What POTATOES Will We Continue to PLANT?

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Looks like Miss Wanda is going to be busy in the canning room.

[@ss4jarmon]

Been a cool and wet spring. I always start my 1st crop of potatoes in last of January. I wait a month and plant 2nd crop in March. Due to cool weather it's first year for 3rd planting in mid April. I've pulled 1st and 2nd crop already and gave away several 5gal buckets of potatoes to neighbors and elderly family.

Found that you can lay them on clay soil and cover them with compost and they do good

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

Hello from TN! Here it is 5:40 in the morning and you have my mouth Watering for taters! I think that I could eat a plate of just potatoes, fixed in different ways! I've been a tater baby ever since I can remember. I used to eat them raw! You were blessed this year! We have clay soil here. Over the years we've worked to improve our soil. When the road department cleared trees from the sides of the road near our house, we had them bring the "chipped" up limbs and such to our place. We have a special place to put them. We let them break down for years. Then add that to the gardens. We compost leaves too. We live on a dirt road so it's not bad. It takes work to get the soil good. We cover crop in the spring and fall. We grow pretty good potatoes on our place. I like the looks of those fingerling potatoes. We may have to try them. We enjoy your videos and appreciate your gardening wisdom. I had not noticed the little white nubs on the potatoes. If I see them now, I'll know what they signify! Those sorts of tidbits of wisdom are what keeps me listening to your channel! I believe that it's important to keep learning! I've probably been in the garden since I was born! Our Mother always had use working in the garden. I'll be 70 soon, but I learned something today! Thank you and GOD bless

[@leannekenyoung]

I remember eating potatoes raw as well, we would hold the potato in one hand and would hold the salt shaker in the other. I remember doing it until someone told me I could get worms in my stomach so I stopped. Lol! I can’t believe how hard and cement like the soil was in between the rows! I never remember ever seeing soil like that before. No wonder they could never grow anything in that solid clay soil. 🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦

[@PurePondering]

Listening to this while I'm working. It's bringing up memories of Pawpaw in his TuffNut overalls, him plowing up the potato patch with the mules, and all of us kids picking up potatoes - enough for us, the preacher's family, and the family of the "widder woman" down the road.

I took my french fingerlings from last year's harvest that started growing and planted them in our greenhouse this winter. I've been harvesting them for last couple of days. They're huge and so beautiful. No blemishes at all. I think that's going to be one of my go to ways to plant them.

I have potato(and apple)scab in my soils. I could treat the soil but I try to do organic. I only plant potatoes in 4 and 5 gallon buckets and my grandkiddos love ❤ love bucket dumping day lol. Its like finding buried treasures for them. Last year we had one bucket that had one small plant. I figured we might get maybe one or 2 potatoes if lucky That bucket had 4 potatoes but one of them weighed in at 2 pounds! It almost filled the bucket! Lol. The other three were ping pong ball sized. Just an old red potato that sprout from the store so no idea the name. I love the little potatoes tho I bought a bag of red/yellow mini potato a few years back that sprouted. We've been growing them from that bag ever since.

Good Morning! What an awesome harvest! Thank you for sharing. About the True Potato Seed......Do NOT eat. Break open, it will have small seeds inside that look like tomato seeds. Clean them and if you want to plant, soak them in water for a few days before planting. They will take longer to grow of course.

Potato seeds are in each green pod, let them dry extract the seeds from inside and plant the seeds, you won't know what kind of potatoes you will get, it's always a surprise

[@leannekenyoung]

Wow that so strange I’ve never ever heard of potatoes growing seeds like that before! I know it definitely makes sense but I always thought you planted leftover potatoes that were left from the previous year that grew eyes in them and you cut them so there are at least two eyes on each piece and plant it and they would grow potatoes. It makes sense though that potatoes had seeds at one point in time but I had no clue about them! Just goes to show you can learn something new everyday no matter how old you are! Congratulations on an incredible harvest, Danny for your age you amaze me at how flexible you are and how you can bend down like that or sit on your knees on that hard dirt!! My body would be screaming for mercy! Just another example how gardening can be good for your health if you do it all your life eh? Seeing the potatoes spread out on the floor like that really put into perspective just how many potatoes you actually harvested!! It’s unreal seeing them and that really you grew enough for the two of you to eat off of them for the next year. When we buy 10lb bags although I think now they are only 5lb bags and we pay the same as we did for double the amount, we don’t realize just how many potatoes a couple would eat in one year. But I’m Sure that will likely just be enough for the two of you for the upcoming year. 🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦

I have planted three kinds of potatoes in containers, raised beds and husband piled compost in four rows in the woods. Some of the plants are 27" tall. It is a test to see if they will make anything. Fertilized with 12 12 12 once, Red Norland potatoes. Sweet potatoes are planted in a raised bed.

[@DustySplinters]

Those are True Potato Seed Pods. Just set them aside to ripen... then save the seeds. I let mine ripen last year, the saved the seeds. Planted thin indoors early and then set the starts out. It will take 2-3 seasons to get seed potatoes from TPS. But... If you have different varieties you like growing side by side you could cross pollinate and come up with a new variety of your own. It would be an excellent experiment for in the high tunnel.

You have a much bigger operation than I do, but I've moved over to growing potatoes in large buckets. It gives me much more control and the harvest is as easy as dumping the bucket into a wheel barrow. I grow more than enough potatoes for our needs now. Also, for storage, do you dehydrate? I'm loving dehydrating as a storage solution more and more. I also freeze some.

[@barrypetejr5655]

Absolutely awesome potatoe harvest. Where I live is a mix of sandy loam and clay. In a season on new or tired ground I can get 2 buckwheat crops in and then winter rye......adds nitrogen and really helps keep the soil loose. I also have a fairly large supply of leaves every fall. Having a tiller like yours makes chopping the leaves and green manures in a breeze. Both of the green manures I use is really cheap to purchase the seeds. When I plant potatoes I bed underneath and on top with leaves then cover with dirt. Helps retain moisture and keeps the dirt loose around them. I plant red norlands because they mature so quickly for summer use. Red Pontiac and green mountain are some favorite's for fall crops.

We get those pods on our plants, the seeds inside are called true potato seeds. Your more likely to get them in areas with cooler temps. I read that you can save the seeds inside and plant them but "they don't produce as well as growing from seed potatoes and they will have different characteristics than the parent plant." FYI- the pod is not edible, it contains toxic solanine. It says if you do try to grow from the seed it's best to use heirloom varieties, hybrids don't produce good quality taters. 😁💝
