Been watching for a couple of years but I just wanted to say I really appreciate the time and effort you and Nancy put into these videos. I love being able to see the entire process in one video. Thank you both!!
Thank you Ashleigh. It’s folks like you that keeps us going. God bless you and your family ❤️❤️🐶
I totally agree. Love seeing the whole growing progression in one video. I know that takes months to create and we appreciate you guys!
Same here!
❤❤❤
Isn’t gardening such a blessing? It teaches us patience and joy. And hope.
I've followed your bucket advice for a few years now. Always have a nice crop of fresh potatoes. I should probably start a few buckets each month to have a better supply. I have to say that you and your wife are what the heartland is all about. You are a blessing for us all. And thanks for that.
how much ingredients do I need to fill 4 buckets
Spring 2021, I planted my first small bed of potatoes, my harvest was like yours but, i was proud!!!! Thank you Hollis and Nancy for sharing and encouraging us to grow our own food no matter how big or small the garden is, just do it!!!!!!!
How long will potatoes stay good for?
@@shutupmanful In a cool dark place, about two to four months.
You could always can them also, make sure their pealed first
Congratulations woooo! 🙂🎊🎈🎉🍾
@@shutupmanful you can leave them in the soil and they’ll store til next year. That’s how nature does it ! KISS! 🙂
Right on time! We are considering planting potatoes in buckets this year. Thanks for all you do, guys! (Oh, how I anticipate hearing Nancy say "have a blessed day!" at the end of every video. Love her!)
This is so true I do as well love hearing HAVE a Blessed Day
Me too. Thought it was just me. Feels good.
I just wanted to thank you guys for sharing your gardening knowledge. I failed at growing bell peppers for SEVERAL years, never quit. Watched your video on bell peppers and last summer I had the best harvest that I've EVER had. Thanks for all that you do, Blessings to you and your Family.
Wow best potato video I’ve seen so far. Thank you. I have corrections to make lol
A great video. We live in Central Florida and have grown the Red Pontiac potatoes. They do great here. We've gotten huge harvests. Our potato planting time is January. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks.
We love Pontiac Reds. I especially love them in the crock pot with a little roast👍👍👍
I say God bless Hollis and Nancy!!
I found your channel when I started growing potatoes. 3rd round and getting better!
Hollis and Nancy, I just love watching all your videos, they are very informative. I wish I could get Black Kow, they don’t sell it in my area😔. Another thing I love you guys is giving us a prayer at the end of your videos. I always say them with you🙏🏻❤️
Still get a small meal brother little is much when God in it God bless you guys
Yes, thanks for this video about taters in buckets. Love your attitude.
I enjoy the timing of the video and his voice , information and those funny phrases.
Thanks for watching! We have a lot of really good videos coming out this year that you will probably like. Stay tuned and welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶
I love that you still have an Oceans east bucket!!
You have a beautiful property. Thank you for your videos. I appreciate that you show beginning to harvest. I know that has to be a challenge to put together. Happy planting
Separating my chits today. May God bless you, Nancy and your whole family on this day.
Nancy and Hollis and of course Bing Bing. 2022 must be the year so good to see y’all. 🇺🇸🙏🏼✝️🐶
Hollis, I appreciate y'alls videos. You make gardening fun. Talk about earthly rewards! You get to harvest everything with Ms Nancy which is the best bonus in this world. Where's your secret sauce?? Drop some minnows in those buckets. Nah, Ik Ik why not. God bless y'all. Can't wait to see what 2022 holds
Thank you H n N for another great episode! ❤ love you guys!
Loved seeing the whole process! Thank you Hollis and Nancy for sharing. 🥰
Thanks for encouraging us!
God be praised for the harvest. It's fun when you garden. It's not always what we expect but it is always a blessing. Stay encouraged and keep going. GOD BLESS
Thank you for sharing and the encouragement.
Have a Blessed week.
Thank you for this video.. just what I was looking for:) God Bless You both!!
Love your positive attitude. Thanks for all of the information.
Y’all are just too amazing. Such sweet, down home people. And the work y’all put into these videos and your garden, just wow. It is very much appreciated!! Thank y’all, and God bless you both and all you do 🙂
Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️🐶
I love that you show the good and the bad. I remember in the first five gallon bucket potato videos you mentioned this variety is a determinate variety. Even a small harvest gives you a better tasting potato than any store bought one. I have a couple spots in the yard where I throw potatoes that have sprouted in the pantry. So glad y'all are back!!
Thank you for being such a loving subscriber and a part of our homestead family. I appreciate all your encouraging comments you always leave for us. It means more to us than you will ever know. Have a peaceful week. Hope you continue to enjoy the videos. The best is yet to come ❤️
I had a surprise in my garden. I put a sprouted potato peel in the garden and forgot about it. I noticed it had sprouted above the soil, but paid no attention. The other day i dug in and found one big potato had grown from just that little peel.
@@HollisNancysHomestead 🙂 ahhh... well, it's easiest to tell the truth. I get a ton out your content, from the variety of plants, the make-your-owns, the recipes (rewatched American Kimchi last night! How great to have a non-stinky Kimchi option!) to your mix-your-own. This past year I got less planting done. This year, I'm targeting a new container planter grow table based on your plans you shared. 😊👍 I'll send you photos when I'm done!
@@gerrymarmee3054 it's a joyful surprise, right? I started growing potatoes on purpose because of just such a happy accident as yours!
Love your videos and especially you prayer thanking God!
Golden advice and technique! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I always go right to you for advice when I am about to plant something new. Your videos get right to the point with helpful information and have improved my container gardening immeasurably! I would love to see you plant a flower garden too. Many thanks!
Thanks for the video, planted my first 2 containers today!
We plant in containers too. Have y'all tried deadheading the blooms? 🌼 We pick the blooms to redirect plant energy away from making seeds to growing tubers 🌞 God bless y'all 💖
Glad to watch this. It has been a goal of mine.
Thanks… it’s not always easy.
Bless you for your hard work. And great videos
I tried bucket potatoes last summer, it was hard going with a long drought in our area but I’m going to give it another try! Thanks again for all your wonderful videos and advice
I love your videos!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I’m in Florida too!! ❤️
Thank you so much for your info- I keep trying- Some harvests are good- some - well I keep trying!
Planting potatoes for the 1st time this year. Very excited about it.
You both are great, keep the videos coming. Bless you both
👍. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come
Thank u so much for this video u all do such great work may God richly Bless both of u and your Family
Great advice. I never thought of Florida as potato growing country. The kennebec is a maine potato and does excellent here in new England. I've grown bumper yields in some bizarre situations. Love your channel Hollis and Nancy. Well done!
I just adore you both! Glad you're adjusting to growing in Florida. Thank you for your videos, they are so incredibly helpful! God bless you all!
❤️❤️🐶
Thank you so much for all you do.
There are good people left in this world.
You are proof of that.
I thank God for all that I have and do.
God bless ,your work helps 🙏 so many..
Another great tutorial Hollis ... thank you and Nancy all that you share. I planted potatoes following your method and I got a good harvest.
👍👍👍
Thanks for the tip Hollis. I’ll be getting my potato seeds next month, I ordered 3 varieties , butterball is one but I forgot the other two lol.
Love your guys videos Nancy and Hollis! I have really enjoyed binge watching. . .so much great info!!! Thanks!
Thank you Casey❤️❤️❤️. So glad you are enjoying our channel. We have many new videos coming your way this year. Best of luck to your garden this spring. Have a peaceful weekend 🙏
Love all y'all's videos.. thanks for taking the time out to share your knowledge.
God bless
Thanks for watching! Have a peaceful week ❤️❤️🐶
Always love a good potato reveal.
Thanks for sharing. Stay blest!
Great video. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I will not give up!!!
Wonderful!
Hey guys, “keep on trucking”. Love your videos. Your wife is such a gem, too.
Thank you both for your video, they really help.
I just love yall! thank you for always sharing!!!
❤️❤️🐶
Great video
Everything you guys do is so neat and clean, thanks.
❤️👍
Looks about right for a potato harvest. I love my potatoes
You guys are literally the best. I love your videos and I especially love the message of Gods love you all provide.
God bless you Brittany❤️❤️🐶
I love the thoroughness in your videos and the progression. I never hear you talk about bugs. How do you keep the bugs away?
So happy tosee you both Badly blessed New Year!!
It was easy to grow anything in fertile Michigan soil. You plant it, it will grow. Having moved to a place that lacks fertile soil, (just a couple miles off of the Atlantic) your videos have taught me so very much. Love this channel and I'm really excited about my garden this year. Your videos are full of information and it's easy to digest.
Thanks for sharing
Your channel is great and informative. Thanks for the content. I've spent more money at Oceans East than i can count. Love the Chesapeake bay!!!
Hello! I just want to send some friendly love to you two today!
This is one of the first channels I followed since I reignited my passion for gardening 2 years ago. I have followed you ever since and I have loved seeing your homestead progress. The original potato series is actually what I started with and have had great harvests the last two years.
I am a 29 yr old single mom to a 7 yr old girl and a full time 5th grade teacher. Gardening these last two years has really changed so much within me from my relationship with my little girl, to knowing myself. I credit you two for also helping me use gardening to connect with God and deepen my faith.
Again, I appreciate the effort and work you two put in with your videos. Thank you and God bless you, your marriage and your homestead. ❤
nice potatoes never grown Kennebec variety before I might have to try growing them this year thanks for sharing that
Good to see you back at it
Thank you so much ❤️
It's freezing here now and I am so anxious for gardening again😊 as always thanks for your info!!!
I tend to get 2 or 3 large potatoes and a few small ones from one seed potato and I consider it a win!
Yep, I don’t usually expect too much from small containers. We like the buckets because Nancy can harvest a few at a time for meals. The new potatoes have a wonderful taste when cooked and harvested the same day. ❤️🥔❤️🥔❤️🥔
Thanks I’m going to try growing potatoes 🥔 this year. 👍🏽😋
I knew I could trust this man when he said pataters
I just got my taters planted today got them in a little late
Hey there Hollis and Nancy. I live in a urban area near Orlando, FL. Thus I am very interested in your wonderful videos. Knowing what part of the year you're planting each crop would be a great help. Would love to share with you pictures of how things grow. God Bless you and your ministry.
So cute an ending with a happy Bing Bing ...
I love y'all complete growing guides! I know they take a lot of time and work! Thanks so much 😁 I planted container Potatoes last season. I actually have some I'm going to plant this season as seed potato.
Thanks for watching. Best of luck to you with your Taters this spring ❤️
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thanks
I went back and watched your growing season from 5 years ago in the 20gal
buckets. 3 of 3 brought a question to mind. You drew out and explained the
different stages of growth and explained the "green line" Also the difference
between determinants and indeterminants. Kennebec's being determinant,
could you stagger plant your seed potatoes at different levels and possibly
get more potatoes because they're growing at different levels? Possibly not
crowding each other out? Just a thought but I think we may try that with one
bucket of each variety this year to see what happens. We have some 10gal
buckets may start 2 potatoes on about 3"s and 2 more at about 6"s.
TYFS Mark n Rosa
Right, I will try this out. I don't containers, but I found potatoe growing bags I bought a few years ago. Got some seed potatoes which I can now plant. It's a variety also known as "Christmas Potatoes" over here in the UK. Got some good soil. Instead of mulch, for the top layer, I will try using crushed cockle shells. That should also deal with the slugs. I have also planted some carrots, leeks and ... celery and a couple of garlic into the same container. Just realised that I need to start keeping a log of what is in which container :-) . All fast growing so should enjoy them in a few weeks.
Your videos are really interesting and educational. I enjoyed the one in which you explain what actually happens below the ground with potatoes in detail, using a drawing. Thank you.
What an encouraging video! Sorry your potatoes didn't come out as good as you hoped, but it made me feel better about my potato disaster! I had a dozen of those big blue buckets and it rained everyday here in Orlando! I didn't get a single one! But after watching this, you've given me the encouragement to try again! God bless you both!
Yes sir, I have lost many Tater crops to rain. The weather really affects them. This was not my best harvest at all but always thankful for anything the Lord gives us.
You two are so sweet:) No matter what happens, we just keep on counting our blessings:):):):)
Great video thanks for sharing
New to the channel. Very interesting video. Thanks.
What you say is so true. Here it is January 2022 and I have containers of bushy potatoes that I robbed for Christmas and New Years new potatoes. They are still healthy and happy. Never had that happen before. Some years all I get are little ones, some years big harvest, some not much but since I use ends with eyes from market potatoes, it is what it is and I am lucky for what I get. The Almighty provides and I am grateful…
My sweet potatoes pushed soil out or the 20g bucket this year .best yield to date. I will be adding bone this year.
Love your videos!
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️🐶
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
All the way from Virginia
Sounds great, can you explain where and how you stored/started the potatoe slips.
Instructions, tips, and moral (is that spelled right?) Anyhow, every video you make is a blessed day.
Peace.
You kidding me, last year was horrible do to the rain. But like always not every year is the same. God bless!
👍
I like the Lynyrd Skynyrd themed song you have in your introduction.
👍
If you would go by the almanac and plant your potatoes when the signs are in the thigh, knees or calf you should get some great results.
We have gotten the same production with White Rose potato varietie
I would like to see a video about the structures and growing racks you've built. When you grow in the 20-gallon containers, how many seed potatoes do you put in each one?
I'm in 9A on the other side of the state - my potatoes were a complete loss. Beautiful greens but a handful of spuds. I blame the weather, also. Got more ordered for this spring - can't give up or I will not even get a handful!
Y'all have me itching for the spring
😂
Hi Hollis & Nancy! I’ve been watching your videos for a couples of years. How much water do the potatoes need in the beginning and throughout growing season? Can I reuse the soil, after harvesting the potatoes? Thank you, for sharing your knowledge with all of us. God blessings.
Hollis, have you experienced any red stems on your 5 gal potato buckets? I have 1 of 2 plants in a 5 gal bucket that has a red stem but leaves are green and healthy. They are indoors under a grow light with red and blue LED's, 3 light Spectrum on a timer setting of 9 hrs (settings are 3-9-12 hrs) My red potato chits have been growing since 3/1 and are now 19" tall. Thanks for all you and Nancy do for us. I really enjoy all your videos!
Many blessings in 2022
Thank you. Have a blessed day ❤️
I have not been to successful with growing food but am so excited after watching your channel. There is hope for me yet! Question: do you have any videos or lists of the materials needed to make the wooden holders that you put your buckets in? I am not able to get on my knees so I thought I would ask my husband to make something like that a bit taller where it would be easier for me to work the plants. Your thoughts? Thanks so much and may Gods favor continue to go before you.

Great vid! Would it help to add air holes in the sides?
I love what you do and your content. I've always wanted to see a tour video of your Florida Homestead!!! Would that be possible? God bless.
Yes sir, we are planning one for end of May
Really enjoy your channel. After seeing where you were fishing, realized we are in the same area.
I’ve learned a lot about growing in containers. The one thing I haven’t picked up from you is the seasons for planting each crop. I’m most interested in potatoes but others as well. Is there a strict schedule? I know you can’t do much in Florida in our hot summers. How about winter?
Go by the predicted frost schedule. ua-cam.com/video/R3bTp-PRTzQ/v-deo.html
For my potatoes a generic rule of thumb down here is around Valentines Day
Hollis, have you ever had your potato plants set fruit? Mine did this past Spring, as did a friend's. It was fascinating!! I guess weather conditions have to be just right for it to happen. Typically, we skip right over Spring and jump straight into Summer here in NE Oklahoma, so it's rare to see, but last spring was kinda chilly. I guess that's all it takes to make a happy potato plant. And pounds per plant, it was my best potato harvest yet! Good ol Adirondack Blue, my very favorite! 😊
Only once. You had a great year👍👍👍
