    Unfortunately, I had a stroke and lost mobility on my right side, which had been my strongest and dominant side all my life. My therapist recently told me that they were going to try a new therapy that I would enjoy, and when she said, "Garding in small spaces and house plant potting. " I couldn't have been happier. Thanks for keeping me company while I was in the hospital. And, continuing to give me hope that I will one day be able to grow my own foods and cook in my kitchen again. GOD BLESS YOU ❤

    Becky just an idea the next time you plant potatoes. I am 80 years old and my dad taught me to cut the seed potatoes where they will have 2 eyes(not plant potatoes whole), you won’t need as many potatoes and it will save you money. Also I am sure it was fun to have the clam digger, but dad just made a long trench 4 inches deep and planted the potatoes 12 inches apart(no digging individual holes) and that is how I plant my potatoes to this day. God bless your wonderful parents and Josh for helping in the garden.

    • @natashamoore4030
      @natashamoore4030 Місяць тому +7

      I was going to suggest chitting the potatoes as well. Need to leave the cuts to 'heal' for a bit before planting, though, so they don't rot.

      That digger was more trouble than it ws worth, a trench would be much easier, didn't seem comfortable for Dad's back either. Anyway why have your parents work in the cold rain, I am their age and would have said I will help but not in this weather, no planting is that important surely.

    One thing I learned while working in a kitchen is, I wear small, form fitting latex gloves under my garden gloves when I'm working with anything that can get them wet. It keeps your hands dry and much warmer. You can wear them over your garden gloves as well. It's a little overkill, but your hands won't be cold and wet while playing g in the garden.

    I just saw your Rhubarb on your way put to your raised beds.
    I've tried growing Rhubarb years ago to no avail. Two years ago an Amish lady told me where to plant it and not only has it came back two years in a row, but it is beautiful and huge.
    I wish I could include a picture of my Rhubarb.
    Happy potatoes planting today.

    Next year if you haven't been getting rain before you plant potatoes, use your irrigation system to water the bed you decide to use.

    Hi Becky! And all the early birds! Wishing you all a lovely week from Eastern Canada. Clam digging is very popular here. I use my feet to feel for them in the sand. But I don't recommend that technique for the novice clamer lol.

    Idea- 1 person use the clam digger, a second person puts the potato in the hole, then empty the dirt back into the hole on top of the potato instead of emptying it onto where you are going to put the next hole.

    I plant with my Daddy too. My Momma was the one to can it all up, but we lost her in 2015. One of our therapies was learning how to can the 2015 harvest. We have done it ever since. My Daddy is 82 now and I know, if things go like the universe plans, then I'll be doing it by myself one day...I am learning ALL I can from his knowledge.

    My mom loved gardening. We lost my mom in 2015. She wanted to have some tomatoes and cucumbers. We had started building her a couple of raised beds. But she was in an accident that took her life. Seeing your mom and dad helping reminds me our my parents worked side by side in a garden. You and your parents are inspirational.
