Some of our potatoes were a little smaller than hoped for, but we are very grateful to get this abundant harvest nonetheless!
Now, let's try out these taters 🥔!!!
We hope this was not only interesting to watch, but also informative! Let us know what potato varieties you have grown or will consider growing in the future!

I am watching and can just imagine the fun you're having..I also used all my old potatoes from the year before.. New friend here from Growing My Own.
Potato harvests are so much fun! It’s like a scavenger hunt, and using the old potatoes is the way to go! Thank you for the support 😁
Very Impressive Video! Nice harvest! The Potato Variety Information provided is so helpful!!!
Thank you. We're glad you found the information helpful!!!
Jim on Home Grown Veg on You Tube has a lot of good tips, especially regarding potatoes, but also lots of other veggies. He lives in England. For potatoes, he puts 2 inches of soil in a much smaller bucket or bag approximating 2 gallon size, and then puts in just one potato, mostly from store-bought potatoes that he later chits up. Most of the potatoes as you also saw, are in the middle. He does experiments as well which are interesting.
Thank you for the reference! We’ll check out his channel. Very interesting to watch experiments in the garden - it’s always great info!
Thank you again for the suggestion and thanks for watching!!!
It's a great harvest🥔🥔🥔
Thank you! 😀
Great info ladies, I didn't know certain potatoes had such a long storage life. Also love the nutritional value of the blue potatoes. I need a couple of those😊
We also didn't know that some varieties had a longer shelf life than others until last year. And with the blue potatoes...YEESSS! They are one of the most nutritious potato varieties out here, and besides the color, it's a regular potato 🤩
Awesome video! What a duo! 😊
Thank you so much! We enjoy gardening together. It’s a lot of fun growing with our family 😊
Nice harvest ladies!!❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️❤️
That is a very nice harvest and video.
Thank you! We're very glad to get this harvest...we weren't sure what to expect this time 😅 lol.
I love your little animation 😊
Thank you so much! The visuals/animations are fun to use. Glad you enjoyed the video 😌!!!

Thank you for putting in information on each variety. I wish more people would. I am in Oklahoma, and just put in my potatoes for fall harvest. They will be seed potatoes for spring. I chose Purple Viking and Sarpo Mira. I will probably get two additional varieties next spring to try also. Blessings on you both!
Of course! It’s always great to learn about the varieties that are available- there are so many different varieties. We will look into choosing a couple new varieties for next spring also. Blessings on you as well!
A phenomenal video! I love the information, details, tips and graphics. Keep up the outstanding work young scholar.
Thank you so much!!! My mom and I want to make sure we give details on the plants we're growing with hopes that it's helpful for others. We're really glad you enjoyed the video and the information given!
Hi love the harvest! I'm in the UK I used those size grow bags too, I filled one to about 2 inches from the top to see if I could lift it comfortably the answer was no so I chatted to some other gardeners and mixed the soil/earth/compost what ever you call it with brown leaves I collect in the fall and chopped up hey because potatoes don't mind the odd twig and the soil to be rugged I think they like the challenge and a bit of manure etc but anyway my point is it makes the bag half the weight! and we got a pretty good result out of 8 bags so far we have 24lb I'm well chuffed I really want to see if we can get the blue one's over here love the funky coloured veg! I love there are so many gardeners now! love light and laughter to you both xx
Thank you SO MUCH for the info and encouragement! That was so sweet! We may need to consider your method and reduce the weight with some leaves next time. Much love from Tennessee, USA, and happy growing!!!
Awesome harvest ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Great job
Thank you!
I wait until my potatoe leaves are 100 % dead i mean brown and crunchy until i harvest my potatoes.
We should have harvested some of the bags a few weeks later when the leaves would have been more brown and crunchy. We were a little eager this year 😅 We’ll let them dry out longer next time. Thanks 😊
Every eye (chit) on the seed potato will grow a plant. So if you use multiple seed potatoes, you will have a lot of plants competing for nutrients.
That’s very true!!! We’ll remove most of the eyes and reduce the number of potatoes in the bags next time to see if we have a better outcome regarding their size. Thank you!!
Thank You for the video! I had a similar experience growing in grow bags a couple years ago. Our growing season is a little earlier than yours (Feb to May) but I recommend as well. Thanks for the info on variety, im gonna get me some red norland for my spring potato salad!
We may consider growing a few potatoes in-ground next year to see how they do, but we'll still primarily grow them in grow bags. We'll be planting more Red Norlands for round #2 soon. With home grown potatoes, we're sure your potato salad will be DELICIOUS!

Hey there! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
What a great channel you have here!! Great harvest, new sub ❤
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing ☺️!! We were very glad to get that potato harvest and can’t wait to start eating them.
Is it not true that potatoes are very high in carbohydrates and that these are turned into sugars that enter the bloodstream easier than pure sugar ?
Cut one potato into 4 chunks...for each bag
Let it dry & heal then plant it
Those were too many whole potatoes for one bag
I got a question why do y'all plan them in bags if y'all have all of that land I don't understand the concept do you get more potatoes in a bag than you would have ground
That’s a fair question. The short answer is for convenience. It’s easier for us to harvest potatoes when they’re in grow bags/buckets than digging in the ground. Potatoes are one of those crops that can grow just as well, and sometimes better, depending on your soil type, in containers than in ground. Thanks for asking. I’m sure other people may be curious as well, I know we would be. Thanks for watching!
