Laura sometimes talks about how certain plants give her nostalgia. For me it is planting potatoes. My dad would walk down the row of freshly tilled soil and toss the seed potatoes and I would follow behind with my bare feet and step on them to bury them in the soil. I remember the smell of the garden and the cool dirt between my toes. Thanks to GA for reigniting my love of gardening and helping me find the peaceful place of having my hands (and feet) in the soil and watching the beautiful things grow โค

Yay it's time for ground covers! Such a testament to how much you do for your gardens. Finishing touches and hopefully mulching will be less labor after they grow in!
I was imagining your cats either taking over your YouTube tube or really making their own youtube channel ๐. What is it about cats that I'm so mesmerized. Hang in there you are working so hard. I wear your GA sweater and long sleeve shirt at work in the Emergency Department I work in (nurse, here). I love making connections with my patients and there's no better platform than yours!โคโค

So happy to tune in this morning to find youโre planting potatoes! I appreciate the information. I had thrown some old small Yukons in my compost pile. When leaves started coming up I potted everything. Weโll see how it goes.
Thanks for taking us along - GA videos are the first I watch every morning!

I've never found that hilling potatoes creates a heavier yield. Few potato varieties are indeterminate, and good luck finding that info in any way besides trial and error. But, the new potatoes form above the seed potato. So if you are not careful, the soil will erode and you will end up with exposed potatoes. And we all know those turn green and taste like soap. So continual hilling ensures that your harvest is well covered.

Laura I absolutely love your channel. Itโs so encouraging everyday ๐ the flower bed next to the driveway/raised bed area, you planted begonias around the trees, it would be so pretty to plant the same begonias in those gorgeous urns. (My only request) your love of family and gardening inspires me. I get up every morning looking forward to your post and out in my garden I go! Happy gardeningโฆand Iโll see you in the next video ๐๐๐

Just a tip my father taught me when growing potatoes . When your potatoe plant start blooming if you pinch off the blooms if puts more growth into the potatoes instead of the plant . I've did this for years . He would have been 113 this yr .
