We Didn't Have to PLANT These! Volunteer POTATO Plants in December

Many volunteer Potato plants came up in the kale. This is where we had potatoes planted in the spring and early summer. We decided to dig a few and we were surprised! We didn't have to plant these and we had several meals from the few we dug and will have several more in the future. Volunteer potato plants are AWESOME!

This is a real gift! Yummy! ♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓

[@brianoconnell3652]

Thank you for all you do. The tatters I planted last year did the same thing. I live in Maine so the ground freezes pretty hard. I was amazed. This is just a thought, is there an area that you could plant tatters and just let them be you think? Kinda like a back up or a reserve seed bank? Just in case something messed up happens?

[@krista6677]

In Canada and I've had volunteer potatoes too! I keep thinking I've got them all but am now resigned to knowing that what ever I rotate into that space there will also be potatoes 🤣

[@susanschneider-baker49]

Finding potatoes is like finding hidden Gold

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

Leave them to grow a bit longer, to ger bigger, at least some of them. Just see what happens...

[@grannygrump7425]

I see a pot of creamed peas with fresh potatoes

[@Keiths1234]

You talk about free no it's not free it's called blessings from heaven And that is real freedom And my wife says those come from God (God plants) And that is a big Amen And thanks for sharing.

[@apiecemaker1163]

Treasure hunting with Wanda and Danny.🥔 🥔 great fun! Love the happiness and excitement in your voices.

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

I can't wait for my wife and i to be able to do this together merry Christmas and happy new years to all of your family and friends

Lol ! You actten like we starving all ready. Wanda your funny! 🥔🥔

[@friend757]

Loved this comment!

[@Mindy56743]

Those potatoes are the perfect size for green beans with bacon and onions. That was how my grandma used to make them that was so good.

[@aprilarmijo6967]

Looks like potatoes love kale for their warmth!

[@bobbycorrigan7969]

Very nice guys, Merry Christmas, my brother and his wife got 980 pound of tatters this year, yummy .

[@victoriajohnson3034]

My grandpa raised me to grow peas on corn stalks. Now i know why. He always grew his tomatoes on top of his potatoes too.

[@rebelteacher2761]

Best baked potatoes I’ve ever had: wrapped them in foil and threw them into the coals in my fireplace. So so good! Merry Christmas!

[@danielleterry180]

Huh this means I can plant kale and potatos together 😁 since I don’t have a lot of room I am definitely doing this for fall winter harvest

[@1972BRJ]

That is so neat! Last year I had something similar to happen in my mustard green patch, I had a cucumber to survive until Thanksgiving, I'm wondering if the vegetation helps protect it from the cold, gives a body some ideas! Beautiful kale too BTW

[@pinetreehill586]

Wanda, I kept waiting and expecting you to fork a potato. I’m glad you didn’t, but it sure would’ve been a hoot. It was fun to watch y’all be excited over an unexpected blessing from the Lord. I also enjoyed the twist of Wanda digging and Danny holding the camera, even though it’s because Danny is injured. Continued prayers for you both during this trial of life.

[@christiebetts4970]

Good morning Shelley

[@pinetreehill586]

@@christiebetts4970 Good morning!!

[@weathermanplus]

Good morning brother! Gift from GOD, nice!

[@harryhatz5137]

Feel your pain Danny. Just had a knee replacement and slow healing. Going stir crazy.Out in the garden is therapy.

[@stormbilly6767]

Good video love seeing the garden still producing. get that leg healed up.. stay safe up there and keep on growing 🤠

[@elainegranzow9755]

Thank the good Lord for (many) small (delicious) gifts I am sure he was smiling as you dug them up! Bon appetite!

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

Volunteers are such a treat! I am so jealous of all that beautiful kale though. I never get tired of kale. Just had some in an omelette and almost out of it. Next time going to plant 4 times as much

[@imadeplorable3732]

I that’s what I love about gardening. Life wants to live. Potatoes want to grow, seeds from discarded tomatoes will come up. The best melons I ever grew cake up volunteer out of my compost. Gardening today is having hope for tomorrow.

[@elizajayne2757]

Ok...how many of us are going out to check our old tater patches today? Me!!!

[@Grayingmantis]

Y'all got me excited this morning! I'm chitting my seed potatoes and growing my sweet potato slips, which will go into containers around March. My first attempt at growing food!

[@beverlymichael5830]

So Wanda thought she did not need muck boots. Looking good and so functional. Nice taters.

[@barrypetejr5655]

Had to laugh.....I can hear the excitement in Danny's voice ...sounds like me when I find unexpected volunteer foods. Awesome guys😊❤️

[@ABamaGardener]

"We didn't have to plant them, That's just God's Gift to us" Amen, Enjoy them taters.

[@kevinbaker6168]

Good Lord provides for us, sometimes he gives us a little surprise. Yep, fresh taters, peas, corn bread and venison chops.

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

🥔🥔🥔 I bet these plants could survive winter in the south, because it doesn't get as cold down there. Even if the leaves freeze, the root system can grow more greens. You could plant them in the fall, and mulch them well, for an early spring crop. 🥔🥔🥔 Same with regular potatoes, just leave the little ones in the ground, as they come right back the next year. Heard that from a farmer.

[@marieanderson6215]

Oh my them are some pretty potatoes y’all will eat good now that kale is just beautiful

[@GinaSiska]

Red, white & blue potatoes 🇺🇸!!! 😁

[@SRAshley100]

What a pleasant little winter blessing. Gonna be some good eating!

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

the cool thing about potatoes is you can leave them in the ground year around if winter is bad just cover them in thick layer of straw and harvest thru out winter as needed. when harvesting take the largest potato put it back in the ground and cover back up. no need for a root cellar that way.. carrots can be done the same way only cut their tops off with inch or so of carrot still attached and stick back in the ground. they grow fingers and those just as good later too. in colder climates deeper the straw to keep them from freezing thats how the old timers did it with their root crops and no place to keep them thru the winter. good find i get potatoes every year from the ones i leave behind buy once and keep growing them.

[@sonjamccart1269]

I have started buying the organic potatoes (I have also planted my own from "seed" potatoes.) To be honest, I have had great success from the planting of my organic store bought potatoes and those are considerably cheaper than the seed potatoes.

[@lmcbride7758]

They will go great with green beans! Yum

[@christiebetts4970]

What a blessing! Thanks for the advice on feeding the animals plants

[@cryssbou7864]

I'm up in Atlantic Canada and there was some that was missed last fall when we dug our potatoes and they grew this year in our squash beds cause that what we planted in that spot this spring. they were nice big potatoes. I was surprised they survived cause it was pretty deep freeze

[@citylotgardening6171]

It doesn't get any better then digging fresh potatoes in December

[@truthistreason1065]

This past summer, volunteering on homestead(NW Az high mtns)we had daily free range cattle coming thru devouring everything in their path. Nuisance is saying it lightly, very smart animals. I caged off, orchard, grapevines, etc...they literally took to destroying fence and eating trees to the point of a stick tree.

[@jeannamaynard5037]

Potatoes, peas, kale - just add some bacon or ham and some cornbread and that's Dinner tonight!

[@ginnypennington1426]

Yes, God’s gift to you! He cares for his own

[@rideordiechickdietoride4557]

That's a BLESSING when you don't have to plant them. I keep mine planted year-round and leave them in the ground. The Kale is their protection.

[@MimsysGarden]

Fun treasure hunt! 💚

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Like getting money from home without writing!

[@PinballPreparedness]

BONUS!!! I love it! I had about 20 volunteers this year and got me some extras too. Nothing huge but like you said, "FRESH TATERS!"

[@boowho8524]

The kale is beautiful thanks for sharing

[@johannaadams4703]

My potatoes did that too. Also the sweet potatoes. Exciting!

[@brianseverance6490]

I seem to miss some potatoes every year and wind up with one's growing on their own.The small ones make great home frys.

[@kathymc234]

I wash them off & throw them in the crock pot with a beef roast.

[@TOMMYBITESHOMESTEAD]

Nothing better than a volunteer

[@truthbeliever24]

Ms. Wanda,; "you act like you starving already". 🤣 too funny!

[@rgb5031]

Just Two Kids on a Christmas Potato Treasure Hunt! LOL.

[@kendo2377]

I hope your knee gets to feeling better soon. Being injured is aggravating. Those little potatoes were a nice treat. I like soft fried taters as a breakfast side or with pintos. If I have purple hulls or cream crowders I like those new potatoes boiled and toped with a cream sauce.

[@annieg822]

We use to cook up a handful each of the little red potatoes , green beans and field peas with a few slices of bacon and a side of corn bread . Good eating.

[@marieanderson6215]

I enjoy watching y’all video I got to watch it again

[@aprilarmijo6967]

What a beautiful blessings!❤️🤗

[@neppieb]

When we get potatoes that small I wash them and put them in a boiler with a stick of butter and steam them on low heat. Salt them and that is some good eaten.

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

Yep never turn animals in your gardens. Yeah deer remember to return also

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

That’s good to know. I had an over abundance of tiny potatoes I left in my beds, curious now to see if anything sprouts.

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

🥔🥔🥔🥔 Mulch it well over the winter, and harvest an abundance late next spring or early summer even. Same with regular potatos as long as the ground doesn't freeze solid.

[@scottwhite4645]

Between the peas and kale the deer have eaten, the deer meat should taste fantastic!

[@ivahihopeful]

I’ve got potatoes out their, too, South Mississippi.

[@rachealgullett1352]

Hope u find the time Danny to try Grounding ( earthing )may help you

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

Today is December 20th and I still have wild Everglades tomatoes producing right over where I planted ginger roots and in another spot where I have French Breakfast radishes! It's such a blessing to just go out and forage/gather and come in to have a wholesome nutritious meal straight from the ground 😋

Open a can of green beans and throw them red ones in there

BEST QUOTE: Baby we go plenty of kale. - Danny

[@susanprice3454]

I love "found" veggies after the big harvest. It's better than hunting eggs. lol

[@GmamaGrowz]

Nice Harvest 🤩 Thanks for sharing!

[@lancelineberry4335]

Danny and Wanda that soil in your garden looks amazing. We here in the Piedmont of NC have red clay soil with sandy type soil in the creek or river bottoms. That red dirt just cakes up on your shoes and it's hard to get off. Beautiful homestead you two have.

[@wheelmanstan]

I haven't tried it yet but I hear gypsum will help soften the clay and lime will unlock the nutrients in red clay.

[@nancytharp8213]

Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝

Good morning Danny and Wanda! I'm glad to see Danny getting around. God bless you both.

[@AAHomeGardening]

Glad to see you up and about

[@ldg2655]

We bought a cleared cow pasture to create our homestead on, so we are planting trees, leaving a few brushy/bramble areas to encourage the deer into our place too. I was watching this video thinking, next year I’ll plant a big plot of kale too, and can cut and feed the cows and chickens. I DID grow purple hulls this year and they did good… the later maturing variety of cow peas I planted got hit bad with insect pressure…

[@necessarychange7779]

Can't complain about this it is truly a blessing..especially with all that is headed our way for the winter and going into a new year we never KNOW what the world has in store for US the people and your blessing has you guys ready for it SO Thank The ALMIGHTY for these bleseings, send UP PRAISES to the Almighty GOD Of Isreal, Remember Joseph Jacob his brothers story in the scriptures, I'm reminded of this from the blessings you and your received with the crops of potatoes that you didn't expect, That story had lots of meaning To It, and protecting crops from famines...👉🏾 Joseph became the overseer of a vast amount of grain that would deliver Egypt and many other people from a future famine. This was the main purpose that God had for Joseph's life. He had absolute control over who would receive any grain that was stored up in Egypt.... This Blessing I'm Believe is for good purpose, God Bless you and your wife at Deep South Homestead...And I'm giving you two A BIG SALUTE 👍🏾💯...All PRAISES BE TO The Most High GOD YAH Of Isreal ONLY! All POWER AND THE GLORY BELONGS TO OUR PROTECTOR OUR SAVIOR... Remember Egypt, Remember Soddom & Gomorrah, Remember NOAH and the Flood...Yes The Almighty YAH was there to get us through it all and destroyed the infections in the world at those times He The Most High had to step in and handle things because we do not wrestle with flesh & blood and knowing this we Gods PEOPLE We need to have our God our CREATOR with us at all times, In Our comings and goings God should be with us, I mean everything that we do we want God Almighty involved and there with us, praying as much as we can...HALLELUYAH Praise Ye YAH..

Another beautiful day

[@simplygardening1936]

Dont you just love the garden surprises! God said you want something fresh? I left you a few to lift your spirits. You got fresh taters for an early Christmas blessing. I got tomatoes one year at Christmas. I said I was just going to let it roll and picked them perfect condition day before Christmas. They were 10 times sweeter than normal and so delicious. God bless you Mr Danny and Mrs. Wanda, prayers for healing and Merry Christmas to you both.

[@died4us590]

I was thinking that maybe the life changing event took place, so that Wanda would know what to do if something happened to you. As I watched, I assumed Wanda knew how to feed the animal's, and had known how to work the tractor. Sometimes the Lord wants us to see the vulnerability of thinking we have tomorrow to learn. When my dad died back in 95, my mom remarried, and the guy was always in the garage, and my mom said that one day you will regret it. Momma said a lot of thing's like I do, knowing thing's before they happen. My stepdad was planning on retireing and doing stuff with her, but boom, dead in 4 day's from cancer, leaving him a wreck, full of guilt. No will, screwed us kid's out of our inheritence, our grandparents antiques, their house, and the one me and my dad and family built in the 80's, plus he had his mother's large property. Mom knew I was disabled, so does he, but says you have to watch out for yourself sometime. Moved some woman in the house 6 month's after momma died, because he couldn't take being there alone at night. I forgave him, but he will have to answer to the Lord. People have a will ready, and do what you want to do now. God bless everyone.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I had tons of volunteers from my mini potatoes. About 5 meals worth. But even now I know I'll have volunteers next year. Always tons of Itty bitty taters fall off. My grandma called this size tater a creamer potato. They will come up in this years onions/garlic lol

[@mountainsidefarm8357]

Your kale is gorgeous!! The deer ate all mine. They just jump the electric fence. 🙄

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

Plants grow right back, as long as the roots are there in the ground. Hang bars of Irish soap up in onion bags, all around the property, deer do not like the smell. They also do not like human hair spread on the ground. So they will go elsewhere. 🦌 🦌 🦌 🦌 🦌

[@RealWorldReport]

Didn't plant potatoes this fall but I have 2 large raised beds just loaded with plants all still green. I'm in south Alabama, I keep waiting for the plants to turn so I can dig.

[@Perseverance4477]

What a blessing! I'm about to harvest my pots and bags of potatoes here in Texas zone 8a for Christmas potatoes too! Only difference is I planted mine! Haha. I have been planting potatoes for Christmas harvest past 2 years and I noticed they do produce really well for a winter harvest. They are smaller and not as many but fresh potatoes in December is amazing and way worth it to me. I already harvested a couple pots and I'm so happy with what God blessed us with so I'm hopeful for the other 18 pots.

[@amandamckillip5025]

I have volunteers but the ground is too hard for me to fork alone. Should I put some water on them to loosen the soil. They came after my okra patch. A beautiful surprise

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Sounds like you need more compost.

[@sherrikarlstedt6442]

The surprise blessings from God. I believe God has a sense of humor. December, seek and yee shall find. Wonderful works every day if we look. Have a blessed Christmas.

[@KenJohnsonUSA]

That is just fantastic! Love your channel!

[@bobfanning6816]

Just like Easter, looking for easter eggs. Great, I enjoyed it. I have had similar results from having had potatoes from potato peelings that were in my garden scraps. Happy New Year to all!

[@jeffs1062]

Squirrels moved my original potato plantings this year and they popped up all over my garden. My 4x4 asparagus bed gave us about 3 messes a couple of weeks ago.

[@mycrookedlittlehomestead8363]
