That's a wonderful first year of spuds and yes, fresh potatoes are wonderful. I particularly like freshly dug baby potatoes. Loved all the humorous little bits in this video and watching you all work as a family on your harvest. Reading a story out loud whilst the others do the dishes is a lovely idea Bri :)

Hello Art n Bri and all your precious kiddos. I've been binge watching you guys from my hospital bed and truley loving your family and your beautiful homestead. As I'm always in my bed t night watching on my smart TV, there is no way I can subscribe on there so today when I was finished up with my work in the kitchen, I was determined to come on line and subscribe and let you know how you make me smile when I'm alone. I'll try keeping in touch now, I already saw the video when your second pup was found and that one made me SOOOOO happy. Give the kids my love n you two stay as honest and simple as you are now, that makes you very special. XOXO Gloria a 70 yr old granny.

Watching your precious family, especially your beautiful children so full of life and love, is like sitting in front of a warm fireplace on a cold night. Your videos fill us with hope for the future. Thanks for sharing your riches with us. BTW, I love red or white potatoes almost anyway you can fix them. Red potatoes pan fried with butter and herbs are great. And I always sneak a few pieces of raw potato out of the batch like I used to do when I was helping my mother in the kitchen as a kid, been doing that for almost 70 years. Love it. Thanks for the memories.

Great family, great practice and this is what my wife and I call real fun. I like how everyone in the family is engaged. This keeps the children active, teaches them to work and make use of their backyards, gardens and any available space rather than run to the grocery stores which are full of costly GM foods. This saves you a lot. Keep it up and all the best.

Tiny new potatoes fried up crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Delish! One year we harvested our potatoes and left them in the sun to harden. Our young teen son and daughter were supposed to rinse them off, put them in baskets after they got home from school. However, when I came home, from work there were potatoes all over the yard and I had a broken window. :( They had gotten into an argument, started throwing potatoes at each other and threw one through the kitchen window. We refer to this as The Great Potato War. LOL

Oh yes, i love fresh potatoes. My family grew an acre sized garden and potatoes were at least a third of the crop. We stored them in the potato room in the cellar a 10 X 10 by 8 foot high. The potatoes filled the room stacked to the ceiling. That would last our family of 9 until spring planting. We also stored carrots in the cellar. You top, clean and air dry the carrots. In a large wood box layer clean sand, a layer of carrots that aren't touching one another then cover with another layer of sand until the box is full. The carrots will last months just as good as they came out of the ground.

My grandparents lived in the Ozarks until I was in my 20s and my grandpa's pride and joy was the half acre potato garden right behind the house. Literally, nothing but potatoes. Come harvest time they'd have racks and racks in the basement floor to ceiling of spuds. Oh. My. God. Those potatoes were the best I've ever had. I think they were just regular reds but they tasted amazing. Your video about your harvest brought back really good memories (however my grandpa used a tractor to harvest his taters!)

Lovely video. Yes, I have tasted real FRESH potatoes. I spend months of the year in Portugal, central, and all my neighbors have their yard with a similar garden. Their extra crop are the grapes and we make wine. Everything else is from mother Earth: garluc,onions,celery,potatoes,beans of many colors,tomatoes of different shapes and colors, lettuce,oranges,lemons,apples,pears,bay leaves (a giant bush),rosemary,figs,peaches,and much more. Year round work but worth every inch. I live in Florida as well so I enjoy fresh food,then must search on farmers market for similar food. Thanks for sharing. You have a precious family.

Growing up over here in blighty my father had 2 allotments almost all put to growing potatoes. We would have a huge harvest all stored in paper sacks at a friends farm. They would be bartered for meat, logs, other veggies, and services like chimney cleaning amongst the local community. Back at home we also had a garden with salad / new potatoes which would be dug up and only cooked fresh. Can't beat fresh spuds from the garden! Thanks for showing us your lovely garden.

Yes I have ;) totally lovely . Used to have an allotment of land, with potatoes , runner beans and herbs. As was hinted at in this video, the trick to a higher yield is to thoroughly dig over the growing area first. Then place the rows. In hot weather they need plenty of water, and for bigger ones I used seaweed extract. In Ireland, it was traditional to gather seaweed from the beach for their potato crop. If you have the time, the extra watering and feeding pays off and you can achieve large jacket potato sizes plus a bigger yield :) Quicker to foliar feed them with a sprayer if you have one. Lovely video , lovely people ;)

I grow them every year, not enough to store, but we eat them during late summer. One thing I noticed was you dug your potatoes to early. Those plants were still green and growing. You could have gotten a bigger crop had you let them sit until the tops die off. When the plant turns brown, that's when you harvest them. I don't grow enough to store so I purchase them in Oct. If you store them to early, they will rot before you eat them all. They like to be cold and dark and dry, to store well. There's always next year.

Oh yes, we ate a lot of fresh potatoes. When we lived in East Texas my father-n-law planted on 4 acres. We planted 100 lbs of potatoes and harvested many many lbs. We would set bags of potatoes by the mailbox and people would come by and put money in the mailbox for a sack of potatoes. We also sold them to the local stores and canned many more lbs of them. With 3 kids to feed, we bunch bunch of 'em. I live around Galveston now and it rains so much that potatoes won't grow-they just rot.
