I have been watching webcajun vidios for almost 20 years, Its where I want to be, what I want to do.

I love how ya'll work together - even the little ones have a part to do. Reminds me of when my Granddad would bring in the harvest. We'ld all sit around shelling peas or whatever needed to be done. It was about the only time we kids could listen to the "grownups" talking. Good memories!

I wish I could have spent one day on your farm. The Angels are eating good. RIP

I love the way you use your equipment to make jobs simpler. Love your videos :)

I hope that you folks are still gardening there. The sad part is that we all don't live on this earth forever, and sometimes we leave this earth before our time is up here..

The way things are going folks will have to step back and return to a simpler way of life. Imagine neighbors helping neighbors, we’d all be better off…..Donald

You are an awesome gardener, thanks for posting these great videos!

I never get tired of watching your videos thanks for sharing your knowledge

I love that big garden and how the family all kicks in and helps out such a good feeling getting your food fresh grown and in before winter not having to by from a store !!Love these videos!!

Great as always. Love the assembly line you've got going!

Yall must have one heck of a freezer (or 3)! Nice harvest and teamwork.

Miss you bud.

The help was very much appreciated. Thanks........ Donald

What a great harvest. How cool is it to see the family helping. Molly eating potato...lol super vid. Thanks.

Its nice to see the whole family working in garden, it good for the young ones to help lets them know what work is and where food comes from ,God bless

Yes it is nice to have the young ones in the garden. Hoping they pick up something they can use later in life……Donald

I miss you Donald.

Got the family involved on this one I see. Great job!!! Enjoy watching these.

Watching these on a Saturday night! nothing better than this. Donald; you never knew your videos would reach New Zealand did you! Cheers

Actually this variety is "Candy". If you chop them right out of the garden, no tears. Glad you enjoyed........ Donald

I love your videos... looks like you are having fun... Love the dog... Molly.. I had a Boxer named Molly...Just a heads up, onions are toxic to dogs... but she made off with a potato... that was really cute!! keep the good videos coming!!

@Cajunize ... Glad you got yourself a piece of land. Now you can fix it up the way you like it. It's nice when you can build your own equipment to make things easier........Donald

Its good u have all that family help..mine are too lazy to do all that, lol..they would want me to bag it up and deliver it to them, hahaha, plus they like to eat out nearly every meal and hardly cook...tough times will be hitting them soon doing that, tho.

Having the right tools does make it easier. Glad you enjoyed ......... Donald

That chop wizard makes processing a lot easier. Glad you enjoyed........ Donald

LOL Molly :-) I have 4 labs that absolutely love potatoes and will steal them in a heartbeat. Of course, they also steal pears, apples, carrots, turnips, shoes.......Haha.

Fresh potatoes sure taste good. Hope you harvest a big crop........ Donald

Molly is smart, I like that part

LMAO.....sneaky pup! My dog eats squash outta my garden, thought he was the only dog who enjoyed fresh veggies but I was wrong.

thanks for sharing:) glad to see the fam hard at work! congrats on the bountaful harvest :D

Today those two dogs were eating watermelon. Hope your garden does well and thanks for the kind words....... Donald

Yes... those choppers do come in handy....... Donald

love your videos. Good luck with the tomatoes in the contest

@DippinSonOfALee1865 ... You're welcome, glad you enjoy the videos.....Donald

@Heretharbemonsters ... those camo buckets were sent to me by a friend from TX, Fulton. Said he was tired of seeing me carry stuff in my shirt or pockets when harvesting. Said I needed to look more professional. LOL I use them all the time....... Donald

Amen to that..... To simpler times:)

@SouthernGardner ...The buckets were given to me by a good friend in Texas.......Donald

Precious family! Molly & Lucy too! Sooo Cute ! I didn't see ya'll crying, so I guess those were Vidalia Onions! LOL Sending Greetings from Georgia!

molly is such a charater does she ever get full. your daughter and me look alot alike. :)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed......... Donald

I'm in Zone 8 and planted my seeds (directly into the garden) a couple of days ago. They will be ready to transplant around February......... Donald

Great video, love your videos so much. What a precious family to help you, please send them my regards as a faithful viewer. I bought that chopper due to your recommendation, I use it a lot. You should get % of sales!!!! Dogs are entertaining, my dog eats sweet peas, then throws them up, weird... Here in Mich. we have a long way to go before potatoes and onions are ready for harvest. I only planted a few dozen, first garden in 15 years, and first potatoes ever. Keep the videos coming.

@GardenNewbie ... No tears when chopping them up fresh out the garden.....Donald

Amazing video as usual! Your buddy, Orly

A tractor makes a large garden possible, makes it a lot easier and fun too. Harvesting is when the work really starts........ Donald

@Jerrid3 ... yes we do keep fresh onions for a couple of months after harvest. I won't say the frozen onions taste like "fresh out the garden" but they are good. Give it a try....... Donald

Thanks........ Donald

That was my grand daughter in the vid. She is a good helper when they come visit. Compost Tea ... I mix in a gal. of worm castings to about 15 gals. of water. Run an air pump with air stones in the tank and let brew for 24 hours. That's all there is to it. Just started using it this year so not exactly sure just how well it works yet. Will be doing some experimenting with it this fall and next year........ Donald

Thanks Buddy. Yeah Molly is the smart one of the two, she waited until the potatoes got bigger........ Donald

Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos. Molly is the smart one, she waited till I was a ways down the row......... Donald

@DERAJ13 that depends on the variety for both potatoes and onions. That ranges from 1 - 3 months on average. If you chop and freeze your onions they will last well over 6 months. Potatoes can be canned and they'll last a year or more........ Donald

Molly is beautiful

Here in Louisiana ... I have my onion seed planted and about 2 inches tall. They just went through a snow which didn't appear to hurt them. Potatoes here are planted in January. Potatoes need to be planted directly into the garden. Onions can be started in containers, indoors with plenty sun light.......... Donald

We usually bush hog the tops off the potatoes before we dig them. Don't know if it's better, just the way we've always done it. Anyway thanks for the great videos!

Sure was. Will be starting some more this September........ Donald

It doesn't happen nearly often enough around here. Wish they could be around all the time....... Donald

Hey Don here If you decide to sell your land, give me a call haha. I love you vids, good info and simple. Keep it up bud.

Thanks for the tip.....Donald

i love it

Cool!

Thanks for the video. Please show us how to store the potatoes for winter. thanks

They are a pain sometimes but you love em anyway……Donald

you are very welcome..

Yes and she enjoyed every bite. LOL ...... Donald

When I planted them it was Lucy stealing the seed potato. Molly waited till they were bigger. LOL ......... Donald

Five Stars!!

@10ga ...Since we can't have cellars here in Louisiana I have to store them in crates in the utility room. They don’t last long. This year I started canning them which should solve that problem……Donald

That's a fast way to prosse your onions. Never done it before.

Yes they kept me busy........ Donald

I use about a bag of onions a month so it's really not enough, have 3 families to supply. Son uses more than that. Some of the potatoes will be canned for the winter and some to plant in August........... Donald

answered my own question. Just found your video on curing onions.

Once we put up enough for the family I'll start giving some and selling some. Works out well and helps pay some of the expenses........... Donald

@96racerking ... it goes in the compost pile. The green tops you saw being cut were green onions and will be used to season food........ Donald

I have a bad back myself which is why I use the golf cart so much......... Donald

Molly stole a tater!

All the ones you saw in the bags were frozen. Naturally a fresh onion out the garden is the best but the frozen ones aren't that bad. Bet you could hardly tell the difference......... Donald

Wow! I love how the dog stole a potato....... Y'all need to get a vacuum sealer for all that veggie goodness, if you don't already have one:-)

These potatoes will all be gone by winter. I do plan on planting another crop in August. I would just store them in the sack at room temp.......... Donald

OMG thats hilarious!!! Cant believe i just watched a dog stealing a potato and better yet eat it!!! hhahahaha priceless!

We do mostly canning. The vacuum sealer we use for meats…..Donald

Lots of work but it pays off in the end........ Donald

Will try to plant a fall crop next month....... Donald

You could wait till they dry out (potatoes) but I would check a few and see if they're not ready now. Try digging a few onions as well........ Donald

Hey Buddy, got 2 of those peppers coming up. Hope I can get to plant em........ Donald

Both Molly and Lucy like potatoes and sometimes a tomato too........ Donald

@wvfarmerrich ...Thanks for the tip......Donald

It can be ... just takes time....... Donald

If you cut these up right out the garden ... no tears. This year I grew between 750 and 800 lbs. of onions. That's a big pile. LOL ....... Donald

I garden mostly to be self sufficient but do sell some of my vegetables to help pay expenses. How much land depends on just what you want to do. I have 7 acres and could raise all our vegetables, meat and eggs. Feeding your livestock would be a big expense if you had to buy all your feed. Best to have enough land to grow most of that as well. It would take more than 7 acres IMHO......... Donald

@AsphaltCowboy57 ... my neighbors have martin houses. I have a few blue bird houses around the place but none for the martins.........Donald

@Burpeeseed ... yes it is....... Donald

Great video! About how deep do the roots of potato plants grow?

That was my daughter-n-law. She helps out when she can........ Donald

Yes I was behind the camera most of the time. That was me doing the cutting though. I keep telling them how much work it is holding the camera while they harvest but they're not buying it. LOL ....... Donald

We use mostly cut onions so when we need some just reach in the bag and get a hand full.......... Donald

That was 1 of the 5 rows I planted........ Donald

LOL @ Molly stealing taters! My mama has one of those choppers and she just loves it to death! It saved us tons of time putting stuff in the freezer last season.

@geekyboy2009 ... I plant Red Lasoda and most are average size. I can't remember harvesting any huge ones. I think Yucon Gold would be somewhat larger.........Donald

Donald, just curious how you store your potatoes long term? Always enjoy your videos. Thanks and God Bless from east Tennessee.

@bighomie229 ...They are very common around here cause we also use them for Crawfish. I get em local.......Donald
