I grew potatoes last year for the first time. I used the Ruth Stout method, growing in the straw. It’s the lazy gardener’s way of growing potatoes and when you harvest them, they come out clean because they grow mostly on top of the soil. I’m looking forward to trying it again this year. I’m an urban homesteader so I try all kinds of growing methods.
@@halfbubbleoffplumb8480 Sweet potatoes grow from slips. They are in the morning glory family. Irish potatoes grow from an actual potato (or piece of a potato, depending on size), not slips.
@@DC-rd6oq thanks. I tried both each time. Sweet potatoes tried rooting in a glass held up with tooth picks, and also half deep in moist soil in a pot, no luck getting slips. Tried white potatoes 2x. Cut, planted eyes up in soil, few green leaves came up, flowers on one, let the top wilt n die off no potatoes. Next time cut, let scab over planted in ground nothing sprouted at all. This time, ordered red seed potatoes. They say 3rd times the charm!
That silly OLD GOAT is hiding behind the hearts over Mamma Hoss's right shoulder. The garden photos from Tom today were so inspiring and lovely. Well done! I'm still dithering over which potatoes I want to grow here in north Texas. I've been making grow pouches of my empty 50-pound feed sacks for years now. Always have good luck with potatoes in those. I'm leaning towards the Red Norland and either Yukon gold or German Butterball. I've never grown the Butterballs but I keep hearing rave reviews about their tastiness. Probably going to add some Kennebec too, since we do love our fried potatoes. Guess I better hurry up and make up my mind before all the seed potatoes are gone!
I see the old goat hiding behind the heart boxes behind Mama Hoss, easy to see when she was talking about fermenting. This is a great video ~ thank You!
You may really enjoy also learning from Jadam, Korean natural farming methods. I live in Orlando Florida and really learned a lot, I am trying to get some ocean water to add to my JLF. There is a farmer named Chris Trump here on TH-cam that is 100% KNF.
Been waiting for this show on potato's a long time. Thanks for adding the container part because that is what I going to do. Boy the old Goat was really hiding well tonight, finely saw him behind the hearts behind Mrs. Hoss.
I am just getting ready to jump into fermenting, so i appreciate the ideas and videos. Old Goat is hiding behind the wood hearts just behind mama hoss. Still struggling with good potatoes harvest here in Florida, so thank you for the info and keep it coming. Thank you
Last year was my first time growing potatoes. I used welded wire fencing to make hoops that were 18" high and 24" diameter. I lined them with weed block fabric. I used a compost blend for soil. I grew red potatoes and had a great harvest. I liked the method because I can stack the hoops for indeterminate potatoes. To harvest, I pull the wire and push the soil over.
Hello from Texas y'all! Beds are ready. Waiting on the potatoes. We've got lots.of plans for spring. We still have carrots in the ground as well as onions and garlic. We see the Old Goat behind the hearts behind Mama Hoss.
The old goat is hiding behind the triple hearts wrapped with burlap behind Mama Hoss’s right shoulder! I love watching Mama Hoss cooking in the kitchen and giving us new recipes:)
Just getting started in gardening. Toms garden looked great! Thank you for sharing the pics. Old goat is behind Mamma Hoss’s head peaking out from behind the 3 red hearts.
Upstate mountains SC your third shelf on right old goat is dressed to kill for Valentine's right of the heart. I love my chow chow. I'm looking forward to the fermentation. Have a great week ❤️🙏
Where I live the ground is so damp I must grow in raised beds and containers. So it’s nice to have farmers like yourselves give us the options and advise.
This is my 3rd time trying to grow potatoes.. struck out the first two times. Order seed potatoes from ya'll this time, just received them as I'm in zone 9.
Thanks for the tips on potatoes. Every one of my beds has had tomatoes. Time to build a new bed for my Yukon Golds since Greg said they are a night shade just as tomatoes are. Old Goat behind Sheila and the red hearts.
Also I have rutabaga and collard's growing also.i forgot to plant my carrots is it OK to but them in now. Love the row by row show .I see the old goat behind mama Hoss by the ❤️.
Hello, I’m doing taters in containers again this year, last 3 years they did great. The old goat is on middle shelf behind the hearts behind momma Hoss.
Better late than never! My one and only bath is finally being renovated, and it's wearing me out! Beautiful seed potatoes, and lots of really good information today! Don't y'all just love Tom Matthews? Between his beautiful garden and his smoke house prowess, I'd love to have him for a neighbor!
W ordered our Yukon Gold from you ..waiting with anticipation. We already got this month the flowers and the Hossinators branded package.. We are SO excited!!
LOL, yall crack me up! Can we agree to disagree....I just love all your information and would not make it through without your wealth of gardening info! I see the old goat over Momma Hoss's shoulder behind the hearts.
I planted the purple potatoes in 5 gallon buckets and we happy with my small harvest. It was my first time growing potatoes. They are beautiful. I also bought a bunch of russets from our local garden center. My question is what is the best way to store them? I put some in gunny sacks and hung them in my dark cool basement and wrapped some individually in newspaper in a cardboard box. They're all sprouting eyes like crazy. The garden center said some ppl can keep them almost until their nest harvest. That's not happening with mine lol. Any help would be appreciated. Thank u
That's my garden in the photos. Eastaboga is pronounced East ah Bow gah. It's an old Indian name, Muscogee I believe, for "where the people reside". We're not far from Mt. Cheaha and Talladega Speedway. Those carrots are "container carrots" and I don't think I'll ever go back in ground! I can control that soil consistency, keep it nice and fluffy, and let those carrots grow big and straight. That's green beans in the pic with all of the mulch. That's a 5 panel long "bean tunnel" that the pole beans eventually cover. Nothing like picking beans standing straight up in the shade! I finally saw that dang Goat! Had to get the right camera angle......I believe Karrie must be responsible for hiding him! ;)
I am in zone five. I love the Yukon Gold. I also plant the russet. I plant them in burlap bags grow bags. They are with the flap on them.. I did grow a small white potatoes on the bottom of your chart. I just open the bag off putting soil and put them in there. Wow did I get a lot of potatoes 🥔 lol by accident.
Did you fertilize your potatoes? I tried in a 5 gallon container last year and it failed. I want to try grow bags this year. And just organic potting soil?
@@janellehapunik5632 yes, I fertilized with potassium. Not sure what the mixture was I’d have to look. Like she said, you just put four potatoes with a couple eyes on them cover them up wait till they sprout cover them up again until it gets to the very top and then I cover it with straw or hay whatever you have on hand..
Howdy from Texas 8b. Going to try chitting my potatoes this year. Wish me luck cos I’ve never tried it before. Old Goat is behind Moma Hoss behind the hearts.
I always plant Kennebec and Red Pontiac potatoes but am thinking about some Yukon Golds as well this year. Last year my Red Pontiac plants all of the sudden turned yellow and they started losing their leaves. I had 2 California Wonder peppers by them that did the same. When I say all of the sudden I mean within 2 days. I pulled the taters out and left the peppers, which eventually came out of it. Stunted but they lived. Not sure what happened. I bought some 15 gallon root pouches this year and will try potatoes in them as well. The old goat is hiding behind the lovely Mrs. Sheila behind the hearts. God Bless Yall
I will put my potatoes in hopefully the end of February or first 2,weeks of March. I believe you guys will mail mine out by end of January. Hopefully the weather will be right this yrs.
I eat low carb, so I don’t eat potatoes, but after watching your show I might have to grow some for my neighbor! I see that Old Goat hiding behind the three dark red hearts with the burlap bow behind Mama Hoss. Thanks for all the info!
Already ordered my taters from yall. Viking and German Butterball...Looking forward to getting them. We plant here Valentines day💞💞 🐐 is on the side of the heart behind Ms. Hoss. Had to take a screenshot and zoom in🤣🤣
Don’t forget Alaska! It got missed on the chart. We may not have the huge production of some areas but we have a great climate for potato growing. A few farms grow them here and home growers in ground as well as in pots. They taste so good! Alaska potatoes are the best! We’ve grown them for years.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you, I’ve been enjoying your channel! We only have an acre here in Alaska but trying to make it as productive as possible. We are out of the main thoroughfare of the USA and many of our food reserves are somewhere in Oregon so more and more people here are trying to do more farm/gardening.
I'm curious when you're likely to have peanuts back in stock. On the topic of the video, I have been planting potatoes a couple of weeks before average last frost and usually get a disappointing harvest. I'm considering planting earlier this year using row covers to protect the plants as much I can so they don't have to mature in the heat. Spring is really short here. Curiously the planting date on your chart for my location appears to be 4-6 weeks before the average last frost date, so I suppose my new planting plans are more compatible with your recommendation. I still expect with that schedule that the plants are almost certain to get some frost damage and perhaps even freeze to the ground a time or two.
I plant the extra-early potatos in order to get a better harvest. The potatos need to be forming under the soil before the soil gets too warm, or not many potatos will get set. Kansas summers are really too hot for long-season potatos!
Going to try and grow some red potatoes this year never have . I’m kinda new to the gardening. I’ve been gardening for about 2 yrs now. I did good last spring with peas and celebrity tomatoes and Cherokee purple. Haven’t figured out corn yet. Thanks for all the good info y’all give. Be blessed and stay dirty!😂
Hey, Greg question on using drip tape with taters obviously I can’t stop the rain but I don’t like to put any water overhead on plants. Now our usual drip tape, is it best to use zip tape on taters and if so, would it be best to lay the drip tape on top of the ground instead of below, where the tubers are and then, of course, after the first side dress, you would cover the dirt to heal the potatoes in cover the drip tape
Old goat is behind miss hoss and the big hearts. I’m growing potatoes for the first time this year, German butterball, red norland, and French fingerling! What kind of knife is that Greg?
Potatoes are my favorite to grow! Or at least a close second to green beans ;) trying fermentation for the first time this year (Sauer kraut) The old goat is living large as usual and he's behind those hearts that are behind Mama Hoss.
Oh! I saw old goat hiding well! Behind Mama Hoss peeking out from the bigger heart 😁 I need to do better with my potatoes. I end up with lots of small ones, and they are all sending sprouts. They are Yukon Gold.
For so long I did not think that the old goat had a heart. Now I see him hiding behind two of them? Will be planting our potatoes in raised beds about the 15th of March. We are in Zone 7, New Mexico style!
Yukon Gold are my favs, but I think I'd like to try that royal Purple Majesty! That ole 🐐 is behind Shiela's head behind the red ♥️'s. My hubby LOVES your 🌽 y jokes🤓
I have grown potatoes for years. Mostly Red Norland and Yukon Gold. A few German Butterballs. And have been successful with them. Here’s a question, I have tried to grow Russets several times, and they just don’t make. They only produce a bunch of tiny little ones about the size of marbles. I have tried different fertilizers, leaving them in longer, more compost and mulch. Nothing seems to make any difference. Any ideas about why this is? I would appreciate any information you would be willing to share. Thank you!! I am in Hillsborough North Carolina, zone 7.

I didnt even get that far lol. My first two attempts were just at making my own slips... no luck... so this year I figured I'd buy them instead.
The voles got mine in straw last year.
I’m an urban homesteader too! I’m going to try my hand at potatoes this year 🤞🏾 I’m also going to try the straw method your talking about.

I have grown potatoes for years. Mostly Red Norland and Yukon Gold. A few German Butterballs. And have been successful with them. Here’s a question, I have tried to grow Russets several times, and they just don’t make. They only produce a bunch of tiny little ones about the size of marbles. I have tried different fertilizers, leaving them in longer, more compost and mulch. Nothing seems to make any difference. Any ideas about why this is? I would appreciate any information you would be willing to share. Thank you!! I am in Hillsborough North Carolina, zone 7.
We have never grew that variety. Make sure they are getting plenty of water, fertilizer, and sun.
We really enjoy y’all’s videos, if possible please consider using a mic, it would be much easier to understand yall. Thanks again for what you do
