My mom told a story of when she as VERY young. She was maybe three or four. She spent a lot of her early years at her grandpa's farm. Both her parents worked. They owned a furniture building business. Anyway, her grandpa had hogs that he let till his potatoes garden space. Months later, it came time to dig the potatoes. She saw her grandpa digging those potatoes out of the 'hogs field' and just started balling her eyes out. When he was able to get her to stop crying enough to be understood, he had a hard time not laughing. He also had some 'splaining to do! Turns out she was upset because he was digging up the hogs eggs! She thought the hogs had been nesting and laying eggs just like the chickens! She didn't think it was fair to steal all their eggs. So, hog eggs or potatoes, they all taste good to me. Thank you Stacy for sharing this info. I always enjoy his visits to your homestead. I learn so much from you. God bless. Take care.

I love potatoes a whole lot and so loved this video!! I worked 16 yrs. as an early childhood educator and so many parents voiced concerned about my serving potatoes to the kiddos. Too often I would hear that potatoes have no nutritional value and I would just smile and tell those negative nellies about the vitamin c and fiber that potatoes provide and encouraged them to look up for themselves just how good potatoes are as opposed to listening to just what someone, who obviously doesn’t care for potatoes, has to say about them. I was also razzed by fellow employees because I would peel and prepare fresh potatoes instead of processed ones. Their words, “Ms Julie likes to do things the hard way.” My reply, “No, just the best way!” Thanks again to you and Terry and God Bless😊

I pulled a Yukon early to put a cucumber in behind it.. it yielded 4 pounds .. from a 1/4 of a pound of potatoes... the mother was still firm, and it had about 5 wee potatoes still attached so I popped it back in the ground.

your site is so full of information, you and Doug have the best guests Thankyou both and all your guests.

[@terrywasson4806]

Stacy, after watching your video about container gardening, I'm having a blast raising two varieties of potatoes in four huge plastic totes. Loved this video for more ideas!

Hello there👋👋how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good evening?God bless you!💕

'Bubble & Squeak' is the leftover cooked veggies from the weekend roast dinner.The dish dates back to the 1800's ..England. Fryed up till golden brown & seved with a runny fried egg. A regular for me growing up. Delicious! Thankyou for your interesting & informative uploads. 💚 from Australia

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

Wow! Both maternal and paternal grandparents were Canadian potato growers. They only grew two varieties! I bet they never knew about all these varieties. Thank you for this cool information.

[@diannecass880]

Fantastic display and production testing video. Thanks for sharing,💚

[@heavenboundhomestead126]

The purple potatoes is so much fun. I didn't know there was so many varieties. Blessings to you all

I love potatoes.....reminds me of my dad. .he grew potatoes...would dig them up....me as young as 3....going behind him picking up the little ones and putting in my outstretched shirt.. .

[@thesmiths629]

I'd like to do a comparison on storability of multiple varieties. This has me excited about planting potatoes again next winter. 😋

[@gingerkelly7257]

Great idea!

[@cluckieschickens]

I tried 3 one year, the kennabec lasted longest, followed by the russet, then the Pontiac red of course which only lasted till about November Dec. This year I'm trying 4 types... Well see...

[@flatlander6442]

I'm in Central California where the growing season is long and the weather warm. I don't have a basement (or root cellar). We keep our house around 68mfegrees (winter) -- 78 degrees (summer). Does anyone have experience with and suggestions for storing in warmer temps?

[@justpatty7328]

@@flatlander6442 Perhaps canning them, if they start to get soft or sprout. Another method worth giving a shot is to bury a metal garbage can to create a root cellar effect. It would definitely need to be in a covered and shaded area there. Worth giving it a try. Or in your zone you grow them in the winter months, perhaps keep them stored in the ground and use as needed. I'm in colder zone, so I'm throwing out ideas. Best wishes! God bless!

[@jenagarcia1728]

@@justpatty7328 great idea with the trash can!!!!!

Yes! Bubble and squeak is something my grandma would make and I love it!

[@jubr1970]

Stacey, thank you for this video. It brought back so many memories of my grandpa who lived through the Great Depression as a kid and his family were potato farmers. That is how they survived it. When I was a girl, one night he came to dinner, and he named 100 different ways to make potatoes and how they got through those times. We were eating my mom's pot roast made with vegetables from our garden and the meat came from a dairy farmer friend of theirs we would go visit. My parents would bring home half a cow and stick it in our huge chest freezer in the garage. Childhood was hard work but loved it all the same and getting back to my roots with growing these days. I just wish grandpa were still around to ask farming questions. Glad I have Doug and Stacey!!

[@estherfilip3275]

Thank you so much y’all!!!! ❤️❤️

[@brendaphillips9570]

Thank you for the review of so many varieties. Our potatoes usually do very well and I love that they last all winter. Poor Terry was sweating so bad, bless his heart; he was soaked by videos end. Always remember the three P’s. Pray-Prep-Plan. Much love y’all 💗✝️💗

[@laurablanner4293]

This video reminded me of my dad. He would plant potatoes every year. He always put a bucket over where they were so he knew where to dig them up. I remember he did red and baking. We always had them year after year along with so many other things he planted.

[@theresadowns3260]

That’s awesome this is my second year growing potatoes I’m thinking about trying them in the ground next year because all I’ve done so far is in pots but for one person I’ve got quite a few

[@LibbyOnTheLabel.]

One of my favorite videos. I love seeing all the different varieties and learning about them.

[@BreathingLiife]

Remind me never to get stranded on a deserted island with Terry. I’m just listening to him talk about “look at that flesh! So smooth. The two eyes right there…” and picturing him staring at my skin after having not eaten for days… 🤭😂😂 So thankful for this video as I was JUST wondering how to plant potatoes so the ones I have don’t go bad for nothing! Perfect timing! 💖

[@JesiDavisBuildingaSimplerLife]

Just ordered 8different types from this farm! Can’t wait!!

[@lindacoker6971]

I have planted this year and can't wait to see what happens. So much fun learning new ways to grow. Thank you so much!

[@CatDaddyMan]

Thanks for doing the review and hope this helps those trying to decide what to plant.

[@saddleridge4364]

thank you!

[@marjoriedanley6131]

Thank you for listing them for us. I don’t know a lot about growing potatoes. Can you tell me which one is a good baked and which ones are good for boiling?

[@cw5118]

Thank You! I was making a list but knew someone else would and share. 😁

[@Peachlady222]

Thank you for the list.

[@denisemusicnut]

Thank you for doing this! I missed the yield on the Yukon Gold, and was hoping someone would put it in the comments!

[@karenbock2355]

I love potatoes! Thanks for showing me how to grow them.

[@deborahruth5072]

I was at the store yesterday and I am still in sticker shock. I am growing but nowhere as much as last year. I had potatoes planted and there should have been about 180 lbs but the gophers and the ground squirrels got at before I did and I was only able to harvest about 25 lbs. Half and half of yellows and reds. I also have some planted in bags but they are not quite ready to be harvested.

[@marsfran55]

When I was a kid we had potatoes ALL the time! My mom would cut me up a couple of slices of potatoes and while she prepped the rest for supper, I would spread ketchup on the raw potato and sprinkle onion powder over the top. Crazy sounding but I LOVED it!

[@deborapettigrew1258]

Here in South Florida we can grow them starting in September to January - so I will be working in the garden getting them in the ground or in the raised bed totes - can't wait to try it this year - I have grown sweet potatoes by never any other kind of potato so you know for sure I have to give it a go...thanks so much for sharing all the different kinds - great video

[@juliaA_1985]

I’m in S FL too 😊 What varieties of potatoes are you planning to try? I grew some honey gold in early spring that did really well. I just used the ones I had from the grocery store that had sprouted. I’m trying to grow purple sweet potatoes too (Freda Stokes variety) but I just get lots of leaves and no potatoes. I’ll have to figure out why because they are my absolute favorite!

[@deborapettigrew1258]

I am in the Miami area - going to try some Yukon Gold that are seed potatoes and maybe some Pontiac Red from the store - super hot out there in September so I might wait until October to plant them out

[@julierocco76]

I'm in East Central Florida and have never had luck growing white potatoes. I'm going to try what he said in the video and see what happens. Sweet potatoes grow easy.

[@clancarney2541]

This was SO FUN! It is almost like watching the home shopping network for homesteaders

[@tracye1866]

Heck yah! Potatoes are king in my garden . I currently have 5 different varieties growing and now I want to add more! I'm also excited to have gotten my hands on some elderberry cuttings, so I'm looking forward to THAT addition to my arsenal!

[@karenbarrows6127]

Well I tracked down some elderberries and followed his instruction to plant. I sunk 5!! Now I'm off to find potatoes. You two have so much fun together. I love when he visits.

[@elizabethrose8510]

Im still looking for elderberrie plants

[@jessicaj8148]

I just harvested some org sic Yukon gold potatoes that came from ones that I got from Whole Foods and they grew eyes. I wish I had planted more but it was my first time. Going to eat the rest today with meatloaf. They are the best I’ve had!!!

We planted potatoes this year they are looking really good and should be ready soon.

[@johannefeldman1840]

Love growing potatoes, Norland is one of my favorites 1 lbs yields 10 lbs so I pretty happy with that (wish I could put my hands on those purple ones). Tried Yukon gold this year, haven't harvested them yet but will later this week after I do hand digging in there to see how big/small they are. EDIT: Just harvested my Yukon gold : 25 lbs worth, little less than the Norland, but pretty darn good.

[@louisewesson603]

Was the Yukon 1 lb of seed for 25 lb return?

[@kennethperry539]

I love potatoes and love to watch them grow in the garden, I always mound mine up too because not only do they grow better it makes them a lot easier to dig up at the end of the year , thanks for the videos I love garden talk and canning tips

[@dawnburton5961]

I'm so glad you had him back! I watched a previous video a couple months ago about the elderberries and forgot the website to get some to start! Those purple potatoes are so gorgeous! I hope to try those next spring!

[@cstone6267]

I planted some grocery store red potatoes that had sprouted one year and they did great!
