The ONLY RED POTATO we'll ever grow again!

It's a busy day in the garden with cucumbers that need trellising, sweet potatoes that need hilling, potatoes that need digging, blackberries that need picking, and some monster heirloom tomatoes that need harvesting. Join us for an evening in the garden!

So, what do ya say, we spend a little time in the garden? Yes! I love this video style. It is especially helpful to know the varieties you planted, the fertilizers, schedules for applying them, and watering (drip or not). Oh, AND fertilizer math! Back in your Hoss days, you did a segment that showed how to figure the corn fertilizer and scheduled. (“Hiney-high, we lay it by”) I made notes! It has been very helpful. Thank you for everything!

My fertilizer regimes on this channel might be a little different than what I recommended over there, but still some of the same principles apply.

Kellogg’s Breakfast tomatoes. Grew them last year and loved them. They weren’t the most prolific but for size and taste they couldn’t be beat. Average weight was over a pound each. And the taste?… ohhhh… so good! Perfect sandwich, salad , with cottage cheese , or whatever grabs ya. Let those suckers grow to a gorgeous yellow. You’ll love ‘em! Love both the blog type videos and straight forward talks. A bit of both works great for us!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yes, the Kellogg's has been our favorite so far this year!

[@crystals14acregarden61]

I like what you are doing. I also like the videos where y'all show how you preserve your harvests. I figure if I'm not going to grow all the same old stuff I can get in the store, why just do all the same old things with my harvest. I can get bored with the same stuff easily. Seeing how other people cook and/or preserve can give me new ideas. I have several "experiments " this year. One is Chayote squash. If anyone here has any recipes, feel free to message me

[@shadyacrefarm1005]

Love this type of video Travis. It would be nice if you could do some type of taste test with your tomatoes. I know previously you weren’t a big proponent of growing heirlooms. I think you comparing those tomatoes would make a great show. Have a great day, Rob

[@LazyDogFarm]

This year the heirlooms have done pretty well. Probably because of the dry weather -- we can control things much easier and tomatoes tend to like that.

[@damainkerek810]

I’m enjoying the variety of videos. Topically specific is fine as well, but these general garden “tours” are great. Albeit, they make me somewhat envious. That soil is incredible.

I check YT for gardening info to make me a better gardener. But seeing experienced gardeners go through the routine can also be useful and help me see I'm doing the same thing and not screwing something up. Or see there's room to make something work. My Norland Red will probly come out next week now I know a good yield to shoot for. The sweet potatoes need hilling soon. My first time with them also. Better seeing someone else do it first. I try to return useful info when I can or just comment to help the channel. Nothing wrong with fried _red_ tomatoes from the store in winter either. Maybe there's a fat Roma.

Red chieftain is the bench mark for production. They have come out with a new red potato called red Maria. If red Chieftain is 100% on the productivity scale Red Maria is 112 % consistently in a ten year study. Also a farm in Maine was able to get a blight resistant red in from England call Sarpo Mira. Watching some English KZbin videos it is super productive. The allotment diary I believe was getting 15 pounds of potatoes for a ten gallon pot. Your channel is awesome.

I'm in zone 8b.So I am very interested in what you grow and what does well. I usually stick with Hybrid's since my success seems higher than with air looms tomatoes. I enjoy your show and used many of the Hoss tool your seeds. Thanks Travis.

[@LazyDogFarm]

We usually grow mostly hybrid tomatoes as well. This year has been decent for heirlooms because it's been so dry and we've been able to keep the leaf moisture to a minimum.

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

The prime in prime ark blackberries stands for primacane meaning that have a small early harvest and then a heavier late harvest. When you prune them you’re supposed to prune second year canes after they die so you get the full harvest. Most commercial operations use floricane varieties which fruit on new canes once and die afterward. I have the Prime Ark 45 variety but it has wicked thorns.

[@LazyDogFarm]

I definitely need to do some more research on the primacane vs. floricane thing. We've just been pruning to keep them bushy so we don't have to trellis them.

[@markware7748]

Very respectable harvest on those tubers. I don't believe I've ever met a potato variety I didn't enjoy eating, one way or another. This is a good video format that you and Brooklyn are putting out. There's any number of garden programs on KZbin, but I find most of them to be just annoying exercises in self admiration. You've earned your credibility. I still use the Hoss channel for the library and as a vendor but I'll always miss the way you and your Dad used to play off each other. Hoping each of you can find your way back into a groove.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Mark. Brooklyn and I are in a much better place since we started doing our own thing. Life is good.

Hey Travis, I'm going to try a Fall crop of potatoes this year in 8A. I'd love to see you try a few and compare how they do in the Fall with the Spring. It'll definitely be cooler to dig 'em if they make.

Can you do something to combat drought conditions and water restrictions in the garden?

Water restrictions make it tough. Covering the soil with some type of mulch is one way to preserve moisture though. You can also plant really thick so that the foliage canopy helps shade the soil.

The lack of rain is the primary reason we've had such a good potato harvest this year. In a rainy spring/early summer, it can be tough.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Good point! Usually a walk-around in the garden warrants multiple discussions.

[@elissapoh7782]

Dang - I’m used to our wild blackberries up here that just get enormous - patches at the end of our city street are probably 8 feet high and 50 feet wide… but they all have thorns. You can cut those back to nothing every year - mow them down to nothing and they come back stronger than ever. Those bushes are shockingly small but I guess that’s a good thing when it’s a cultivated variety… and maybe your lack of rain? We’re on the rainy wet coast here.

[@LazyDogFarm]

The wild ones around here produce small berries, although they are sweeter than the thornless ones. As far as my patch, I heavily prune it throughout the year so that I don't have to trellis it. This variety seems to perform well with heavy pruning and creating a more bush habit.

[@elissapoh7782]

@@LazyDogFarm we have 2 distinct varieties of wild ones here - one has smaller berries and more delicate looking leaves and the other (more dominant) has broad leaves and big sweet berries (the ones in full sun are sweeter). The domestic ones taste bland in comparison. Picking those wild ones is inconvenient and injuries from thorns abound, but it’s worth the taste! It’s interesting the differences that location can make - I always thought blackberries were as hardy everywhere but I guess some locations more than others. We get a lot of water in the spring that makes the plants huge and produce a lot of berries and then just enough sunny days in July to make them sweet.

Thanks for another great video Travis. We are back and forth between Viking and Red Norland. We like the Vikings cleaner skin, shallow eyes and firm white flesh. However, I find they have a slight sweet taste. The Red Norland are not quite as firm have a little deeper eye and a more blemished looking skin. However I do prefer their taste to the Viking. We also grow Yukon Gold and fingerlings just for variety. We have given up on the Russet as they just don't keep as well. We have a 3 family shared garden and grow around 1000 lbs. a year that we keep in a root cellar. Our potatoes will last until the new crop is ready around mid July up here in zone 3.

[@shawnhammond1614]

I really enjoyed those Viking probably the healthiest out of all mine

[@LazyDogFarm]

Good to hear they did well for you.

[@lindal5303]

I like following you around the garden, lol. I enjoy seeing the plants/veggies, how they've grown and what you're planting next. The recipes are nice too. 👍

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Linda!

I enjoy the variety of styles... can go with any of them. Honestly I'm too tired to have an opinion. :) Just finished processing 56 more ears of corn... so far we are around 300 and unfortunately I don't think we are 1/2 way... I'm thinking after tomorrow (we will have 50 pints in the freezer) I'm gonna just pull the rest of it, and throw it in the back of the truck and visit a few neighbors.

[@LazyDogFarm]

That's a heap of corn! Hope you were able to get some rest.

[@rodericklippert1332]

Love all your videos. You do a great job in explaining everything. This style is a nice change from the straight informational ones. Definitely would like to see more

[@LazyDogFarm]

We'll be here three times a week! Thanks for watching!

[@KrazyKajun602]

What is your recommendation on storage for long term? onion sacks, boxes, milk crates, etc. Is it better to have something with holes for air to circulate?

[@LazyDogFarm]

We just put them underneath our pole barn on a hardware cloth rack. Covering them with a cheap black plastic tablecloth helps to keep them from getting any sun and getting any moisture on misty days. Air circulation is very important. Keep them dry and cool.

Your videos have been great!

Thanks Michelle!

[@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping]

Yes it's Tater Time ❤️ Are you by any chance going to be carrying seed potatoes for the Vikings?

[@LazyDogFarm]

I won't be carrying any seed or seed potatoes.

[@jn-xs9ug]

Really like this type of vid. Especially like how you add in your fertilizer method with each variety. Can you also go over your pest control regimen with each as well? You and your camera Lady rock!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Sure! I need add that in the mix.

[@dustinpotter8312]

The problem with multi topic video vs specific topic videos is historic re-referencing. Specific topics are listed as the topic and easier for search engine locating. BUT... I like the "multi" topic approach as it is more informational in a general sense than a hard nose specific expose'. Today I learned about breakfast tomatoes, Viking potatoes, Arkansas blackberries but I also learned you need a tool belt with some scissors to harvest your tomatoes. (lol).

[@LazyDogFarm]

Glad you enjoyed the "bouncing around."

[@ronniepate4315]

Travis I have enjoyed all your video's , but watching those tomatoes , berries and those vikings , was very nice . I've never seen any red taters grown to that size . Getting your family in the shows is always a plus .

[@LazyDogFarm]

This is probably the best potato year we've ever had here at this homestead. Dry weather makes for great potato harvests.

[@mj58jean]

I enjoyed this video.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it Melanie!

[@mariebarnes416]

I really enjoy going with you through the garden.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Glad you enjoy it Marie! Thanks for watching!

[@barrydarnell9748]

Hearing protection when driving those posts my friend. Don’t regret it like me.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Noted.

[@lelandshanks4759]

Thats the one we couldn't get in Feb. Dang it.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Maybe you'll be able to find some next year.

[@mikemccleery7253]

These are great videos

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Mike!

[@jonlewis6630]

I really like this type of video, and I really like teaching videos too. Keep them coming.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Jon! Will do!

[@rebellionpointfarms6140]

Those vikings produce. ! Mine have purple streaks on the skin. I didnt think anything could out do my red norlands. Between the 2 red types i have PLENTY of red taters. Pretty work.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yeah I can see some faint purple streaks on the skin as well. Great to hear of your big harvest.

[@SonderSurreal]

I love this style of video *
