Sincerely 😅 by just watching these treasure videos , it makes me feel I should plant my ole garden with potatoes 😂 Great harvest!

[@GutenGardening]

Ha! I mean, when it comes time to harvest, there is definitely nothing like the joy of digging for these treasures. :) But, as they say, variety is the spice of life. :D

Awesome harvest

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much! I really loved working on this harvest and then reliving it while editing the video!

[@sabbyjones2308]

Love Love Love this harvest video 🥰 also you have the greatest laugh

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much! There are so many moments of happiness and even one of shock in this video (that I definitely had to turn way down in editing!) I had to laugh that one off. :D Thank you so much for the compliments Sabby!

Paul, fantastic harvest, I’ve always had a hard time growing a decent russet potato. Last year I tried Russet Burbank, a couple of years ago it was the Butte they are always small and not that many. I think I’ll just keep growing Sarpo Mira for baking potato. Red Norland and Yukon Gold are always my biggest producers. Happy Gardening 🧑‍🌾 from Southern California.

Good job with this year's Potato crop, Paul! Both Baltic Rose and Elba are very rugged varieties and stand up to late season pressures like Early Blight and Potato Leafhoppers. Yes, Rose Finn Apple can knob-up, especially in years with uneven soil moisture. Our research indicates RFA has been grown since at least the 1840s, so we're forgiving considering it's a two-century-heirloom variety. Jim

Thank you, Jim! We have been really impressed with both Baltic Rose and Elba. We haven't eaten the Elba yet, but I am excited for that, and we are definitely always looking for varieties that are blight resistant, as that can be a problem in our area. I think the Rose Finn Apple felt some of the effects of our absence this season, but they still performed well, and to be honest, they are delicious, and so shape doesn't matter since we don't peel them. I had no idea about the length of time those have been grown. 200 years is outstanding! Thank you so much for watching!

That's a massive harvest. I have some potatoes just starting to break through the ground. I'm in zone 7A so I still have time.

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much! Yes, you definitely still have some time, and I imagine you will get some great fall potatoes! Which variety?

[@Maria-ql3fc]

You would never pull off leaving the potatoes in the soil that long in the deep south. I grew Sarpo Mira's last yr and the heat and humidity really got the plants before the potatoes could get large. The flavor is okay, but I didn't find it to be outstanding . The Baltic Rose will be one of my go to's this coming Feb when it's time to plant potatoes here.

[@GutenGardening]

The Baltic Rose have been crazy good for us. I will say, I think you will love them (if this is your first time). Our Sarpo's last season were about half as big as this year. I made mashed potatoes with them last week, and they were like nothing I had ever had before.

[@debbiehaney2467]

What a satisfying harvest, even vicariously! Can I plant a second crop of potatoes in the same spot after harvesting the first round or would I need to use a new location?

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much! We planted our fall potatoes in the same spot as our garlic and potatoes from the spring. The recommendation is to move to avoid disease, but I think you will be okay if you fertilize and plant in the same spot. We have done that with our keyhole bed as well for several years now.

[@faithevrlasting]

I have never seen a home garden grow so many potatoes. It would kill this diabetic couple if I did that, because I love them. How many do u feed and could you speak more about how each variety stores and how u do that with so many? We have given up on potatoes because they always rot before we can get to them.

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much for watching, and yes, the diabetic aspect I suspect is the toughest part for many when it comes to potatoes. We feed 5, and we do save some for seed potatoes the following season. Some varieties, like the Sarpo Mira are amazing for storage, and others, like the magic molly and fingerlings need to be eaten more quickly. I will try to do a video this fall that focuses on these questions, so I can be more in depth than this response.

[@lavirgo4634]

Do you sell any magic Molly’s or your type of fingerlings to use as seed? I cannot find magic Molly anywhere!!!

[@GutenGardening]

We have not sold them before, but you are welcome to email us at [e-mail] to talk further about it. :) Thank you so much for watching!

[@lavirgo4634]

I did! Thank you!!😊

I'm from Argentina and here we don't know wich potatoes eat, always brown, last summer i discovered they are two diferent potatoes when the flower of one was pink and.the other white...still i don't know wich varietés are these

[@GutenGardening]

It is pretty cool to see the different colors of flowers on the potatoes. I like when the flowers are more purple. But, most of the varieties that we grew this year had white flowers. I will say, there are so many potato varieties to enjoy. Thank you so much for watching!
