Gardening - Grow Veggies and Fruits for you and Your Family

Why ugly produce is good for you….. In our home garden our fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers are sometimes less than picture perfect because we do not use any pesticides or herbicides and  are grown in real dirt with only a  minimal amount of  fertilizer. We harvest by hand, take our good time doing so, and pick only the freshest produce or flowers. Our weed control is all mechanical with a tiller, and or done by hand. We also grow mostly heirloom varieties of veggies that have been selected for how good they taste versus how good they look! You'll also find more of my gardening videos online at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9A53FBC40A46C175

Home Grown Potatoes

This is one of my favorite videos. I will show you how to grow your own delicious potatoes. I had never grown potates before and I thought it would be hard, but it turned out to be a great experience. And you could not beat the taste. I can never go back to store bought potatoes again.

 

The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum L. The word "potato" may refer either to the plant itself or, more commonly, the edible tuber.[1] In the Andes, where the species is indigenous, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region approximately four centuries ago,[2] and have since become an integral part of much of the world's food supply. It is the world's fourth-largest food crop, following maize, wheat, and rice.[3] (SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato)

Grow Your Own Epic Tomatoes

I love home grown tomatoes! They have so much flavor. Look how big the ones are in my video. One of the secrets to growing tomatoes is not to overwater or underwater. Another secret is to feed them good plant food.
