    I had the misfortune of deciding to become a first time gardener last summer in zone 9b, when there was record-breaking heat. I thought, nobody can mess up potatoes, right? Haha! I was SO disappointed when all 4 grow bags had zero potatoes. Not a single one! The plants looked healthy - I had no idea what I did wrong! I admit, I was discouraged from gardening. After tuning into your channel, I've gotten excited again about growing my own vegetables and I'm going to put my big girl pants on and try again. Thank you!!

      I had a similar thing happen we hen i first started planting potatoes- i had too much Nitrogen (i added Blood Meal & Feather meal along with my bone meal. Blood Meal & Feather meal are both a lot of Nitrogen plus my miracle grow feed) Sounds like you had too much Nitrogen & it fed your green leaves but you had no potassium & phosphorus to feed your tubers to grow. You should prep your soil with compost & manure, & bone meal & I put just a scant amount of Blood Mea if any at all. Put a nice large serving of bone meal under your potatoes (and mixed into the soil prior) when putting in your trench, grow bag or container, raised bed or whatever they will be using by then. I also put Azomite (micro/macro nutrients) powder in when I plant & a little shake of Miracle Grow Shake n Feed which is long term (over 3 months) Veggie/Plant food- I mix the soil up & then plant my Chittend potatoes. Then water real good.

  • @bobbun9630
    @bobbun9630 Год назад +4

    I can always tell a channel in a coastal area or a mild climate! Meanwhile, here in the middle of the continent, if I followed that temperature advice, I could literally never plant potatoes. I had some frost damage on corn this year on May 1. The average last frost date is in mid-April. I had several days in March when temperatures exceeded the maximum recommended temperature, though, more in April, and most of May every year exceeds those limits. I planted on the last day of February this year, by the way, and used lots of row covers. Because the temperatures are so cold early in the season, they don't get good growth, but even squeezing out every day I can, temperatures will regularly be in the 90's before they're ready for harvest and the plants will be suffering. Yeah, that's not great, but it really can't be helped. Sweet potatoes do much better here, and most of mine went in the ground about two weeks ago.

    • @Chocoholiclady66
      @Chocoholiclady66 3 месяца назад

      Everything depends entirely upon your soil. Is it acidic or alkaline, clay or sandy, loose or compacted, nutrient rich or poor, well draining or too dry or too wet, alive or dead (microbiome), etc. Amend accordingly. Ask (and research) what is the purpose of Biochar and what does it do for the soil and to the pH, moisture retention vs drainage, nutrients, etc. Same for things like wood ash, sand, coir, etc. What works well for one type of soil and pH can be very detrimental for another type of soil and pH or may do nothing at all because equivalent to what already have. First, have to know your own soil and what it requires.

I'm in Northern California - about 10 miles from the foothills to the Sierras.

    • @Chocoholiclady66
      @Chocoholiclady66 3 месяца назад

      Research results by agricultural science remain mixed over many decades so there is no definitive answer. I never have in over 45 years, but others say they experienced smaller yields if they didn't remove them -- so general observations and real life experiences also tend to be mixed. Theoretically, if the flowers fruit then more effort is going into the fruiting than into tuber (potato) development. Personally, I've never seen any flowers start fruiting -- they just die off without fruiting. Have only ever seen in photographs and know that they are toxic. I've never known commercial growers to do so; too labor intensive for such large crops yet they still grow large potatoes. When flowering and up until flowers beginning to whither, however, is good time to harvest fingerling/new potatoes -- good for canning whole -- harvest some for canning new potatoes and leave the other plants to finish growing for large potatoes.

      Sometimes they won't and chitting them first avoids that possibility. However, even if successful, you won't have control over the number of chits and too many could lead to smaller potatoes and lower yield. Each chit is a primary stem and the more stems the more energy going into the extra stems and foliage instead of the production and growth of tubers/potatoes.

      Garden produce is already going up in price in our supermarkets. Other than not knowing if commercial producers are being ecologically responsible, you save carbon by not having to drive to the store, or for their big trucks to drive hundreds of miles to bring you potatoes. No plastic bags, no underpaid workers, and you know they are fresh, not months old. Try a local produce stand if you don't feel like growing your own. Equally conscious minded.

    I use wood ash from alder and coffee grounds.

      Wood ash is alkaline, opposite of what you want to do with potatoes.

    This is the second time I've watched this video. I decided to NOT plant potatoes this year.
