Love your hard work. Good job guys. You talk about acclimating your vegetables to your farm. I am a plant geneticist, you’re not changing the genetics of the plants you’re only selecting the varieties that are most adapted to your farm. This is exactly the correct procedure to select the varieties that make highest yield. most disease resistant and grow best on your farm. Keep the videos coming. 😁

I'm just an heirloom veg gardener and found exactly what these fine folks found out. I choose for the biggest or most flavorful or even the ones that grow or tolerate the weather best and the plants seem to really get bigger and better for me. My grandpa called it landracing but I've not really heard anyone else calling it that.

@@Emeraldwitch30 I've studied plant genetics also, and am glad gardeners do landrace projects. It can save crops that may not be commercially grown for profit, but are great for homestead growing (flavor & dependability).

I plant potatoes every month here in Florida so I can harvest monthly, and I do save my own potatoes for seed and have for years by keeping them in a wood grate layered in dirt in my laundry room. They seem to acclimate with no problems. The blue potatoes almost have a nutty flavor to me, love them.

Interesting experiment...I love potatoes and I really wanted to buy some fingerling potatoes but they were so expensive and I am a very poor gardener (poor in the sense of I can't grow things well) so I put in a russet potato and Yukon gold which are my favorites. I grow in containers. I don't get a big crop but I do get a few meals worth and at 81, I am OK with that. I hope you get a huge crop for all your efforts. Have a Blessed day.

JudithB Bugs are already bad up here, but I will check my tators for cutworms. I already found a web worm nest on one peach tree and the ticks are awful. I put a wooden toothpick alongside my tomato, squash, and peppers stems when I plant them out. Cutworms need to wrap around the stem to cut but they cant chew the hard toothpick. I thought crows were taking my pea sprouts but I wonder if its cutworms? Toothpicks are cheap!!! LOL

Try some neem oil at the base of every plant! Cut worms hate it! It works for us. I will spray neem on the root zone and wait 5 minutes and they will all surface and try to run. At that point I spray with BT, with a light dusting of diatomaceous earth. The neem oil would probably be fine, I do the other steps out of pure fury....lol. hope that helps! Grow on!
