Thanks Jen 👍🌱👍 I was surprised how nice and clean the potatoes were out the buckets. Think I'm fully converted to the buckets now and no more potatoes in the ground
Well, how refreshing to see a potato harvest where the 'harvester' is quite happy with the result. So many of these videos ( that I love watching ) and mainly in the UK - have the so sad/disappointed/not big enough blah, blah, blah. We don't do chips or many baked spuds here in this house (Australia) - but we love steamed/roast/smashed smaller ones, and the wee ones I would just wash and chuck in a soup or stew. Can't compare fresh home grown taste with the spuds that are on offer in supermarkets - that have been languishing in 'storage' way before they get to the shelf. Well done you Mark🙂👌👏 and you have another subscriber.
Great harvest Mark. I like to grow my tatties in buckets because I always spear them when digging them from the ground. Plus no sticky soil on them, which makes cleaning/prepping for dinner much easier. Happy gardening 🙂
Totally with you on the spearing when digging them up. I've done that so many times 😊 Think I'm a complete convert to doing all of them in buckets now, even the main crops. 👍🌱👍
I didn’t do this, this year and now regretting it 😂 but I have definitely started in containers in the greenhouse to give them a boost. Well worth it 🥂
Thanks Joe. With you on the watering had to give the ones I have left a good watering at the weekend as the leaves were just starting to wilt ever so slightly 👍🌱👍
Potatoes are the one thing that seems to be going well this year. Lots of other things knocked by the early dodgy weather. Hoping for a half decent summer so things pick up a little. 👍🌱👍
Thanks Elaine, I was pretty chuffed with the harvest from the buckets 😊 Think I'm pretty much a convert to doing all the potatoes in buckets now. So much easier than planting them in the ground 👍🌱👍
That's a really good harvest. You've convinced me to plant a few buckets up earlier next year. My earliest this year, went in two weeks after you planted these so I'm still waiting for fresh spuds.
I think the little boost they got from being in the greenhouse for a couple of weeks before braving the outside was a big help.👍🌱👍 Wonder if I could get them even earlier as well next year 😊 Only one way to find out 😂
Had my first harvest a fortnight ago (East Riding Yorkshire) planted mid March - 'International Kidney' variety. Not a big yield per bucket but oh so tasty!!
Looks like another few weeks needed for the couple of buckets of charlottes I've got on the go as well. Hopefully towards the middle/end of July they'll be good to go 👍🌱👍
I did a experiment planted some spuds in ground and some in a large bucket harvested them in bucket them in ground nothing as always happy gardening Richardx
my wife planted two potato skins as an experiment in a shallow bed, just to see what happened , low and behold they took and because they soil was only four inches deep she was shocked to find five massive potatoes ( unknown asda spuds)
Hi Mark, I reuse my compost too 😊 I haven't harvested mine yet, they are Charlotte, 2nd early variety. Only a few leaves have started to turn yellow so, I'll wait another week or two. They are lovely potatoes you have harvested. Another great video. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Thanks Christine. Had some of them for dinner last night and they were delicious. Can't beat the taste of freshly picked potatoes 😊 Charlotte are a great potato. Think I might have a bucket of them hiding somewhere as well. Can't wit for them to be ready 👍🌱👍
wow

Thanks Jen 👍🌱👍

I am about to harvest my Caledonian Pearl tonight as they look like yours. First time growing these so hopping for a good yield
Lovely spuds 😊🥔🥔🥔
Thanks Tamsin 👍🌱👍😊
Lovely harvest there Mark 🥔🥔. Is a struggle at the mo keeping mine watered 😅😅
Thanks Joe.
With you on the watering had to give the ones I have left a good watering at the weekend as the leaves were just starting to wilt ever so slightly 👍🌱👍
I had really good crop this year. Disappointed with the taste of pentland javelin. However, the rocket variety have an amazing 'new potato' taste

Nothing quite like the taste of freshly picked potatoes 👍🌱👍
Hopefully lots more to come over the summer ☀😎
we’ve done a tester of our charlottes, good but defiantly need a few more weeks yet.
Looks like another few weeks needed for the couple of buckets of charlottes I've got on the go as well.
Hopefully towards the middle/end of July they'll be good to go 👍🌱👍
