Pa's Potato Harvest and How we store them for winter! 

Nice potatoes. I’m just getting mine in. My tomatoes and peppers are blooming. My garden is in boxes and pots but I’m thankful for what I have got.

I've never dug potatoes...that was like an Easter egg hunt 😂 All different colors and sizes! Hope yall and the Whippoorwill Holler community have a great weekend and God bless you all!

Do you sweet folks even KNOW how wonderful you are ? WELL, you are !!! Be’n an older lady, I can’t stop watching, and liking, your videos ! How you have that soft sweet Southern, way about you. Be’n from KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE………….. I KNOW, real SOUTHERN folks !! Blessings 🌺

Oh my goodness! I love to see fruits of a garden! ❤

Mr & Mrs Brown,I just love you both,I'm so glad y'all got to retire together so cool.stay safe and keep filming.

I grow mine in cardboard boxes, since it's just me and prevents gophers eating on them. At the end of the season I just turn the box over and there they are.

I just love new potatoes!😊

We have a beautiful crop all in bloom now. It’s like a treasure hunt when we dig em up!

You guys live what is known as the good life. God bless , and stay healthy. Love you.

My dad grew up poor on a farm during the Depression. On their property, they had a big root cellar that you could stand in. Inside, they had built wooden frames to hold the potatoes that had been dug. They would throw lime on them, just as Mr Brown recommended. They would keep for a long time! I’m so glad you didn’t run into any snakes while you were digging! ❤-Brenda

Always loved digging up potatoes! And rhe excitement of seeing how Many would be there. Then scrubbing up and cookingthe smallest ones up in water. And eating with just butter,salt& pepper The best ever.

There is nothing better than homegrown potatoes! Mom and Dad have a really good harvest coming in.

So very timely!! I was just wondering if it was time for harvesting potatoes and how they needed to be stored. God bless you and Mr. Brown

I remember getting potatoes up in a number 10 tub, after a long day at school. My daddy would be done dug them the evening before. After school, we knew what our job was.🙏❤️🙂

Oh my goodness, my grandparents were farmers, and I would do anything to live on a farm, I'm fascinated by it. It I love the history of it, and I'm not afraid of hard work!!!, I had a customer that used to bring me potatoes from his garden, and I love the smell of the fresh soil dirt. Dirt. I never knew the work that went into it when it came to finding them picking them digging them up. I truly appreciate Farmers always have. I miss my grandparents😢😞🤗🤗💜🩷☺️🥔

Good job Mr. Brown, I couldn’t get down on my knees like that for nothing and do that. You stay busy so that keeps you limber. God Bless you and Miss Lori. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Enjoyed the potato harvest! I envy Mr. Brown getting up off the floor with no problem! Lucky man!

I Live In Upstate NY My Potatoes R Just Starting To Come Up !!! Ur Way Ahead Of Us On The Gardening For Sure !!

My potatoes did great in raised beds this year. I had never tried that before. The older I get, the higher I'd like for my raised beds to be!

Please do a video when you make hash brown and French fries

Thank U for the information!

😊I'm so glad Pa got some potatoes,it's disappointing to get nothing for hard work. I think y'all will be fine this winter. We got some green tomatoes now,just had some fried with Sloppy joe's and watermelon,yummy. Y'all have a wonderful week,love ya both!!🥰🎇🎆🎉Happy Fourth!!!

Nice crop, Mr. Brown. Miss, Lori, I’d like to see your hash browns, I have some buckets and tubs of potatoes coming so I need to make up some potato recipes. 👍👍

You both look so tired …I used to get that way when it was humid. Please take care of yourselfs. ❤️

GOD Bless you both!!!!!

Digging potatoes is the best treasure hunt.

Grammy & Grampy had a potato/onion room in the basement. She called it the potato cellar, I called it the spider room. Such a creepy place. But if Grammy asked you to go fetch potatoes, you better get on it or get the paddle.

Hi! Just love videos like this. Amazing how God can take something so small and create so much! Blessings to both of you!

Very nice potatoes and like your storage. Happy 4th.

Aye, makes me homesick. God bless ya'll!

We used to grow potatoes too. The kids loved to dig them up because it seemed like digging for treasure. 😁

Some very nice potatoes another very interesting video Thank you and God bless you and YOUR FAMILY 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Such a blessing! Abundance! 😊 God is good all the time! Be blessed 🙏🏻

Been a while! Thanks for the episode. Thanks Arkansas! 🔴⚪🔵 "Have I done and have I dared; everything to be prepared.", OK, "And may the great Masters of all Good Scouts be with you until we meet again." Good night Scouts! That's the Scout Master's minute. I know, kind of silly. Sending love from MN!

Last year I saw you can potatoes & I canned some & I still have some on the shelf,I enjoy learning from you all

Aloha 🤙I was paying so much attention to Mr. Brown in the garden that I didn't realize Miss Lori was there (holding the camera) until she giggled. 😄

Oh how exciting. Beautiful fruits from your labor. Thank you for sharing with us. Love your channel.

You both are glowing. You seem so happy since you have retired. l

Digging potatoes brings back good memories of when I grew up. MISS Lori what color of paint is your lower cabinets painted I like the color

Absolutely Beautiful Potatoes 🥔🥔👨🏻‍🌾Mr. Brown 👌🏻🦩

Gave up growing potatoes because there is just me. Couldn’t eat them all before they went bad or sprouted. Will try what you suggest. Thank you for sharing.

Oh boy, you've got all kinds of good stuff in that garden!

Beautiful potatoes , we used to pick over where they planted potatoes for chips . We always had lots. It took alot of work but it paid off.

Wow I have never seen them grown like that. Intresting

Love the way you store your potatoes.

Nice potatoes Pa. I enjoy seeing a volunteer potato. Its amazing how they can be fine and grow to a nice potato. Thank you.

My grandpa not only done potatoes that way, but carrots, cabbage cauliflower, broccoli they just made sure the hole was way below. The frost line kept potatoes until planting season.

Them are some nice looking potatoes

Hey y'all ❤ Please show us how to freeze potatoes, God bless y'all 🙏❤️

Hubby planted a few potatoes in a raised garden and got quite a few. And they are GOOOD!! 😊

🌻Happy Friday, Mrs . Lori And Mr. Danny 🌻. You got a great crop . Of beautiful potatoes . I know they used to put . Vegetables and fruits under the beds . The little potatoes . Are good cooked with fresh green beans . Cooked with bacon or ham . Small potatoes are delicious . Cooked in gravy . Have a great evening .

My dad dug his with a potato fork. What he had left after the winter, he’d use them for seed potatoes.

Nice potatoes pa brown is really losing weight looking good 😮

I enjoy watching your videos. I learn a lot from you both. I just love the way you live. You grow and can your own food and have a little, but very cozy home. Love it!! May the good Lord continue to bless you both. Oh yeah, and Happy Retirement to the two of you. Enjoy it and be happy!!

Wonderful potatoes!😋

I love homegrown spuds, they taste So much better than store bought and you all have a Beautiful harvest, Miss Lori and Mr. Brown! God Bless You Both Always and I pray that you have a Very Blessed and Happy Independence Day! ✝️❤️🤗

And WE Love YOU!! I don't know why but, it refused to let me leave you hearts.

Never did potatoes till this year in straw. I put them in in May so I’ve got a bit of a wait time to see how I did. May the force be with me😂 Great job as always Mr.&Mrs.❤

Thank you Mr. Brown!!! I was one of those people wanting your tater know how. I loved this video!!! Thank you and Ms Lori for all the ‘homegrown knowledge’ about growing and storing taters! Yours look great!! Love and prayers to you both! 💖🙏🏼💖

Your house must be so clean to store potatoes under your cabinets……mine would have dust bunnies….lol

I like the box method for storage! Haven't harvested my potatoes yet. Planted mid -late April here in S Ohio. Love you both ❤ All the great info you share.

You have one too😊 17:17

I am so appreciative of this video. I am growing sweet potatoes and potatoes for the first time this year using Mr Brown's method. Now I know how to store them properly. Looking forward to seeing what the harvest will be!

One of the best memories is digging potatoes! Its like hunting for treasure!! Happy Fourth to you both! 🎆🎇

My goodness, those were some pretty potatoes! Thank you for showing us!

Great advice on the potatoes I use to put mine in an old shed

My garlic is in. Potatoes are close. Have put up green beans. Tomatoe plants look better than they have in years. Not as many strawberries this year. Love gardening.

Mice potato harvest, I would be happy with them too.❤

Yep under the bed in the back bedroom! The coolest room

Do you get mice coming afterthe potatoes on the floor?

I planted potatoes this year…..I would love to have boxes of my crop in my basement 🥰

Didn't do garden this year too busy cartooning for 2 family members that are ill

We always waited till our vines died down..

I planted my potatoes in dog, cat, and cow food bags. I just put a few little goes in the bottom and started them in about 4 or 5 inches of soil. As they grow, I add soil, leaving only about 3 leaves sticking out.

Beautiful potatoes. I have lots of tops. Just hope I have potatoes in the ground when time to dig up.

Pretty potatoes 🥔 😊!

Listening to Mr Brown reminded me of sling blade😅, love your show

Great job!

Love y'all. God bless 🙏💙

Thanks for Potatoes 101 class! Mr. Man thought he'd try to grow some from seed potatoes we got at our local feed store. He and planted them in a watering trough because we were told they like to grow in a sandy type soil and we have more of a hard pan & clay soil. I plant my vegetable garden in 5' × 10' raised beds filled with garden soil. It would really be great if you could do a video on prep & planting potatoes in the future. Thanks and bless you both!❤

Papaw always said don’t dig your potatoes until at least half of the vines have turned yellow. We had massive potato harvests.

Yukon golds are my favorite although grandpa and my mom never grew them. I believe they may have planted kennebec. Grandpa had a huge potato patch. He would plow them out (with a horse and walk behind plow). We would follow and throw them onto the sled to bring them back to the house and let “cure” before toting them by buckets and buckets into the cellar where we’d dump them into a couple huge potato bins. Mom also plowed or dug her long rows out and she too had a nice cellar to keep them in. Of course when you plow them out, a few may get cut…. We just saved them to eat soon. I surely miss those days.

We love homegrown potatoes because they taste much better than store bought.

Thank you

Please do a video on how your freezing your potatoes

I enjoyed the video. I always learn something new watching you all. Have a great fourth of July. Summer is just flying by so quickly. God bless.❤

That's awesome God Bless

Good looking potatoes and so happy you got a good haul happy eating!!

Those potatoes looked so good. Yummy

Thank you for sharing this and God bless you and your family and your RU-vid family and happy 4th of July to you and happy 4th of July to everyone and God bless 😊👍🙏🙏🙏🙌

Blessings

My grandson and I are going to store a few in the ground as an experiment. Read about it in a Foxfire book using straw. Cool that you mention as well.

❤ all the ones I accidentally left in the ground last year came up and their big now almost ready to be harvested and I planted the rest of the new crop about 6 weeks ago two rows of potatoes this year potatoes this year old and new. I planted three rows of one kind of green beans three rows of tomatoes
