I started watching your channel a couple weeks ago. I'm a retired homesteader. And I like hearing young people talk about homesteading. I have really enjoyed it.

I first started watching your channel when I saw your massive tomato seed variety and love for tomatoes! Your channel is like balm for the gardener spirit. I really hope you never stop making videos about what you're passionate about because I want to be along for the ride!

[@mistygeller3193]

I love it!! You are my kind of gal! I am just, ohhh, over the last year or so, learning about what to grow in my zone and how to do it. I’ve always been obsessed with growing flowers but have had no luck in growing produce. But it’s all so gol darn fun!! So geek out all you want because I will gladly listen and I agree that the joy and happiness of doing anything you love is absolutely contagious 🥰❤️❤️ Thank you so very much for sharing a bit of your sunshiny activities with us!!

[@Joylegacy5]

❤❤❤ thanks for sharing your passions with us, Kim!! I look forward to your videos every time I see them pop up! It’s because of people/homesteaders like you that I’m pursuing growing more and more food for my big family (I have 5 kiddos!)! And FLOWERS!! lol my grandmother passed on her flower passions with me, but seeing your zinnias, and dahlia fields!!!! Now I have to have a dahlia field! Lol which my husband is so excited for! 🤣🤪 (not really, can you sense the sarcasm!?He says at least once a week, “GET OFF KZbin WOMAN!!” 😂)

[@curtiswolf313]

[@jesusrobles6862]

Kim you freaking willy nilly ROCK 🫵🏽🪨 An abundance of blessings to you your hubby and the whole family 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@999applegirl999]

I am so encouraged. I started slips and just kept starting and starting them and never got them in the ground. I have a few hardened off but never thought they would grow. I'm going to plant them this weekend. Yay. Houseplant potatoes is a great idea too! Love your interlude of this little light of mine.

[@erikvaldur3334]

Try some German Butterball taters next season if you can find em. They're thin skined, so sweet ya don't need to butter them. Perfect for any cut potato dish you can dream up. I'm in N Pennsylvania and typically start my taters in early March. Months before other people round here start but they're very hearty . A night or two of frost usually has little impact . More nights, days below freezing and I just cover em with leaves. Straw, etc.. and they're fine. Give them a try. You might really like them a lot. First year I tried them they instantly became my favorite.

[@jaynewarriner7214]

Yep! gotta get my potatoes in the ground! I will do it today!😊

[@martyhenschel7145]

You always inspire me to "do better " and being in my 60's, that doesn't always come easy. Thank you.

[@greg4876]

You're adorable and i enjoy your videos alot and always learn something....

[@dew6874]

Just gave you a subscription! Hope you get your mixer thing soon! My Dad was a potato gardener. Your potato bed and husband's pow range tipped the scales! Thanks to your family for the great content you share!!!!

[@jesusrobles6862]

Oh and I absolutely freaking LOVE your KZbin channel 😍😇😍 THANK YOU FOR BEING A BOSS AND SHARING 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@Mike-yl6bs]

Have you ever tried round bale potatoes?? You take your seed potatoes and set on top of the ground and then take a round bale of hay and unroll on top of them then they just grow up through the hay and your ground is mulched when you harvest their right under the hay basically no-till potatoes

[@kaulic]

You are living my dream! ❤

[@jamesvarner250]

I love your videos!!! You are so pure without being trashy to get likes. You work your butt off

[@KaylaGraystitches]

Livin the dream Kim! It’s awesome you guys have a shooting range there too. My hubs and I would love that 😅

[@garymcmullin2292]

it will be interesting to see how this late planted potato crop turns out. Your seed pieces are highly stressed, dehydrated and loss of apical dormancy is evident, so the expectation I have is that you will see weak plants, exhibiting small size, tuber set would be high in number owing to the stress of old seed and also the hot weather associated with a late planting. Likely as not you will end up with low yields of very small tubers that do not want to store well either, ending up sprouting early and shriveling from dehydration. The storage of potatoes is a valuable tool, if you have a root cellar and bare ground in it then store the potatoes on dirt or even in dirt, covered up. Hopefully the cellar is coolish and that with the exclusion of sunlight will greatly extend the post harvest quality of the spuds. In general, sprouting is a function of storage temperature and stress in the tubers. The optimum conditions are to harvest when the potato vines achieve full senescence, from a nicely moist soil environment so the tubers are turgid and go right to storage in temperatures down around 40 degrees F. Added humidity during storage prolongs the quality, it can come from humidifiers or as I said just bury the spuds loosely in moist soil of the cellar floor. I myself never even considered a late crop because it just did not seem feasible. I grew Yukons, Reds and Russet type potatoes, planted in April here in the Northwest, left them in the ground full season, until time to store in early October. That is when the temperatures cool well. I used conventional potato culture methods, plant deep and then build up even higher hills down the row. That keeps the tuber crop in deeper soil to resist the late summer heat until fall. I also keep on hand a large leaf and vegetative debris pile, used some of it as a 3-4 inch mulch covering over the matured potato crop while it was still in the ground. That covering blocks the sun, helping to moderate soil temperatures. A light sprinkle irrigation once in a while kept the soil moisture right, did that up to October harvest.

About tomatoes 🎉

[@deepbludude4697]

Yesterday i was coming back from helping my neighbor, my GF had just pulled up I looked down where I parked my bike, under a huge old Juniper and there was a arrowhead freshly uncovered from our recent rains..

[@LastLivingOldCowboy]

Try blue hubbard squash. It is a great late season crop.

I use to sit with my cousin in her garden when I lived in Wisconsin with her and we would bury our naked feet in the thick and cold black dirt while weeding and just talking about life. I miss those days and anytime you can get your hands dirty in the earth, enjoy it. 🤍
