Digging Potato in Wisconsin | Yukon Gold & Russet Potato in Plastic Container 2021 Fall Harvest

[@GutenGardening]

Team Potato is doing great!

[@TheSafecrkr1]

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.

[@Fatimasroots]

I didn’t realize how childish my mind still is until I saw that potato 🥔 gave me the laugh I needed! Thank you for sharing🌿🌸 I can’t wait to grow some this year

[@GutenGardening]

:) Thank you so much for enjoying the video with us. We wish you the best growing your own next season. :)

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

Yes it made us laugh too ,you weren't alone in your childish humour

[@di_kid00]

Saw your comment, but still bursted out laughing when I saw it too.

[@freddieivory625]

Great harvest , thanks for sharing

[@fionas8724]

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!! 😁

Yukon potatoes ankle good potato chips

[@lolitabonita08]

love the flavor of the YG... i did an experiment...I took a very large tote...put compost, pine shavings, plenty of food for the plants and drop all kind of potatoes...minis, YG, and red ones...so i will see how many potatoes i will get and if the experiment will work...they are already starting to sprout out the soil (dec.08.22) and I plant them two weeks ago...then I drop the tinny ones all over the different plant containers and see how that goes as well...

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

Yukons you can use for anything. That’s what I do. Bake, mash, boil, sautee, fry, it all works

[@paulwalker9732]

Most veg can be grown in tubs, overjoyed would be the gardener who finds a way to keep their veg slug and bug free.

[@twilightgardener9366]

Concerning the type of potato harvest I’ve enjoyed the most, the russets probably have it, but I really did like the purple Molly, as well!

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you! Yes, the Magic Molly potatoes were a favorite of ours as well. :D

[@twilightgardener9366]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! 😀

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much!

I think digging potatoes is the best gardening task. It's like Christmas!!!--never know what you'll get, but what excitement! Great harvest!

[@GutenGardening]

So much Christmas happening these days! :D You are so right, it is so much fun to harvest. Sweet potato harvests coming soon. :)

[@suemar63]

@@GutenGardening Yes, but Go Team Potato!!! :D

[@di_kid00]

Love the way you narrate the video! I could glance away and still know what’s going on. (What pros do very well.) Also, awesome potato harvest!! Starting to grow a few varieties myself.

[@jimstormcrow]

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]

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!

[@pearlblackburn1224]

I am new to your Channel. I would have love to see your Video on planting these Potato from the beginning 😍 😀

[@GutenGardening]

Hi Pearl. Welcome and thank you! Here is a video that documents the planting process in containers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqnTaGR-i8p7bq8 and, the harvest results are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqLMnYyeqZt7aM0.

Great harvest of gold!! Love the size of the Russets. Staggered planting…fantastic idea!

[@GutenGardening]

We love harvesting GOLD! :D

[@kidzcraftycreationz1458]

Hi I live in milw Wi I am going to try and plant potatoes with my grand babies could u please tell me what kind of fertilizer to use and where would I get the buckets from?? Thank u!!

[@Danfoodforest]

Amazing harvest of potatoes .. containers were definitely a success... You're doing your Fall Harvest, I'm about to put my seed potatoes in containers over the weekend 😃 Awesome video Have a good evening

[@GutenGardening]

That is so awesome that you are just getting started. What a difference in seasons! We love container potato growing for sure. You did great with yours last season, so we can't wait to see the results with them this year. :)

[@pearlblackburn1224]

Russell Potato 🥔 😋

[@GutenGardening]

So delicious!!!

[@TheSafecrkr1]

How about purple Majesty and by the way are Yukon Gold potatoes determinate or indeterminate?

[@helennorvell9560]

You have just made my day. I have to say, I'm pulling for the potatoes, but I've seen some pretty big sweet potatoes too. I love potatoes of both varieties. Being from the South and living on a farm, (now in WV) I really miss gardening. Thank you so much!

[@GutenGardening]

As someone who is originally from the great state of WV, and who grew up on a farm, I know what you mean. :) I am so glad you enjoyed the harvest. We have sweet potato harvests coming up really soon, so stay tuned. :D

[@CabinGRL]

I grow mine year round here in ground and I’m buckets it’s so fun I just love growing potatoes! 😂

[@CamMcB]

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.

[@faizothman1354]

Hi. How much did you get on average per seed potato in pounds/kg? and What type of fertilizer did you use throughout from soil preparation to during growth stage till maturity? Thanks

[@desertflower9557]

I just planted some russets today. I learned some things from you today, it was never clear to me what were Early potatoes and what were late, I have it now. Thanks.

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much for watching! We are glad you enjoyed, and good luck with your potatoes.

[@ErnieHatmaker]

I don't think I've ever had a Burbank!

[@GutenGardening]

They are very tasty when baked. Lots of good meals coming from this harvest. :)

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

I use all of my varieties for one thing !! TO EAT 😂🤣 !! They can all be baked, fried, roasted, mashed, whipped, and baked ! The size has a lot to do with the process of cooking them. I fry can a lot of mine !

[@bingster-223]

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.

[@HickorycroftFarm]

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.

[@GutenGardening]

We just made some purple and gold and white potato fries this evening. They were outstanding. There is something special about homemade fries. :D

[@sabicat3337]

Hi! I’m going to be growing potato’s for the first time and I’m growing Norkotah russets and masquerade!!! :) I’d love to see y’all try masquerade if you haven’t already

[@GutenGardening]

Fantastic options for potatoes. I had never seen masquerade potatoes before you mentioned them. They look really cool, so we will have to see if we can get our hands on some. Where did you/will you get your seed potatoes this season?

[@childofgod94]

I am new to your channel so I don't know what all you have tried. My favorites are french fingerling, Adirondack blue, Yukon gold, purple majesty, but I'm anxious to try this purple Puruvian fingerling, Adirondack red, magic molly, Russian banana and Austrian crescent fingerings as well as German butterball potatoes.

[@GutenGardening]

Welcome to the channel! We hope you enjoy. Great choices on potatoes. We have grown about half of the ones you mentioned, but a personal favorite has to be the Magic Molly potatoes. They grew so well, and they have an outstanding flavor. Keep up the good work and keep trying new varieties, and we will do the same! :)

[@waynetevlin7202]

How large were the containers you used in this video? And who is the manufacturer of the containers?

[@dson1978]

I would like to know this as well.

[@GutenGardening]

Here is a link to the actual containers: www.globalindustrial.com/p/shipping-container-without-lid-12. Global Industrial makes them, and they are #5 plastic, which is considered food safe. Very fortunately, as you can see from the cost, we didn't have to buy them, but they have made great growing containers.

[@dee2busy]

I'm also in Wisconsin. We grow KENNBECK and sweet potatoes. I would like to try Yukon or baby Reds. I was wondering about the grey totes....where did u get them?

[@GutenGardening]

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. :)

[@happydays1336]

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.

[@pearlblackburn1224]

Wow ❤️ amazingly harvest did you used any fertilizer? How many potatoes did you put in the containers?

[@GutenGardening]

We typically use organic bone meal and a good organic general fertilizer.

[@GutenGardening]

I think we used 5 whole seed potatoes per container in this video.

[@rrobertson4191]

Would you try growing the huckleberry gold potato? They're supposed to have a lower glycemic index and be good for diabetics. 😊

[@bebetoys2556]

What kind of soil did you use? Looks so nutritious.

[@GutenGardening]

It is a really nice, well-draining mix. This soil mix is: coco coir, peat moss, and organic compost. Then we add our organic fertilizers.

[@christinesimmons3313]

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]

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!

[@geekygardens]

If I can get results like that I just need 1-2 of those containers. Any more and I couldn't store them long enough down here.

[@GutenGardening]

At some point we need to figure out a root cellar, but for now, we are trying some alternatives to make sure we can keep them as long as possible, and of course enjoy them as much as we can. :D

[@ReapingTheHarvest]

You can always can them, unless you don't like canned taters of course.

[@geekygardens]

@@ReapingTheHarvest That is true my friend but I already have plenty in jars in the pantry. I tend to use them mainly as fried potatoes for breakfast.

[@lolitabonita08]

those little potatoes at the end of the big potatoes are seeds....

[@purethccheck]

Could Milorganite be used as a ferilizer for container potatoes

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

If you want to do something a bit more challenging, try growing potato from true potato seed.

[@sabrinafoster6470]

Where do you normally purchase your potato seed? They are pretty hard to source

[@GutenGardening]

Hi Sabrina, We got these from a local greenhouse. We also typically keep a few potatoes from our current harvest to use as seed potatoes for next year. You can also buy some organic potatoes from the store and plant them. We have had definite success with that in the past. :)

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
