On my very first plant ever, I did one yukon gold potato and I did not cut it. I put it in the ground whole, and I got a harvest of 22 potatoes. I'm in the Pacific NW and planted mid to late spring. I didn't know anything about planting potatoes at the time. I had used an organic spud from my local health food store that didn't get eaten before it sprouted. I just put it in my garden bed and left it alone. I was thrilled when I harvested (which also was a guess as to when to harvest...like I said, newbie)
This year, I'll be going all out with multiple chitting potatoes instead of just one, and I'll be adding some mulch and fertilizer to my soil. Thank you for the great information. I've learned a lot of from MIgardener and I'm sure it will translate to a much larger harvest. Thank you!
The Pinto potatoes are the right size for canning. I can the small ones to add to my green beans with chopped onion and bacon mixed with just a little Worchestershire Sauce. My family loves them.
Great idea
I'm glad you held the potatoes up in the camera frame because the typed out part that says what you're saying covers the picture at the bottom of the frame up
Your Purple majesty potatoes are huge & lovely! Pintos look pretty & also look like they'd be good for canning. Kennebecs & the beauty Pontiac Reds look like the champions here.
I am an avid fan of your videos, you have a gorgeous family, I noticed something that made me laugh so much....you actually said Sorry to the plants because they were tangled, that really did make my day.....thanks....lovely harvest, maybe they should have been left in the ground a bit longer Shrugs...... I am going to have a go at this for the first time ever and I live in an area that is sandy not sure results I will get because I have to build up the soil I am guessing to get any decent crop results.

I apologize to everything i grow, too! Especially when i have to tug on them, separate vines/leaves, etc. Lol!
Potatoes are so good for you. You could live on potatoes. Add a few greens and vegis, beans and such and voila. A meal. You have a gold mine there. Good work. Love the little ones. You can leave them whole with skins on for a salad, etc. Nice garden.
Last year, I went to a University of Wisconsin Experimental farm. It is in Rhinelander, Wi. which is in north central Wi. One of the reasons it is there is that it is cold enough to deter potato viruses. What they did was they had a tractor pull a machine that was sort of like a sled and conveyor. It was about 4 feet wide. It would scoop the ground and due to some rods, the ground would fall out first and the potatoes would then land on the ground. People from the community were there, and would pick them and they were put in big boxes which were on a trailer puled by a second tractor. The potatoes destine was ultimately the local food pantry. This went on for 3 hours. But just looking at the machine as it was going, you could tell the yields of various types. They had reds, purples, russets, and yukon golds. The Yukon golds seemed to have the best yield. The purples seemed to do really poorly relatively. You could keep some, so I took some purples for seed. My potato area is bigger than yours but no wheres near as well maintained. This year, the purples seemed to have a low yield. Personally, I eat my own for about 6 months, and then they sprout, and then I plant the sprouted ones in the spring. I am not as quick to harvest as you, and do not seem to have much of a rotting problem. Maybe you get a lot more rain from Lake Michigan. More about the UW-Extension. They mostly grow seed potatoes which are shipped to Antigo which is a little south, and they grow industrial seed potatoes to them, and then they ship them around to food production.
Harvesting potatoes is like a treasure hunt! Rabbits got mine early on so nothing to share but I'm stoked for you guys!
I always say it is like an easter egg hunt
Best potato’s I’ve ever grown have been the Greek potato’s. The taste is amazing.
I designed some handicapped friendly root crop boxes and my husband built them. First year this year, I planted a bit too close I think but the plants themselves are the fastest growing most lush potato plants I have ever grown. I've got Yukon gold, Pontiac red, and russet. There won't be any digging or pulling. I built in a hinge and latch system so when it's time to harvest I just lay down a tarp and unlatch. Either it all spills out or I can sit and use a whisk broom and kind of pull them out sideways. At least that is the hypothesis LOL
How did it go?
Hi, as a person with chronic pain and other assorted weasels, this sounds very intriguing. I'd love to hear how it worked out & its practicality? Thank you.
Hi, Everybody’s Gramma! I’d certainly love to see those planters!! Can u provide a link to ur channel or blog, please??
Live in U.P. Have planter Purple Peruvian for two years now. They go nuts up here. They must love the climate.
I can never resist potato harvest videos ! Love them!
Haha same.
Hahaha me either. I went back and watched my old harvest videos just because.
Shasta Erts same.
There are several factors in studying aquaponics. One plan I found that successfully combines these is the Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you're interested) definately the no.1 course that I have ever seen. Check out this awesome resource.
Me too! Lol
Thanks! I grew the Kennebecs and Purple Majesty in MD (near Frederick) in black potato bags. Much easier than my bed but I think I might try the bed and the bags next year. I agree the Kennebecs are super and reliable. Gonna be good fall eating in our house!
I grew Kennebec's for the first time this year. Only 4 seed potatoes in a bucket, and yielded almost 5 pounds!! I live in the same region as you; The Midwest. Zone 6
just an idea... when you harvest something could you put a link in the description of when you planted it... watching them together is like having the complete growing guide
I will try to do that. I planted the potatoes Memorial Day weekend. So that does hopefully give you some idea of when :)
I stared at my potato plants all afternoon wondering if it were time to harvest. I'm still undecided lol Nice video !
Thanks for teaching Sir
You harvest to early, But you know your weather is probably the better, Just in my Columbus Ohio area I wait till forlage is browner
It is too soon to know here. Mom and Dad planted a bed 22 feet long and about 5 feet wide with pontiacs and yukon golds. We planted them a little late so we won't know until around mid September.They will let us know when they are ready. Now if we could just do something about the squirrel that likes to dig them up! LOL Such a cheeky little booger!
Yukon Golds are a winner in my book. I just don't grow them because of my dislike of yellow potatoes. I don't know why I just don't like the flavor much of yellow potatoes.
my kennebecs did awesome along with Pontiac reds. I also grew all blue potatoes and I don't think they're the same as yours,but they did pretty good this year. I also grew russet Burbank and they were great producers. The surprise was my All red potatoes. they seemed to do really well. we grow Yukon gold even though they aren't huge producers. Ohio zone 6a.
I am glad to hear that you too had good luck with the kennebecs. They are such a winner!
Awesome harvest! I find the red potatoes does the best for me I tried the white with no luck. Mahalo for sharing!🌞
Thanks for stopping by Cheryl! Grow big and a big Mahalo back!
***** 👍🏼
A++++++!! I'm planting potatoes for the first time this year and I can't wait! I really want to get my hands on some Japanese sweet potatoes (the cream color flesh) because they are so delicious and so much more useable in many more ways than our "sweet potatoes." If I see them, I'm definitely grabbing some and hopefully I can keep my hands off them long enough to use them to grow!!
I highly recommend trying La Ratta potatoes. Very prolific growers, and they have a nice nutty/buttery flavor.Mine were specifically named "French La Rattas". I've tried fingerling type potatoes, and they are not the same....
Skunk69 x sounds interesting, where did you get these?
I always put all the super small potatoes together and use them for soup or roasted. I've been averaging 5 lbs of potatoes per seed potato. I always grow russet but this year I'm growing youkon gold red and purple potatoes as well. Happy gardening.
I'm in Corpus Christi,Tx zone 9a. I grow the Purple Majesty every year & it has yet to fail me we always end up with a great harvest plus the potatoes have a great flavor to them& makes cooking with them fun for my kid's. I also grow a few different red potatoes that do great for us,but the Yukon Gold is by far my favorite I love the butter taste they have & they seem to cook up better as well they don't stick or get mushy.
I grow red pontiacs every year,One year I planted what was called an improved red pontiac.WOW! the size was 2 or 3 times larger and was good keepers.The potato i am looking for but cant find is the Katana .Biggest potato I have ever seen.My neighbor planted a 25 lb sack couple years back and he harvested several hundreds of pounds
I am planting spuds right now since most of our frost threat is over, and I am putting them in raised beds where it will be easier for me to hill around them. I always do super well with Kennebecs, some take two hands to hold.
those purple majesty's are crazy! They just want to grow. I agree with a former poster about tasting the pinto before making a decision
i'm from the home of the salt potato. take all those small potatoes and boil them in a salt water brine and serve with melted butter!!! it's the best! i live in texas now and can't get them.
I’m excited about harvesting my Cherokee Reds here in NY. Going to do so this week.
Great potato harvest Luke! I planted my potatoes in containers this year. I planted Pontiac red and Yukon gold but this is the first time in containers. I will take pictures of my harvest and share them with you. Thanks for your videos. I really do enjoy them and I always learn something. Keep up the good work!
I’m amazed about purple potatoes, looks yummy...
So closely planted, so good. Pinto look delicious. Your plants are still very green. For keeping ours dried of very well. Our family has always grown sebago which we love. Other is dutch cream . Both delicious potatoes. Grown on southern highlands of NSW Australia, most recently just north of Canberra.
I am from Kennebec County, Maine. The Kennebec is hard to beat in quality and production on poor, rocky soils.
Growing Pontiac reds and Yukon gold. Zone 10 here in central Florida. Can’t wait to harvest them. Thank you for your video it was very educational. ❤️❤️
Potato harvests are always so satisfying
I enjoyed with you and nothing is best then a good harvest in the gardening.... Thank You for sharing these moments with us.
Hi Luke. In my opinion you should harvest a month from now, i.e. around Sep 20. The foliage should die off completely and the potatoes should stay in the ground for several weeks after that. That way the skin becomes rougher and the potatoes keep better. At least that's what we've always done here in Bulgaria (I live in the "potato"part of the country). We never harvest potatoes if the foliage is not dead (unless we'll cook them immediately). It also looks that the potatoes are still growing and a month from now the harvest would have been much better (the roots connecting them are fresh and alive, as when we're harvesting ours look dry and dead). I also think that if you let them sit in the ground after the foliage is dead their water content goes down and that also helps with storage...
I've always enjoyed your videos. Keep up the good work :)
I would love to since I think the potatoes would be a bit larger, however as I sated in the video we do not have the pleasure of doing that since once the wet season comes we lose many to rot.
I have always had good success with Pontiac Reds. I grew Irish Cobbler one year it is a 50 Day potato that was hugely productive and tasted great, but it is very thin skinned and hard to store. No one here has the seed potatoes for them anymore either. This year I am growing Russets and Yukon Golds.
Been growing potatoes now for a few years, and I try a variety of different types. They are all intermixed, so it is hard to tell which are which. Next year I will try fewer varieties and will keep track of exactly where I plant them. I harvested one plant that had started to turn brown, and got a pretty decent haul of Pontiac Reds. Will definitley plant again. I also know I planted Russet, Kennebec. and Yukon Gold. I live in western NY, and assume you are from Michigan, (MI gardener) probably very similar climate, so I subscribed. Cicero said, "A man with a garden and a library has everything he needs to survive." I have learned that at a later stage in life. Thanks for your videos. They are useful.
I live in between a zone 4b and 5a in upstate NY and always grow a few different varieties. Three of my favorites are; King Harry because they have superior Potato Beetle resistance are delicious and produce well. Prairie Blush are golden on the inside and white on the outside with a pink blush color in spots and were discovered on Wood Prairie Farm in Maine, and the other new favorite is Purple Viking. These can grow to very large size, are gorgeous, delicious and easiest of all potatoes I grow. I think the One Yard Revolution gardener also likes the Purple Viking. They are probably one of the most beautiful potatoes I've ever seen. I get great certified seed from Wood Prairie Farm and also save some of my potatoes for seed the next season. Thanks for your fantastic videos and information.
Thank you for those varieties! I have heard of purple viking, but I will definitely be on the lookout for the other two and maybe try one next year!
I'm in zone 4b/5a too! Here in Northern Michigan :) I plan on growing potatoes for the first time this year, so I made a note of those varieties - thanks!
this is actually very satisfying to watch
Love Yukon Gold. Great harvest.
Growing Pontic Red for couple of years. I have doubt on yield this year as we had a year's worth of rain only in month of July and almost 7 days of rain in August already. I just returned from The US and it's going to rain again. I will harvest them this week.
Last year two potatoes were over 2lbs.
That is crazy!!! We had some jumbos last year as well, but this year was dry as a bone and that might have played a role as well.
I love blue potatoes delicious. Make great mashed potatoes as well. Pontiac reds are our favorite. We grow kennebecs but like the reds better.
its cool how your living away from the garden and its still survivin!!!
I am going to try potatoes in pots next year. Best
Good luck Tom! Grow big or go home!
I tried German butterball, Kennebec, dark red chieftain, and purple viking in zone 5 near Chicago, IL. I grew the purple viking in "potato bags" and harvested a little early because the bags were infested with grubs. I got an ok harvest. the other varieties I planted in a raised bed and the Kennebec variety did the best. I will be growing those again next year and trying the purple majestic next year.
Nice Michele! How did the butterball do? Those are on our try list for next year. Also, The Red Chieftain, was it comparable to the red pontiac? Some say it is the same variety just different name.
The butterball wasn't fantastic. I posted some images of them on some FB pages thinking I might have gotten scab (it was the only variety in the bed that had the odd looking skin) and a few people mentioned my soil PH might have been off. My potato bed had horrible soil so I'm not going to write off any varieties just yet. I've never grown Red Pontiac so I'm not sure if the Red Chieftain is similar or not I will be doing Red Pontiac next year because of your wonderful reviews.
pacific northwest here. red norlands and Yukon golds. golds did ok, but got some summer blight and were harvested about 2 weeks too soon. red norlands simply do not care about anything...unstoppable growth and vigor...too hot, too humid, too wet or too dry, they just kept growing and producing.
PNW here to, Central Wa. Those purple majesties would not quit, great growers! The Pontiacs did really well too, but I didn't have much luck with Russet. But I think my fave earing potato is the King Edward
I know this is an older video but it was very interesting. I am just wondering if you have videos on storage of the different types of vegetables?
Check on the flavor of the pintos and then decide...sometimes, good things come in small packages! Don't forget, you picked all those potatoes early so that's why they are on the small side! Happy Gardening!
Will do! I suppose you are right, but we probably won't designate bed space for them. Maybe some grow bags!
Understandable!
Nice
I loved the purple majesty. I had a great harvest with them compared to the others.
Great to hear! But you also live in Michigan which may be why too! :D
Ha!
So, as far as I know, you should harvest potatoes when the plant yellows (dries out and dies). Of course you can harvest potatoes at any time and they will be edible, but by leaveing them untill the plant dies, will ensure that the potatoes grew to a maximum. And the fact that the plant did die, will not affect the potatoes on any way.
The Pinto's grow like gangbusters for me up here in Alberta, Canada, they get fairly big and taste fantastic. They also store well for us!
I am in Calgary, I have seen farmers growing potato in Red Deer area (including seed potato)
Very nice! I wish we got more... the harvest was so pitiful that it wasn't even worth a second go at it.
Have grown Red Pontiacs in containers, in ground, and on top of ground. They seem to do best in containers. In ground and on top, they give about 5 good potatoes for each start, and in containers they give 7. Am in Lower Middle Tennessee in Zone 7.
Bless your heart you could tell this harvest really wore you out! LOL I'm sure the heat added to that. Such a wonderful, bountiful harvest. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm gonna be ordering some things as soon as ya get them back in stock. God Bless!
Thank you lisa for dropping by! The heat did wear me out, but that was also because it was day 2 of working in the garden all day long. When I shot this it was the very end of day 2 and I was thoroughly wiped out! The seed store will be fully back November 1st of this year for the next year's gardening season!
Love watching potato harvest vids! So fun! Looking forward to getting some in our garden.
I have yet to “invest” in seed potatoes. I but them around December and let them eye. But nest year Im going to “buy” seed potatoes. thsnk you for your videos, I look forward to them.
Loosely high potassium soils are best for potatoes as I know. Using more mulch in potato beds and wood ash with charcoal may help to grow bigger and much more potatoes.
Have not grown potatoes. For what ever reason I had it in my head that potatoes were an over winter kind of vegetable. So I've never messed with them. Recently I've discovered that potatoes love very hot and dry weather. I live in central California. Why have I NOT even growing potatoes!
Well they can totally be left in the ground over winter, however many times they don't make it that long ;)

My potatoes are just popping up from the ground, Cant wait!!!!
I might even be able to get 3 harvest seasons this year due to warmer weather.
Its 01/18/19 and we are in USDA zone 9a
We are in 8b. What month do you usually plant your potatoes?
@@briansofie7463 I would guess end of December
Your garden and surrounding land is beautiful!
2015 fall plant, was surprised they produced in winter. 2016, I had a great spring harvest that came up on its own. 2016 a great fall harvest. 2017, nothing, zero. WAH. Planted again in the 2018, nothing. Out of nowhere 2019 has been great. Silly potatoes! Yukon and Klondike. I'm between Toledo and Cleveland.
potatoes are the best - thanks for the video!!
I like your videos as soon as I click them because I’ve never not enjoyed one.
Here in OKC, my tried and true variety is Yukon Gold with any red variety a close second. Larger varieties like Kennebec have never done well for me, I think it's because of our short "potato season." I plant in March and harvest in June, after that the ground is just too hot.
I've grown russets from store bought potatoes but they dont usually produce too well and always small trying out Pontiac reds this year from actual seed potatoes
this kind of makes me want to do an experiment. it would be awesome if you would let everyone know what you are doing a head of time and we could try them to to see if they do well in our area or not. nice to compare.
I think I watch this every year 😂😅 I rewatch all your videos .
beautiful garden
russet 8 plants 20gallon tub full... golden yellows 10 plants just short of a 20 gallon tub. i live in Washington state on the northeast corner. at an elevation of 3800 feet.I planted around the end of april was all dune by end of July
Please show the harvesting part. Thats most fun to watch
The German fingerlings might be perfect for container growing or in straw only
Maybe do the fingerlings in a huge tub - dump = then you know where to look and be sure to get them all where they are smaller
Wow, that is a lot of potatoes, i will have to try that down here in Florida next spring.
Jags fan??? i had to subscribe! #GoJags lol
Thank you very much for sharing.
i love potato and i wish i can do planting by my self 🙂
Great harvest🌱🌱🌱
Thanks Gale!
I am growing some in a cooler here in the desert 89003 we have had some brutaly hot weather so this should be interesting! I think I will dig some tomorrow
I am doing the Kennebecs this year. I just love them and they are such a wonderful all round good for everything potato. The Reds are nice too and I am putting a small amount of those in too. I did enjoy your video but am wondering why you did not let the tops die completely off? It seems to me that you would get even more growth if you had done that. I also found the Pintos interesting...to tell the truth I have seen them in stores but always just thought something was wrong with the spots on them...lo now I know better. We are in the London Ontario Canada area here and I am old and done many years of farming in my past. But I am still able to learn it seems.
You rote a book pretty much lol
We tried Yukon Golds this year. First time I've ever tried to grow potatoes. The only ones that did well were in containers. None of my garden potatoes ever flowered but we have clay soil on which I used the double dig method. I'm thinking there was too much composting going on in the soil. Atlanta area here. Trying some red potatoes we got at Costco that started chitting now. But, in containers until I can get the soil treated with some gypsum and a little yard waste spread by the chickens.
Really nice harvest you 2! Thanks for the update!
Thanks for stopping by!
Always do! :D
Awesome video!! Very interesting to watch your harvest..Thank You!!!
A huge thumbs up for the soil quality - A++
i did potatoes for the first time last year here in ct. in 5 gal. buckets and grow bags the white supirors were alright the red pontiacs were great planting them again this year the gold franklins suck.
That's a pretty good harvest! Like you said, the only way to find out how a variety will turn out is to actually plant it :-)
You got that right! I want to send you some potatoes.... Wish there was a way to make that happen where I could guarantee they wouldn't end up as mashed potatoes at your door lol.
Lol I know right? Then I would end up with mashed potatoes lol Thank you, though :-)
Your soil is gorgeous 😍😍
I am actually looking for a tiny potato variety to grow . We love the tiny ones . We get them from our farmers market every summer
Great haul. Kennebec has always given me the best results, too.
Great harvest! Ive grown tons of different veggies over the years but never potatoes. Ill need to try this next year!!
The small potatoes would make perfect creamed potatoes.
We always wait for the plants to grow down to brown and then harvest them but our soil. Near Traverse City has a lot of sand and Sandy loam soil so it's good good drainage but you had a fantastic amount your potatoes you dug
I LOVE Traverse city. Have you ever been to the ice cream shop Milk and Honey? Worth a trip if you haven't.
+MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living got to try it. You are never too old to learn. Thank you for the much appreciated lessons and sharing your knowledge
+Robert Haines you need to try Moomers
Hello . Loving these tutorials . What part of this lovely world are you at ? Thanks again from Nth Queensland , Australia
We are in Michigan, which is a state of the United States.
@@MIgardener USDA zone would be helpful.
Nice haul. French fingerling Yukon gold red Pontiac any type of russet upstate New York all did well russets will little small
When will we see a harvest video coming from you man?!? I have been waiting for anything for months! You always have such beautiful stuff coming out of the ground.
Love, love, love your harvest videos !!! Your potatoes blessed you tremendously !!! It must be so fun finding recipes for all those!! I'm in zone 9 and have done well with the red and purple ones, waiting on my sweets now!! Will you keep some for seed for next year??
Hi Kristy, I am in SE Tx which is also zone 9. I have never grown potatoes, and we have had so much rain the past few days, I keep thinking with the soaking rain and humidity, potatoes wouldn't do well here, although I think sweet potatoes do. What kind of potatoes do you grow? I don't know if I should try them in a container or not. I don't do well with container gardening.
+Kurious Kat Hi, I've grown purple and red in containers and ground and they both did well . Growing sweets now in ground, didn't have luck with the ref white potato but I think it was the sets. You should try it is so much fun , like digging for gold!! Good luck!
It is so much fun to cook with stuff from the garden. We just had some fingerling potatoes and wowzers they were so creamy and I will definitely be growing them next year.
Can you do some videos on the way you prepare the plants to eat and describe the flavors
Great harvest
Paulo Bondoc your beautiful
I will be building a 12' x 4' raised bed over the winter. Can I grow potatoes on one long side and tomatoes (Roma) on the other? I live in northern Alabama so I have a longer growing season than you. BTW. You have inspired me to go bigger with my garden.
Absolutely you can grow them side by side! Go for it! And thank you for the kind words. We provide the inspiration, but you owe it all to yourself to take up the challenge!
I love your info and results... BUT what about quality and more importantly taste
Awwwwesome...........WOW!!~ Love those potatoes!!~
I have been told to wait until vines wilt. Usually September.
