Nice harvest...My wife and I primarily raise bed garden too, but also container and a couple of in ground plots. Watched your video with the 15-gallon containers. I used 5-gallon buckets with on average 2 seed potatoes per bucket but 3 if they were small. We planted 4 buckets of Norland Reds, and 4 buckets of Yukon Golds. I didn't weigh but we had an approximate 20 to 25 lbs. Enjoy your channel, zone 8a Panama City, Florida
I have a few more 5 gallon buckets with some different varieties - Carola, Yukon Gold. They did not have their foliage smothered by other plants so I’m hoping for better production from them. I’m shocked that Panama City is in Zone 8b! Seems awful far south for that. Thanks for watching!
@@greyghostgardening5353 , I will continue to plant potatoes in 5 gallon buckets, but plan on putting a few in the raised beds next season. My wife uses the raised beds for sweet potatoes and has pretty good results
Number of earthworms maybe only because of letting ground dry out. The dryness made the worms go deeper below the surface seeking moisture. Blessing to all of us.
I’m in 9a, just northwest of Houston, TX. I am going to grow potatoes again in the fall. It’s wayyyy too hot to grow potatoes in late spring/summer where I live.
At 6:28 in the video there is a picture of the weight. They weighed 14.5 pounds. I don’t know how this stacks up for an in-ground/raised bed harvest, but I was very pleased. Thanks for watching!
@@greyghostgardening5353 oops, I missed it. I think catalogs that are selling seed potatoes usually say 1-5 lbs or 5-10 lbs per hill. Many blessings everyone.
too many seeds planted for area,you worried too much about spuds getting wet as long as its not weeks it wont hurt,we harvest when its wet they just need to dry before storing
still very poor compared to mine i grow in ridges, i leave maincrop from april to end of september by that time tops have well died off and skins hardened
Wonderful!
What a nice pool you have!!!

In the last frame you look like Bert in Big Bang Theory!
Would be nice to know your USDA grow zone and latitude. Too hot to grow a second crop?

You didn't say how much they weighed.

Where are you growing? My plants won’t survive the summers where I live.
