- Harvesting early potatoes for maximum flavor.
Harvesting a few early potatoes. Incredible flavor from new potatoes. Satisfying and delicious.
Growing chickens, pigs, and a garden for self sufficient living.
I am not a country farm kind of guy, but i enjoy watching the work you do at your homestead
I’m with you on those new potatoes mmmm! Nothing like eating from a garden
Thanks for sharing your videos and God Bless
New potatoes, butter, and salt. Yum, yum!
I enjoy your down to earth approach with the garden and lifestyle.
Chickens are growing well along with the pigs. The garden so far is really looking good. Our storms here have prevented us from doing as much as we could for now but its getting much better. The Lord knows how much and when we need rain. God Bless.
I have the same planter and I taped off every other whole and that helped with my spacing.
Good video Wes! Plenty coming on to eat in the future. Stay safe & well.
nice garden
Nice to have a garden. Looks like you can increase production by planting closer together, if you have the water and fertilizer to support the growth. The chicken tractor is a clever idea. The piggies will make a fertile spot, herbs ?
I will say I am jealous you already have that much yield thats incredible! We here in NH (zone 5B) are right around the corner for planting. Still in the 40's overnight! Doing corn, onion, carrots, and tomatoes and peppers which will be transplants from the local green house!
I remember my grandpa raising his hogs. There eas a "slop" bucket by the gate. He'd mix that with dry feed and put it in their trough. Grandpa was blind, so he had been knockec down a few times by the hogs. He kept his cane handy for a dissuader. He was successful in that they ended up in the smokehouse.
We have a similar setup with the chicken tractor with wire in the front and a blocked out back for wind protection. We found if you move them with the wire in front they walk with you better than trying to move it with the blocked out side.
My ex-wife’s parents in Sweden grow their own potatoes…and boy are the “early” potatoes the best. I know of what you speak!
You got that right!! The best eating!!
My grandfather alway bought wheat shorts mix the nigh before and it would sour. Everting that didn’t go to the table went to the pigs. They loved that stuff. I’m sure rice bran would work too
Wes try *Bordeaux Mixture* for blight, it's a mixture of Copper Sulphate & Lime, it works for Tomatoes & Potatoes. Also Freshly boiled New Potatoes with fried Bacon & blanched cabbage that has been fried in the bacon grease is what I look forward to every year here in Ireland!!!
We're growing potatoes, tomatoes & bell peppers this year, & I'm most excited about the potatoes 💃🙏❤️ Your little boy stomping that weed - 👍💞 God bless you and your family!
Thanks Dianne, always appreciate your comments!
Hi Wes spring is looking pretty good down your way and that's a nice start on your garden. Your animals seem to be growing good sure love fresh farm eggs and butchering your own meat brings back great memories of growing up on our home farm. Wish I was able to get out and raise my own animals for food I have the space. Being disabled though really puts a block in doing alot of things one use to love. We just went through a cold spell here and had a couple days of snow.
Great to see you here! Was just wondering the other day how you were doing, haven't seen you here in a while.
@@falllineridge still watch all your videos with my youngest son fixing to graduate just not been doing as much on comments. Between all the senior year things and preping for college in fall been a busy spring. He is headed for his prom tomorrow night.
God bless you bro. This is real life🙂😇

Thats a nice garden! I had 2 rows one year and ate one before they were ready.
I'm having to exercise self control before they're gone.
I like your videos. What if you suspended tie wrap cable ends off that back wall, so that when you pulled, the plastic tips would poke the chickens and maybe cause them to jump forward?
we should start marketing clover to all free range chicken hobby farmers. thanks for the shout out!
Everybody loves it! Deer, chickens, and even the neighbor's cows from time to time.
I plant beans with the corn. Also, I've had the same problem with the Earthway planter and won't be using it again.
Bean trellis. Cut a cattle panel in half. Put an 8 foot metal stake at each end and tie the panels to the stakes with heavy plastic zip ties.. Mount one panel above the other. 7 feet tall. Easy peasy.
I use cattle panels for my beans drive a couple stobs in the ground bend it over into an arch the beans that are up high hang down easy to pick. My wife really likes it it’s easier to find them.
You need to try putting dumplings in your new potatoes. That is one of my favorite foods from long ago. My Mom always had new potatoes and dumplings.
Piece of pvc a few inches from the back will help keep your chickens from getting trapped up while you move your pen.
in the old days we staked our beans with cane reeds we cut by the river Once they dry they are very light to work with and will last for several years, making neat tee-pees for the bean runners
have you looked at putting wheels on it. I have looked at a few tractors because we have been talking about raising meat chickens. it will lift it up a little when you move it but might make it easier moving and keep from losing anymore
Yes, attempted it once, but it didn't work out. I haven't gotten serious about it yet.
That potato plant looked like it could be re-planted. I wonder would it grow if you stuck it back in the soil? Great video Wes thumbs up.
Should have tried it.
When did you plant your potatoes ?
That was awesome when your little man checked first if the sprout was food, and when you told him it was a weed, he stomped it!
Pigs sayin...."HEY BRO...HOW BOUT SOME 🍩 DONUTS ? "
🤣😂😋👍
Beware, I once tried to run layers and broilers together. Eventually, the layers started pecking and eating the leg quarters of the broilers. Keep an eye out for this
Them tatters looking good! They’re is no bad way to fix taters. Thanks
Chicks are looking good. Mama always wanted to fry chickens between 6 and 10 weeks old--yum so tender! Spot is smarter than Applewood; he's not going to make friends with the guy whose going to eat him!
Didn't think of that!
Curious why you went with pole beans as opposed to Bush beans?
you might enjoy the farm show mag-
Wes, when did you plant the potatoes? Also you got me on the Epson Salt. Interesting reading up on that.
I planted them January 30. That's in the window of planting for my area, but I think I'll be waiting until mid February next year.
Nice
the only thing that I found works for tomato blight is not have tomatoes for two seasons. if there is blight within 1/4 mile, you'll likely get hit. best defense is plant varieties that are resistant and pray a lot.
MM77 👍🏼👍🏼 Approved
❤️ Piggies
I'd live to set down to a meal at your house. ❤
One the best things you can giv a hog is Coal ifyou can get some bust it up in small pieces and give them a handful about once a week
Charcoal especially charred branches/small logs.
Have you considered the 3 sisters method?
Gets harder the more you pet and name Applewood there. Maybe he can make a few appearances over the next couple years.
The other one will taste good.
WAIT I missed it... what KIND of potatoes are they?
creamed new peas and baby 'taters. I love 'em, but I have to be careful. Last time I overindulged ... almost as bad as being on a Z-pack or after a visit to tacobell.
You've got to face it that chickens aren't the brightest creatures on God's green earth.
Another Farmer he starts the chicken feed a or two before with water and maybe vinegar and allows it to ferments a little and he says the chickens grow bigger.......... Replant the potato plant it might produce again it is early!!!
I believe the tendency to run to the front is why Salatin puts his dolly in the back then pulls from the front. Just an observation.
Very best way to keep bugs off plants none toxic is chop up hot peppers then boil it for an hour then sift it and use it to spray the plants daily ! But it will burn children and pets but it will also keep most animals out !!!
Try pulling it from the other direction
👍👍
I've never raised chickens. Why do you need to move them?
when you filmed that?
A few days ago.
Looks like the "runt" is catching up in size with his cohort.
He's getting there.
Al Lumnah from Lumnah Acres on TH-cam has a good setup. He rigged his up so he can pull the chicken tractor and he can see them all as he pulls it.
I hope this helps. God bless you guys in Jesus name ❤....
just wait til you add bacon & eggs to those potatoes, hehehe.
I like them little new taters in my fresh picked green beans ! Skin on !
Wes, its probably better for that pig to stay skittish. Getting emotionally attached to animals that you plan to slaughter for personal consumption is a extremely hard to do. It will get easier with time, but I know a couple people that ended up with pet pigs cause they couldn’t do it
Put that potato back in the ground, it will grow.
I smell bacon and eggs!
