much growth, I could replace with starwberries. I'm in 10a zone.

I have not personally but I have seen the science on that. It is quite fascinating. I have found, however, that keeping organic matter/ mulch “tea”mixed in the soil works beautifully for me.

I practice a form of this by planting undergrowth vegetables under large plants like tomatoes and peppers. I corner my beds with colassal marigolds and plant basil, lettice, arugala, and shade variety of carrots as an undergrowth. Also pair my strawberry patch under my squash trellis. I try to cycle bush beans through my beds atleast once a year. It will help cut back with nitrogen supplementation

We grow intensively. Been gardening with Hubby for over 30 years and we have never bought or used any store bought fertilizer. The key for us is our homemade compost which each bed gets 3 inches or more every spring. We compost in place all throughout the late fall and winter.. I do make weed tea as well as Comfrey tea to amend the soils during the hotter months. Our beds are loaded with red wiggler worms. I like to shred cardboard and soak it over night, lay it down around the plants and top with grass clippings and rabbit poo and a paper bedding we use.
@raineboyd691729 күн бұрын
Yes!! That is so great! My prayer is to have an active compost bin by the end of the year and I JUST got some comfrey this weekend for that very same reason! Great wisdom, friend, thank you so much.

My #suggestion: only plant your potatoes 3 inches deep. Then, cover your potato bed with 6 to 8 inches of straw, cut grass, hay, and or chopped up leaves. I did not invent this method. See Ruth Stout.

Been planting taters for a while now. Haven't been very successful at it, at least not with sizeable amounts and I think I have been planting them too early for my time zone. But this year I'm doing something different and am kind of looking forward to see if it helps. I'll try to let you know.

Hey Hey, very new to gardening here, I also live in Jamaica where it's always warm or hot most months lol. Thank you for the very useful information on the potatoes. I don't have much space so I'm considering using grow bags to plant some.
@raineboyd69172 ай бұрын
Thanks stopping by! I highly encourage the use of grow bags for potatoes and, actually, grew potatoes in bags in my last garden several times. It was very convenient because of the ease of harvesting. You can apply the same principles that I discussed but keep in mind that the soil may dry out quicker in the grow bags. I usually keep a watering can nearby full of water just in case. Please keep me updated on what you decide. I am excited for you! Happy growing!

@@raineboyd6917 Thank you so much for the advice I definitely will be doing them in the grow bags, I am currently creating some shade for my seedlings that I sowed in trays, I know they need lots of sun but the heat here gets pretty high midday so I'm giving them some protection from that,
