I really wish you'd make content again. Your stuff is great! You're a phenomenal teacher! I hope you're doing well!
good to have you back
I’m glad to be back :)
Cheers from my southern Alberta garden. Love your content.
Stephen, you are back! Glad to see you brother!
Thanks my friend !! It’s good to be back. How have you been ?
@@AlbertaUrbanGarden I’m doing well. I have been experimenting with a different, long format/documentary style with my videos lately. I felt doing just regular how to videos just didn’t jive with me much anymore. Still trying to see what direction to continue.
Dude, you are back!!! I really missed your videos for the last few years, was worried about ya, thought you might have froze way up there in Canada. Biologists make the best gardeners, this is my favorite gardening channel by far. Glad to see ya back, hope all is well, hope your garden was ok for a few years without you (or maybe your garden is fine and you just didn't have a camera or internet) :P
My absence was nothing more than than life getting busy. The garden did well the entire time and now I’m glad I could get back to it.
Heck ya Stephen, nice to see you posting again!
I’m glad to be back albeit on a limited basis
You have great soil, good work!
ThNk you. I have a few videos on how to build it.
I have 3 varieties growing in the ground and in containers using straw instead of soil. So far i have some healthy looking plants that I hope will produce a good harvest. Thanks for the tips!
Let me know how it goes!
I've never had luck with potato plants, thank you for the information, I will give it another shot
I am glad I could help!
Was that B-roll filmed at the U of A farm community garden? I grew up around there back in the day and it's nice to see it again.
The B roll was from the sponsor of the video. It does however look similar to the UofA farm. I also spent a lot of time at the one in the city and the one north of St. Albert.
I'm glad you are back, I have missed you
Great tips
Great tips, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to comment
Hey man hope you doing well !
Thanks for sharing 🥔🥔🥔👍
Just noticed the channel hasn't had a new video in a long time. I hope all is well..
I use bottomless 5 gallon buckets in soil by my fence and tie up the green growth. I make layers (3 or 4) with the potatoes as I cover each layer up to the top. Tons of potatoes!
Nice I would love to see photos
Great information
I am glad I could help my friend!
Thank you for the info , I'm trying to grow a years worth of potatoes this year ! Wish me luck :)
Good luck my friend. A video I am doing later in the year may help with storage :)
good luck!
@@LittleGardenSK Thank you 😊
This year in my potatoe bags I put twice as much soil mix as last year and I filled and mulched to the top when I planted them. They are all coming up now takes a couple weeks depending on the temperature
Same in the ground I put them just under the soil surface and mulched about a foot with leaves and straw right at planting time. Ya
Let me know how they do Doug !
Nice video ❤️ subscribed from Grande Prairie ❤️
Thanks my friend. We were just up I GP last weekend !
The best harvest I've had from one seed potato was 7.75 lbs...It was vulunteer and i gave it plenty of space. This year I"ve got a vulunteer from that same plant. I'm wondering how that will do. So now I'm guessing I had 8 lbs from the plant from last year cause obviously I missed one. 😃
Lol nicely done. I moved all of my compost into the trench this year and have not noticed any volunteers yet lol. But 8lbs per plant is amazing !
@@AlbertaUrbanGarden It was only that one plant... Generally I average about 2.25 to 2.5 lbs per plant. I grow kennebec potatoes
I’m planting more potatoes in the heavy clay soil in my front yard today. The greens from the last batch planted two weeks ago just emerged yesterday. Hopefully this can break up the hard soil a little, and I will never need to buy potatoes again!
It certainly will help! Some of the photos I used while talking about that are in just pure heavy clay with no organic material. They did very well.
I bought Earth Apples this year to grow in my grow bags! I also let them know that I found out about them through your channel =) But I'm worried that I put them too low in the bag =/ Guess we'll see in September XD
I am sure they will be fine as long as they are growing now! Thanks for letting them know ! I really appreciate that!
so are you done making videos?
I plan to make a few every year.
hey can you not start putting on beginmers videos
Hey
