The last few weeks of living life in the slow lane have been some of our favorite times since moving here 3 years ago, we're really leaning into enjoying the fruits of our labours (no pun intended). I'm sure some of you have been wondering what's been going on with the container home and we are just itching to fill you in. Let's just say, squirrel better keep on with those lessons 👀
Oh my Dynamic Duo, My Favorite Boys, or as I think of you today is my Favorite Potato Kings 🤴 🤴 I am wondering, are you going yo plant in your plant boxes this year? I love watching the two of you in your garden, it's amazing. Sending Love and Hugs to Tyler and Todd and their Lil Family 💙💙🐕🐕🐈⬛
How do y'all remember what needs water however often they need it and keep the growth so steady ? I'm so jealous of your garden. I'm saving for a house (even though I will build a little shipping container home of my own) so I can a perfect little garden. Everything looks like you're going to have a big haul just like last season. Keep up the amazing and insightful videos. Don't forget to show us Squirrel in her little swim vest. Have a safe and blessed day. We're ♥ Love, Love, Loving you two in New Orleans. Jeanine
Next time you prepare potatoes by cutting for planting do it 2 days before planting. This will allow the pieces to form callus or seal so they won’t rot while they sprout and take root.
@@tylerandtodd and also you need to plant them in the bottom of the rows, not hills .. and then keep filling the rows in with soil as the potato plant grows and gets taller, keep filling it in until the plant dies back and goes brown, then harvest ❤
Yes, the cut edge needs to dry out for a few days….plus you don’t need to cut them into 3 or 4 pieces, cut them into two max. If they are small leave them whole. Good luck, I hope you get a good harvest with everything in your very large garden 🥰🍃.
I can’t explain how happy I am to have found your channel just over a week ago. I needed your warm, addictive videos to keep me going through a difficult week. It’s the anniversary of my son passing & I lost my fur baby last year 10th June 2022. There so much depressing stuff on UA-cam, but watching you two & your beautiful fur babies have made me smile & kept me watching your older videos. Although you guys have been through so many disappointments, injuries & illness you keep smiling & give me (& I’m sure many more) hope. I find you two, your beautiful surroundings, editing & music really relaxing. Thank you Tyler & Todd for your uplifting videos, they help more than you know. Sending ❤❤ from the UK.
Its so sweet how they " never, neVER forget "were" watching when talking to eachother or even the boys. I lovehow tbey will say " ok guys were gonna put you down so we can " blah, blah, blah. It keeps you drawn in that much more. Gotta love this couple for all the inventive and interesting things they do on their journey to their perfect home. ❤😊❤
I was laughing at last week's comment "chest freezers are where good intentions go to die". It's so true. Having just defrosted my chest freezer I can tell you, don't clean one on your own. I nearly fell in and had to be pulled out 🤣🤣.
Watermelon, zucchini, squash, pumpkins, Cucumbers - anything that runs/vines out needs lots of space. Next year you will want a separate patch for the items that spread. You should also give the cabbage a lot of space. Now cabbage you can cut out the center & leave the roots - baby cabbages will grow in like Brussel Sprouts in place of the head you removed. Tomatoes you should start at the end of January. Now if you plant corn next year - you need 8 rows and you can place pole beans in with the corn - the green beans will grow up the corn stalks so you don't need a trellis system. Good job on the garden.
@@tylerandtoddPlant the ‘three sisters’. Corn, peas up the stalks, squash (including pumpkins, cucumbers, zucchini) along the ground. The Canadian First Nations peoples used this method. The corn supports the peas, the peas fix nitrogen for the corn, the squash shades the soil and keeps the weeds down. Very efficient use of space in a small garden.
Yes, you need more space. Vines, corn, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes all need more space than you have given them. And certain plants grow better with certain others, without others.
You can keep small one somewhere. Until that house is completed. Then you can put big one to that house. Then put back small one in dome as it fit there best. You can keep both.
Potato salad, potato cakes, baked potatoes, potato soup, hashbrown potatoes, roasted potatoes... You will not have any problem with the potatoes. The garden is going to be amazing. Congratulations on the new fridge. What is going on with the container home????
Fun video! All my favorite things. I even noticed the Crocks. Hurray! And YES, Smarties are your Rockets. All rolled up in those little rolls. I've never seen the boxed kind. And hey, how about skillet potatoes with eggs and whatever else for breakfast?? Hot sauce?? Thanks again. really enjoyed this episode :) - and for showing us how the surf shark works
My wife and I grew a watermelon in Elderbank we were so excited it was the size of a volley ball and we saved it for our annual end of the summer gathering with our friend at their cottage when I went to slice it all I saw was green what a disappointment so I switched it with a store bought watermelon that was already there sliced it up and my wife was sooo proud I didn’t have the heart to tell her the difference she found out when she went to put the leftovers in the fridge and she saw the other half of the store bought watermelon my only advice is to keep it on the vine to the last possible moment
Guys, amazing episode. The river kayaking was gorgeous. You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful place, with all of the nature. The garden is going to be awesome, and the new fridge to store it all in. I started watching you the first day on the land. You've accomplished so much with all the hard work. You 2 are so lucky 😊
Wow guys looks awesome. You are going to have lots of greens ready at the same time. If you save some seed and plant them 2 or 3 weeks later you get constant great greens over time rather than all at once. What a bountiful harvest.
I love how excited you are about having the new full size fridge. It certainly will be nice when your vegetables start yielding. It will be exciting to see your garden growing!! You planted a wonderful variety of plants. I was glad to see you take some time off kayaking on the river!! The scenery was beautiful, all the lush greenery, and the water looked so clear. Very inspiring video, hope you have a great week, and look forward to next Sunday!! ❤🫂🌈
For smoothies, I blend spinach, then pour into ice cubes and freeze. Easy way to use fresh spinach before it gets icky and loses nutrient value. When you mentioned having refrigerator/freezer space for spinach for smoothies, it made me think of that. Great video as always from you two!
Cannot begin to tell you the joy you bring into others lives by allowing us into yours. The immense respect you two have for each other is admirable and inspiring. You have struck the best balance with gardening, relaxing, candid conversations, construction and continuous love. My kids even say “Mom, did Tyler and Todd post yet?!” Thank you both for laughs!
Try zucchini goulash! It's really good and you are going to have lots of zucchini. You can can potatoes and have them for next winter. My grandparents had a potato bin in their basement. So if you have cool dry place you can try that. Put the potatoes in a dry material like straw or grass or sawdust.
You guys !!! What a beautiful garden ❤ You’ve created a heaven on earth for yourselves !! Two handsome, intelligent, hard working men…. I’m happy for you 🎉!!
If all couples were as happy go lucky and loving towards each other like you two, this world would be such a better place! I love how you two have so much fun together! Joking with each other constantly! No competition, always encouraging each other! You two truly love spending every moment with each other! Thx for being such an inspiration! ❤
I only discussed your channel a few weeks ago, so I've been catching up on a lot of your past videos. I'm so impressed with the quality of your videos, very slick and professional. Your adventures have inspired us to also look into building a container house when we eventually move to Ireland. Got to get away from England! It's driving us mad. I now look forward to seeing your videos every week. Take care of yourselves, love from Richard and Dean.
I had a similar experience with my plants - seeds grown in 'coconut recycled pot things' did not grow as large/well as the ones I had in plastic containers. I felt like the coconut pots soaked up the water that was supposed to be saved for the plants and then it evaporated faster. The veg I grew the first time this year was pak choi - so easy and also very short growing time 😊 have been eating them for about a week now!
Hi Todd and Tyler..😁🤗. Can’t wait to see all the little plants growing and producing yummy veggies…just a suggestion, if you plant marigolds in and around your veggies, you won’t get bugs…😁🤗👍🏻
Potatoes "Boil em, mash em, put em in a stew". Honestly though they are so versatile you can even make candy and bread with them, so you'll probably find a use for all of them
Cutting potato seeds will certainly increase the number of plants you can plant, but they do emerge slower and will grow less quickly the smaller the pieces are. Probably don’t want to cut them into more than 4 pieces, and you will have best results if you leave them whole. It’s a balance between speed or quantity, but the potato uses the nutrients from the potato to grow into it has a good root developed so the more flesh available the faster/larger it’ll grow
Fun fact, during exploration times, ships would put seedlings into potatoes. The moisture of the potato maintained the seedlings, thus bringing new fruits and vegetables to the “new world “
I love that you bought the reduced produce items! I look for items that are marked down because it’s saving EVERY ONE money because it would possibly be thrown away! It also encourages me to eat the fresh food up first. Love you two 🙏🏼🥰
Yes Todd is right that those are smarties here in the US. Its weird because they look exactly the same and the same style wrapper with a different name. Garden looks great and so does the new fridge. Happy Sunday.
Potatoes! Love them! Boiled with butter! Mashed! Grataine! Pommes Anna, pommes frites, potatoburger! Cold cooked potatoes on a ryebred with … whatever and aspecial treat from the north of Sweden- has been server to the king - dopp i kopp!
It is funny to think that you started out this adventure that you are on with a tiny RV fridge and now you have the full size residential one. Little by little you are getting closer to your forever home being just the way you want it. So excited for you!! Oh and that river being so close is a nice bonus. So fun to be able to kayak on those hot summer days.
just a suggestion. if you make mashed potatoes... (don't use any dairy or fat. just some starchy water from boiling them) you can then dehydrate the mash and put it in a blender or food processor and BOOM! homegrown mashed potatoes for the year. you can use it as potato starch or make it like you would boxed mashed potato mix. I do this every year with at least half of my harvest so I can preserve it in my mason jars for a long time taking up less space!
Whenever I watch your videos, I always feel like a friend who comes over to visit. You are such a lovely couple and amazing hosts. You are both an inspiration. Keep it up!
Yes, you go full Dexter on the taters! And for zucchini or pumpkin, watermelon etc. they share real estate with the other plants, put 3/4 seeds at end of a row in one saucer sized hole, and then train the vines as they grow down your veggie beds.
I used to add leftover mashed potatoes to my whole wheat bread, it helps the heavier WW flour rise. Also try molasses (add to or instead of, sugar) as yeast loves that more than sugar! I recently came across a recipe for yeast-raised donuts that included mashed potatoes as well, so there's plenty you can do with your potatoes!
This is fantastic! well done guys. Just a tip. On the items that you don't want to all come up at once because you cant eat them before they go to seed. plant your green house in two stages. Half one week and half the next week or two weeks later and half the potato's one week and the other half 2 weeks later. Have a great summer. Heather
I hope your potatoes are fruitful, but you are meant to leave them to dry once you cut them before planting. Also if you cut them too small there won't be enough nutrients for them to grow, but 🤞🤞🤞 You also should never plug in a fridge or freezer until at least 24 hours after it has been tilted on its side! Lx
it cheers me up just to see you guys doing mundane tasks - and seeing you kayaking and enjoying nature is the icing on the cake - love seeing you so much!!
Gosh your garden is going to be AMAZING this year! And the new fridge/freezer is such a great idea, can your old one go in the container house or your spa area to keep your summer drinks cold?
It's SO MUCH easier to grow potatoes in grow bags or burlap sacs. When they're ready, you just dump them out of the bags, et voila! You're just using too much space in the garden where you can either plant other veggies or berries, like strawberries..
Hi guys! The garden looks great - you're going to have so much yummy veg before you know it! Oh and Todd is correct... those candies are called Smarties in the States. Enjoy your new fridge - looks mint!
20:00 I watch some Brits and they think North America fridges are so huge! I couldn’t imagine NOT having a full sized fridge! Especially with a family of 5!
T&T, I just wanted to tell about how you two (and the boys) put a smile on my face every Sunday. I can be in a lousy mood, and when I watch your episode everything is better in life. I am not certain if you realize what effect you have on us viewers with your positive attitude and constant joking. And we are getting all of this for free - no doctor fee involved. Your river kayak trip was wonderful and the scenery is breathtaking. I hope you have a great week and we look forward to an update on your house. Love you both!
Have you guys seen the hack where you fill milk jugs with water and put pin holes in the bottom. Set the jugs by the plants and slow water all day. That may help you with the water you need for your Sugar babies.
When you cut the potatoes they need to dry out before you plant them. They may be fine but if you don’t have as much success as you thought you would that will be the reason.
With a new fridge you are supposed to let it stand for 24 hours before plugging it in especially after having it on it's side . It's to let the gas settle. Unless it's different in Canada . Love you both
The sheer joy in all things you both have had this week is just delightful! I have to admit that when Todd insisted that you didn’t need the dolly I was taken back to the moment that one of my surgeons said we didn’t need to get the rep in for a last minute procedure. We did. Your scotch mints are our mint imperials here in Scotland and yes, VERY addictive! PS you’ll have to throw some frozen spinach, some chickpeas and some vegan hotdogs into some stock this winter for the world’s quickest and tastiest soup. And you can also make a light potato based soup with cubed potatoes and vegan hotdogs for the winter. Very German xx
You’ve both work so hard the last 3 years so it’s good to see you slow down a bit to enjoy and have some fun. How great it must be to start the morning kayaking minutes from home. You’re living the good life! Thanks as always for bringing us along.
Your videos are so beautiful it looks like you have a professional film crew following you guys. I look forward to your videos so much. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Much love
😂😂😂 "Sugar Baby Watermelon living her best life!" OMG you two are so funny. I could just listen to you two all the time, oh wait I always do. Bahahahahaha! I love the new fridge and you will have space for the enormous amounts of veggies you are growing. The little green house is so cute just perfect for the little toad, Tyler, Todd & Toad too!
Always exciting to plant out a vegie garden. A few tips: If you are cutting the potatoes before you plant them, you need to let them seal/callous over so that they don't rot. Wait a few hours at absolute minimum but a day or two is better. And harden off the seedlings outside for a week or 2 before planting so they can get used to the elements. Glass and greenhouses keep them protected and the contrast from the greenhouse to a garden bed can, more often than not, be too great and the seedling will die.
Hi guys! I have such a stupid question and am almost embarrassed to ask. If you float down the river are you walking back to your starting point? I've always wondered every time you float.
Tyler's back! Remember how much it sucked to be out of commision for weeks. Use a hand truck next time especially for awkward loads. And you are both getting up there, lol. Think turtle not hare. All the best for your continuing success.
Horticulturist here. Just want to help you with your vegetable seedlings. Their pots should never be sitting in water like that. They can't completely dry out so you have to keep an eye on them and water them regularly but the water should drain away right away. Make sure they are in trays that have holes in the bottom.
Guys, pumpkins and watermelon need to have space to grow vines. You can also grow potatoes in big trash cans. Just an fyi. Oh don’t forget to make potato pancakes with scallions.
Potatoes are good for gnocchi, latkes, hash, hash browns, and tater tots. You can even can them. You could mash them, and freeze them as well! Thank you for the upbeat vid! I needed some uplifting today.
Did you know that after a fridge or freezer has been on it's side, you are supposed to leave it upright for a minimum of an hour before plugging it in and turning it on. Hope by plugging it in right away that you don't have any problems with your new fridge. The least expensive place I've found to buy those Taylor Farms bagged salads is Costco - they are usually $7.99 for a two-pack which is a phenomenal price compared to regular grocery store where they charge $11.00 for two.

As always y’all rocked this Texas Grandma’s Sunday 🤗💕🥰
@@susanallen9161 Thanks Susan, hope you're having a wonderful weekend xo
A swimming pool!!!!🤪🤪
Yes, Todd, you are correct. Rockets=Smarties. Your Smarties are like M&Ms…but better! Love the new swimmin’ hole! The entire river road is gorgeous.
Oh my Dynamic Duo, My Favorite Boys, or as I think of you today is my Favorite Potato Kings 🤴 🤴 I am wondering, are you going yo plant in your plant boxes this year? I love watching the two of you in your garden, it's amazing. Sending Love and Hugs to Tyler and Todd and their Lil Family 💙💙🐕🐕🐈⬛
If you lay a fridge down then you need to leave it upright for 24 hours before you plug it in. So the coolants can level up again. Oops
I was just going to comment that. It didn't look like they plugged it in right away but not sure they waited 24 hours. Hope it worked out okay.
Was thinking the same thing
On this episode of the more you know ✍🏼😂
I was going to say the same thing I was in a major panic when I saw T&T lay it down. ❤ them
Not anymore…different coolant, according to the fellows who delivered our new fridge.
How do y'all remember what needs water however often they need it and keep the growth so steady ? I'm so jealous of your garden. I'm saving for a house (even though I will build a little shipping container home of my own) so I can a perfect little garden.

Pick a spot for a strawberry patch. Just keep adding your old strawberries to it. Eventually you have tons of them.
Next time you prepare potatoes by cutting for planting do it 2 days before planting. This will allow the pieces to form callus or seal so they won’t rot while they sprout and take root.
Oh wow, had no idea. Thanks for the tip Robin!
And if u start with them in sort of an inverted row (think small ditch) it will be easier to hill them later.
I was about to tell them this!! As well as the thing about the fridge being on its side and letting it sit b4 plugging it in!
@@tylerandtodd and also you need to plant them in the bottom of the rows, not hills .. and then keep filling the rows in with soil as the potato plant grows and gets taller, keep filling it in until the plant dies back and goes brown, then harvest ❤

Yes Smarties, here in the US. I cannot wait to see the yield your garden brings in. This is the fun part watching it grow!!! 😘😘 To the fur babies
Can confirm
Hi guys, Todd is correct. In the U.S. those are Smarties.
Happy Father’s Day because furbaby daddies count too ❤️
I can’t wait to watch the garden grow all summer 😘😘
Yes! Here’s to two great fathers 🥂cheers 🎉!
You should let your cut potatoes “heal” after you cut them, before planting ( let them sit over night)
Potato salad, potato cakes, baked potatoes, potato soup, hashbrown potatoes, roasted potatoes... You will not have any problem with the potatoes. The garden is going to be amazing. Congratulations on the new fridge. What is going on with the container home????

One little spoon for Todd!!! Those are 100% Smarties in the US! Love 'em!!!
I really noticed how more relaxed you two are, I’ve been following your adventures from the time you got your RV
My wife and I grew a watermelon in Elderbank we were so excited it was the size of a volley ball and we saved it for our annual end of the summer gathering with our friend at their cottage when I went to slice it all I saw was green what a disappointment so I switched it with a store bought watermelon that was already there sliced it up and my wife was sooo proud I didn’t have the heart to tell her the difference she found out when she went to put the leftovers in the fridge and she saw the other half of the store bought watermelon my only advice is to keep it on the vine to the last possible moment
The editing in this ep is sublime especially the river scenes. So smooth
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
The river is beautiful... so peaceful. I'd be there every day
Plant the water melon near the pond. Celery takes a lot of water also.

Yes Todd is right that those are smarties here in the US. Its weird because they look exactly the same and the same style wrapper with a different name. Garden looks great and so does the new fridge. Happy Sunday.
Usually, when you move a fridge sideways, you have to let the liquid settle for 24 hours before you turn it on. Not sure what happens if you don't.
Think new ones don't have this issue 😊
I don't think the fridge was on its side long enough to worry.

Yup, Rockets are called Smarties here in the US. Worst candy ever! lol
It is funny to think that you started out this adventure that you are on with a tiny RV fridge and now you have the full size residential one. Little by little you are getting closer to your forever home being just the way you want it. So excited for you!! Oh and that river being so close is a nice bonus. So fun to be able to kayak on those hot summer days.
We tried the soilent green drink but used Costco Coconut milk instead of water. YUMMMM!
Hi Todd & Tyler the garden is off to an awesome start -- looking forward to seeing your abundance 🥦🍓🍅🥕
Happy Father’s Day plant daddies ❤️
Happy Father’s Day zaddies
just a suggestion. if you make mashed potatoes... (don't use any dairy or fat. just some starchy water from boiling them) you can then dehydrate the mash and put it in a blender or food processor and BOOM! homegrown mashed potatoes for the year. you can use it as potato starch or make it like you would boxed mashed potato mix. I do this every year with at least half of my harvest so I can preserve it in my mason jars for a long time taking up less space!
The water from that is also better gravy thickener than corn starch. You are amazing! That is an excellent suggestion.
Whenever I watch your videos, I always feel like a friend who comes over to visit. You are such a lovely couple and amazing hosts. You are both an inspiration. Keep it up!
The river ride was spectacular.
Watermelons need 73 days to be there juicy best. You should have 3 beauties by the end of September.
Tyler your cinematography is awesome. ❤ Tad & I celebrated our 9th year on the June 14th
Congratulations!!! The good ones are difficult to find.
Yes, you go full Dexter on the taters! And for zucchini or pumpkin, watermelon etc. they share real estate with the other plants, put 3/4 seeds at end of a row in one saucer sized hole, and then train the vines as they grow down your veggie beds.
beautiful vista as you are paddling through the forest. You both look SOOOOOOOOOO relaxed! Good for you!
Precious, simply precious.
I just really admire how deeply happy, funny and genuine you both are together. 🌈
I used to add leftover mashed potatoes to my whole wheat bread, it helps the heavier WW flour rise. Also try molasses (add to or instead of, sugar) as yeast loves that more than sugar!
I recently came across a recipe for yeast-raised donuts that included mashed potatoes as well, so there's plenty you can do with your potatoes!
This is fantastic! well done guys. Just a tip. On the items that you don't want to all come up at once because you cant eat them before they go to seed. plant your green house in two stages. Half one week and half the next week or two weeks later and half the potato's one week and the other half 2 weeks later. Have a great summer. Heather
I hope your potatoes are fruitful, but you are meant to leave them to dry once you cut them before planting. Also if you cut them too small there won't be enough nutrients for them to grow, but 🤞🤞🤞 You also should never plug in a fridge or freezer until at least 24 hours after it has been tilted on its side! Lx
it cheers me up just to see you guys doing mundane tasks - and seeing you kayaking and enjoying nature is the icing on the cake - love seeing you so much!!
My dream is for you two to come and over haul my 8 acres down here in Georgia! Because you don't have enough projects going on 😂
Gosh your garden is going to be AMAZING this year! And the new fridge/freezer is such a great idea, can your old one go in the container house or your spa area to keep your summer drinks cold?
Ooooh that is a GREAT idea!
Don’t sell/ get rid of the old fridge. You’re gonna have a lot of produce to process in the fall; it may come in very handy
It's SO MUCH easier to grow potatoes in grow bags or burlap sacs. When they're ready, you just dump them out of the bags, et voila! You're just using too much space in the garden where you can either plant other veggies or berries, like strawberries..
Is the river a part of your property??? What stunning homestead you have!!! 🥰❤️🌲🌳🎶🐶🐶🦋🌻🌺🌸🏡
Next time you start tomatoes in the peat pods they need to be transferred to a bigger container with more dirt after they get about 3 inches tall.
You guys are hilarious. Tyler putting his crocs onto sport mode 😂🤣
So satisfying to to all the plants into the ground 🙌 have a great week guys.
Not a single “bottom mount” joke with the fridge box. And during Pride month, no less. (Seriously, lovely video!)
Honestly…we’re ashamed of ourselves 🤣
Hi guys! The garden looks great - you're going to have so much yummy veg before you know it! Oh and Todd is correct... those candies are called Smarties in the States. Enjoy your new fridge - looks mint!
20:00 I watch some Brits and they think North America fridges are so huge! I couldn’t imagine NOT having a full sized fridge! Especially with a family of 5!
T&T, I just wanted to tell about how you two (and the boys) put a smile on my face every Sunday. I can be in a lousy mood, and when I watch your episode everything is better in life. I am not certain if you realize what effect you have on us viewers with your positive attitude and constant joking. And we are getting all of this for free - no doctor fee involved. Your river kayak trip was wonderful and the scenery is breathtaking. I hope you have a great week and we look forward to an update on your house. Love you both!
Have you guys seen the hack where you fill milk jugs with water and put pin holes in the bottom. Set the jugs by the plants and slow water all day. That may help you with the water you need for your Sugar babies.
You guys seem much more relaxed than in previous videos❤️Can’t wait to see the garden grow!!!!
When you cut the potatoes they need to dry out before you plant them. They may be fine but if you don’t have as much success as you thought you would that will be the reason.
You know it's Sunday, when Tyler and Todd are on our screens. Having my snacks and going to watch the vlog. Love you Tyler and Todd🤗😊🙌❤️🇨🇦
With a new fridge you are supposed to let it stand for 24 hours before plugging it in especially after having it on it's side . It's to let the gas settle. Unless it's different in Canada . Love you both
The sheer joy in all things you both have had this week is just delightful! I have to admit that when Todd insisted that you didn’t need the dolly I was taken back to the moment that one of my surgeons said we didn’t need to get the rep in for a last minute procedure.
We did.
Your scotch mints are our mint imperials here in Scotland and yes, VERY addictive!
PS you’ll have to throw some frozen spinach, some chickpeas and some vegan hotdogs into some stock this winter for the world’s quickest and tastiest soup. And you can also make a light potato based soup with cubed potatoes and vegan hotdogs for the winter. Very German xx
13:44 The rock skipping has me cracking up! Definitely have to go side arm!
You’ve both work so hard the last 3 years so it’s good to see you slow down a bit to enjoy and have some fun. How great it must be to start the morning kayaking minutes from home. You’re living the good life! Thanks as always for bringing us along.
Potato soup, potato salad, potato cakes...there are lots of things to do with potato, you can can potatoes as well!!!
Your videos are so beautiful it looks like you have a professional film crew following you guys. I look forward to your videos so much. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Much love
I think the same thing! Well said! Cheers 🍻 Tylor and Todd! Happy Father's Day to the both of you!
Potato soup, roast chicken with potatoes, new potatoes in a salad etc. etc. 😁
😂😂😂 "Sugar Baby Watermelon living her best life!" OMG you two are so funny. I could just listen to you two all the time, oh wait I always do. Bahahahahaha! I love the new fridge and you will have space for the enormous amounts of veggies you are growing. The little green house is so cute just perfect for the little toad, Tyler, Todd & Toad too!
Always exciting to plant out a vegie garden.
A few tips: If you are cutting the potatoes before you plant them, you need to let them seal/callous over so that they don't rot. Wait a few hours at absolute minimum but a day or two is better.
And harden off the seedlings outside for a week or 2 before planting so they can get used to the elements. Glass and greenhouses keep them protected and the contrast from the greenhouse to a garden bed can, more often than not, be too great and the seedling will die.
Hi guys! I have such a stupid question and am almost embarrassed to ask. If you float down the river are you walking back to your starting point? I've always wondered every time you float.
Tyler's back! Remember how much it sucked to be out of commision for weeks. Use a hand truck next time especially for awkward loads. And you are both getting up there, lol. Think turtle not hare. All the best for your continuing success.
Horticulturist here. Just want to help you with your vegetable seedlings. Their pots should never be sitting in water like that. They can't completely dry out so you have to keep an eye on them and water them regularly but the water should drain away right away. Make sure they are in trays that have holes in the bottom.
Those evil candies are indeed smarties in the U.S. Happy Sunday!! I love planting season!
For $199 you can get a smaller deep freeze...................best thing ever.
Guys, pumpkins and watermelon need to have space to grow vines.
You can also grow potatoes in big trash cans. Just an fyi.
Oh don’t forget to make potato pancakes with scallions.
Potatoes are good for gnocchi, latkes, hash, hash browns, and tater tots. You can even can them. You could mash them, and freeze them as well! Thank you for the upbeat vid! I needed some uplifting today.
Did you know that after a fridge or freezer has been on it's side, you are supposed to leave it upright for a minimum of an hour before plugging it in and turning it on. Hope by plugging it in right away that you don't have any problems with your new fridge. The least expensive place I've found to buy those Taylor Farms bagged salads is Costco - they are usually $7.99 for a two-pack which is a phenomenal price compared to regular grocery store where they charge $11.00 for two.
Best best channel!! You guys are just super cool and are so calming to watch!! Greetings from Cape Town South Africa😁
Don't you ever make a baked potato. You can slice half inch across butter or cheese slices in-between and bake . You can use the air fryer.❤😊😊😊😊
