I just came across your channel and the content is amazing. Salt of the earth God fearing hard working folks are very much appreciated and needed today as always.

[@marygibbons2099]

I’ve dug potatoes before but never watched them being planted. I was amazed at the way you threw those cuts at the ground and they landed cut side down and just right every time. I think that’s skill!!!!

[@staticbeans]

Mary Gibbons it’s a skill man! Many people are too dumb to understand that men like him are responsible for all the produce in grocery stores

[@rise54321]

I thought the same thing. Most folks wouldn't have caught that let alone appreciated it. 👏

[@jennyzonjee9686]

Totally agree .... an expert at work. SUCH a delight to watch

[@decoy2636]

Being able to toss them in the furrow with the eyes up is an acquired skill. The first time you do it like that you have to walk back down the row and right about half of them. It still beats bending over to plant each individual slip. He is planting a patch too so you learn faster. Have a great day

[@dirtswimmer]

Watching this in the middle of a life changing event (pandemic) and going out to plant my potatoes here in Tennessee.

Growing in El Salvador , and traveling from the city to my mother's town , I saw endless plowed fields , I envisioned one day I would have my own piece of land to plow . Moved to the US in 1981 , I've live in the country since day one , just love it . I bought 200 acres of land in Nicaragua , I will retire there , enjoy country living . Thank you for your videos . Much love here for you guys .

[@dustinhargrove2129]

I’ve been noticing a lot of our southerner gardeners have been planting root crops in July/ August lately. So many trying to produce as much as possible these days. Have you ever done that? Thoughts?

God bless you and increase your harvest. We will soon be moving to our home. Not a homestead but in a rural area where I will be able to plant and grow our food. Can’t wait to show you all. I will do my best to apply all I’ve learned watching your channel.

"World changing event." In 2020, more prophetic words could not have been said. I am subscribing to your channel Sir.

[@larryreese6146]

Just dug a good crop of potatoes last week and decided to replant July 1 as an experiment. I've done this before with mixed results but you can never have enough potatoes.

[@donniecarter3848]

When I was a child my father always saved and planted his small whole potatoes and they done very well

[@tduncan3573]

Thanks for the tip on the Epsom Salts, I just might incorporate that in mine this year. I saved back small potatoes from last year to try to do the same thing you are, grow my own seed potatoes. My favorite potato on Earth is Nicola and they are not available locally. I've always bought them online, but the price of them online is scary. Here in central OK I have found that the best time for me to plant is mid March. I planted them Feb 21 four years ago and had to cover 10 rows 75' long of potato plants by hand to keep the plants from freezing. Saved the plants but was not a fun job. Thanks again, excellent video...

[@PeaceLoveandPrepping]

Did it work? The Epsom Salt?

[@hluckysing]

Using sulphur powder on cut seed potatoes will eliminate seed rot,HIGH YIELD makes sulphur you can buy from store close by.

Hey Danny do Wanda we are also out here this weekend in NE Texas planting our potatoes I'm praying for a great harvest this year also. We only had about 250 lbs so this year we also are Shooting for 450 to 500 lbs so wish us luck too. God Bless Y'all

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Blessed Farm I hope yall get a good harvest also. Thanks

[@rayowens5145]

Nice video from Danny & Wanda. I live in Scotland and I'll shortly be planting 40 tubers in my small vegetable patch and probably a couple of dozen more in bags and pots. The variety is Charlotte. This variety was developed in Normandy, France back in 1981. We've grown them a few times and they're a lovely waxy kind of potato, very tasty, great all rounders, nice for salads, or along with anything else you like on your plate. If you can get them Stateside, it's worth giving them a try. They are so yummy!

[@tommathews3964]

Looking good guys! That's a mess of spuds! Hope for a bountiful harvest! Mine will be going in soon......put 268 onions in the ground over the weekend, sure wish y'all were here to help!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Tom Mathews Wow thats a lot of onions. You sound like us LOL. Thanks

[@tommathews3964]

I've got two grown kids I share with and others. I don't grow quite as much as y'all but close. We're still eating plenty of last year's bounty, canned and frozen. Had pink eye peas, potatoes and green beans last night, all canned. Everybody always tells me I grow too much, but this time of year they're glad! :)

I’ve just started watching y’all a few weeks ago when I came across your videos. Y’all are totally awesome teachers, I look forward to seeing new videos pop up but I’m still catching up on all of them. I’m from meridian and several other locations in Mississippi, I’m in Florida for the past three years but moving back the 10 th of feb. can’t wait to break up some ground to start planting a garden. Please never stop teaching us I’m in love with y’all already. I’ve always had gardens and had my hands in the dirt but always learn good things from y’all thank you so much for what your doing. I believe if everyone started growing things the world would be a better place 😘❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

We are going to try the ones left from last year too. They have sprouted better than the years before. I want to see how well your are going to do this year. I'm in Texas zone 8 and we have sandy loam too. Interest to see if there is any difference. I am also planting Red Lasoda and some white potatoes.

Gonna add Epsom salt to my Tomatoes 🍅 & The fingerlings I planted back in July, I know it was a big ( IF ) but I'm still Hilling w/ dirt weekly , but wanted to try with prices so high ...Thank you Danny & Wanda, trying to plant things I've never ever planted b4 ..due to prices ....thank u Josette Tharp

[@genegoodwin8925]

It's good to see a couple working together in their garden. My wife and I have gardened since 1981, but just started growing potatoes about five years ago. It makes since for every gardener to grow potatoes if they have the room because people eat potatoes of one sort or another every day. Besides, I don't trust anything you can buy in a grocery store these days, the FDA had failed to keep our food safe. We don't use any pesticides or herbicides in our garden or our kitchen table. We believe in safe food grown by GOD with a little help from us. Thanks for the video.

Just planted up a nice row here in FL. Added in some Epsom like you said. Thanks a lot for help.

Just refreshing my memory. Talking about an LCE, little did you know it would happen the following year 🙄😁💝

[@SimplyBackwoods]

Hello Danny and Wanda. Glad you've shared this. I have some potatoes planted already and notice some yellow leaves. Now I know what I need to do. I had quite a few small potatoes saved to plant. Some shriveled up and looked aweful so only planted the ones that looked good. I definitely will be attempting to save more this year again. There is so much humidity here and wonder if that was the culprit for some that seemed to go bad. How do you store the potatoes you save for planting? The more potatoes the better for food. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings to you both.

Magnesium is NOT a trace mineral, it's a macro mineral. In fact it is the most important mineral in human nutrition. It has the most uses in our body.

[@OkieRob]

I give mine a little sulfur powdering before planting. I just put them in a tub and shake them around to get a coating of the powder. It seems to keep the bugs from chewing them and creating a wound for bacteria to get in. I still get a little rot but not as bad. it's more of a repellent.

I live in the south (AL), I get the cheap dollar store epson salt every other year and after tilling my garden, hand sling it, then till again. Done is this way for many, many years, even when I lived up north. I just can't find a decent sized potato that grows well here other than sweet potatoes. (at least like I was use to like up north)

[@ednasustaita444]

Thank you.. I loved your video. Good information

[@sheba5203]

I realize that this video is from 2018 but have y'all ever tried the Ruth Stout method for planting taters and other root veggies including tomatoes? I've seen her videos and it was basically the no till/easy way of farming without a bunch of hard work. I'm considering doing her method when I get moved to my new place, and know it's gonna take some time to get the planting area ready using hay, grass clippings, veggie scraps (compost), leaves etc.... Nice work y'all.
