…Three potato, four! Actually, we harvested a whole bunch of these beautiful new baby potatoes from our family vegetable garden. A first timer starts out slow with an “EWWW!” and a “YUCK” but after the first couple nuggets she’s right in there digging in the dirt looking for treasures. ALL Potatoes were harmed in the making of this video. ( and boy, were they ever yummy. MMMMM) Read about our country farm life on our blog theredneckhillbillies.blogspot.com and Git Yer Redneck On!

It probably depends on what area you’re in, but for me I’d say… the green or yellow string beans of either the bush or pole variety. We depend on them to fill our freezers because they rarely fail. I can’t grow any root crop besides potatoes, and have pest issues with things like broccoli and radishes but always manage to grow the beans! Lettuce works well too if you can keep the slugs away. Good luck!

Careful, gardening can be addictive! The harvest, the memories, the learning, even the hard work that goes in to it – I love it all, and eating fresh, healthy veggies picked 10 minutes earlier from the front yard is incredibly satisfying.
Have fun with your daughters getting your hands dirty!

Thanks! Tips? Watch a few youtube videos ;p …Even watering, not too much manure either or you’ll end up with scab, and make sure the taters are well covered/protected from the sun when they start forming or they’ll turn green (mildly toxic) I learned a little about all this firsthand, yet I still got a bunch of awesome potatoes so you can’t go far wrong. For me the russet type potatos sprouting in my pantry outperformed the red pontiac seed potatoes at least 3 to 1.

watching your child learning to ‘harvest’ was most inspiring – hopefully enlightening to those who do not really know where food comes from !

Thanks! The garden is a ‘chore’ I don’t mind doing – especially at picking time!

It’s my first attempt at potatoes – space has always been an issue for us too. I’m just really happy that I got more potatoes out than I had to put in. ;p

That was very cool. I so wish I had enough space to grow a nice sized potato crop
