Turns out I guess they're probably nearing their end. It'll be my first potato harvest (in a big 20-gal grow bag!) and I'm super excited to see how they did!

My dad way a potato growing nut case! I used to not like it as I had plans with my friends.. what's with all this garden work! Anyway, he would have me till in chicken manure before planting, and he would dig a ditch and plant the potatoes in, then as it grew, he would bury the plant as it grew. he would have a mound of potatoes at the end of the summer. Here is where the work comes in.. his poor overworked son would then have to dig them up :-) Nothing is better than home-grown potatoes!

PLEASE READ THIS! I always wait until the plants turn yellow and start dying off. I planted about 100 lbs of seed potatoes and just did a test dig yesterday. They are ready for harvesting. I grew Yukon Gold and Kennebec that both keep well. Last year I discovered an amazing new way to preserve potatoes for a full year. This method works perfectly here in Southern Indiana. Last October I took my cured dried potatoes, about 70 lbs, and buried them under about 4 ft off hardwood mulch. In April I dug up a few and they were in perfect condition. Again in May still in great shape and growing new potatoes. In June I removed all but maybe 10 lbs from the original 70 lbs and they were still in excellent condition. They were also growing new potatoes. I also harvested some of the smaller new potatoes. Today I removed the remaining stored potatoes and realized that this is an unbelievable way to keep potatoes. A full year from harvesting and I still have potatoes that are edible and produced new potatoes. Surprisingly I found only a few rotting potatoes after storing them for 10 months under 4 feet of wood mulch. They never froze and were cool and moist every time I removed them gently from the stored mulch pile. We're having another great potato harvest this year, and estimating about 380 lbs. NOTE: WE DRY AND CURE OUR POTATOES FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS IN OUR COOL BASEMENT. This was another great video and informative. If its dry you can leave your potatoes in the ground after the die off. If the soil gets saturated and wet, they will rot😅

I feed nitrogen heavy three to four weeks before planting with lots of alfalfa cubes from the local feed store. I till em in twice then plant. Thirty days in when the plants are 16 inches or so I add fortify the plants with p and k heavy fertilizer. I grow four varieties, round white, Kenebec, Norland, and Yukon Golds. Some of the yellow spuds produced over twenty potatoes most over eight ounces. There's absolutely nothing like the flavor of a freshly harvested potato. 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

I've read that potatoes should not be planted in the same patch I successive years so to avoid diseases. Also not to follow tomatoes next season with potatoes, again to avoid diseases. Not knowing this last spring, I committed a 4' X 8' raised bed for a potato crop. I've harvested them now and am pleased with my success. My questions are, what can I plant next spring without making the risk of potato disease worse? How many seasons should elapse before the risk of disease is minimal again?

Thank you so much for this video. My potatoes aren’t flowering but starting to yellow, I was totally worried I had done something wrong. My question is, I’m planting in pots and some plants in the pot are dying but some are still growing green, should I dig down on the sides of the container where the plants pretty much dead or wait until all plants in pot are dying off?

No worries. They all don't die back at the same time. I am usually harvesting mine over a two week period.

I have the same problem. Some in the bucket are brown and some are green. Should I dump the whole bucket now or wait for all brown?

How & in what, are you storing your potatoes?
@CountryLivingExperience 11 ай бұрын
I store them in a cool dark room in my house wrapped in newspaper.

I left my potatoes in the pantry too long and they started to root so I potted them. They've been growing for about a month, but my stalks only stood straight up for about 2 weeks. They are still flush and green. But they hang out over the pot instead of straight up. Is this normal. I know potatoes are growing because I brushed a little dirt back and found a baby potatoe growing so I covered it back up.

It is probably because the soil is too loose and shallow. They should be fine though. Let them grow and see what happens.

So I planted potatoes for the first time this year. I'm curious when am I supposed to put a mound on them. Right now they seem to be fine. But everyone does a mound.
@CountryLivingExperience Жыл бұрын
Yes, you mound them. Once they start to produce leaves, mound dirt up until there are just a few small leaves sticking out at the top. Repeat this again when the plant grows taller.

I was told there are determinate and indeterminate varieties of potatoes. Is this true and if so what should we do differently for each variety?
@CountryLivingExperience Жыл бұрын
@@cheriweber4 Yes, that is correct. It does not have much to do with the tubers themselves but when when they are harvested. Determinate are early to mid season. Indeterminate are late season. You will have to check per your specific variety.

Can you help me figure out what I did wrong? I planted 10 seed potatoes. They flowered and started to turn yellow and fall over. I dug up 3 plants. 2 were rotten, but all only had one potato…..😢

The only time I had failure was due to over watering. Water rots potatoes.

My YUKON Golds flower in Memphis, TN (the south with extremely hot weather and humidity). Thanks for the info mate.

You're welcome. Strange I am in East Texas. No flowers from my Yukon Gold.

Fun fact. Red potatoes are sprayed with glyphosate (roundup) to make them appear more red. Customers demand pretty potatoes that have chemicals that end up in our cells.

Ur sooo right, last year I planted potatoes and never saw flowers but get a nice harvest (2 doz small/med size) this year they had flowers, harvested about 2dozen potatoes on the small size, I planted a second crop (I grow veggies in pots) two months ago and the plants are behaving erratically weird, had a lot of rainy weather and now the temperature is reaching the 100's, the plants although green are leaning and some branches have brown in them, I'm so confused, harvest or not? Pulled on branch out and there was nothing, what's happening, can you figure it out?

I never have the opportunity to plant 2 plantings. Maybe the heat is messing with them. Mine always do well in the cooler weather.

@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks, I'm in Florida and experimenting for more crops as my pots and space are limited. My first crop went on early fall and the second early spring I'm trying a third on potatoes and they're not doing too good bcze of the intense heat and the heavy rains alternating. Tomatoes (cherry and Roma) has done exceptionally well and when I thought they were done I trimmed them and viola they're coming back! My green bells and sweet peppers are starting to flower and got the beginning of fruit, my pineapple is almost ready to harvest in one two months and got the blessings of three more pups in the making! Planted another round of green onions and they're coming along, my carrots not doing well with the heat and my strawberry plants are getting scorched!!! So I'll keep on trying until I get it right! Plant and learn! Most of my plants are from kitchen scraps but the strawberry and carrots! This is my second season and I'll never stop, I'm hooked! My harvests might be small but the taste and quality is outstanding, when you can harvest and eat it right on....wow... nothing can beat that feeling or experience! Keep prepping and don't let anything stop you! 😄😘👍
