My Victory Garden or how I spent over $1000 to grow tomatoes
United States
Приєднався 11 кві 2017
This is my story of my experiences in the world of gardening. I am experimenting and learning all the time. Probably making more mistakes and failures than successes. However, like all hobbies they become an obsessive money pit. You tend to not plan on spending so much money often for little results. However, you seem to have fun while spending all that money. Plus, gardening is very addictive because if you only try one more thing it will lead to greater success and satisfaction. However, more often than not you still make more mistakes. We don't garden because its cheaper to grow your own food. For what we spend on equipment its cheaper to go to the store. We do it because its primal, since the dawn of man. We try to fight the elements and control our destiny more than getting a fresh tomato to eat.

Can you keep cutting the vine so it does’nt get so wild
The garden is thriving Your hard work really shows
I noticed that you had a drip line for watering. That may be why your potatoes grew mostly at the top. If you water deeply but less frequently they will fill the bucket more. From my experience. However ... This was a great haul for using buckets
I’d you plant one slip per bucket?
What variety is that
How many plants did you have in each one
You have to cure them to get sweet. Check out how to cure in heat and humidity.
Also, we love them, but so does our dog!!
Wow.. nice I will do it in ly garden! Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Unless you have a 'big' family that's more than a couple of weeks of potatoes. You'd have to eat one EVERYDAY for that to be true with that many of them. We don't typically eat Sweet Potatoes or Yams like that, you typically use them for Sunday & Holiday meals. You got some 'seed potato' there too. Canning, fresh eating & storage is what I see.
A bit strange, watching video upside down. Still, i could see okay. Great harvest, congratulations 👍
My sister is in Austin and claims she can’t grow anything. Where are you located?
dallas. not too far away
Actually the last 2-3 week are when they size up the best ! As long as there’s green they’re getting bigger. I understand wanting to get other things planted.
Nice Black Krim, they are so delicious. I have grown them every year for several years. Would you consider changing the name of your channel from how I spent $1,000.00 to grow tomatoes? Gardening is my hobby and I don't think I have spent nearly that much after over ten years of gardening, while I have harvested enough wonderful & delicious vegetables to share with friends and family. I think you might be scaring off potential gardeners from growing their own home grown food by perpetuating the idea that it costs way more than it is worth to grow your own vegetables, so why bother. Thanks.
Can you send me seeds
Everything looks good!!
Good harvest
missed you!!!! love your vids!!
Yay! Thank you!
The "bad potato" is the seed potato you planted 90 days previously
Awesome! Blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late it"s not God's will for none to perish. Acts 2vs 38 John 3vs 16:Romans 10 vs 13
Congratulations on a great harvest !
I peel, wash and cut my sweet potatoes into chunks and then I put them in a ziplock bag and put some olive oil over them and mix them all with a bunch of spices like parsley, paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper, ranch powder and a very small amount of chili powder so that you get that mixture of sweet and spicy- I then put them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven until they have a nice crispy ness to them and my family gobbles them up!
Wow! nice harvest, congradulations, that was worth it, also your SP, was also a great yield, very nice👍🏻
Next year, I would try without the container, put newspaper down and plant the potatoes without breaking ground. Might find even bigger potatoes. But this is a cool idea too
How are they doing now?
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread on two separate occasions, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Revelation 2:10). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name! if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 KJV Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 KJV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.,.. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection: Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. To anoint your home or other building: place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick: place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Very nice harvest!!!
That is an interesting question as to whether they could be grown hydroponically! Did you give it a try since this video? You sure did get alot of sweet potatoes from those buckets!
When they stick in the bucket, tip em over and push down on the center of the bottom with the heel of your hand.
Next time dump them onto a tarp. You can refresh the soil and reuse it.
Nice 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Well, that was fun! Like walking around with someone you know, just checking out their garden on a nice summer day. Thanks! (New to your channel, I like it!)
thanks very much
Do you know what your plants were, determentate or indeterminate?
Wow..😯
And do not sweet potato chips and sweet potato fries
You can also cut the the leaves for more roots.
Or you can eat.
Get the young leaf they are edible.

Have. Harvested the sweet potato yet
the plant is growing well my friend. greetings from Indonesian farmers
Thanks for the video, I pick coffee grounds up from my local bakery. I use them in my compost bin, after watching this I’ll use them in my new garden beds. 👍 Cheers, from Australia 🇦🇺
How often do u water
in texas it is hot so sometimes twice a day. containers dry out quickly here. you may only need once a day or once every other day where you live.
@@myvictorygardenorhowispent9559 I live in Florida. I am scared of watering them my potatoes will be rotten. How much water do u add
Did you say what you did during the growing phase and I missed it? Your harvest is HUGE!
I basically just watered and put down fertilizer every so often. The sun took care of the rest.
I prefer to watch the harvest.
Nice 👍. I need to trellis in future
The plant that you call a tunnel plant looks like what a guy gave me once. He called it a Japanese okra.
Its been a fun plant to grow
If you grow your tomatoes earlier and let them get about a foot tall, you can dig a hole and put them in it. You can also make a trench and lay them down and cover everything up to a couple of inches. The plants being buried gives them more roots and makes them healthier.
I think those potatoes will taste good for lunch
wow nice video of picking berries😍
Thank you 😋
@@myvictorygardenorhowispent9559 ur welcome mr.
