Potato Fall Planting for Thanksgiving
Some years the best harvest is the fall potatoes, not the spring plantings. The weather usually works a little better in the fall. You can cover a light frost, but once the days are very hot they tend to stay that way. Here is how I plant to get a fast fall crop of white, yellow, yukon and purple potatoes.

Pepper Seeds Wil lNot Germinate! Help! Is it me or the seeds?

If you have seeds that should be good and they will not germinate, what do you do? If some of the seeds are 'newish', then tossing them out and buying new will not solve the problem. How do you figure out the problem? Here is my final last ditch attempt at getting my pepper seeds started.

Cabbage Picking in June : no netting, no sprays
I have planted as early as Mar1 on to May1 and no matter, Im not picking tomatoes until mid July. !
How many gallons were the buckets?
1 medium onion 4 cloves garlic 2 cups mint leaves OR 20 drops peppermint essential oil 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons liquid castile soap (or biodegradable liquid dish soap) Water Place the onion, garlic, peppermint, and cayenne in a blender, and pulverize it. Allow the mixture to soak/steep for a couple hours (optional, but do it if you can), then strain with a fine mesh strainer. Add the onion/garlic mixture to a one-gallon contain (an old milk jug or vinegar jug will work), add the soap, and enough water to make one gallon. Pour into a spray bottle and spritz on any plants being attacked by bugs. Spray 1-2 times per week, or after a heavy rain.
always grow beans away from other vegetables.. those bugs are notorious for legumes.. My grandma's neighbor had these before.. He used vinegar and clove oil diluted in water.. to prevent them from getting on the leaves.. be careful not to put pure vinegar on plants it will cause burn.. clove kills vinegar kills and bugs HATE the smell of both
Yes! They are horrid!!! I cleares two beds and am just starting early woth onions.
They are sucking the life out of my bush bean plants. Your bean plants are what's attracting them. They are attracted to legumes. And they stink so bad. I've been spraying them with dish soapy water and drowning them in a cup of soapy water when I can. That seems to help. My beans seem to be recovering. Fingers crossed.
Don't know fr own experience but others have sprayed essential oils (lavender eucalyptus mint) dilute in water + insecticidal soap like Safer. I feel for you ...
Price of number 7. Most bugs do not like.
It would be a lo of work but after going over them with a vacuum again you could try covering them with Tulle fabric mesh ( the material they make wedding veils out of). You can buy bolts of it very inexpensively. I'm not that far from you in SC . I'm having pest issues too. I use a Ryobi hand held vacuum and have been going after the squash bugs on an ongoing basis.
At this point, sounds like you tried everything you could, I would hit it with Seven by Bayer, I understand you don't want to, but if you don't. you are risking the rest of your crop. Good luck! The bug needs to be id'ed , local nursey with a plant doctor on staff? Co-op exten. service? I like Seven because of no smell, I spray at dusk because of honey bees. Please let us know how you fair in this, thanks for filming.
What kind of tea is that
My slips have done better than I grew myself, but I’m so curious because I had bought these mail order slips and none of them had to leave so I was so confused as to how to even plant them They came in a set of six and not one single slip had leaves on it. They looked like just sticks.
That's a pretty good harvest. How many times can you harvest a bush variety? or simply how long will the plants continue to produce beans?
Very nice harvest.
Nice video and good information. I'm assuming that cuttings are taken in the same way as for Blackcurrents?
I had 6 lovely plants growing here in the UK, sadly the local foxes dug up and destroyed the lot. I'll have to wait until next year now
I'm always happy to see new types of vegetables to grow. Will this grow well in Zone 6A, Central NY area?
I had my first Candy Roaster Squash several years ago. I bought it from a market in Easley, SC that got it from a farmer in NC. It was so big and heavy I think I paid over $25 for it. I saved some seeds and planted a few the next spring in a raised bed and couldn't believe , like you showed in the video, how quickly the vines took off. They grew outside the bed and all over the yard. I had the fruit resting on patio furniture and the vines were all over the place. I think they might be one of the most fun and exciting squash varieties to watch grow.
Thank you soooo much.i did it 🎉
❤❤
In Vancouver my yellow potato sprouted eyes under a grow lamp pretty quickly. In the dirt bag it's going nuts! But the red is still trying to barely sprout. I removed it from the same dirt bag when it didn't do anything because it was starting with the grow lamp too, but too slow. Now I'm skunked with the red. Not sprouting with the grow lamp (and a bit of water). Maybe I'll just plant it in the spare container again and wait. Any ideas on yellow vs red? Maybe it just needs old friend darkness and full moisture instead of inducing a "plant" with the lamp. Nice and cool outside too, so there's that. I'm throwing it back outside in a different container. The cheap pepper isn't fully utilizing that pot anyway.
Great harvest. Do you fertiliser your potatoes?
Very nice, some of those look like my TX Legend onions.
You probably left 20 potatoes in there..Always dump it out
Do you have to cure the purple ones like the orange ones?
Nice😊 beets Do you ever eat the greens. I like them in my smoothie.
Oh my use those in your compost… all of that is normal!
Thank you for your videos. Looking forward to growing some sweet potatoes here in Northeast Louisiana.
This is my first year growing sweet potatoes. I planted some local, organic sweet potatoes in soil just like you a few weeks ago (from the crop I've been buying and eating all winter), and the slips have been taking off like crazy! I wanted to figure out the best way to harvest the slips for planting, and your video was perfect. I'll be planting 45 slips in nine 25 gallon grow bags (5 per bag) with the goal of harvesting 45 pounds. Thank you!
What fertilizer do you use for your sweet potatoes?
Wondering the same thing
Wow, your garlic looks fantastic! What varieties did you plant, and when did you put them in? Thanks for the video!
❤❤❤🎉🎉
❤❤❤
Tuyệt vời quá
Great review. Thanks
Can you do this in the fall too?
Im in the same zone, but my things aren't this big. Can't seem to get past second leaves on my tomatoes, still started hardening them off this week. Any advice? Should I fertilize? Mostly tomatoes and peppers here.
from my limited experience it boils down to light, warmth and regular watering (but not too much). Light is particularly important. Also I noticed that while the tomatoes are quick to develop the first two leaves it takes a bit longer to grow into the proper plant we know. In terms of fertiliser I use a bit of the liquid from the bokashi or the wormery, disolved in the water in a very low ratio 1:20 or something like this. In my area it is still too cold to put stuff outside, but in a week or two I'll try a part of my seedlings and I'll continue over the next period in batches, fingers crossed 🙂
For gods sake, get some plastic and dump the damn container on it.
I saw that Egyptian beet on a site & thought it looked pretty good too. Such a deep color! I was going to do carrots that way, only trying with about 1/2 sand. Hadn’t though about other root crops, but that’s a great idea. Thx for the tip.
Halfway through 2nd tub… man, you got a haul! So fun ✅
Thanks for this video, really enjoyed it. Makes me want to get out there planting!
Holy Tone will make your soil more acidic, lowering your soil, add Dolomite Lime as a ph buffer.
I'm in zone 7b and now they now say it has changed to zone 8 ... I just heard you say Lawrenceville GA which 8s where I am. Hope I'm not too late.
Red potatoes have the most nutrician. There has even been a study in Poland, that organic red potatoes and other potatoes (juicing them) helps heal breast cancer. They don't sell potato juice in the US but they do in Europe, so grow them yourself.
Dixondale is great. A Granex onion is a type of onion. It’s to do with the shape. You’ve surely heard of a Vidalia onion from Vidalia Georgia. They are a granex type onion. Instead of a round onion like a baseball. They are round yes but not to perfectly round. Like the number zero turned on its side. Hope this helps. 🤷♂️
What zone are you in
Wood sorrel is edible 😊 The seed pods taste almost like a sour pickle. The cultivated varieties are grown for the tubers I believe. I've only eaten the leaves, flowers and pods. You can look up info online about eating them and if there's any thing they react with, etc. I seem to remember they're like spinach as far as the oxalic acid so people with kidney problems probably should steer clear. The best revenge for weeds invading your garden is to eat them. It's great to have the last laugh 😂
Huw Richards has a video out about using the space between garden beds for making compost. The video shows how he does it and how much compost he made using the method. I've also seen where people put out water trays and bird baths. It helps to keep the birds and mice from eating the tomatoes and veggies to get the water out of them. My dad is in his seventies and he says gettin' old ain't for sissies 😂 I've been planting in more totes and five gallon buckets. I follow Robbie and Gary gardening easy to make my own dirt for less than buying it. They grow almost everything in containers of some sort in hot California.
Try getting temp closer to 85F
Many varieties can take up to or over a month to germinate. Give them time.
