DO THIS BEFORE PLANTING POTATOES!

The weather is warming here in Georgia and it's almost tater time! But first, we need to cut our seed potatoes and let them "suberize" for a few days prior to planting. We'll show you how to cut seed potatoes and talk about the perfect size for a seed potato piece.

We'll also start to get our raised beds ready for potato planting. We'll show you how we easily remove the drip tape in these raised beds and scratch the soil to prepare it for planting. Lastly, we'll take a walk to the greenhouse and plant a few more tomato varieties that we found in our seed collection.

I got my potatoes planted in-ground last weekend. One things for sure, .69 cents per pound for Red La Soda from my local feed store is a way better price than the 14.99 / lb plus shipping I paid for online potatoes. I wish the local feed stores would carry more varieties to choose from.

I love listening to anyone who knows what they are talking about. You are one of those people. Thanks.

Thumbs up for keeping your knife sharp!

[lawrencekeech]

Small taters I plant whole. Larger ones, my grandad passed down to cut them into cubes. Sorta like you did cutting in half, but not to leave a flat surface. Like a pentagon, but with a rounded top.

When asked why, “idk soil contact. Just do it it works.” So I just do it lol

[nancyplank]

Thank you Travis!! Another awesome video!! Appreciate all you wonderful
It's Tater time--after the rain!

[brokencage]

I'v been running some rose gold. if your ground gets to warm some might break dormancy. Been a good year for taters.

[patriotpop]

Not being an experienced gardener I chit taters with at least 2 sprouts per chit. That seems to work well.
(Best I recall that method came from a guy, Travis, two years ago).
Last year due to medical issues I lost my entire garden.
I have watched your gardening advice for close to two years + and have not been disappointed at all in your advice.

I'm in Toccoa Ga which is in the northeast part of the state. I am getting my eighteen gallon containers ready to plant but it's still too wet to put the potatoes in. I normally plant my potatoes whole but I think I will give your method a try this year. Really like watching your videos, I never get tired of learning new ways to plant.

[carricowherd]

Thanks for the tips. I'm planting regular potatoes for the first time this year. I'm in zone 7b sw Missouri. I did alright last year planting sweet potatoes. Best sweet taters I've ever eaten. ❤️

[stevefromthegarden]

Jim said the perfect size was 1.5 oz. That was a good interview. It will be another 6 weeks before I cut up my potatoes.

[harrytustin]

I like to throw a hand full of perlite in the hole and lay my seed potatoes on it. I think it helps to keep them from rotting if the soil gets to wet,

[aileensmith]

Ordered our papas (taters) three varieties from Wood Prairie Farms. Should be here the first of March. Although not as exact as you are doing. We will adjust more to your ways we plant the same. We also cut our papas much like you do. Probably be about mid March before we start our maters and peppers. That way we can put them out after the first of May. Good luck with yours!

[dahleenbonner]

I tried a tip for fire ants! Sprinkle flour on top of them! It works!

[humanbeing]

I’m so frugal to the point of growing potatoes from the peels that have eyes on them, successfully! Last year was a first and not a last.

[colliecoform]

I'm in the northeast so I haven't started anything yet. Will be doing peppers and sold season crops next week and some onions, then tomatoes, some herbs and then we are off to the races. I have a heater for my small greenhouse but I do try to hold off going crazy because I can run out of room quickly if up potting everything.

[Jules-nwzq]

You have an awesome set up! Way to early for me in the SEGA area. I so enjoy your time!

[viperaf]

i could never get them to grow, last year i tired grow bags and finally got some !!! try some grow bags i recommend 20 gallon

[tnjon]

Iam trying something new to me.
Growing potatoes from true seed. Seeds and such has an AAS potato seed Iam going to try it has good reviews. John S.

[joycebovee]

I have never used grits on my fire ant piles however, I have used baby powder. That works so well! How well do the grits work

And this is the first year I have ever grow potatoes. And I did not cut them. So we’ll see what kind of heels I get in I’ll let you know.
