Not a bad crop of potatoes considering the size of the container Ivan. Tim 😊

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Tim

[@LindzandLife]

I absolutely love a good potato reveal. I've 9 bags and can't wait to start seeing what's in them. Would love a potato freezing video on the cooking channel, please, Ivan. I've had complete fails in the past mushy grainy watery messes 😂

[@Kathlee-l4z]

I would be interested in watching the video

[@Katya-zj7ni]

I make mashed potatoes and open freeze them in scoops then bag then. Great when making a shepherds pie I just top the meat mixture and bake, I use the butter and cream as well and they come out lovely. I also dry pressure can them too and they fry or roast up really well. Something happens to raw potatoes in the freezer that just isn’t nice.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Will get one sorted for Friday Thank you Lindz

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Will do Thank you Catherine

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

So true Thank you

[@Leigh33]

Did you make a video when you planted them buddy? If so and there are a couple you can't identify, like Maris Pipers and King Edwards compared to erm.... ie Kestrel being quite easy due to the colouration you can go back and check which variety you put in what pot.... Thats a great harvest of lovely looking spuds there. 👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤👍 Cheers Ivan!

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

[@charlotteinnocent8752]

Those potatoes look perfect!

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Charlotte

[@ruthannecoro6198]

Just stumbled across your Channel! Lovely potato harvest! Off to check out more of your videos! What size container and how many seed potatoes did you start with?

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Ruth I put 2 seed Potatoes in there

[@GARDENER42]

Roughly half my second earlies (Charlotte) looked like that, with yellowing leaves & softening stems). Last year, I was getting 3.5-4kg per container (4 seed potatoes per container) & the six I've emptied this year have been half that - very disappointing & IMO down to the ridiculously hot weather in early June. On emptying the containers, the middle part was often too dry, despite vigorous watering, so I'm hoping the other 6 containers are much better, as their tops are still 100% green. No worries though, as I've 56 Desiree in the beds at the allotment & that should ensure I don't run out before March 2024. ETA I've kept Charlotte second earlies in their containers all the way through to the new year for several seasons now. Just cut the tops off, stack the containers in my (dark) garage complete with compost & they keep just fine.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Great info and yes June was a little hot Good luck for future Harvests Thank you

[@johnryan116]

I got a bit giddy on your behalf during the reveal because I forgot to grow spuds this year. Simple pleasures

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Haha happens to us all Thank you John

[@Zoeybeau_1]

Well done a good harvest. I sent off for seed potatoes and they looked naff, having never grown them before I composted them. I've an old tin bath full of spuds as you guessed it, they grew. I've also got a handful of queens in, they're second earlies. I'm doing the Christmas spuds as well, with Sarpo Mira and Kestrels.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Great plan hope you get a good harvest Thank you

[@deepayne1930]

Like digging for hidden treasure.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Sure is Thank you Dee

[@tracypurkhardt2804]

Love a potato reveal but you really don't need to show us up close every single spud 🤣🤣 nice crop though

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Noted!

[@andreahodson7031]

I need to harvest some spuds methinks

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Brill Thank you Andrea

[@datkdgwgv]

Can't you use all of the mix again? Seems a little wasted

[@datkdgwgv]

Also how many seed pots did you start with?

[@ruthbentley8861]

I’m a first year grower this year, can the compost from the potatoes be used again or does it get thrown away. Thanks

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Yes, absolutely add more nutrients to it like fish blood and bone and you are good to go Thank you Ruth
