    Mounding back over the young potato sprouts is how my granny did it in her garden in Idaho. Also, I'm sure you've heard this plenty, but it is good practice to cut your seed potatoes 3-5 days ahead of time to let them form a skin over the cut surfaces. It protects the young plant from bugs and potential diseases, and you will end up with consistently healthier plants.
    hah, I just got to you mentioning the topic

    I was visiting with my cousin one day this Winter and the subject of planting potatoes came up. With a straight face he said, "When planting potatoes 🥔 folks should cover them with paper" "Why's that I asked?" He said, "It's so ya don't get dirt in their eyes!" Seriously you have some good looking soil and your soil moisture is looking good! We are dry here in Mid-Minnesota. We have enough to get things started and I pray each day that rains will be sufficient this growing season! Patience and in God's time it will!!! God bless you and your family.

    Great video this evening, from start to finish. Glad you are able to be playing in the dirt.
    You talked about maybe your two tractors might be different width, have somewhat the same problem. One of my garden tractors has 7 1/2" wide tires and the other has 9 1/2" wide tires. If I have my head in the sand and lay the beds out with the one with the narrower tires, I pay for it all summer long. Two inches over a dozen rows add up.
    When I cut potatoes for planting, the cut part is covered with wood ash and let dry for a couple days. Am sure how ever anyone does it works in the end for them.
    Had to laugh at the end. Had my favorite supper/breakfast to. Mine was hot cakes, egg and sausage. We are blessed to have wives that cook our meals for us, and our favorite dishes.
    Blessings your way. Be waiting for the next playing in the dirt video. I am a month away from that fun!

    Joey that was no myth that farmer told you about covering the potatoes as they start popping up. Years ago, Grandpa would plant his and when they started popping through the ground, he would put the disks on his Cub and run through them and cover them again. Daddy did the same thing and used to say it was better than cultivating them. I think I have done the same thing in years past. I don't know if we made more potatoes but we always had a good crop.

    a home grown Russet is nothing like what you buy in stores. I'm guessing you have grown them before, but if you havent you can easily take a bag of grocery store russet potatoes and send it to seed by keeping it in a well lit area. As with all store bought tubers, you would want to wash it before hand in case anti-sprouting coatings were used.

    • @Jtwes
      @Jtwes  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They just seem bitter to me but you’re probably right about them being better. That seems to be the case with all home grown vegetables.

    Great video! Awesome time of year. We are in Joshua now. I have a niece getting married in my backyard, so I'm not allowed to work any ground until May 4th save a little spot for tomatoes. So all my corn and pumpkins will be late this year. So I will have 5 foot tall serial grain rye growing on all my fields until may 4th.

    Here in central GA we put taters deep in a fer and cover deep. When I started in the seed business the gardners had to plant on Feb 14th, if it was to wet we didn't sell any taters. No one I know here plants on beds, I guess its a regional preference.

    • @Jtwes
      @Jtwes  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you go back and look close by the time I dig the hole for the broccoli or potato I’m level with the tire track. I knocked what bed there was probably down to less than 6 inches above the tire track. I plan on showing some of that in future videos. Thanks for watching. Got to like Georgia that’s were Bill Elliott is from .

  • @bartsexton1652
    @bartsexton1652 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You can take a tire fill with dirt , plant the potatoes. Then when the plant is high enough to be a little over the next tire fill with dirt . And keep doing this as high as you like . When it’s time to harvest remove one tire at a time and each one will be filled with taters .

    • @Jtwes

  • @jvin248
    @jvin248 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    We always cut the potatoes and let them dry a day spread out before planting, it lets them "heal over" to keep out fungus/insects/rot. More important in cold clay areas than sandy.

      One continuously produces while you harvest the other produces and once harvested that’s it. I know tomatoes are this way. First time hearing about taters. From what I was told back in the day my uncle said they used to harvest potatoes leave the plant in the ground and continue harvesting through fall. Only time I ever heard of a reproducing potato plant. One that doesn’t die back during or after first harvest.
