@@Painted_Owl you can tell visually. The plant will look sick and die back. You can start harvest then but I stop watering it and wait several more days to 1 week depending on the weather before harvesting!
I know it sounds weird but try growing them in washed-up seaweed! You don't need to dig a hole or anything just put a layer of seaweed on the ground then the potatoes and then more seaweed on top!
That’s why I love growing potatoes! They are the gift that keeps on giving, they are easy to grow and yield substantial amounts of food that keeps well! Everyone should try it out!
We Asian eat rice, so I save my 50 pounds rice bags to grow potatoes. I harvest a lots of potatoes. First, I rolled the bags down 2/3 of the bags. When the plants grew I rolled the bags up, added in more dirt. More roots more tubers, more potatoes. In Fall when the plants die down. Put the bags into the wheel barrel, cut the bags from top to bottom to harvest the potatoes. Dump the dirt into the garden, sort the potatoes and eat. Fresh potatoes are so good!
I did it once to prove a point to my 16YO son. We had a potato grow roots in the pantry and he was confused as to what was happening. I told him that it was a plant and it was trying to grow. He didn't believe me! 🤣 So I grew the potato out on the back patio. We got about eight small potatoes out of that little plant when we harvested. 😁
*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA* 16 yr old daughter don't like potatoes, loves mashed potatoes, like someone who hates cheese but loves 4 cheese pizza... anyway daughter saw my little grape size potatoes she exclaimed "they're so cuuuuuute!" now she steals my baked 'taters with all the trimmings. those grape size potatoes i threw them in my ramen
If you keep using the best potatoes (by whichever measure you prefer) for the next generation again and again, you’ll get potatoes that are better suited for not only your preferences but also your environment.
Hadn't considered we could kind of select out the things we grow, that sounds super cool! But how would I know what veggies taste best if I don't eat them 😅
No way I can store potatoes for a year or next season in tropical areas especially in rainy season, everything starts to sprout before rainy season ends. Always ended up buying from market again for planting 😩.
Do not place your potatoes 🥔 with onions 🧅 as it’ll help it grow roots. Onions produce a high level of ethylene gas, which will cause potatoes to ripen - and go bad - before you're ready to use them. However, those spuds aren't completely innocent, either; potatoes' high moisture content can cause onions to liquefy and leak.
My aunt used to use the kids old swimming pools. She had her husband drill a few holes in the bottom, threw in some straw, emptied a bag of soil on top. Place the potatoes in. And had another bag of soil on top. As they grow, just add more soil. When you're ready to harvest just dump over the pool. No digging. I like the laundry basket idea better. Much easier to deal with.
I had a pup who loved stealing potatoes from our pantry. We kept them at the bottom so when ever the door was left open, she would help herself. I’ll never forget the day when my family moved our couches from the living room to clean our carpets. Burrowed under were a crop full of half eaten potatoes in various stages of regrowth. This video reminded me of her… Miss you girl. 🥔🥔🥔
Yup, my Irish ex father in-law showed me how to do it. And at the time I was pregnant with my second child. I had a big garden, and I did it all by myself. 💪🤗
Yes. We had a vegetable farm. At the end of the season my dad cut up leftovers so each piece had an eye. That was our potato plants next season. We froze or canned most of our vegetables to last until next season. It was joy to be hungry and dig up a small potato or pick a tomato and dust it off and eat it warm.
Not me remembering that bag of potatoes in my pantry that looks like a science experiment 😂😂 Guess I’m planting those bad boys and harvesting potatoes later this season ❤ Thanks for the great info in a quick & easy to understand video. Informative and precise, I appreciate that!!
I did last year but I gave up because I didn't think anything was growing. I pulled the out and had 4 tiny potatoes and a fully grown one. Well, I kept them in my pantry and they sprouted this year. They are growing as I type this along with a bunch more. Can't wait to eat potatoes that I grew myself 😊
I do this each year i plant carrot tops , onions peppers using the tops with seeds grow fast. IT is so easy. Thanks for giving me another container idea. God Bless
I accidentally grew potatoes this year, I threw some with eyes on them out in my compost pile and when my husband moved some of the compost around our garden multiple potato plants just started popping up, so we got a ton of accident potatoes
I threw cantaloupe rinds and seeds in our compost a couple months ago. Opened it up a month later and had probably 50, 60 cantaloupe seedlings. I dug out 6 and transplanted them, but next time into the compost and I must have about 80 6 inch cantaloupe plants, sturdier and with more leaves than the ones I actually planted in the sun! I guess my compost is good quality and ready to use in the garden, just as soon as I figure out what to do with all these cantaloupe plants!
Hi from NJ, yes I did regrow 2 sweet potatoes orange color In 2022. It was so fun, our soil wasn't the best so I used miracle grow and our soil mix and I put 2 sunflowers plants on top. It was fun 16 potatoes grew, after storing them away I did have 3 for dinner. It was fun. Doing it this year too.
btw for when your chitting i would reccomend leaving them in sunlight as you chit as this gives the stems coming off he potatoe a greener look and leads to a better harvest
Lots of sprouts wow!! I planted Yellow Potatoes in 2 cardboard boxes. I harvested them yesterday.The first box harvest is uploaded to my channel. I didn't cut the potatoes. I think I still did okay. I will definitely plant them again. Now, I am getting ready to plant Sweet Potato Slips and Russet Potatoes. Love the laundry basket idea.😊
Yes, and purple potatoes grew like crazye. I wase worried theye woulde freeze and rote. Theye must have been a variant of Peruvian ones grown on the Altiplano cute sweet potatoes are pretty grown. In a jar in your windoww. But eventually thee water really STINKS!!
We have done this for many years. Another fun thing to grow is sweet potatoes. Just fill the basket with dirt before you plant. The vines are amazing as edible greens or decoration.
I have, it's so easy. Where i live i have good soil for potatoes, i just dug some holes, put the potatoes in whole, and a few months later gathered about thirty or forty potatoes.
Buy a 5 pound bag of potatoes and you‘ll be able to eat for the rest of your life, even if all you have for a garden is an old laundry basket, a box, dirt and a balcony. You might suffer from scurvy among other things, but at least you‘ll have a full belly.
My spuds over grow every month. So do my onions. The onions can still be used, l just cut out the rotten parts. The green sprouts taste like green onions.
Oh we do this often. So I find it funny when I see stores selling sprouted potatoes😅. Anyways, this one year, me n mum put a red skinned potato in the soil next to a normal cream skinned potato, but didn't space them far apart. That year we got both red potato harvest and cream potato harvest. But then, in the next harvest we got mixed skinned patchy red and cream skinned potatoes 🥔. I call them mixed race potatoes and I found it so cool that nature makes its own hybrids.
Stores sell sprouted potatoes specifically for planting because in general it's not recommend to plant regular cooking potatoes as there's a risk of spreading deceases...
@@aafiyabinthahmad9022 Yes, grew up with an uncle with a farm and my Dad has always grown fruit, veggies and peppers! I grow my own herbs and aloe vera!😊
I take mine and the most random places in my garden to plant them . I find the plant itself is actually stunning in the garden and it's a fun surprise to see what the harvest bring in
I have regrown my own potatoes. I probably didn't have them in the right spot, because I didn't get that many, but it was still pretty amazing. Since some of them were baby potatoes, I didn't even need to cut them.
Hey, just so that you know, store bought potatoes will grow. However they aren't certified disease free. It is wiser to plant potatoes that are certified disease free. These are sold for planting.
Wow! Have you ever had a problem with ants? I did not get a single potato last year (but they grew & grew beautifully until they eventually died back)…when I went to harvest the potatoes, there was NOTHING there…just a MILLION ants.😢
I've accidentally grown potatoes, tomatoes, tomatillos, and if I lean the wheelbarrow against the inside of the back wall, I'll usually get a chicken nest and eggs lol.
Grew one hell of a zuccini plant this way. Wasnt a compost pile that refused to compost. Lots of sticks and air flow with next to no mosture. More of a sad brish pile. But the zuc put out a ton of fruit and one made it to the size of a 2 liter bottle.
Do not eat the fruit that grows above ground on potato plants. They look like tomatoes, but are apparently not safe for eating. Please correct me if in wrong. Also potato flowers are freaking beautiful
I'm so glad this video popped up! I just harvested about 20 lbs of potatoes, & I've saved a few to replant. It was so much fun & they are delicious. ❤😊
So how many seed potatoes do you have to plant in a laundry basket? Also how deep do you plant the? So I guess when they are ready to harvest, or do you have to pull up the plant or do you tip over the basket? I think I might have to give this a shot and I hope that it works for me. Thank you for all that you do 🥰
I remember as a kid from the countryside, getting in trouble at school because I wrote something about the boxes that potatoes are, or at least were, kept in to chit. These boxes are called "chitting boxes", and were used by kids to build dens, forts etc. My townie teacher was convinced I had used a rude word and insisted I changed it.
yes I have done this too with white potatoes & they were delicious & free! I bought two half barrels & filled with dirt. I took sweet potatoes & got them to grow roots, then planted them . Last yr. (2022) I got about 15 lbs. they were small & medium size but they're delicious & free!
i remember and i did it ,i bought some seed potato and planted the ones from my pantry in the fall they're not ready to be harvested but the plants looks as beautiful as the seed potatoes i bought. ❤❤
I’ve been debating doing seed or grocery store potatoes but since I’m trying to sell these I figured it’s probably best to go with seed potatoes since I’ll be making the money back anyways
Yesss!!! I’m growing some now! I put the entire potatoes uncut In a large plastic tree pot. The ones when u buy a tree you remove it from the pot to be planted… well I recycled that one and now it’s a potato garden. One month down and two more to go before I get to pull my potato surprises up! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So, my sister-in-law discovered potatoes growing in some of the empty lots in her subdivision. Turns out, long before any houses were built, the area was a huge potato farm! There were so many, she got some neighbors to help her harvest them, and everybody shared the bounty
When I was in grade 4 (1990) composting was pretty new where I’m from so my teacher asked me to start a compost as makeup for being a poor student. We accidentally grew new potatoes in the compost but never consumed them
I do this often. Seed potatoes are expensive! I just spent $7.99 to buy 6 seed potatoes of Russian banana. I felt lucky tho. I got 7 taters in the box 😅 But I save about 20 seed potatoes each year from the ones before and I also grow out any store bought ones that sprout and go bonkers. I'm quite addicted to the mini potatoes that you find in the store. They end up being almost invasive as I cant always find every one whilst harvesting and get plenty of volunteers 😊
Yes. We do it every year in Romania. But we do it in a big garden. That is a great idea. You eat what you grow. It's more healthy. You can do it with any potatoes, is not necessary to be rotten. Just that the process of growing is longer👍🏻
Red potatos very exciting and fun watching them grow! I felt like a mini farmer 😅 . when it got time to harvest them there were small baby red ones tried one after boiling them , the skin taste bitter , but the photo was tasty with butter 🧈 😊
When I was a kid, we planted something called a tomatoe-potatoe plant. The tomato end didn't do too well, but underneath we had some darling potatos to lift!
I grow potatoes last year like this! The best part is digging them out on harvest day! Digging for gold
When is harvest day? How do you know, or do you just keep going until you’re tired of waiting?
@@Painted_Owl you can tell visually. The plant will look sick and die back. You can start harvest then but I stop watering it and wait several more days to 1 week depending on the weather before harvesting!
I know it sounds weird but try growing them in washed-up seaweed! You don't need to dig a hole or anything just put a layer of seaweed on the ground then the potatoes and then more seaweed on top!

Is it easy to grow potato? Because its so easy for potatoe to sprout if left unattended
In tropical countries, this applies more to cassava 😃 after the harvest you can regrow it by simply replanting the bark.
Do you keep them inside or outside in a basket like that?
& the leaves is Edible on soup or steam.
We Asian eat rice, so I save my 50 pounds rice bags to grow potatoes. I harvest a lots of potatoes.

They're all clones of eachother because of the way potatoes grow, the DNA is identical. So that wouldn't change anything.
... Not unless you grow them from the seed, otherwise they are perfect clones of the starting potatoes
Prove it
No way I can store potatoes for a year or next season in tropical areas especially in rainy season, everything starts to sprout before rainy season ends. Always ended up buying from market again for planting 😩.

Super tips! Just found this out recently!🤦♀️☺️
I put em together all the time & they're just fine
😮😮😮 well this is good to know! I often put potatoes in my garlic/onion bin 😬
I think the issue here is the potatoes got too hot, they should be storwd somewhere cold like the basement
This makes sense now. I just realized what happened to my potatoes and onions that had stacked in wooden crates over each other.. The more you know..
My aunt used to use the kids old swimming pools. She had her husband drill a few holes in the bottom, threw in some straw, emptied a bag of soil on top. Place the potatoes in.

What I like is,even if you missed any potatoes when you harvest them. It will come up again next year.

You mean you don't have to grow slips first?
Why did I read this as seed potatoes 💀
Ideally, you grow sweet potatoes as slips, break them off and plant them well spaced, else they become overcrowded leading to lower yields.
I lay the sweet potatoes on its side, and burst it halfway. Then pluck the slips off and bury those.
Sprouting potatoes are awesome! Who knew they got such pretty little flowers on them too?
I always have! Never ending supply!
I have, it's so easy. Where i live i have good soil for potatoes, i just dug some holes, put the potatoes in whole, and a few months later gathered about thirty or forty potatoes.

Pro tip: if you do not want your storage potatoes to sprout, get a big container and put the potatoes in there, top it off with with DRY white sand
I think it is good to let the cut part of the potato to dry for a day or two before planting.
Plant potatoes in the flowerbeds, as you dig them up there's always few tiny ones left behind. Potatoes for free every year.
Great idea 💡👍

Do not eat the fruit that grows above ground on potato plants. They look like tomatoes, but are apparently not safe for eating. Please correct me if in wrong.

Correct, only the roots are safe. Any thing above ground is toxic

When I was a kid, we planted something called a tomatoe-potatoe plant. The tomato end didn't do too well, but underneath we had some darling potatos to lift!
