I planted 1 store bought potato as an experiment thinking I would get maybe one or two for my efforts!
Imagine my surprise when I harvested TWENTY TWO Beautiful medium size potatoes... 3.3 pounds!
Still giggling at my friend who said... "your only gonna get one" LOL! :-) They were delish!!!
22 from 1 wow! I'll take those returns any day! :)
Awesome!
@Benjamin Jowett you have a (despicable me) mom

Benjamin Jowett how long did it take
I love his passion towards his garden
Me too lol...love his smile too...seeded some plants listening to him lol
Can't beat free food!!! 😁😁😁
That venomous snake in the chicken shack episode!!!! Yikes!
kabi cabby i know his reactions are so cute
Has anyone grown potatoes in reusable grocery bags?
I repurposed feral store-bought russet potatoes into my garden years ago when I lived in Louisiana in the USA. That's right. I just stuffed these supermarket potatoes into the heavy clay water-logged red soil of my Louisiana back yard. I didn't hill the soil-- just ran the roto-tiller through the clay and plopped the potatoes into the heavy ground. Reaped a very large harvest, although like you, the potatoes were small to medium sized. They tasted great. What a success. My Cajun neighbors thought I was nuts till I showed them the results. God's hand at work!
I am a lucky dipper and grow whatever shoots. It is fun and the feeling I get matches your last laugh and sigh.
Now that's what I'm talking about! Cheers :)
Maybe the size of the potato has to do with the soil type? Maybe clay soils make it harder to get big tubers while loose soils are easier. Dunno, might experiment on this.
Exactly what I'm doing. I'm like I'm not burying a potato a foot under ground. But it's still growing lol
I recently discovered a cloth pull tie bag (used for storing potatoes to supposedly keep them fresh for longer) that I had hanging behind a door in my kitchen, that I’d not noticed for nearly two years, I had thought it was empty anyway, but there were stalks sticking out of the top, and as it turns out... strings and strings of potatoes... long since turned into rocks, but still! No light, no soil, no water! That’s why I’ve taken an interest now... blew me away lol
I've done this a couple of times now with Store bought potatoes & have ended up with a huge harvest much like yours & I did it in Pots. Also I think the old Wives Tale about not doing it because of diseases spreading is probably a lie propagated by Big Business because if we all started growing our own, we wouldn't be going into the Stores & buying thiers ; )
I agree Peter it's probably a convenient tale told by big business... Cheers :)
An English farmer bought Scottish certified seed potatoes and in one of the sacks he found his pocket knife lost the previous year. Make what you will of that!
I did 1 potato in a 52L pot and it ended up failing badly.... i only had little pathetic potato's which looked weird and made me look bad....
Wow... YES. I was about to throw my old potatoes out.....be digging outside tomorrow......wooohooo....thanks for that...
Any tips for planting in pots?
I planted out that same bag of baby potatoes, it has in big bold lettering on the back 'NOT FOR PLANTING'! I was like hmmm planting planting planting get dem taters planting - scored a beautiful harvest. Thanks for your videos. Always enjoyable 😃
Hahahaha Stick it to the MAN!!
Not for planting lol... Hmmm, seems like a clever ploy to buy more to me - good on ya! :)
@@Selfsufficientme you are my legend!
THey also tell you that you will never get avocados if you plant the seeds from store bought... bwahahahahah. Bullshit. Avocadoes take around 7. years before they mature... that's it.
I threw some old rancid potato’s in my fire pit with the intention of burning them off with some other rubbish, a few months later with no fire my firepit is sprouting 😂😂
potatoes aint supposed to grow with a basic pH setting
Starting a new trend growing ready baked potatoes ?
@@mikeharrington5593 😂🤣
Fun trick - you can do this with lettuce too. After you take off all the leaves plant the core.
Justin White and green onions
Cabbage, broccoli, celery.
@@loislangley2975 ooh celery might be good too.
Carrots, and anything with seeds in it, I have tomatoes, chillis, pea greens (just bury dried peas) an apple tree, and a cherry seedling (though that’s a lot more difficult- as u have to get it out of the pit first and put it through a germination process 😫) I’ve done these during the winter, in Ireland, indoors, and without grow lights... except for the tomatoes, which I started during the summer, but I recently planted some more tomato seeds, and put them in the window, and they’ve sprouted too! ... imagine what u could grow in some place that got some actual sun 😆
@@carolinebarrett4736 be careful with Apple seeds as you will likely get crab apple tree. Apples do not grow true to seed.
This dude can plant rocks and they'll surely grow💪very good work you're doing there👍👍👍👍👍 new subbie from Kenya!!

What is it with this guy that makes me watch his videos😁, videos short , relaxing, to the point .. amazing how internet works ...
My first experience with growing something store bought was about 1964 when I was 5 years old and they used to sell popcorn and oil in a bottle you could pop it on the stove and the oils already with it. Well I took about 10 of those popcorn kernels out to the backyard and dug a trench and planted them and within six weeks we had corn coming up out of the ground! My mother could not believe it. We live in a suburban area now where we can't plan anything but since I've watched your videos with the free standing planners, I'm thinking of getting back into some backyard gardening. Thanks Mark! Peace!
Thank you for showing that store bought potatoes actually produce! Years ago, I've had several with growths, but always thought I would just get leaves. Now, I have several potatoes now with small growths. That is why I watched this video! Thanks!!! Love your channel. Just found it a few days ago.
I swear you’re my favorite vegetable gardener! Thanks for what you do.
Marc, I just planted some white potatoes that had sprouted and I can't believe how quickly they're growing! They look very healthy and tough. I can't wait to see how many I get from a few little shriveled ones. I've also planted the rooted and of green onions I got at the supermarket and in about a week, they're all grown back and look great.
I did the same thing this spring, and although the potatoes aren't ready to harvest yet, the plants are HUGE... absolutely thriving! I love the excitement of gambling in the garden. 😁
It is really amazing the amount of patatoes grow from so few and in just 8 weeks blow's my mind
It is like Christmas morning finding those in the soil huh? 😂 I can't wait to try this.
Never had issues growing from store bought potatoes. I always end up with gnarly looking potatoes in the cupboard and into the ground they go!
What. Do you grow potatoes?
Just planted 3 different types of potatoes in 3 different containers, they hold about a 125 pounds (57kg) of soil each, hopefully it will yield some good results.
What a fantastic return. See this is why I love your channel. You break down those myths that I can go find in at least 3/4 of my gardening books. Totally going to give this a go!
I have regrown potatoes like you show here - with various results. I agree that it is worth a try. I have also cut the ends off of onions and scallions and regrown them from the roots - I never lack for green onions now. Recently, I tried regrowing celery - I cut the last 2 inches off, put that in some water that covered the bottom about 1/2 inch.There is now some beautiful green shoots coming out of the top. It is such fun to see thing like this happen.
Your happiness is contagious! Haha I am doing the same now. Can't wait to see how they produce in a growbag. Thanks for all the vids! I've learned so much 🙏
I bought seed potatoes recently because I didn't think the narly ones would work. Top job mate!
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I am now growing tomatoes, onions, potatoes, jalapeños. Thanks to the lockdown too. Shoutout from South Africa.
Now this is life!!!!!!! Ugh nothing better than knowing exactly where your food came from 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This video might be 4yrs old but still very useful. The first one I've come to and I got all of my questions answered. Nothing fancy just good old gardening.
Just Got on to this Guy in Covid Lockdown! Interesting! Very Interesting!
Your a legend Mark, keep up doing what you love mate
Store-bought round and trellis tomatoes have been a success for me in recent months. A big thank-you to your channel as well as Rob Bob's and several other content creators for encouraging folks to have a crack at it. The rewards are worth the effort.
Mike, I love your passion and adventurous spirit
Just discovered your channel and very grateful. My partner and I have just purchased a block in northern nsw and look forward to putting your very informative videos to use. Thank you sir
Great day!!! What a harvest!!!
Great stuff! You have inspired me. I have a bag of gnarly red spuds from the store, they are sitting by my compost pile awaiting their turn through the chipper, but I thought "why not try to grow them?" When I searched, I saw your video, and of course if you come up in a search, I watch. Thanks so much. I love your terminology, "feral, rogue, mongrel potatoes." LOL Thanks!
Thank you for the great info, I will try this. I am in baby steps trying to establish my garden to grow veggies. I have so far grown spinach, tomatoes, all varieties of herbs, now my cucumbers have come out and my strawberries are growing slowly but surely. I am in South Africa about 30 km from the coast and we have heat wave summers, so my husband and I have made a net protected "green house" for the sensitive plants, and it works great.
I can't express how much I enjoy your content, it makes me want to devote myself to nature a lot more than I thought I'd ever be.
Once again, you have inspired me...I have some scraggly old potatoes that I wasn't sure about. Now I'll plant them! Thanks for spreading Self Sufficiency!
So great that people like you are able to share your experiences giving us incredible tips and knowledge about gardening...keep up the sharing most appreciated...
Just wanted to say, Mark, I love your videography. Nice use of footage, music, slow motions effects and humour. Keep it up!
This is the first video of yours that I’ve watch and I’m hooked!
What a great video - wonderful to see a man so delighted
I love your channel! your words and your results just get me so excited for gardening
My store bought potatoes from scraps are growing like crazy here I just cannot wait to see how many I get! So much fun and such a money saver too. 🙂
Mark. You are an inspiration in a time when we all should be “experimenting”!
Whatever I’m looking for, you’ve done it and made a video! Thanks so much👏
Love your work, great honest presentation and you’re a great inspiration to give it a go.
My grandmother showed me how to do this and I'm glad to see others doing it.
I planted sweet potatoes that had sprouted in the cupboard in my front yard and they did a fantastic job of shading the ground, I ate the greens all summer, harvested lots of sweet potatoes and also left some in the ground to improve our clay soil. This spring they have sprouted again, so will do it all over again. 😊. I put my food scraps under the mulch and now I have butternut squash plant that didnt die off in our winter that has over 6 butternut squashes on it. I have planted spring onions and garlic that have gotten old and they have survived.
Love this guy's enthusiasm
I really like you! You are down home honest and so helpful and FUN to watch!!
Thanks for sharing and always being so passionate about it!!! 😍
Love your shirt and love your video! This will be my third year of growing potatoes every time has been different tatoes different soil/environment.. soo happy to see other success stories from winging it!!! :)
I love your gardening passion, showing all this great tips thanks for sharing 👍
Always have good results from your info , cheers mate
I love this! I was so happy to see you digging up all that gold!
Video is great brother! I love seeing the results. Most videos they just show you how to plant it without the harvest. Loving it
I enjoy your videos, you spread such joy for gardening. Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for this vid Mark I will be planting all my old potatoes after watching this.
Mark, I wholeheartedly love your videos. I've been successful in my gardens for years but I bought my 1st house last year and being in high altitude in the us, I've been watching a lot of how to videos and even though you are half way across the globe I can use you're knowledge and I've seen better success in my backyard garden.. cheers my friend. Keep up the helpful content.
I've used store bought potatoes that had started "chitting" several times and been very happy with the results. I am a backyard gardener in Southern California. Love your easy going style and attitude towards gardening. Look forward to more videos.
Awesome way to prevent waste , love it .
I have they grow just fine for me. I did mine in buckets last year. Great video ❤
I love your videos! I’m a new patio gardener, and I did your videos amusing, inspiring, and encouraging! Thank you. :)
So my pops just shared a story with me about his mom throwing old peels and feral potatoes out the kitchen window. In fact a lot of their scraps went out that kitchen window. Anyways a couple months later they had tons of potatoes. Enough to share with the neighbors.
Your passion towards your garden and your plants you inspire me so much thank you
We have planted our old potatoes and the results were Awesome!!!
OMG, this make me so happy. I am in North Borneo and the lockdown got me challenging myself to grow Idaho, Dutch and Oz spuds in raise bed and grow bags. Google said we are in zone 12b. Hot tropical climate. No spud seeds here. So I use supermarket potatoes. They are 8 weeks old and this video gives me some hope I might get few potatoes for the bbq! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
I love your channel and I like your videos no dramas clean and to the point you are also very pleasant to watch and inspiring ✌️
i've started watching you ,ark ..you're an inspirational aussie. covid has given me time to'get into it' and learn- at long last. so great to be staying at home! Thanks for your plain speak, wamr vids and info. My onions -inspired by you - bolted . but neighbours are happy with their sweet gifts. unexpected bonus. now room for tommies.
I always use organic store bought potatoes for planting. Great video.
Just watched this for the first time. Beautiful. Such nice potatoes. 👍
Mark, I love your channel! I'm fairly new to it but I'm going to keep a close eye on things here from now on! I've always WANTED to grow potatoes from sprouted ones but I've been put off by warnings about disease. You've successfully quashed my worries about disease from my backyard garden! I have a about a dozen sprouted potatoes and a 1x1 metre bed that I'm going to plant -- half with these sprouted potatoes and half with something else. I'm now going to check your channel to try and find something mad and interesting to put in the other half! Thanks so much!
I really enjoy your videos they have helped me a lot and I have had great results following your instructions. Thank you so much
Ive only ever planted potatoes from my kitchen and they have always given me enough to get excited about
Ive been growing store bought potatoes for years!
I live in the UK and I do this every season. I only have a small back garden but I plant them in tubs. Usually with great results. Love your inspirational videos, excellent. Also looking at some of the stuff you grow in your winters. I'm going to try and get some seed and try to grow in our summer. Thanks Liz 👍👍🙂
I tried planting store bought potatoes and it was a success. Thank you for your video 😉
I can see why you're smiling much, excellent home garden. We love your passion.
That's fantastic Mark! I have a couple small bags of baby potatoes that have sprouted. Thanks for confirming that it's possible to grow a harvest from those. I'm looking forward to trying it out now!
I did this for the first time this year and I harvested them yesterday, they look amazing can't wait to eat them. Will definitely be doing this again with shop bought potatoes that have sprouted.
Thank you for the amazing video!! Love the love, you make me happy.
Fantastic Mark. I live in Tasmania and have not grown potatoes yet. I will now! Love your videos and your humour. You have taught me a lot. Than you HEAPS. Cheers from Ron
I was so excited for ya. I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Thank you! I was really happy (obviously) with that result! Cheers :)
Ha! Who knew!?! Definitely going to try this. Thanks for the valuable info. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
HiiiMark!..your enthusiasm is contagious
Hi Jennifer! LOL cheers :)
You sir are brillaint... you are my 'go-to' person for advise on growing fruit and veges. I have grown most of my plants from store bought produce. Avocados, Calamondin, Spring onions, Onions, Garlic, Sweet potato, Potato, Corriander, loquat, lime, lemon, mango, lemon grass, pineapples, papaya, chilli, capsicum, custard apple etc.. and recently Lychee... and about to try Longan and hopefully get my hands on some rambutan .. I'm in Perth WA.
Thanks mark, i felt like shit today, but seeing what can come out of stuff that looks crap makes feel more positive about tomorrow
Great video, thank you for your post. My father used to use store bought potatoes in his garden and he had good luck with them.
This is great! They look so delicious!
Awesome. I'm trying this using sprouted store bought, planted in the ground and backfilled into bottomless pots when the stems were high enough. Three weeks in and they're growing great so far. Will update when harvested, if it all goes well.
How’d it go?
So glad I watched your potato success Mark will try my luck now x
It’s a potato makeover! 👏🏼👏🏼 I love it
I’ve just planted my first potato that was sprouting in the bottom of our crisper. Not sure if it’s the right season for them here in Cooma but I’m keen to give it a go. Your videos are so informative and inspiring. I love your positive attitude and outlook mate. Thank you and Keep em coming!
Awesome result ❤️
You are so encouraging. Love your enthusiasm and excitement. I will give it a try bc i always end up throwing out those old potatoes that look like they are from mars. I hope i have good results like you.
AWE-YEAH!!! Nice potatoes from the scraps, thanks for sharing!! Take good care of you and yours!
5min into it and I find myself in the garden planting old potatoes. Thanks Legend!
Great....It is really interesting...we are following & learning from your experience...thanks
Greetings from NZ Mark. Just love your videos - you have such enthusiasm and a positive attitude. I've recently planted some feral store bought potatoes in the garden. I heard the same old stories about disease risks etc but thought I'd do it anyway. Free potatoes - why not? They seem to be growing well so can't wait for harvest time. Hopefully I'll get a good crop like yours!
Thank you for such great and informative videos. I’m a new gardener and have learned so much from you!!
Produced 1.4kg of potatoes using the old close dryer tub. Filled up with sticks, compost & some soil from my garden. I purchased potatoes from local nursery, but now I’m going to try replanting older potatoes. Think I’ll need a bigger patch next time. I’ve plenty of yard, so going to put to use some old wood palings. Thank you for your idea 👩🌾
I've been realised I miss your videos so long and never got it in my youtube home, duh then the bell notification isn't rang for me thought I hit it. Now I'm trying to catching up, I will learn much from you as usual Thank you again Mark
I have planted the ends of store bought spring onions and had great success.
