  1. Didn't I hear you say in a prior video that your farm is in New Jersey? I watch a lot of your stuff and try to imagine my methods in comparison to your seasons if that makes sense. I'm in the Florida panhandle and pretty much everything grows…..some year round. I have been experimenting with what grows well without insecticide …..bugs are rampant…fortunately so are their predators. Currently the only thing I spray (sparingly) is BT when things start getting out of hand. Anyway back to the question…is it New Jersey? ( P.S. for your watchers…most folks don't know that there are mountains in New Jersey 🙂

  2. my potatoes (russets) are green and blooming but when I pulled 2 plants I had 0 potatoes what can I do? I started with a mixture of top soil and compost then did a thick layer of wood chips and leaves

  3. We like to pre half cook our potatoes. Bring pan full of water and potatoes to a boil, turn off stove and cover. When water is cool, drain and chill. The next day you will be ready to make hashbrowns, American fries (potato pancakes) or jojos. Nice early yield . I like the co-plant idea. Nice dirt too.

  4. How the you keep the "potatoe plague" away in organic gardening ? I don't know if that is the right name in english. It's the deseas where the leafs get black spots en the whole plant dies. Tomatoe plants can also get this. It's a fungus deseas.

  5. Thought you might of grown your potatoes on the Ruth Stout or back to Eden method so you didn’t have to dig your soil? Appreciate your thoughts on why you don’t. Regards
