I will say this to you. You have the absolute best videos on UA-cam. From the work you put in creating beautiful gardens to the words you speak. You even made me take a second and think back have I been the best version of my self I’m commenting on this video before it started I’m commenting because I just watched 7 videos threw my spare time in the last couple days and just you have taught me so much. Thank you and please never stop creating great content.
Thank You so much for your kind words. I always have to give Jesus the credit for anything good that I do or say. Hope you watch some more and Thank You Again.
Good job. You have a great family. Enjoyed watching .hope you have a blessed day
Thank You M.H.
You too.
I haven't sat on the back if a transplanter in 30 years, and a clip planter longer than that. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Who am I kidding 😢
I enjoy trying to find a reason to use it every year.
@@Jtwes I remember when we went from a two row clip transplanter to a four row carrousel planter. We used the carrousel to plant potatoes in the garden one year. Just throw the see potatoes in the cups and go. One round & we had eight rows planted. Boy we thought we were sitting in high cotton! (we were & just didn't realize it)
Great video 👍
Good job planting crew !
Im not just saying this but if Leno had a couple trays of plants she would be dialed in before the end of the first tray. Good to see SBF on the tractor. God Bless you for helping out.
This is bringing back so many memories of riding the Holland transplanter behind my Granddad’s 140. Put out the tobacco first. Then we would set out tomatoes and finish up with sweet potatoes. Great video.
Hey Stanley
Glad you enjoyed it. I used it to plant regular potatoes also.
I laid some old tires down and ran an electric fence wire on top of them, held down with bricks. It kept the birds out. I did this on three rows of the twelve rows. I removed them when the corn got about four inches high.
Hey John
Sounds like it worked.
Love the video, Joey! Your wife is so pretty! Blessings to you and the family. 😊
Thank You Torri.
Great job 👏 👍
That planter sure brings back memories. Great video. All the best from Greensboro NC.
Thanks Gwayne.
That planter really does good, I love that thing. I've noticed all of your shirts have been pretty awesome since you asked about the one your Wife doesn't like.
I try to find deals on eBay for them. lol
Good job.
Good job y'all! Hey Joey, I just asked Tiffany if she wants to ride my Holland transplanter behind my 100 to set out some Tomato plants, lol. Great filming as always!
She Might. lol
Looks like you got the planter and the crew dialed in. I'm glad to see the warmer weather, but could use a shower off rain. I'll probably replant my butterbeans, i believe it had just been to cool for them.
Yes sir and it made the ground hard. I planted some Lima beans the other day.
Planted my slips yesterday. Now we just need some rain.
Yeah little shower wouldn’t hurt to much.
I just looked at the weather this morning and hopefully we'll get some this afternoon.
That planter has definitely earned its keep.
It’s definitely planted it’s share. I wasn’t expecting a full H frame on that elcomino.
@@Jtwes yep, it's just like a Monte carlo
You gat you plants early for sure but on your fence if you go around with another set of post about a foot away from where you’re sitting your tall post and put another wire on a lower to the ground. The deer cannot jump over it
I’ve heard that . Might have to do that if it comes up.
Not sure when my sweet potatoes are going to show up here. Did a bunch of planting here this morning. Got a large part of the garden in
Me too yesterday.
That was pretty neat watching the planter. Always cool to find out how stuff works. Tash did a good job too!
Thank You Julie
They are pretty neat machines . Good to hear from you. Leno says hi.
Sweet potatoes are from the morning glory family if I’m not mistaken
Great job Leno! Nothing like the sound of a Holland tobacco planter clicking as the fingers go around. Next year Joey you'll have to bed some sweet potatoes to grow your own slips. Y'all enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Just hope I can keep the deer out.
@@Jtwes It's a never ending battle.
That was family teamwork at it's best Joey. Good to see Leno again and the family all involved. The tatters seemed to be planted well and off to a good start. Yall stay safe and thanks for sharing the experience.
There doing real good still standing tall not wilted any yet.
@@Jtwes Good deal! Maybe you'll have a great harvest with them Joey.
Thanks for sharing the video Joey. I enjoy watching the setter work. Yes it does make it a faster and easier. Hope your electric fence does the trick. Tell Leno and the Boys I said hi. Guess I'll try to plant some more sweet corn and then I will plant some purple hull peas and sweet potatoes. Probably put in a few cucumbers too. Y'all take care.
I was able to get all that planted yesterday. Thank the lord.
Bobby over at perma pasture farm has some bone sauce that can help you with the deer problem.
Ive herd Danny talk about that.
When I got mine in, I put them in a row and water them until I can plant them. Seem to do better than just sticking them in water.
I would have liked to planted them when the got here but I couldn't . I ended up doing a mix of both.
One reason people don't plant the whole potato for sweets is because unlike an irish potato the sweet potato will continue to grow the tuber that was from last year. You will get a massive gnarled up potato. That isn't much good for anything. Another reason would be that sweet potatoes really need warm soil (75 degrees or better yet 85 degrees to grow sprouts properly.) If you planted the tubers whole or in seed pieces then got a week of cool cloudy weather they are likely to rot in the soil, so you need to start them in a stable warm environment. Lastly they say that the sweet potatoes harbor viruses that they pick up over the year(s). It is said that the slips without the tuber attached are less likely to carry along those viruses. Not sure of first hand proof about that one but that is what the scientists say.
Very good info. Are they actually any kin to a Irish potato.
Awesome planter. Reminds me of setting out tobacco growing up on the farm back in the 70’s and 80’s. Enjoyed the video.
Thank You sir.
You have me wanting to try that cultivating setup you had on your A
Great job Joey. That planter does a good job. Just curious, is the planter capable of dropping fertilizer too? And oh yeah, your help did a good job too! Take care buddy👍
They had units you could mount right in front of the riders. We never had one but I’ve seen them.
👍
Joey you have to go BIG next year you can plant an acre fast with the Holland!
We had so much non stop rain in Apex , I had about 50% germination on corn squash and zucchini. Made an executive decision and replanted. I can always thin out. Wonder if I buy my wife a Holland planter????
There all still standing up good. Having the water turned way up helped a lot .
Keep up the videos, just remember if you will for those of us that are new to the farmall tractor if you would tell us the gear and speed . It may sound dumb but I want to learn and not tear something up . Thanks for all you do and showing us your progress.
Will do. That was 1st and slow as I could go without cutting off.
Hi Joey , great job on getting the sweet potatoes planted. Your help did a good job dropping the plants, but can’t say so much for the tractor driver, L O L . Thanks for sharing. Have a good. 😎😎
We always thought the tractor driver had the easiest job growing up.
Great video Joey and family! I'm glad Leno asked about planting "cut sweet potatoes". I had some sweet potatoes last year that started growing eyes. So I took all six of them and planted them in the garden. They grew beautiful vines and I expected a great harvest. I dug them up about 3-4 months later. I had 5 sweet potatoes that were half eaten by grubs. I found out few months ago on Danny's channel that you have to grow them from slips. The slips are grown from pieces of sweet potatoe. I don't know why they won't grow from pieces. BTW Pa want's me to keep an eye out for an old Farmall "transplanter". Apparently he had one back in the 50's along with a "hydro creeper" than ran off the PTO. He said it would plant about 1 row and then over heat and be useless. Did the deer alarm system do any good last year? The deer have eaten all of the watermelon and cantaloupe plants that came up at the farm. Working on the carb and battery connections on the SA. Gas tank should be back from being cleaned and sealed next week.
It did good but it’s only good for small areas.
Sweet potatoes are not really potatoes. They're in the morning glory family.
That’s what I was thinking. Leno was asking about the plants and I told her that was a Danny question. Lol
Just brought a transplanter for our market garden. Very excited to try it out. You think it would plant tomatoes and peppers to Joey? Thanks-Sean
Hey Sean
I have planted those with it before. It just can’t handle a large root ball.
Hey joey want to start out saying your videos are awesome. I have several gardens I work with 2 farmall cubs and a farmall super A and I love working them about every day. This is my first year trying doing Jimmy reds corn is there any where I can get some info on it?
Hey Randy
Go to raileyfarmandfield.com
He also has a UA-cam channel.
When is plow day I would love to go
Hey William
Im thinking the 7th of October. But well see.
How did you harvest them? Love the planter. We have a straight A.
I used my one row furrow plow. They didn’t do good. Going to plant some more this summer with that planter.
Getting ready to plant potatoes, do you put fertilizer down before the potato ? I been hearing about put down 10-20-20 fertilizer, wondering if this is necessary, if it works or if it can do more harm then good.
Hey Hunter
I put 10-10-10 down when or a few days after I plant them.
@@Jtwes ok I’m going off what im hearing from people would 10-20-20 be harmful ? Iv never used it before and really have no idea .
I’m not sure I’ve never used it.
What kind of spray do u use for bugs & fungicide
Hey Christina
The only thing I use on all the different stuff I plant is a little Seven Dust on my Regular potato plants. For my area if I plant in early May I don’t have much of a problem with bugs. I don’t claim to be organic by any means but I try to use as little as I can. I do use regular fertilizer I’ve never seen it cause any problems.
what do you use to control the potatoe bugs
Seven Dust. Just put a little on the other day.
I’ve never seen a transplanter in Ms where I live. Are they common in NC.? What would a fair price be for one?
500 for a working one. Yes they were very popular. Tobacco country was the main reason.
@@Jtwes. Ok thanks, if I ever get up that way I will look for one.
Those slips should have been put in water, regardless they will take off.
Hey Kirby
They were for the first 2 days and on the third day I added some dirt. your right though the haven't wilted any since I planted them.
Lol you didn’t know to put ur sighs out after u planted
No crows allowed
I need to get one for sure. lol
