Never heard of an icecream truck. Heavy duty icecream. Wonderful reveals. Nothing beats the joy of a good spud harvest.

[@roythompson6137]

Ice cream trucks are part of British culture....

[@nitrophantomgaming]

Beautiful lady 😍 in beautiful garden ❤❤

[@wildlifegardener-tracey6206]

Our two year old granddaughter helped reveal our potatoes this year, her first ever potato dig. I tipped out the pots and oh the joy. She was so excited finding the potatoes, then she found the biggest worm and was even more excited. You can't get that experience down the shop. A magical moment for me and her grandad 💚

[@homegrowngarden]

Aww so sweet! Thanks for sharing 💜

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Agree with you there! My grandson was excited to dive in for the big spuds to show to his mum.

[@elainemcgran8828]

Exactly , Why not just go out and buy a bag of potatoes? Well, why not just go out and buy a potato grow bag / bucket and grow your own. Why would anyone make that comment, especially when that's what your channel is about? Growing your own food. 😊. Both varieties look gorgeous 😊

[@rizesgardening]

Perfect looking spuds 😍🥔

[@carmenbailey1560]

Nice potatoes, but now I want some ice cream. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@laurenmariebishop8409]

I really missed you so much.

[@HamidMa-wz7jm]

Good I love it

[@itsmewende]

Looks good, bet they taste good too. I think having a veg garden is for the joy of it too

[@lissyadams6497]

Only a non gardener would say something like that. Can't beat the taste of your own grown produce.

[@chrismoose64]

What a delightful channel this is.

[@DennisD-yv4ys]

I'm trying potatoes in big black pails this season! Thanks to your advice 🤫😘 I'll make a vid later

[@herrhaller6769]

good lookin bunch spuds , ha !

[@franceswatts4001]

A year later and I just found this video. Your snail graveyard looks as though you have a thrush in your garden, and the container with its foliage makes a perfect safe spot for it to “harvest” the snails. Particularly if you have a largish rock or brick nearby for bashing in the shell.

[@lucrom1097]

Hallo Katrina Good oogst aardappelen thans the video doe zo verder grootjes Top ❤🌹🌞🍹🥔🌻💐🌿

good job

[@eastcoastandy2905]

Arran pilot, Desiree and Pink Fir Apple for me this year with a couple of Nicola that I kept for seed from last year thrown in. About half grown in sacks, the rest in a bed. A bit scabby this year, probably the dry weather. Pink Fir Apple will stay in the ground for now. Desiree sacks got a head start in the hallway and were ready by the middle of July. Flavour excellent too. Thanks for the update and good luck with all your other projects.

[@iraqiforever3665]

Nice .. here in IRAQ we prepare to second season for potato , because our weather we can plant potato two times in year 🎉

[@موچوعقلۂبے]

Nice 💯

[@Tamsins_Potager]

Love, love, love a potato reveal. Never gets old ❤😂🥔🥔🥔

[@michaeldavidson2073]

Good job again. Love your videos. Yep spud harvesting is the best fun. You inspired me to grow spuds in containers and I’ve never looked back. We can grow spuds all year round in Aus. Sometimes outside of the peak spring/summer cycle yields can be a bit variable, but if you accept that it’s great being able to get home grown spuds almost continuously (can’t plant in Jan/Feb cos the new foliage gets cooked). I’m planting sebagoes right now, 2 in a 40L tub, one tub every 2 weeks. I’ve done well with King Edwards, Charlotte, Kestrel and Kipfler (same shape as a Fir Apple and the best ever for potato salads). I’ve also planted random, unnamed spuds from the super market with mixed success. Like you I either spread the compost on my raised beds or chuck it back into the compost heap with my kitchen and garden waste. It really accelerates compost production cos the worm population goes ballistic. Thanks again for introducing me to the benefit of tubs!! I grow all my veggies in tubs and wicking beds now. Presently I have leeks, cauliflowers, broccoli, broad beans and bok choy all doing really well in tubs.

[@LindzH]

I grew Rocket first earlies and Estima second, both quite small this year and died off a little sooner than I'd hoped, wall in the water watching Tony the you tube potato man. But you can't beat home grown they taste so much nicer. Nice to watch the joy of the reveal.

[@carolineholland4178]

🎉❤ Lovely crop. Your last video about growing potatoes in pots inspired me. I grow all of my potatoes in pots now. Last year, I put the used compost back into the pots and left it over winter. The worms moved in and replenished the compost for me. Then I used it to mulch my beds.

[@janeturley3717]

Cara grew well in Cheshire this year. I love the excitement of harvesting potatoes, you never know how they have done until you pull up a plant

[@Dawn_Grows_Veg]

One of the best things to grow in the garden to eat as you say such fun to do a reveal and see how they have done. and can be grown easily in pots. I have grown Red Duke of York (beautiful red skinned first early), International Kidney (like a Jersey Royal but what they are called when not grown in Jersey) and Charlotte and then my mains I have Cara (one your recommendation from last year) and Sarpo Mira (reliable and taste good and blight resistant). All in buckets. My yields have been lower than expected probably due to the dry start to spring and early summer, but still enough for me and my hubby to munch through. And to serve my extended family a great potato salad when we had a family barbecue. So good! the taste of freshly harvested potatoes has just no comparison to supermarket ones. Can't wait to see how your Java do, as this was the new variety of Main crops you mentioned this year and one I would like to try next year.

[@uppanadam]

I've got a pot that's been going since April this year!! The leaves are so green!! I've been busting my guns waiting too find out what's underneath it!! LOL!!

[@joolzmac1]

Go to the shops? Potatoes can be 12 months old when you buy them. I’ve just planted 36 seed potatoes in raised beds and pots, hoping for a good harvest in January. I can’t wait! (South Australia🇦🇺)

[@amimeamine5970]

Good

[@jamesskorupa8694]

I’m in Indiana, USA. I’ve been trying to grow potatoes every year for a couple decades now and never get very many or very large potatoes. I’m jealous of your harvests every year. I never had anything close to that. I’ve eliminated nutrition as the problem. Not sure if ph is effecting them. But did find out I plat them to close in the ground and too many in pots. This year I tried only one in a smaller pot and only 2-3 in very large pots. They were bigger and more plentiful than all previous years. But whatever variety it is, it’s never more or larger than your early crop you dumped out. I’ve seen your main crops and they’re huge. When you said they were smaller than normal cause of drought in June, I realized it has to be drought. We are getting more and more ,ow rain conditions each successive year. This year was very dry, with only a couple good rains. So it must be my problem,lack of water early in the season. Thanks for your knowledge.

[@georgemartin9618]

Nice haul of spuddies there Katrina. The dry spell in June had a big affect on potatoe yields this year. According to Thomson and Morgan the variety Jazzy can yield up to ninety potatoes from one seed. I never got more than twenty and mostly tiny ones .

[@RA-rf4nz]

I'm growing potatoes for the first time this summer. Started late around mid-May. It's been over 100 F (38C) every day for the past month and forecast is for another 2 weeks of 100+ degree days. So mine will be baked and ready to eat soon. :)

[@dn744]

I also pulled salad potatoes today. Rather a nice yield 😊

[@anaschilling2668]

Love your potato reveals !! I’m in Australia so mine not ready yet. 😊🥔🥔

[@helenmcgill5563]

Well done! A lovely haul. I’m growing my potatoes in pots for the second year after a good harvest last year. There is nothing more satisfying (and delicious) as growing your own potatoes. Anyone who thinks the store bought ones are as good have never tried eating home grown and freshly harvested potatoes. 😀👍🥔 Boiled with butter, fresh parsley and black pepper - the best!

[@kestrelfeather]

Nice! I can live on potatoes. Here I've been digging up a few potatoes, just a start. It seems like a good year for spuds. Like yours, mine are very nice. Growing food for ourselves is worth every bit of that life giving effort. Cheers!

[@top-wasp88]

I grew 25kg of cara and 25kg Charlotte this year and only got cara as seen how yours turned out wa amazed how good of crop I got I don’t have a allotment but do everything in the garden here in Nottingham

[@jaynemar1]

Nice spuds! Mash those babies!

[@roythompson6137]

Brilliant! My Charlottes (and Mona Lisas) got knocked down by a heavy storm in late June and the tops never really recovered so the spuds stayed quite small.

[@1snakehips]

Hey I thought the idea of growing your own was the enjoyment of a richer flavour than than those from commercial shop suppliers. This year am growing Maris Piper first time around from Charlotte potatoes. Because my garden suffers from frequent flooding from rain, I grow them in pots and a Table top garden. At the moment, (august 12th) they are lush green foliage with one or two eaten leaves. I think they will be ready to harvest mid or late September. Like you am looking forward.

[@EvaVaa-us4el]

Wow

[@patstephenso7206]

Thank you lve only just found you and l have an Allotment not far from you lm over near the Nottingham University so hi and thank you for your brilliant video, s xx

[@lindabuchan5855]

I grew jazzy for the first time this year, flavour is not bad 👍 I also love Charlotte too but have been quite scabby past couple of years.

[@mandytaylor1008]

Love your potatoe reveals we 😮ate our earlies and charlottes we just waiting n Picasso now. We need to grow double cos the family always want some so we don’t get loads

[@paulharrison6490]

2 million views of your spud planting video! That's awesome.You must be thrilled. I planted 2 varieties of potato this year,but both main crop so a bit early I think. Watching this tho makes me want to try at least out of the row to see whether any are ready.

[@Talula72]

I grew a variety this year called Blackberry. It has dark purple skin and flesh. They stay the dark purple even after cooking.

[@herstrangekind]

I lost half my potatoes and tomatoes due to early blight, hope the other plants actually grew some spuds. Yours look amazing!

[@laurenmariebishop8409]

My fingers are crossed.

[@Sarahlottie94]

I have grown jazzys this year and had a bumper havest so far definitely a new favorite in our house

[@astromadness]

I've grown red duke of York as my earlies this year. They've come out OK, but a bit small. On my containers, I used a chalk pen when I planted the seed potatoes to write how many seed potatoes were used in each container. 😉👍

[@chrisbradbury9514]

Hi congrats, on up and coming wedding,also i have turnd my back garden into a alotment type growing veg i have a greenhouse and i turned my polytunnel into a polygrub replaced green cover with polycarbon sheets i grow tomatoes and veg and chillies in it i got over 20 pounds of spuds from 12 tubs ive got another 12 tubs to harvest, a fact for you birds eat snail shells,cause its full of calcium,also the differant coulors on bird eggs like brown speckels or black speckles and the egg shells are made from calcium fron differant snails.. growing veg gives me a sence of acheivment and it cuts green miles down and shopping not as dear when food price goes up..

[@garycooper3487]

I fished out my Maris Pipers last week. Not a big crop compared to last year, but there were a few whoppers in the mix.

[@rayhitchman4741]

Looks amazing. Think i got 2-3 weeks yet as was late potting mine. Am going to plant some more soon for Christmas x

[@foodsworthyoursalt5538]

You inspired me to use containers. My new favorite crops are potatoes! I have placed some in containers w your method, some right into the ground. They are fun to grow. Thank you. ❤

[@homegrowngarden]

Wonderful!

[@kbjerke]

Very nice! Here in Ontario Canada, I've just begun to harvest potatoes, and so far they are excellent! Both a red and a white variety, I can't recall the names. Most I will leave in the ground for a few more weeks, harvesting a few at a time! Thanks for the video!

[@salihsamiracar]

Next time I suggest you can try the Agria Potatoes as well. It suits your country's climate. I follow closely. Regards and greetings from Turkiye. 🌼🌼🌻🌻

[@homegrowngarden]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@lithiump0p688]

im so with you with the you can get potatoes from shop no its totally different . First most shops have like 3 same potato varieties and many potatoes taste different look different and all the fun of finding out how they look this year how may you got ect is lost. I love the blue and pink and really old varieties like the ones from bronze age its just so fun.

[@markrandall3098]

Well done, some great looking spuds, thought I'd give it a go this year after watching your other videos, I got 33lbs of Charlotte's from 10 30ltr pots, well pleased and they taste great, thanks for the inspiration 🙋‍♂️

[@homegrowngarden]

Amazing result 🙌

[@aminebakar9914]

Goood

[@pots-and-petals]

I used far too much leaf mulch. It kept onto the moisture, but not the nutrients so they didn't do too well at all. Yours on the other hand are beautiful 🌱😊

[@diannefroggatt7708]

Didn't plant this year but deffo next year following your method!my dahlia as flowered following your advice than youx

[@homegrowngarden]

Wonderful!

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

I have wondered if mice in my garden have the occasional escargot party. I’ve never v seen a thrush in my garden, sadly. Few blackbirds too.

[@growingplotty]

You’ve fallen off your keto wagon ☺️ think I would for Charlotte potatoes too! Don’t forget to post what you think of the jazzy, I’ve never grown them but love the charlottes too!

[@homegrowngarden]

I finished that when the strawberries were ripe! I’ll keep you posted. They were great pan fried. Need to do a gentle steam for a truer flavour test 👌

[@growingplotty]

@@homegrowngarden ooh there’s too many lovely things ready now to worry too not partake I guess! Then it’ll be those lovely Joan j raspberries next! If my plot neighbours let me keep using half of their plot like they have this year I’ll have to make a second raspberry bed and get some Joan j for it, yours look fab! X

Thanks Katrina. What was the flavour like of Jazzy. I grew Wilja and they're too floury for me. I like waxy 😁

[@AthenaRelihan]

Delayed reaction because I wasn't well enough to garden last year so I stopped watching for a while but I agree Charlotte is the best but Jazzy is definitely my second favourite really love them and they can get quite big if left with a good watering at the pivotal time. Very similar to Charlotte, surprising Charlotte isn't one of its parents tbh

Yum! I'm still eagerly waiting for the foliage on mine to die but there is no sign of that here! I have prematurely harvested 2 15 gallon pots for a special meal of new baby potatos but have to draw the line and make myself be patient. This delicious looking harvest video is not helping with that lol😂

[@homegrowngarden]

Sorry 😅

[@HamzaRezouali-nk8wn]

👍👍👍

[@mikes8917]

My Potatoes grown in 50litre pots, were small this year caused by the dry and hot June, the numbers were good but the size was small. I save the compost, add some chicken poo and it’s good to go. Pumpkins doing very well this year. Carrots disappointing, again a hot dry June did no favours.

[@trackerbacker]

More flavour = more nutrients when you are eating vegetables. Guarantee there is more vitamin C etc. in homegrown produce than stuff you buy in the supermarket.

[@datkdgwgv]

My potato plants just won't die 😅 I don't if I should just leave or take up lol as when I say it won't die its like a whole bush.
