Digging Potato in Wisconsin | Yukon Gold & Russet Potato in Plastic Container 2021 Fall Harvest | Potato Harvest 2021 | Guten Yardening
For the first time ever we grew this potato haul in food safe plastic containers. In the past, we have only grown potatoes in the ground or in grow bags. But, this time we get to dig potatoes out of these containers, and the results don’t disappoint.
In this video, we have a Yukon Gold potato harvest, and Russet potato harvest (specifically Russet Burbank). This is our first time growing Russet potatoes, so this late season potato variety is an experiment to see how well they will grow for us.
We have had good success with our potatoes in the past, here in zone 5 Wisconsin, and we are excited to show you this harvest.
If you are on team potato, this one should be very exciting. If you are on team sweet potato, your harvests are coming very soon!
Digging my potatoes is so easy when growing them in containers, and we hope you give it a try.
Please enjoy this massive potato haul!
Thanks for watching.

Are Yukon gold potatoes determinant or indeterminate ? What about purple majesty 💜 potatoes ? I'm going to grow them in 5 gallon buckets. I hope it will work in the crazy weather we have here in central Florida.

Instead of rocks by the drain wholes, I place straw. By the end of the season it is decomposed nicely. I also add live worms during planting which helps. My holes dont leak dirt but do let excess water out.

There is something really ASMR about watching a potato harvest. Excellent job. I grew in 10 ltr pots this year as an experiment. Late planting of Charlottes - a first early. Great yield considering how late we planted (just moved to a new place) , but we harvested the last of them this week. 1.5 - 2lbs per pot. I'm looking forward to the Sweet Potato harvest. I'm growing them for the first time this year. (Southern Ireland).

@GutenGardening 2 жыл бұрын

There is, isn't there! That is a great yield, especially considering you had a late planting. :) We are also looking forward to sweet potato harvest time (should be in the next week or so). I would love to hear how your harvest turns out. Thank you so much for watching!

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I love watching the potatoes harvest more than anything! Here is Sydney, we don't have the same type potatoes you do, but I came across Mayan Gold potatoes that have sprouted in the shop. So I bought them really cheap and will plant them and see what we get!! 😁

@happydays1336 Жыл бұрын

Yukon Gold potatoes are determinate so that's why they grow in the top 4" or so. You don't need a deep bin or bed to grow them as a result. You also don't need to hill them up. Russets, on the other hand, are indeterminant and have to be hilled up.

@HickorycroftFarm 2 жыл бұрын

Great harvest. We enjoy the buckets for the "control" you get so to speak. We love the Yukon gold for mashed potatoes, perfect for that and the russet we grow almost entirely for making fries. Potatoes are definitely a weakness here lol.

Two of my favorite varieties to grow are Yukon Gold and Adirondack Blue. So far they are all I'm growing this year. Maybe I'll get some Russerts too I don't know. Adirondack Blue that I've grown in the past have a purple skin and very bright purple meat. I'll be growing in the ground, in containers and in a raised bed. Although I don't really want to dig down in my raised bed. I can always get more containers lol. Nice harvest looked like fun. One of my favorite things is potato harvest time.

1. I didn't know a russet could make a berry. It must be OP, I thought they were hybrids, interesting. 2. That machine looks like a version of the one the Veggie Boys reinvented to work their potato fields. Originally it was some kind of rock picker. It was on one of their recent episodes. 3. I would like to see you grow Purple Viking Potatoes next year. Their beauty is outside and how beautiful depends on how good of seed potato you pick up. If you are really really adventurous you could try to grow the South American tuber OCA.

@GutenGardening 2 жыл бұрын

1) We aren't sure about this. Not all varieties do, but we don't know exactly which ones can or cannot, but we will look into that further. 2) When I recorded that (several months ago) we had not yet seen that video, but since then we have. It is really neat what they have done with theirs. Another one of our community members also commented a link to the specific potato picking machine. It is amazing to watch it work. It looks like it originally would have been drawn by horses. 3) We definitely want to try some different varieties, and I think we can locate some purple viking potatoes (but we will have to see). I have seen OCA before but never tried it, so I don't really know how it tastes, but it looks beautiful. Thank you so much for the comments and suggestions! Have a wonderful weekend!

@GutenGardening 2 жыл бұрын

Excellent choices! The grey totes were given to us by someone who had used them to store papers in the past (so unfortunately I don't have any idea where they originally bought them), but they are sturdy and food safe, so we repurposed them. They work really well. I think the overall size of them is great for root crops, or at least that has been our experience so far. :)

I disagree with your statement that you don't wash your potatoes that soil has microbes in it and so forth you need to hose them off then make sure that they're well dried out before you store them you should not store them with Garden dirt on them that's asking for trouble I've been growing potatoes for over 30 years always wash them but make sure they're good and dry before they put in storage
