We’re happy to hear you enjoy our videos 😊 Gardening together allows us to bond which is great for our mother-daughter relationship. We appreciate your support!! ❤️
Hey there! Thank you for subscribing! We made some delicious chips with these potatoes recently - so good!! We’re glad this information was helpful! Much love from Tennessee ❤️
New subscriber here, so happy I found your channel. Looks like a great harvest and I can't wait to see how your second planting goes! Have a wonderful weekend
Thanks for subscribing! We’re excited to see how our second round of potatoes turns out as well - it’ll be a learning experience for sure, lol! Have a wonderful week!!!
Jim on Home Grown Veg on You Tube has a lot of good tips, especially regarding potatoes, but also lots of other veggies. He lives in England. For potatoes, he puts 2 inches of soil in a much smaller bucket or bag approximating 2 gallon size, and then puts in just one potato, mostly from store-bought potatoes that he later chits up. Most of the potatoes as you also saw, are in the middle. He does experiments as well which are interesting.
Thank you for the reference! We’ll check out his channel. Very interesting to watch experiments in the garden - it’s always great info! Thank you again for the suggestion and thanks for watching!!!
We hope you have a great experience planting your first potatoes, and we definitely hope the info provided will help you out! Happy Growing to you as well!
Thank you for putting in information on each variety. I wish more people would. I am in Oklahoma, and just put in my potatoes for fall harvest. They will be seed potatoes for spring. I chose Purple Viking and Sarpo Mira. I will probably get two additional varieties next spring to try also. Blessings on you both!
Of course! It’s always great to learn about the varieties that are available- there are so many different varieties. We will look into choosing a couple new varieties for next spring also. Blessings on you as well!
Great info ladies, I didn't know certain potatoes had such a long storage life. Also love the nutritional value of the blue potatoes. I need a couple of those😊
We also didn't know that some varieties had a longer shelf life than others until last year. And with the blue potatoes...YEESSS! They are one of the most nutritious potato varieties out here, and besides the color, it's a regular potato 🤩
Thank you so much for supporting us!!! We would LOVE to have a vegetable washing station. We’ve been looking at them lately and hope to get one soon. Thank you for suggesting that!!!
Hi love the harvest! I'm in the UK I used those size grow bags too, I filled one to about 2 inches from the top to see if I could lift it comfortably the answer was no so I chatted to some other gardeners and mixed the soil/earth/compost what ever you call it with brown leaves I collect in the fall and chopped up hey because potatoes don't mind the odd twig and the soil to be rugged I think they like the challenge and a bit of manure etc but anyway my point is it makes the bag half the weight! and we got a pretty good result out of 8 bags so far we have 24lb I'm well chuffed I really want to see if we can get the blue one's over here love the funky coloured veg! I love there are so many gardeners now! love light and laughter to you both xx
Thank you SO MUCH for the info and encouragement! That was so sweet! We may need to consider your method and reduce the weight with some leaves next time. Much love from Tennessee, USA, and happy growing!!!
We plan on growing them again next Spring. With a few tweaks, we hope to get much larger sizes of the German Butterballs next time. Thanks for sharing your experience (good to know we weren’t alone lol 😅), and thank you so much for watching!
I loved watching your video. It was very informative however I think your harvest was affected from a lack of watering in addition to being harvested too early. However, I applaud you guys and I am looking forward to the fall gardening videos.
Hi there! Sorry for the late reply! Yes, we think a significant factor that affected our harvest was also a lack of watering. The rain was minimal during the summer and sometimes we weren’t able to water as effectively or often as we would’ve liked. Thank you so much for your input and support!!!
Thank you so much!!! My mom and I want to make sure we give details on the plants we're growing with hopes that it's helpful for others. We're really glad you enjoyed the video and the information given!
Thank You for the video! I had a similar experience growing in grow bags a couple years ago. Our growing season is a little earlier than yours (Feb to May) but I recommend as well. Thanks for the info on variety, im gonna get me some red norland for my spring potato salad!
We may consider growing a few potatoes in-ground next year to see how they do, but we'll still primarily grow them in grow bags. We'll be planting more Red Norlands for round #2 soon. With home grown potatoes, we're sure your potato salad will be DELICIOUS!
That’s very true!!! We’ll remove most of the eyes and reduce the number of potatoes in the bags next time to see if we have a better outcome regarding their size. Thank you!!
Hi! Sorry for the late reply! We primarily used the blue potatoes for making homemade chips, however, they’re also pretty good for baking and mashing. They definitely made for some pretty and delicious chips though!🤩
We should have harvested some of the bags a few weeks later when the leaves would have been more brown and crunchy. We were a little eager this year 😅 We’ll let them dry out longer next time. Thanks 😊
Great question!!! The short answer appears to be “Yes.” According to a few articles that we’ve reviewed, the carbohydrates in potatoes convert into small traces of glucose and fructose (and some sucrose). If you are referring to pure sugar as “table sugar,” that is largely comprised of a simple sugar called sucrose which absorbs into the bloodstream slower than glucose and fructose. Very interesting question that we have not considered before - thanks for asking!
Were these picked a little too early? Some of the videos I watch or read on you pick when the leaves should be dying back. I'm asking because mine look like this now, but I was still going to give them another month because it doesn't look like "dying back" to me
Lol 😂! Yes, if we saw your comment earlier, we would’ve said “please leave them in!” Lol Ours may have been a bit larger in size if we let the plants die back completely - meaning that they turn yellow/brown and start to dry. We hope your harvest turned out well!!!!
I got a question why do y'all plan them in bags if y'all have all of that land I don't understand the concept do you get more potatoes in a bag than you would have ground
That’s a fair question. The short answer is for convenience. It’s easier for us to harvest potatoes when they’re in grow bags/buckets than digging in the ground. Potatoes are one of those crops that can grow just as well, and sometimes better, depending on your soil type, in containers than in ground. Thanks for asking. I’m sure other people may be curious as well, I know we would be. Thanks for watching!
We typically have enough potatoes to use as whole seed potatoes, but we have seen the method of cutting one potato into multiple parts with sprouts for planting. We may try that method to conserve space. Maybe the plants will have enough energy to grow bigger. Thank you for the suggestion!
I love your videos and your relationship.
We’re happy to hear you enjoy our videos 😊 Gardening together allows us to bond which is great for our mother-daughter relationship. We appreciate your support!! ❤️
what an ABUNDANT harvest! I can't wait for the next harvest to see about the new experiment you all are doing. happy gardening, watching from VA!

Love watching your videos....I think you should build a vegetable washing station makes dumping pot out easier
Thank you so much for supporting us!!! We would LOVE to have a vegetable washing station. We’ve been looking at them lately and hope to get one soon. Thank you for suggesting that!!!

My German Butterballs were small this year, too.
We plan on growing them again next Spring. With a few tweaks, we hope to get much larger sizes of the German Butterballs next time.
Thanks for sharing your experience (good to know we weren’t alone lol 😅), and thank you so much for watching!

Every eye (chit) on the seed potato will grow a plant. So if you use multiple seed potatoes, you will have a lot of plants competing for nutrients.
That’s very true!!! We’ll remove most of the eyes and reduce the number of potatoes in the bags next time to see if we have a better outcome regarding their size. Thank you!!

How / What do you use the blue potatoes? Meaning, what ways did you use them for cooking? Raw, baked etc?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply!
We primarily used the blue potatoes for making homemade chips, however, they’re also pretty good for baking and mashing.
They definitely made for some pretty and delicious chips though!🤩
I wait until my potatoe leaves are 100 % dead i mean brown and crunchy until i harvest my potatoes.
We should have harvested some of the bags a few weeks later when the leaves would have been more brown and crunchy. We were a little eager this year 😅 We’ll let them dry out longer next time. Thanks 😊
Is it not true that potatoes are very high in carbohydrates and that these are turned into sugars that enter the bloodstream easier than pure sugar ?
Great question!!! The short answer appears to be “Yes.”

Nvm 😂 I heard you answer this a minute after I commented
I see now, they should've stayed in until August. Thanks for sharing anyway
Lol 😂!
Yes, if we saw your comment earlier, we would’ve said “please leave them in!” Lol
Ours may have been a bit larger in size if we let the plants die back completely - meaning that they turn yellow/brown and start to dry.
We hope your harvest turned out well!!!!

Cut one potato into 4 chunks...for each bag
Let it dry & heal then plant it
Those were too many whole potatoes for one bag
We typically have enough potatoes to use as whole seed potatoes, but we have seen the method of cutting one potato into multiple parts with sprouts for planting. We may try that method to conserve space. Maybe the plants will have enough energy to grow bigger. Thank you for the suggestion!
