Growing food is not about saving money. It’s about developing a skill and achieving success, and learning from failures. If you happen to save money, then it’s a bonus. ❤🎉😊

Today is June 11th 2024 and believe it or not but we are still getting Morning Frosts here in Scotland. (So much for global warming) I hope my lovely Red Pipers wont be affected too much.

Great harvest! I totally understand the fun and excitement of a potato reveal. My daughter used to say it was like looking for Easter eggs.

She 's a good chef and great sister , she care for everyone in her family , Hao's friends are lucky to try her food the first time :)

Very nice harvest! I love using the grow bags, surprised to see rodent damage on your spuds. I have purchased flower seeds based on what I've seen in your videos this year. You are part of my flower garden! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love for beautiful and interesting living things. Enjoy your mash and fries!

Hey, your potatoes did really nicely. I would be very pleased with that harvest. I'm eating my home garden spuds now too. My garden gives me just about all the vegetables I ever use. About the only vegetable I ever buy from the store are onions as I don't grow Spanish onions. My garden is right outside my cabin door so I don't have to drive to get there which means a lot. I've always been really happy I can grow so much of my own food. Dahlias are blooming great right now too. Enjoy your spuds. Cheers!

Χαιρετισμούς από Ελλάδα!! Είσαι χαμογελαστή και όμορφη όπως και οι πατάτες σου ωραίες! Καλή όρεξη!!

You are an amazing person 🥰 Such an huge production 🤗

Very nice harvest of potatoes, not bad for going through a drought earlier in the year...Steve...🙂

Nice harvest. Mine was not so good this year. Too hot here in Alabama. Love all your videos. Always informative and encouraging and somehow, relaxing, like a visit with a friend in the garden. Thank you for the hard work and effort you put into producing your videos and sharing your garden and time with us. Happy autumn and happy gardening.

Incredible harvest! Love your videos, educating, entertaining and aesthetic to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Captivated by you dumping out potato pots. So satisfying haha.

Great harvest!

Thank you for posting!

what a cracking harvest katrina

Lovely!

Loving your work 👏👍

Wonderful harvest Katrina 😃 and so rewarding 💕

Thanks for video and lovely trousers 😊

Nice job! 🥔🥔🥔

Hi from Australia. Fantastic result again. Thanks for being such an inspiration. You had the sort of summer we would usually deal with in SA - probably on the mild side for us. Things I usually have to manage when growing potatoes in tubs are greening of potatoes from sunlight and heat but most importantly irrigation. When it’s hot and dry it’s tricky to keep the top of the pot moist without having sludge in the bottom. If I got ants in a pot here I might consider a flame thrower. They are nasty buggers on this side of the planet. I planted my first seed taters for this spring a fortnight ago (Charlotte) and the second this weekend (Sebago) - keeps the progression happening. King Edwards next. They go well for me. My favourite variety is Kipfler - similar in shape to Fir Apple. They are ‘waxy’ and make the best potato salad ever. The worst homegrown potato knocks a supermarket potato out of the park.

Good harvest!

Nice potato harvest, and another great vlog!

Those potatoes look awesome.

I love potato reveals!! Like a kid on Christmas morning! Gardening is a joy in general; thanks for sharing yours!

Well done M"duck they look lovely. Great job.

I grew potatoes from some shrivelled old ones in the fridge after watching an earlier video here and got a really good haul, so thanks for the inspiration.

I planted some that i got from the supermarket, and they are now growing succesfullly

100% very best

im a big fan of potato reveals

Wow this is amazing

I always enjoy watching your movies or film.

Smashing.👍

Absolutely gorgeous! And the garden is looking great too! 😅 love and best wishes from Wilts.

Your vegetable patch has such welcome discoveries. Thankyou for sharing your experiences

Another good vid. Thanks

I'm Irish but we still love ya..

i'm all for the potato reveals, I find them really exciting! Inspired by you growing potatoes in pots I tried it myself for the first time this year and grew some second earlies called Collen (I think you may have grown them in the past too). They turned out great! Was very pleased with growing my own potatoes and will definitely do it again next year but grow more, and maybe a few varieties or an early and a main crop. Your pink ruff ones look very interesting, will be intrigued to hear how they taste

Great job

Wonderful harvest !!!!! I'm waiting for my sweet potatos . Sooooon I hope . Thank You for sharing and have a fantastic day

This was fun to watch. Love your excitement and knowledge you share. Thank you.

your potatoes are brilliant

nice harvest..watching from phillippines

So lovely to see! This year was the first year I tried it, I only have a balcony so in a pot of +/- 30 liter. It was not a lot but a few big ones so pretty exciting for the first time!

Very well done.

I did put some.pots with potato's....fter I watched at least 15-20 videos.. I hope I will have some potato's.

I keep used peat compost in dustbins. My potatoes are grown in 20l buckets and I use the same compost every time with added nutrients. The great thing about buckets is that they can easily be moved. The first frost was last weekend here in Wales and the potatoes had a sleep over in my lounge as they are frost tender. The potatoes I'm growing now are second mains for harvest around December. The first mains were harvested at the end of August as they were ready. Average of 2.5kg per bucket.

I just bought some organic ones from the grocers. The greenery is dead. So you've inspired/reminded me to harvest mine. I could wait since my first frost isn't until mid October. As always thank you for sharing your lovely garden.

Your videos are so awesome, so informative... thank you

Great harvest considering the drought & heat you have had in the UK.

You're beautiful 🥰 and the harvest from containers is astonishing 🤗

I mainly grow Charlotte's now, I did some first early Swift this year as well, but with Charlottes you can harvest early as well, miss the blight, they store well, I'm still eating mine now, they're really reliable and they taste great. I mainly grow mine in the ground plus a handful of tubs. All the best, John, Hampshire, UK

Nice harvest. Happy equinox and potato roasting!

Love the total harvest! 😍 I wanna try grow Pink Fur Apple again 😂

Lovely harvest! I’m still working on growing potatoes successfully 🙃

I've just took on an allotment in Leicester, and after watching one of your older videos I had to order some Cara organic seed potatoes. 👍

You have got to be the most beautiful allotment owner I’ve ever seen

Our harvest was also good out if tubs and bags. Maybe I'll try to pink fur ones next year. Thank you for your videos and hope the wedding plans are going well x

Hello!!!! ..... congratulations.......and also garden is looking so good Sunflowers ....I love your trousers.

I love potato reveals! You have inspired me to try fingerlings next year.

love the dungarees 😊😊 and whats not to like in a potatoes reveal.. spring here in NZ so I just planted my summer early (variety is called Heather which has a pink/purple skin)

Hi its Tina my favorites are also Charlotte's I grow 2 in a 35lt pot and grow loads when the foliage dies back I store the buckets in my emptied greenhouse I stack them 3 high then cover the top buckets in fleece then just harvest the buckets as I need them I don't water I let the compost dry I have kept them right through to April with no problems love the vlog

hi Katrina merry Christmas and new year to you both hope you both have a great Christmas and new year I'll look forward to seeing your next video until then take care of yourself and stay safe

I will be doing the same thing down here in Texas.

Our pink fir apples also surprised us this year. We grew them using the Ruth Stout method but using leaves and hay instead of straw. Our kestrel also did well but we had a lot of green potatoes. Note to self more mulch next year!

Love that harvest! The have done well for you. I have found the Dalefoot peat free compost is very good with water retention. Although I have been a bit caught out this year as I used their tomato compost and did overwater a bit at first as I was a bit paranoid in the heat. Have learned my lesson. I have been growing charlottes as my autumn potatoes for Christmas but because it has been still so warm, the ones planted at the end of July I think I will have to harvest some now! Hope you have enjoyed your Pink Fir Apples, they looked fab.

Great crop this year, next year I’m trying sweet potatoes also x

Very nice 👌 👍 👏 😀

I had grown mine in a bag without the results. Will start to us your technique. Well done!

Brilliant stuff. We ended up with over 100 pounds of potatoes

Thank you some really helpful advise -going to pots and peat free this season

Pink Fir are a favourite, waxy and ideal for potato salad

The video I'm new at growing potatoes and it has really helped both of them how to and this one

A better comparison than the price of potatoes in the store is the price of any other hobby that promotes an active, outdoor lifestyle. Gardening doesn't have to be expensive and you get potatoes out of the deal to boot!

I wish I would have recognised what is going on in this world and that my soul path was at the farmhouse where my relatives live in Germany! Together with my brother, I should have been there years ago!

Great harvest i just popped in some that had chitted from the supermarket and harvested them the other day and was surprisd how many i got and how good they tastedxx

Hi it's Jon and I love gardening I have my own greenhouses and I grow lots of things

Love YOU Dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White reflects sun ' say no more ' Store potatoes in a sack, in a dry dark place at least 3ft off the floor especially if stored in a shed outside .. The sack will be made of a material that absorbs water and is sealed . Before they go in the sack leave loose for a couple of days off the floor away from direct sunlight . ants in the garden is the worst pests of all ! Their no 1 predator the mole will not only tunnel your garden but will bring with it a wide range of unwanted guests ! Grreat vlog thankyou 🙏

Great inspiring video. Our favourite Potato is Marfona, they are healthy and very tasty. From a 30-litre plastic bucket. 2 seed potatoes per bucket. Bought compost from Garden Centre. We average 9 pounds weight per bucket. Just add Chicken manure pellets and Fish, blood and bone. Greetings from N/W England

Well done with your harvest. There’s no better potato than home grown. I think shop bought spuds are expensive and lacking in flavour. I grow ALOT of potatoes every year and this year I only watered them when I planted them and I was amazed. We only used stored water that we collected over winter so needed that for the greens, roots, onions and some new trees. I mulched the spuds with grass clippings and kept my fingers crossed. I had a little scab but a high yield on pink fir Apple (which I love) and Kestrel. 😅 it was a good, good lesson and saved me so much time not watering. Looking forward to your next garden tour.. x

Hello. May 2nd from FL. Your video inspired me to run out to my small back garden and dig the top layer of a small container potato plant and I saw one near the surface. I struggled with it because I did not want to disturb the plant. A double potato finally came out. This is the third time since planting March 1st that the same plant has given me a bunch of small potatoes. I have 30 other plants to let mature in the proper way. I sometimes dig down and get sweet potatoes that way as well. Thanks.

I grew potatoes in grow bags for the first time and so far my harvest has been so so. But honestly I think I didn’t use the right soil mixture and so they dried out too much. So fun to watch. Thanks

good harvest well done. I tried Lady Balfour main crop ths year. Good sized potato which roasts, boils and mashes very well. Nice creamy taste

Most interesting, and informative. Thank you. I see you've become engaged since part 1. Congratulations.

Nice harvest. Here is central Alabama, USA (which is much further south than where you are), I typically plant potatoes in February and harvest them in June. Usually by the end of June, the soil has gotten too warm for the plants to continue living. So that is when I harvest my potatoes.

we plant potatoes in the ground. but I will try it in buckets, I liked it🙂👍

You've got me interested in the pink fur potatoes now, never heard of them before😃 I'm growing mostly Desiree potatoes as they are doing ok, ever since I've read that red skinned potatoes are healthier, I've kept to them. I've tried Setanta (?) last year but they don't like it too dry. The Desiree potatoes did pretty well considering the weather but with room for improvement.

Quite the harvest of potatoes. We had some in grow bags and also in the ground probably ended up with about 10 kilos as you say not cost effective but taste way better than store bought.

Nice

looking great, well done. I love Kipfler - but storing them here in South Australia is tough due to the heat

What a beautiful garden and Katrina you are so charming🥰 Nice harvest by the way! Speaking for myself, didn't grow potatoes this year - almost the entire garden was filled with tomatoes instead. now i plan to sow overwintering veggies for the next spring. Are you doing something similar? Perhaps in the poly-tunnel. So far did some leafy valerian sowing (leafy variety for salads, not herbs) and planning to sow spring onion and garlic from sets and hopefully some more greens undercover in a poly tunnel. Keep up, I love your channel! Each video is an amazing relaxation and helps getting close with nature.

They look like nice potatoes they look well

Interesting to watch your results, may be the fingerling potatoes seem to have done the best this year with the hot weather. I've grown Ratte which have been quite successful.

Hi I'm new to your channel and I love your videos

I think that was rather good. I had more a mix. Some amazing, others ahhhhh

I grew mine in 29 pots about the same size as yours and I harvested 106 LBS> I had some scab on some but overall a good crop. I plant in March and harvest in June. Thin I add compost and seed in Okra. Thanks for sharing.

Those ants were thinking their poor queen laid those massive ant eggs 😂😂

Notification squad :)

It's not the cost Homegrown Tastes so much better
