Can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your harvest! Thank you for not speeding up the camera. Since I am unable to garden, it gives me so much joy to be in the garden with you.

[@bluewolf4915]

Great harvest. My Kennebec did great this year. Sarpo Miro got attacked by worms so they were a fail.

[@GutenGardening]

Oof to the worms! That is so frustrating! Glad to hear that about your Kennebec, though. Lovely potatoes!

😮 🤩🤩

[@GutenGardening]

Right?!?!?!

[@Jim_at_WoodPrairie]

Hi Paul, good job growing those spuds! Glad our Wood Prairie seed is doing well for you. The easy way to differentiate between a Sarpo Mira tuber and a Baltic Rose tuber is to cut it open. The golden flesh of the Baltic Rose is incredibly bright yellow, about the yellow of an egg yoke. Jim

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much Jim! Yes, the inside of the Baltic Rose are stunning, and when we do our taste test video a little later this season, we will show that color off! These seed potatoes have been phenomenal so far!

I'm in central Wisconsin. I started potatoes indoors with no lights on 3/31/2024. every 10 days I grew 4 more buckets. By the beginning of May the potatoes were ready to live outside. When I brought them outside, I planted more potatoes in containers outside. I would harvest potatoes continuously throughout the beginning of summer till the end of fall. I planted again when I harvested garlic in mid-July. My last planting was the first week of August and these plants are big now.

Phenomenal harvest! Your soil makes me jealous lol 😊❤ Edit: After such a massive harvest, how will you amend the soil for next season?

[@gardentalkjamerican871]

Wow, wow!! I enjoyed your harvest as much as you did! And that soil looks so good!! Did you also get the Sarpo Mira from Wood Prairie. Expensive or not, I've got to try these next year, God willing. I'm in Georgia. Congratulations on your super excellent potato harvest!!!

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you so much! Yes, both seed potato varieties came from Wood Prairie, and we have been so pleased with this year’s harvests, with more to come :). Thank you for watching!

[@twilightgardener9366]

This was such an exciting potato harvest to watch! The excitement is contagious.... I've grown neither of these varieties, but I must!

[@GutenGardening]

We really do think these are a must in terms of varieties. They are so plentiful and delicious!

[@leendaroberto]

WOW 70 lbs of potatoes 👏 Loved your potato harvest video and I am looking forward to the taste test video. Thank you!

[@murlthomas2243]

I’m impressed with Sarpo Mira. I’m eager for next spring’s garden.

[@melodyh.781]

Team Potato is on fire this year! 🔥 Congrats on such a wonderful harvest.

[@GutenGardening]

And team vole has kept their mouths shut! :D Such a change from last season, so we are really happy with that. :D Go #TeamPotato!!

[@rhinowishes888]

I love watching you potato harvests ❤

[@dann1232]

Great potato harvest

[@Gotchapic]

Enjoyed your enthusiasm!!!! I was rooting for you!! Watched to the end!!

[@debbiehaney2467]

I loved watching you harvest these potatoes and got excited for you as you dug down to find more and more. Amazing harvest!! I found Wood Prairie Family Farm through your channel and I’m growing my first potatoes right now. Mine are Norland Red and if I get half the harvest you did, I’ll be thrilled.

[@GutenGardening]

Our Norlands (which you haven't seen yet because we haven't show that video yet) were also nice and productive, so I think you will do well!!!! Thank you so much and the best of luck!!!

My potato harvest this year was a bit disappointing. I grew all the short season from Wood Prairie. I had NO IDEA Racoons liked potatoes so much! They got most of the first planting, maddening because they take a few bites out, toss it aside, and go for the next one. For the bumper harvest, we were prepared. WE got the potatoes. Can't wait to try the Baltic Rose and Sarpo Mira next year. Until I found this site I would buy potatoes locally, but usually have extremely poor selection. This was my first year growing with Wood Prairie and I will never buy local again, even though I try to with most things. If you have been thinking about ordering from Wood Prairie but haven't taken the plunge, you have got to try them!

[@SgtSnausages]

OMG the productivity on these two! (And they don't taste bad, either). These guys yielded more than double the weight, per plant (2.3x (Sarpo) 2.5x (Balltic)) of the best of the traditional varieties we've grown for decades. I bought 2.5 pounds each last year (they were pricey) and grew them out for seed tubers for this year and they went NUTS this year. From 5 pounds (2.5 each) to over 500 pounds in a little over a year. Initial planting July last year to current harvest this week Oct this year) ALSO: the initial planting last year threw off a ton of fruit that I harvested for seed (TPS (True Potato Seed)) that I'll be planting/trialing/selecting over the next 2 or 3 years. *** I also did the Hucklebery Gold - which is the best tasting potato I believe Ive ever grown. Sadly, the poor yield statistics means this guy doesn't make The Final Cut. Barely 65 pounds from the initial 2.5 in 2 growing seasons. The others got 200+ pounds each in the same time period.

[@darrybush5293]

Paul fantastic harvest, I’m so jealous, love Sarpo Mira potatoes, been growing them I think two seasons. I might have to look into the Baltic Rose for my February planting. This past season I grew Red Norland, Yukon Gold, White Superior, Sarpo Mira, and a purple potato not sure what its name is. I’m thinking of adding Huckleberry and Prairie Blush to my arsenal for next year.

[@faithevrlasting]

Great yield, tasty. Please explain why you pronounce sarpo as sharpo? never heard that before.I have no potato growing sucesses. Even in 20 gal deepbags w exceptional soil, chowed down by bugs andvoles. In the bags. Go figure.

[@GutenGardening]

Great question. I actually had to research the name’s pronunciation last season to confirm pronunciation as Sharpo instead of what it looks like. I try my best to make sure I get pronunciations as close as possible to correct. Keep at growing! I would love to hear when you have success.

[@Anna-kg5dy]

So what was the starting weight of the seed potatoes? I like to keep track of starting and ending weight ratios to see how I’m doing. I’m sure your ratio was excellent. Congratulations on such a productive harvest. It validates all the soil-building work.

[@glamrhinestones9283]

Great video, new subscriber. How many pounds of each variety did you plant to harvest 70 pounds. When you fertilized twice, was it bone meal and azomite?

[@davidg813]

Well it's an impressive Harvest but at the same time this seems to be one of the world's longest drawn out advertisements ever most Seed Catalog prices I've seen recently are outrageous and especially when it comes to seed potatoes ordering from a catalog you're going to pay through the nose for those and in New York state where I live you actually have to pay a sales tax on seeds for your vegetable garden our sales tax is 8% so what good is a 5% discount and it's a 5% discount from what I will give him the price so you can determine whether or not they have 5% is worth anything

[@GutenGardening]

I would say, if you find good seed potatoes locally that you are happy with, go for it! That is where we got our Magic Molly seed potatoes a few years ago (a local greenhouse) and we have loved and regrown those year after year.

[@davidg813]

@@GutenGardening I use countrymax seed potatoes are around 79 cents a pound play will admit that your soil looks beautiful and those potatoes are outstanding
