@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk hi Ivan,have you ever watched Paul gautchi back to Eden garden videos on RUclips,he to is a wonderful source of knowledge...he has an apple orchard and fruits and vegetables and he has never watered or fertilized he apple trees in year's...just sharing something wonderful,you should just check him out once you will be amazed.👍
My potatoes have just flowered so now I will top up the bags and hopefully all is good... thanks so much for your advice - first time veg grower here 😀
Didn't realise that the cherry tomato type fruits on potatoes were poisonous, thank you for sharing that advice. Soon as I see any flowers I'll snip them off in case the kids see them. 👀 I must say that your videos are educational and I learn something new each time I watch. Thanks again!
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am just also a gardener and RUclips creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday it brings me so much joy! I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.
This is the first year growing spuds in my garden, and its going pretty well,,Iv managed to plant 5 small beds, and 11 small containers, iv only harvested one bed, and your explaining to leave them in the ground to toughen for storage was an absolute gem to me, so simple, thankyou 💎👍
i had one tomato looking thing that holds potato seeds on my Desiree's that i harvested today , and i hear that they do take up to 2 years to grow a spud , but i am going to sow them and in 2 years time i will pull them out let them sprout then re pot them as seed potatoes :)
Thank you Sylvia Yes you can plant potatoes in July but they will have to be new potatoes & they are called Xmas potatoes i have a video coming up about that soon
Yes you can do that if you have small children or animals as you wont have to worry about the poisonous fruits growing later Just take care not to damage the stem if you do this Thank you Michael

Hi Ivan. So now I am confused... again!! I bought my seed potatoes at Wilco, and it listed all three, so am I right assuming that those seed potatoes could be used for all three type of crops. Cos that's what I did!!!!! Or am I wrong... again!! Many thanks
It should say on the packet 1st early plant April harvest june 2nd early plant May Harvest July Main crop Plant May Harvest August to October if you planted all 3 types at the same time it wont matter you will know they are ready when the flowers drop or plant starts to die back
@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk Hi Ivan. No, the instruction was that the same seed potatoes were 1st early, 2nd early and maincrop. They had several varieties and some were specifically 2nd early, but these were definitely listed as all 3. That's why, on an earlier video, I asked when to add more compost to the pot because the shoots were starting to come through, or whether to wait till they were higher. As you say, time will reveal all.
So many tips and information in just one video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Yhank you so much Marica

Good information again Ivan, what’s your take on removing the flowers so the plant can put more energy in the potatoes. Take care, Michael

Just take care not to damage the stem if you do this
