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!!
@@DaisyCreekFarms Yes, thank goodness for you and for this community. I don't know anyone else who is trying to garden like I am. Your guidance is truly appreciated.
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.
I remember my first time growing potatoes. I harvested them so early I got about as much back as the amount that was in the box of seed potatoes I bought. Patience is truly a virtue!
I have recently just discovered you and I am beyond grateful!! I love and appreciate that your videos are short , concise and jam packed full of invaluable information!! No time wasted🙌🏻. Your channel is a goldmine for any gardener Many thanks 🙏🏻💕🇨🇦
Just planted my very first potato a week ago. Maybe a little late for my area, but I see the sprouts coming up. I'm now hooked and need to grow even more!
Thanks Jag. I use Epsoma Tomatotone to fertilize my potatoes and mulch with pinestraw. It's been doing well but I'm open to any form of positive information. Your videos give plenty!
@LittleBitOfSunshine4u just keep adding mulch just like you would dirt or add the dirt on the mulch and mulch again. Removing the mulch can pull the plant up. Especially if you aren't growing in the ground
I really learn a lot from your videos Jag ty I started growing in containers about 4 years ago without any success just wasting money the only thing I would get was couple okra now after taking your instructions I wish you could see my garden I am now gardening expert
I'm doing mine in a cardboard box with about 4 inches of soil, worm castings, and the rest leaves and it is sitting one one of those wooden spools about 2 feet off the ground. I have noticed that several of my DIY seed potatoes have nice thick sprouts that are developing leaves. So far they are doing really well.
Going to try potatoes for the first time this year in an old trash can… Lots of good info.. Got my seed red potatoes .. Need to make sure I have the correct fertilizers…
Number 8) be sure to mound up your spud plants to avoid the spuds coming into direct contact with sun light, if the potatoes do, they will turn green and become toxic.
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.
Thank you, Jag-- you are so knowledgeable and i appreciate your instructions. Just planted potatoes this morning. After seeing this video now, I'll be very surprised if i get any potatoes-- too hot, no healed over potatoes. 🙄 Oh dear. Will try again. Thank you 🌱
Hi I live in Zone 3 in the Northern Hemisphere I DON"T plant my potatoes In March or April as there is still 2 feet of snow on the ground and the ground is frozen solid( like a rock) I plant in late May( the 25th) or June
Mr. Jag Singh. Spring, 2024 will be first time for us to plant potatoes in the ground. So much to learn. Grew them in buckets. What a mystery of what was happening. I learned what mistakes I made thanks to you kind sir. We'll check out your other videos to learn more about lowering soil pH as well as pest control. Zone 6b Ct.
Thank you again for these short but clear and concise videos. Your enthusiasm continues to leave me opto.istic which is the best motivator! Can I use pine needles or coffee grounds , cold coffee to acidity my soil?
Thank you Jag. I'm in Florida and planted Sweet potatoes just in the ground. So we shall see. When you use a cardboard box do you open the bottom? I appreciate your wealth of knowledge.
Thanks for the tips, and as you say, lots of info and tips in a very short vid. So refreshing compared to the unbelievably long and boring videos of other people. Very informative too.
I'm in zone 2b, northern Canada. We will chit our heritage tubers in April,inside,then plant beginning May.... im growing this year in 100% 6 yr old steer manure. Will check for PH & and add Dolomite Lime to reduce PH to prevent scab.
Im growing them for the first time this year. Have 2 large buckets and one smaller one. The smaller one I put in half a potato, 1 large on i stuck 1 full potato, and the other large i stuck in 2 half potatos so Ill see in a couple months which method worked best for me. Im also growing garlic for the first time and those plants grow fast but heard they take a long time to get any garlic bulbs.
Hi there! Congratulations, really nice channel, as you said, straight to the point, everything in a nut shell. If you plant determinate seed from shop, you will have determinate patatoes? If so you will have determinate seeds than? The same for the cousin tomatoes. Thanks I will follow you.
Thank you so much for the video. Ive watch others, and i was curious as to why they kept saying avoid poisonous potatoes. But they never explained why, how. So thank you!
I'm in the Northern Hemisphere that rarely has a frost date 🤷 but temps did plummet into the low 30''s this year - and night temps are still in upper 30's, but daytime is 65-70° - quite the difference! I'm in Northern California - about 10 miles from the foothills to the Sierras. We've had an unusual cold winter, and already 4 Atmospheric rivers have dumped tons of rain - with the 5th predicted for Sunday through Tuesday night. Then, temps will quickly heat up! Im still going to plant potatoes today - I'll put them on the north side out of the South winds that will hit hard and dry us up🤞
Literally making the first mistake mentioned in the video haha. I live in Tampa Florida and it's mid June. Probably will be safer to wait till mid August😢
Thanks for the info. I am planting my first potatoes very soon. I have a big box for them so can set them in various light to shade ratios. I am in zone 8, western Oregon and we do have hot summers and cold winters. How much sun should these plants get?
i planted potatoes but the holes in the potatoes concerned me what do i put inside of them? one video said put meat (i used pork) other video said salt and fertilizer and the potatoes grew but what am i doing wrong
The heat caution is interesting. Temps in E. Washington (the state) can hover around 100 for days and weeks but farmers grow spuds for McDonalds fries who, I hear, is very particular. Things that make you go hmmmm.
Can you actually plant a potato when it doesn't have any eyes yet? I received German butterball potatoes as seed potatoes from a nursery. None of the potatoes have any eyes on them, can I still plant it like that?
they might rotate without eyes, but usually they still grow just a few weeks without eyes... you can rush them if you wrap them in wet paper towels and put them on a window sill with an onion
Home gardening is not about saving money, although some do save thousands growing in their backyard. Home gardening is about doing what you love, growing healthy produce, and living a healthy life.
@@DaisyCreekFarms $20 for worm shit…Talk about a capitalist scam. I can’t believe an Indian son would support such a narrative. Who are you going to depend on when gov & financial systems fail?
It’s one of the reasons I do it. Saved £800 working my allotment last year as well as getting exercise, enjoying my hobby and eating tasty organic produce.
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.

Right there with you, but I've learned great lessons from my mistakes.
I agree. But as a 1st timer , in the north. What temp is too hot/ cold to grow them?

You just planted ONE potato?
Perfect timing! I’m preparing a garden bed for potatoes right now. 😊
What do you do if you live in a hot climate? Can you still grow potatoes (in the shade?) if summer temperatures are regularly in the mid to upper 90s?
Thanks Jag. I use Epsoma Tomatotone to fertilize my potatoes and mulch with pinestraw. It's been doing well but I'm open to any form of positive information. Your videos give plenty!
Do you add more dirt to "hill" them? Do you have to move the mulch out of the way first or do you just put it on top of it?
@@LittleBitOfSunshine4u put it on top!
@LittleBitOfSunshine4u just keep adding mulch just like you would dirt or add the dirt on the mulch and mulch again. Removing the mulch can pull the plant up. Especially if you aren't growing in the ground
Awesome tips! First time heard about PH needs of potatoes, thanks

I ate my first homegrown potatoes today but still lots of knowledge to gain. Thanks for the video
Thanks Jag. I am growing potatoes. Hope I get something this time. Last try was only leaves and nothing else
Thank you so much for your informative video(s). Also, your ginger video is awesome too. Please post a video for Turmeric. Thank you again...

How did the potatoes turn out after all?
So glad to see you still adding content and info. These temperature ranges were helpful!
Please advise we who live in the uk
What about planting the potatoes the Ruth stout method ,what do you think of that
Hi JAG😊 GREAT video today,thanks for sharing this with us💕

Have you looked into making Biochar? Some love it, some say they saw no benefits.
Excellent as always my friend!
For cut potatoes, what kind of environment do you put them in to heal and scar over?
Fabric pots are good for growing potatoes 👍
I liked your concise presentation.
Thanks again, I appreciate you!
Great tips
Q is PEAT soil good i 4:53
Thank you for the video. Now I know why I didn't get many potatoes last year.
Hey Jag I'm gonna grown some potatoes in a 1x2 ft bucket. Should I just place one potato in it with
2 chips on it? Thanks
Thank you for this Mr. Singh, a lot of great information. Short and concise, what I love most about this video.
Wow... I learned so much! Thank you!
We can get frosts in May here in UK 🇬🇧
Thank you for mentioning that there are determinate and indeterminate tomatoes!
Hi jag thanks for info i live in somali east africa the temperature is above 35 degree can i plant potatoes thanks
Literally making the first mistake mentioned in the video haha. I live in Tampa Florida and it's mid June. Probably will be safer to wait till mid August😢
Wow!!! You are so detailed!!! Thank you so very much !!!
Potatoes loves a lot water ? How often to water?
I use a 10-10-10 fertilizer and I've always grown Great Potato
Another informative video
Thanks for the info. I am planting my first potatoes very soon. I have a big box for them so can set them in various light to shade ratios. I am in zone 8, western Oregon and we do have hot summers and cold winters. How much sun should these plants get?
six to eight hours a day, but more is ok, they don't like it over 80 degrees however
Absolutely love your videos, Jag! Always informative, interesting and helpful! Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated! 💖🦋
Hi Jag, I have a potato chit that has a shoot about 8 inches. Is that too long to plant and should I cut it back before planting? Thanks!
Great video, thanks!
Oh mannn, i just decided to plant my potatoes for fun last 2 weeks. I just checked the weather in my country, and its 29°c @84°f (everyday!) 😂😂😂
I planted red potatoes in bag with grow light. My plants are reddish purple and have a pointy ridge on the stems. Is this bad?
Sir can we water potatos before its starts growing.
I recently grow but still no sign of growing.
Can watering help fast growth🙏
Yes, water right after you plant
Thank you man I get something in this video I don’t know 👌
Great video, very informative 👍
U own a partystore lov your vid
Well that sucks to learn haha. I planted in May and they're just starting to grow big and it's like 30 degrees every day
Great video!
Can you please tell me if its nessasary to remove potato flowers?
Thank you!😊
Yeah, man, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Potatoes and Beck stems is there any good?
Doors this hold true for sweet potatoes as well?
How long does it take for a cut potatoe to scab over?
I’m anew Gardner and u r speaking French. 😮
i planted potatoes but the holes in the potatoes concerned me what do i put inside of them? one video said put meat (i used pork) other video said salt and fertilizer and the potatoes grew but what am i doing wrong
Plant as suggested in this video. do not use meat directly in your garden. Here is a video on this: ruclips.net/video/zQ_uUCUs-1U/видео.html
The heat caution is interesting. Temps in E. Washington (the state) can hover around 100 for days and weeks but farmers grow spuds for McDonalds fries who, I hear, is very particular. Things that make you go hmmmm.
About the potatoes and heat. I remember the farmers in California growing potatoes and it was very hot when they were being harvested.
can you hill up with mulched leaves or does it have to be with soil
Mulched leaves works really good for hilling.
Just subscribed to your channel.
I found a lot of slugs and grubs on my potatoes when I dug them up. What did I do wrong?
Can you actually plant a potato when it doesn't have any eyes yet? I received German butterball potatoes as seed potatoes from a nursery. None of the potatoes have any eyes on them, can I still plant it like that?
Im sure hell answer but i have always heard and read they must have eyes 👀
they might rotate without eyes, but usually they still grow just a few weeks without eyes... you can rush them if you wrap them in wet paper towels and put them on a window sill with an onion
Should I just cut them since the potato plant is freaking super tall?! O:
How much money did you spend on soil, containers, PH tester, pesticide and fertilizer to grow a bag of potatoes that cost $2.99 at the market?

what was the fertilizers you used? you speak fast. 😂
4-4-2 to start, then a month in go with 1-6-8, or 2-4-10. All fertilizers are N-P-K.
I like to use a general organic fertilizer to start, and some bone meal.
Basically when you first plant use a high nitrogen fertilizer and after a month use a high potassium fertilizer
👍✝️🙏❤️
Suìiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Honestly if I'm spending money on fertilizer than it's a bust for me. I can buy ten lbs for 5 bucks. So you lost me at mathematically unfeasible!

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.
