Grow huge potatoes by avoiding these common 7 potato growing mistakes. To grow potatoes at home or growing potatoes in your garden or growing potatoes in containers, you must know when to plant potatoes in spring and in fall or autumn. You must choose the right seed potatoes, apply the right fertilizers, make soil slightly acidic, and hill your potatoes. When it is time to harvest potatoes, make sure not to harvest potatoes too early. Wait until half the plant has dies back and then harvest the potatoes. If you avoid these potato growing mistakes, you will grow lots of big potatoes.

I had the misfortune of deciding to become a first time gardener last summer in zone 9b, when there was record-breaking heat. I thought, nobody can mess up potatoes, right? Haha! I was SO disappointed when all 4 grow bags had zero potatoes. Not a single one! The plants looked healthy - I had no idea what I did wrong! I admit, I was discouraged from gardening. After tuning into your channel, I've gotten excited again about growing my own vegetables and I'm going to put my big girl pants on and try again. Thank you!!

@yvonneyeager7929 Жыл бұрын

I had a similar thing happen we hen i first started planting potatoes- i had too much Nitrogen (i added Blood Meal & Feather meal along with my bone meal. Blood Meal & Feather meal are both a lot of Nitrogen plus my miracle grow feed) Sounds like you had too much Nitrogen & it fed your green leaves but you had no potassium & phosphorus to feed your tubers to grow. You should prep your soil with compost & manure, & bone meal & I put just a scant amount of Blood Mea if any at all. Put a nice large serving of bone meal under your potatoes (and mixed into the soil prior) when putting in your trench, grow bag or container, raised bed or whatever they will be using by then. I also put Azomite (micro/macro nutrients) powder in when I plant & a little shake of Miracle Grow Shake n Feed which is long term (over 3 months) Veggie/Plant food- I mix the soil up & then plant my Chittend potatoes. Then water real good.

I can always tell a channel in a coastal area or a mild climate! Meanwhile, here in the middle of the continent, if I followed that temperature advice, I could literally never plant potatoes. I had some frost damage on corn this year on May 1. The average last frost date is in mid-April. I had several days in March when temperatures exceeded the maximum recommended temperature, though, more in April, and most of May every year exceeds those limits. I planted on the last day of February this year, by the way, and used lots of row covers. Because the temperatures are so cold early in the season, they don't get good growth, but even squeezing out every day I can, temperatures will regularly be in the 90's before they're ready for harvest and the plants will be suffering. Yeah, that's not great, but it really can't be helped. Sweet potatoes do much better here, and most of mine went in the ground about two weeks ago.

Number 8) be sure to mound up your spud plants to avoid the spuds coming into direct contact with sun light, if the potatoes do, they will turn green and become toxic.

I'm in the Northern Hemisphere that rarely has a frost date 🤷 but temps did plummet into the low 30''s this year - and night temps are still in upper 30's, but daytime is 65-70° - quite the difference! I'm in Northern California - about 10 miles from the foothills to the Sierras. We've had an unusual cold winter, and already 4 Atmospheric rivers have dumped tons of rain - with the 5th predicted for Sunday through Tuesday night. Then, temps will quickly heat up! Im still going to plant potatoes today - I'll put them on the north side out of the South winds that will hit hard and dry us up🤞

Garden produce is already going up in price in our supermarkets. Other than not knowing if commercial producers are being ecologically responsible, you save carbon by not having to drive to the store, or for their big trucks to drive hundreds of miles to bring you potatoes. No plastic bags, no underpaid workers, and you know they are fresh, not months old. Try a local produce stand if you don't feel like growing your own. Equally conscious minded.
