Can You Plant Potatoes in the Fall? | Our Success Story

We've tried growing potatoes in the fall for 3-4 years without any success. But this year, we finally did it!

Join us as we harvest our fall potatoes just in time so that the freezing temperatures don't turn them to mush.

"Tater time is over"...I just laughed out loud! Congratulations on a successful fall potato harvest!

I think the bolting mustards are from the fertilizer, shorter day length, and cooler average temp. We've planted them as a cover for years and noticed that happen every year.

Those radish look delicious! If you was and slice them, they can be sauteed alone or with any combination of meat and or veggies. They have a pleasantly sweet and "turnipish" flavor. I did this last night with chicken and kale using a Spanish seasoning of sauteed onions, carrots, onions, and end of season tomatoes. Delicious!!!

It's important to remember that potatoes have determinate and indeterminate varieties. Yukon is a determinate potato and should not be hilled up. It can cause stem rot.

Positive outcome with 2nd potato planting. I love how your family is involved. Mrs. LDF asks all the right questions and makes good comments on the topic at hand. She is the voice of us viewers! It makes me want to plant a second potato crop late next year here in SWFL.

Taters free for the digging. Amazon has lots of claw gloves for Brooklyn's digging technique. Makes a great stocking stuffer plus they're handy for back scratching until tater time rolls around again. I always chuckle when ya'll talk about cold weather. My guess would be that neither of you have ever changed over to a set of snow tires. My theory on the flowering mustard is that it's just a tad bit drier on top of the hills compared to the "valleys", just enough to trigger them to flower.

Weather is important -- we are in south Georgia also. Keep talking about how weather impacts crops and garden work. LOVE the dirt on everyone's hands!!!

Man I’ve had the LDF withdrawals lately and really did miss my weekly videos. I was so excited to get a notice that you posted a new one today. And just when I thought Titus wasn’t going to say anything about “I need to tell you something”, he produces a gem of a comment - “Tater time is over!!” Another quote that would look good on a t-shirt. Glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving, and looking forward to the next video.

love seeing the whole family getting involved! TATER TIME!!

Make a layer of the small taters in the bottom of a cassarole dish and lay a chicken on top and roast the whole thing! The taters will roast in a shower of chicken fat and everyone eats like a king! Never complain about small taters!

Best chicken and taters ever!!

[justacountrygirl]

Congratulations, I knew it was possible as I’m able to get two crops if I want. Enjoy your taters!

My favorite video so far, I am retired now and have all 4 Grandchildren come over to help me harvest in my garden, it has become such a popular ritual with them that they ask what they can pick when they come over, the secret was a bumper sweet potato crop this year and the more they dug the more they got into it, bragging rights when they found a really big one ! Our Children / Grandchildren are the most valuable possession that we were ever Blessed with and wouldn't trade them for anything, I have a fishing partner of 35 years that never got married and when he comes down for Holidays it's obvious now what he missed out on and you can see that now he knows what he missed out on, what a shame all that money and no one to love !

First! 🙂
I'm going to try planting potatoes about a month earlier than normal, mid to late January in Zone 7b NC. I hope to use row covers to protect the foliage from extreme frosts. I'm not sure if it will work, but I've got plenty of seed taters. If I need to, I'll just replant in late February.

Titus is the cutest! Thank you as always for a great video.

[brokencage]

I wrap my seed potatoes with newspaper and store them in the vegetable drawer in my fridge for 6-7 months for planting next season. I usually have perfect chits when I pull them out.

[HandsintheDirt]

That’s cool Travis I have a few volunteers growing in containers I will see what happens. 🌱💚

[charlastar]

My husband suggested that the potatoes may have deprived the musterd of nutrients, causing it to go to seed earlier.

[blainecelestaine]

Its good that your wife asks clarifying quest.

Nice to have you all back !!! Funny ending to "Tatter Time !"
