  • Drought, what drought?! As you'll see in this video I'm quite pleasantly surprised by this year's potato harvest considering we had such hot temperatures this summer of up to 39C. Join me as I harvest all my spuds and share what I think made this harvest survive the heat!

    Growing food is not about saving money. It’s about developing a skill and achieving success, and learning from failures. If you happen to save money, then it’s a bonus. ❤🎉😊

    Today is June 11th 2024 and believe it or not but we are still getting Morning Frosts here in Scotland. (So much for global warming) I hope my lovely Red Pipers wont be affected too much.

    Great inspiring video. Our favourite Potato is Marfona, they are healthy and very tasty.
    From a 30-litre plastic bucket. 2 seed potatoes per bucket. Bought compost from Garden Centre. We average 9 pounds weight per bucket. Just add Chicken manure pellets and Fish, blood and bone.

    Hey, your potatoes did really nicely. I would be very pleased with that harvest. I'm eating my home garden spuds now too. My garden gives me just about all the vegetables I ever use. About the only vegetable I ever buy from the store are onions as I don't grow Spanish onions. My garden is right outside my cabin door so I don't have to drive to get there which means a lot. I've always been really happy I can grow so much of my own food. Dahlias are blooming great right now too. Enjoy your spuds. Cheers!

    Hi its Tina my favorites are also Charlotte's I grow 2 in a 35lt pot and grow loads when the foliage dies back I store the buckets in my emptied greenhouse I stack them 3 high then cover the top buckets in fleece then just harvest the buckets as I need them I don't water I let the compost dry I have kept them right through to April with no problems love the vlog

    Hi from Australia.
    Fantastic result again. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
    You had the sort of summer we would usually deal with in SA - probably on the mild side for us. Things I usually have to manage when growing potatoes in tubs are greening of potatoes from sunlight and heat but most importantly irrigation. When it’s hot and dry it’s tricky to keep the top of the pot moist without having sludge in the bottom. If I got ants in a pot here I might consider a flame thrower. They are nasty buggers on this side of the planet.
    I planted my first seed taters for this spring a fortnight ago (Charlotte) and the second this weekend (Sebago) - keeps the progression happening. King Edwards next. They go well for me.
    My favourite variety is Kipfler - similar in shape to Fir Apple. They are ‘waxy’ and make the best potato salad ever.
    The worst homegrown potato knocks a supermarket potato out of the park.

    I keep used peat compost in dustbins. My potatoes are grown in 20l buckets and I use the same compost every time with added nutrients. The great thing about buckets is that they can easily be moved. The first frost was last weekend here in Wales and the potatoes had a sleep over in my lounge as they are frost tender. The potatoes I'm growing now are second mains for harvest around December. The first mains were harvested at the end of August as they were ready. Average of 2.5kg per bucket.

      @mikelucas3746 9 месяцев назад

      That's it really. A couple bags of this compost comes in at around £20.00 which rather defeats the purpose. I collect stable waste and compost it down on a large scale and amend with a potato fertiliser. The hard work with such high temperatures these days is watering.

    Hello. May 2nd from FL. Your video inspired me to run out to my small back garden and dig the top layer of a small container potato plant and I saw one near the surface. I struggled with it because I did not want to disturb the plant. A double potato finally came out. This is the third time since planting March 1st that the same plant has given me a bunch of small potatoes. I have 30 other plants to let mature in the proper way. I sometimes dig down and get sweet potatoes that way as well. Thanks.

    Amazon harvest. Cannot beat the flavour of home grown potatoes. I love fir apple and love sarpo axona (couldn’t get them in recent years) however any home grown potatoes have amazing flavour. Worth it for everyone to grow a few buckets
    I have wire worm so buckets have worked best

    i'm all for the potato reveals, I find them really exciting! Inspired by you growing potatoes in pots I tried it myself for the first time this year and grew some second earlies called Collen (I think you may have grown them in the past too). They turned out great! Was very pleased with growing my own potatoes and will definitely do it again next year but grow more, and maybe a few varieties or an early and a main crop. Your pink ruff ones look very interesting, will be intrigued to hear how they taste

    Well done with your harvest. There’s no better potato than home grown. I think shop bought spuds are expensive and lacking in flavour. I grow ALOT of potatoes every year and this year I only watered them when I planted them and I was amazed. We only used stored water that we collected over winter so needed that for the greens, roots, onions and some new trees. I mulched the spuds with grass clippings and kept my fingers crossed. I had a little scab but a high yield on pink fir Apple (which I love) and Kestrel. 😅 it was a good, good lesson and saved me so much time not watering.
    Looking forward to your next garden tour.. x

    A better comparison than the price of potatoes in the store is the price of any other hobby that promotes an active, outdoor lifestyle. Gardening doesn't have to be expensive and you get potatoes out of the deal to boot!

    Nice harvest. Here is central Alabama, USA (which is much further south than where you are), I typically plant potatoes in February and harvest them in June. Usually by the end of June, the soil has gotten too warm for the plants to continue living. So that is when I harvest my potatoes.

  • @jntdad
    @jntdad 2 года назад

    Yep Pink Fir Apple and Charlotte for waxy best flavour - Sarpo Blue Danube for roasties, wedges and baked. I also store in the same way you do - Pink Fir Apple store really well and unlike supermarket potatoes will not sprout in under a week when in the warm kitchen. My soil based potatoes have universally outperformed my container counterparts - much higher yields with more and larger potatoes. This year I have grown Charlotte, Jazzy,Pink Fir Apple, Maris Peer, Picasso, Sarpo Axona, Sarpo Blue Danube and Sarpo Mira. I think the difference was down to the Containers (black) overheating and drying the compost - Considering gravel tray bases to act as water trays. Anyway, you have a good crop there and varieties not often found in the shops (well charlotte can easily be found - but the others...) ttfn and keep up the gardening 🙂

    You've got me interested in the pink fur potatoes now, never heard of them before😃 I'm growing mostly Desiree potatoes as they are doing ok, ever since I've read that red skinned potatoes are healthier, I've kept to them. I've tried Setanta (?) last year but they don't like it too dry. The Desiree potatoes did pretty well considering the weather but with room for improvement.

  • @chris230291

    I have been growing in grow bags. Last year was amazing. This year was a bit of a mix. I don't buy compost for potatoes because like you say its not really worth it. Instead I keep reusing the same compost but add potato fertilizer. To me growing potatoes is just for fun really. At this point I think the compost is about 5 years old.
