1. You’ve got to share your onion tips! I grew candy this year and mine were nowhere near that size. There’s always next year!

2. The zinnias are fabulous! Do you think they would self seed out there for next year? There are so many!

3. Potatoes are so fun to grow! Mine are in my plot at our community garden. A little girl was there watching me harvest. When I lifted the pitch fork up she shouted”wow, potatoes! Like a real farmer!”. It was the cutest thing 🤗 Thanks for showing me how satisfying and easy it can be 😊

4. You are amazing. As I watched you harvesting potatoes and onions with all that hard work, I noticed how many times you had to reset your camera. That’s the part we never see. For instance one view was you driving the gator around to the back of the building with your potato haul. That meant before you drove back there you had to go set the camera up and then go back to the gator or drive the gator back to the front and then come back around that corner straight at the camera so we got that view I also noticed while you were digging the potatoes you moved the camera a couple of times. So you are taking a lot more steps than we ever see. Great work.

5. Great harvest, congrats!! There's a lot of good eatin' in those baskets and crates. So much fun to bless your neighbors and family too. I look forward to these harvests each year!!!

6. I divided my dahlia tubers and planted singles this year. They also grew really short and some look really young – maybe due to young tubers? Last year’s were over 8’!

7. 👋🌞Good Friday morning, Laura!
   WoW, those are some HUGE onions!!! Did I miss or not remember what type of onions those are? Wala Wala, maybe? My brain plays tricks on me…
   Hubby and I aren't fans of strong onions; so, sweet ones would be perfect for us.
   Aaron/Ken, thank you for the nice 👂👂candy 🎶🎸🥁🎶 👏👏👏
   👋🐈Hi Cheddar!!! I have missed seeing you, Russell, Benjamin and Samantha Grace this week!!! Good to see you little feller!🤗🤗
   WoW, 70#'s of onions!!!! That's crazy and amazing, since you've already harvested others, as you went along the season… I hope your neighbors and friends appreciate the corn, onions, potatoes, etc generosity of you and Aaron. Do they ever, occasionally, bring you rewards/treats in exchange? I hope so.
   Ok, at 24:06 you said Wala Wala and Candies. I want to buy some seeds of those, to plant next Spring.
   Question? I noticed ladder racks hanging on the outside of the barn(?) and the ladder on the ground behind the drying table. Is it easier to access that way, temporarily, while the drying table is up? I know you 2 typically try to keep stuff stored in/on their homes. No criticism intended, just curious/nosy. 😉😂🤣😂
   Holy potatoes, Batman….. 🤯🤯🤯 Laura, you are gorilla strong!💪💪💪
   WHAAAAAT???? 652#'s???? You could feed an entire village. Zoinkers
   What is that wooden rack, with the slotted shelves, behind your tater haul for? It looked interesting. Being curious/nosy, again…🤔
   😂🤣😂🤣😂, yes, that would be impressive, if you could eat 652#'s a year! HowEVER, you all would look like potatoes…..😂🤣😂🤣😂
   Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night 🌞/🌜 ✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!

8. Canned goods and pasta are not items that ought to be in 70% humidity intentionally.

9. Yup, growers gonna grow, no matter what 😀 lovely you are, job so well done congrat <3

10. OMG, all I kept thinking about was baked onions. If you have never tried them you should. You bake or even grill them like baked potatoes. Put them either in foil or just in their skin. Bake till soft, add butter and sour cream salt, and pepper. YUMM

11. I keep losing my onions (and garlic) to too much moisture, despite Mother Nature doing most of the water work for me. Do they prefer a drier environment? I know every garden will be different, but how long did you run your drip for that zone?

12. I completely agree about the 2 rows of zinnias!! I was thinking the same thing while watching. I noticed the queen lime-red are the prettiest for arrangements but the germination rate was the poorest. California giants are the best (that I grew) for abundance and size. Zone 6b, N.W. Pennsylvania. (Completely different soil & more rain).

13. Great harvest!
    When you said you could easily start up another crop of potatoes in the same spot, I kind of gasped.
    Using the principles of permaculture gardening, it's tres important to use crop rotation to prevent pests and diseases.
    I'm sure you're aware of this.
    Just a reminder, Jo from New Zealand.

14. Check out my latest garden tour on my channel!

19. Amazing!😎

20. Welcome home! ❤️❤️👍👍😎😎

21. What did you say you amend the soil with to feed onions? I can’t grow onions to save my soul and I don’t know why!

22. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
    "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33

    For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; – 1 Timothy 2:5
    “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

    From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand – Matthew 4:17

    Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God – John 3:5

23. Good evening Laura and family 🌸
    Great to see you all back home and safe. What a beautiful harvest you did great. Loved your videos from your trip. 😊 Thank you for sharing your hard work. Have a goodnight 😴

24. Oh those huge onions will make yummy blooming onions!!

25. My husband who is a potato breeder said that your green potato plants are probably heat runners that were caused from your high temps and they probably didn't produce any potatoes. He said that you can leave the potatoes in the ground until the plants are completely dead. Since you have a coolbot your potatoes should be fine in your root cellar, but if you harvest before it's cold outside and you move them into a warmer root cellar they could go bad much faster. We have that problem at our home because we just put them in our slightly cooler back staircase, so he leaves our potatoes in the ground until it is cold outside. You got an amazing potato harvest and I'm completely jealous of your onions!

26. WhT do you do with all that? Do you gave e a d farmers mkt

27. Beautiful onions!😀

28. You should do one row on either side of the path

29. I bet the grocery store is someplace you rarely go! What a haul!

30. My aunt Marilynn, Marilynn Stein, worked at California University at Davis and developed the tomato into a fruit that can ripen all at once and be picked by a machine. (Which made affordable canned spaghetti sauce to be sold on shelves) But her favorite was the sweet potato that she developed to be so sweet that you bake it and mix in a bit of orange juice and it’s better than any sweet potato with brown sugar and butter! It has the nickname “the Marilynn”
