      Danny..? How did he get in there? I'll have to have a word with him about that 😂😂😂
      Pretty pleased with the harvest. Not the biggest haul I've ever had but the quality was decent enough.
      The legs not too bad, think it was more a case of dented pride than anything.👍🌱👍
      On the upside no one was there to see it happen. On the downside I wasn't filming as it would have made great content 😂😂😂

    I've just harvested a 30ltr bucket and got 10lb of Charlotte potatoes out. I've used a fertilizer called spuds galore. I will certainly be using it again.

    • @marksallotmentplot

      Will have to get myself some of that spuds galore fertiliser 👍🌱👍

    It always amazes how potatoes can hide in the soil, they're such a contrast in colour yet appear out of nowhere!

    Woohoo 😊
    Container Potato reveal videos are my favorite!
    We've been swamped with rain here in Texas. A lot of mine rotted. For my sweet potatoes, I have some in ground and some in containers. Here's hoping we get enough of a harvest for the year.
    It's time for me to dig the peanuts but it's supposed to rain through next week!
    I've never grown them before and I really wanted them to do well.
    They are varieties I had to order because they aren't available around here.

    • @marksallotmentplot
      @marksallotmentplot  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the like 😊
      The weather has been a bit on the crazy side so far this year. I'm never quite sure what its going to do next or what sort of harvests are going to come.
      Hope you manage to get a good crop of peanuts. I've heard of folk trying to grow them over here in the UK but don't think they've been massively successful.
      Guess us gardeners are ever the optimists 👍🌱👍

    Our potatoes were about the same as yours, although I've not weighed them yet.
    It's funny how we're so concerned when we fall if anyone sees us, lol. I'm glad you're ok, Mark. It could have been much worse.
    I'd do a bucket of each, potatoes and carrots 😊

    I agree with the taste aspect but I’m getting a little despondent with growing them 🤔 it’s my 4th year with buckets & the yield is always so poor. This year they’re split too. I’m obviously doing something wrong, but the £ of the buckets, seed & compost just makes me think is it worth it….

    • @marksallotmentplot
      @marksallotmentplot  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Have you tried them in the ground before Vanessa?
      I've always found the buckets to be pretty reliable but could imagine its a bit frustrating if they're not quite going right for you 👍🌱👍

    My first earlies did better than my 2nds. Neither ones flowered though & foliage died back on both at the same time. Very tasty though! (International kidney & Charlottes) Hope the leg is better soon

      Funny you say that about the flowering as neither my first or second earlies flowered this year either.
      I've just notices the main crops have got their first flower on them now though.👍🌱👍
