Great harvest! I totally understand the fun and excitement of a potato reveal. My daughter used to say it was like looking for
Easter eggs.
Very nice harvest! I love using the grow bags, surprised to see rodent damage on your spuds. I have purchased flower seeds based on what I've seen in your videos this year. You are part of my flower garden! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love for beautiful and interesting living things. Enjoy your mash and fries!
Hey, your potatoes did really nicely. I would be very pleased with that harvest. I'm eating my home garden spuds now too. My garden gives me just about all the vegetables I ever use. About the only vegetable I ever buy from the store are onions as I don't grow Spanish onions. My garden is right outside my cabin door so I don't have to drive to get there which means a lot. I've always been really happy I can grow so much of my own food. Dahlias are blooming great right now too. Enjoy your spuds. Cheers!
She 's a good chef and great sister , she care for everyone in her family , Hao's friends are lucky to try her food the first time :)
Today is June 11th 2024 and believe it or not but we are still getting Morning Frosts here in Scotland. (So much for global warming) I hope my lovely Red Pipers wont be affected too much.
Thank you for posting!
Great harvest!
Nice harvest. Mine was not so good this year. Too hot here in Alabama. Love all your videos. Always informative and encouraging and somehow, relaxing, like a visit with a friend in the garden. Thank you for the hard work and effort you put into producing your videos and sharing your garden and time with us. Happy autumn and happy gardening.
Those potatoes look awesome.
what a cracking harvest katrina
You are an amazing person 🥰
Such an huge production 🤗
Good harvest!
Nice potato harvest, and another great vlog!
Thanks for video and lovely trousers 😊
im a big fan of potato reveals
Wonderful harvest Katrina 😃 and so rewarding 💕
Well done M"duck they look lovely. Great job.
Very nice harvest of potatoes, not bad for going through a drought earlier in the year...Steve...🙂
I always enjoy watching your movies or film.
Nice job! 🥔🥔🥔
Your videos are so awesome, so informative... thank you
Your vegetable patch has such welcome discoveries. Thankyou for sharing your experiences
Loving your work 👏👍
your potatoes are brilliant
I grew potatoes from some shrivelled old ones in the fridge after watching an earlier video here and got a really good haul, so thanks for the inspiration.
Incredible harvest! Love your videos, educating, entertaining and aesthetic to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Hi from Australia.
Fantastic result again. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
You had the sort of summer we would usually deal with in SA - probably on the mild side for us. Things I usually have to manage when growing potatoes in tubs are greening of potatoes from sunlight and heat but most importantly irrigation. When it’s hot and dry it’s tricky to keep the top of the pot moist without having sludge in the bottom. If I got ants in a pot here I might consider a flame thrower. They are nasty buggers on this side of the planet.
I planted my first seed taters for this spring a fortnight ago (Charlotte) and the second this weekend (Sebago) - keeps the progression happening. King Edwards next. They go well for me.
My favourite variety is Kipfler - similar in shape to Fir Apple. They are ‘waxy’ and make the best potato salad ever.
The worst homegrown potato knocks a supermarket potato out of the park.
Lovely!
I love potato reveals!! Like a kid on Christmas morning! Gardening is a joy in general; thanks for sharing yours!
Captivated by you dumping out potato pots. So satisfying haha.
This was fun to watch. Love your excitement and knowledge you share. Thank you.
i'm all for the potato reveals, I find them really exciting! Inspired by you growing potatoes in pots I tried it myself for the first time this year and grew some second earlies called Collen (I think you may have grown them in the past too). They turned out great! Was very pleased with growing my own potatoes and will definitely do it again next year but grow more, and maybe a few varieties or an early and a main crop. Your pink ruff ones look very interesting, will be intrigued to hear how they taste
Wow this is amazing
Another good vid. Thanks
Absolutely gorgeous! And the garden is looking great too! 😅 love and best wishes from Wilts.
So lovely to see! This year was the first year I tried it, I only have a balcony so in a pot of +/- 30 liter. It was not a lot but a few big ones so pretty exciting for the first time!
The video I'm new at growing potatoes and it has really helped both of them how to and this one
Wonderful harvest !!!!!
I'm waiting for my sweet potatos . Sooooon I hope .
Thank You for sharing and have a fantastic day
Pink Fir are a favourite, waxy and ideal for potato salad
You're beautiful 🥰 and the harvest from containers is astonishing 🤗
Very well done.
I had grown mine in a bag without the results. Will start to us your technique. Well done!
Great job
Lovely harvest! I’m still working on growing potatoes successfully 🙃
You have got to be the most beautiful allotment owner I’ve ever seen
Nice harvest. Happy equinox and potato roasting!
Thank you 😊
I just bought some organic ones from the grocers. The greenery is dead. So you've inspired/reminded me to harvest mine. I could wait since my first frost isn't until mid October. As always thank you for sharing your lovely garden.
Thank you some really helpful advise -going to pots and peat free this season
Great harvest considering the drought & heat you have had in the UK.
Our harvest was also good out if tubs and bags. Maybe I'll try to pink fur ones next year. Thank you for your videos and hope the wedding plans are going well x
I keep used peat compost in dustbins. My potatoes are grown in 20l buckets and I use the same compost every time with added nutrients. The great thing about buckets is that they can easily be moved. The first frost was last weekend here in Wales and the potatoes had a sleep over in my lounge as they are frost tender. The potatoes I'm growing now are second mains for harvest around December. The first mains were harvested at the end of August as they were ready. Average of 2.5kg per bucket.
That's it really. A couple bags of this compost comes in at around £20.00 which rather defeats the purpose. I collect stable waste and compost it down on a large scale and amend with a potato fertiliser. The hard work with such high temperatures these days is watering.
Our pink fir apples also surprised us this year. We grew them using the Ruth Stout method but using leaves and hay instead of straw. Our kestrel also did well but we had a lot of green potatoes. Note to self more mulch next year!
100% very best
Hi its Tina my favorites are also Charlotte's I grow 2 in a 35lt pot and grow loads when the foliage dies back I store the buckets in my emptied greenhouse I stack them 3 high then cover the top buckets in fleece then just harvest the buckets as I need them I don't water I let the compost dry I have kept them right through to April with no problems love the vlog
I love potato reveals! You have inspired me to try fingerlings next year.
I had no idea they had this name until now 😂
I mainly grow Charlotte's now, I did some first early Swift this year as well, but with Charlottes you can harvest early as well, miss the blight, they store well, I'm still eating mine now, they're really reliable and they taste great. I mainly grow mine in the ground plus a handful of tubs. All the best, John, Hampshire, UK
I grew potatoes in grow bags for the first time and so far my harvest has been so so. But honestly I think I didn’t use the right soil mixture and so they dried out too much. So fun to watch. Thanks
Great harvest i just popped in some that had chitted from the supermarket and harvested them the other day and was surprisd how many i got and how good they tastedxx
Hello!!!! ..... congratulations.......and also garden is looking so good
Sunflowers ....I love your trousers.
we plant potatoes in the ground. but I will try it in buckets, I liked it🙂👍
I'm Irish but we still love ya..
Hello. May 2nd from FL. Your video inspired me to run out to my small back garden and dig the top layer of a small container potato plant and I saw one near the surface. I struggled with it because I did not want to disturb the plant. A double potato finally came out. This is the third time since planting March 1st that the same plant has given me a bunch of small potatoes. I have 30 other plants to let mature in the proper way. I sometimes dig down and get sweet potatoes that way as well. Thanks.
Smashing.👍
Well done with your harvest. There’s no better potato than home grown. I think shop bought spuds are expensive and lacking in flavour. I grow ALOT of potatoes every year and this year I only watered them when I planted them and I was amazed. We only used stored water that we collected over winter so needed that for the greens, roots, onions and some new trees. I mulched the spuds with grass clippings and kept my fingers crossed. I had a little scab but a high yield on pink fir Apple (which I love) and Kestrel. 😅 it was a good, good lesson and saved me so much time not watering.
Looking forward to your next garden tour.. x
Most interesting, and informative. Thank you. I see you've become engaged since part 1. Congratulations.
hi Katrina merry Christmas and new year to you both hope you both have a great Christmas and new year I'll look forward to seeing your next video until then take care of yourself and stay safe
love the dungarees 😊😊 and whats not to like in a potatoes reveal.. spring here in NZ so I just planted my summer early (variety is called Heather which has a pink/purple skin)
nice harvest..watching from phillippines
Χαιρετισμούς από Ελλάδα!!
Είσαι χαμογελαστή και όμορφη όπως και οι πατάτες σου ωραίες! Καλή όρεξη!!
good harvest well done. I tried Lady Balfour main crop ths year. Good sized potato which roasts, boils and mashes very well. Nice creamy taste
Hi it's Jon and I love gardening I have my own greenhouses and I grow lots of things
I grew mine in 29 pots about the same size as yours and I harvested 106 LBS> I had some scab on some but overall a good crop. I plant in March and harvest in June. Thin I add compost and seed in Okra. Thanks for sharing.
I planted some that i got from the supermarket, and they are now growing succesfullly
Quite the harvest of potatoes. We had some in grow bags and also in the ground probably ended up with about 10 kilos as you say not cost effective but taste way better than store bought.
Love that harvest! The have done well for you. I have found the Dalefoot peat free compost is very good with water retention. Although I have been a bit caught out this year as I used their tomato compost and did overwater a bit at first as I was a bit paranoid in the heat. Have learned my lesson. I have been growing charlottes as my autumn potatoes for Christmas but because it has been still so warm, the ones planted at the end of July I think I will have to harvest some now! Hope you have enjoyed your Pink Fir Apples, they looked fab.
I've just took on an allotment in Leicester, and after watching one of your older videos I had to order some Cara organic seed potatoes. 👍
Amazon harvest. Cannot beat the flavour of home grown potatoes. I love fir apple and love sarpo axona (couldn’t get them in recent years) however any home grown potatoes have amazing flavour. Worth it for everyone to grow a few buckets
I have wire worm so buckets have worked best
Great crop this year, next year I’m trying sweet potatoes also x
Nice harvest. Here is central Alabama, USA (which is much further south than where you are), I typically plant potatoes in February and harvest them in June. Usually by the end of June, the soil has gotten too warm for the plants to continue living. So that is when I harvest my potatoes.
I will be doing the same thing down here in Texas.
Love YOU Dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've got me interested in the pink fur potatoes now, never heard of them before😃 I'm growing mostly Desiree potatoes as they are doing ok, ever since I've read that red skinned potatoes are healthier, I've kept to them. I've tried Setanta (?) last year but they don't like it too dry. The Desiree potatoes did pretty well considering the weather but with room for improvement.
Great inspiring video. Our favourite Potato is Marfona, they are healthy and very tasty.
From a 30-litre plastic bucket. 2 seed potatoes per bucket. Bought compost from Garden Centre. We average 9 pounds weight per bucket. Just add Chicken manure pellets and Fish, blood and bone.
Greetings from N/W England
Nice
Very nice 👌 👍 👏 😀
Interesting to watch your results, may be the fingerling potatoes seem to have done the best this year with the hot weather.
I've grown Ratte which have been quite successful.
Brilliant stuff. We ended up with over 100 pounds of potatoes
Yep Pink Fir Apple and Charlotte for waxy best flavour - Sarpo Blue Danube for roasties, wedges and baked. I also store in the same way you do - Pink Fir Apple store really well and unlike supermarket potatoes will not sprout in under a week when in the warm kitchen. My soil based potatoes have universally outperformed my container counterparts - much higher yields with more and larger potatoes. This year I have grown Charlotte, Jazzy,Pink Fir Apple, Maris Peer, Picasso, Sarpo Axona, Sarpo Blue Danube and Sarpo Mira. I think the difference was down to the Containers (black) overheating and drying the compost - Considering gravel tray bases to act as water trays. Anyway, you have a good crop there and varieties not often found in the shops (well charlotte can easily be found - but the others...) ttfn and keep up the gardening 🙂
What a beautiful garden and Katrina you are so charming🥰 Nice harvest by the way! Speaking for myself, didn't grow potatoes this year - almost the entire garden was filled with tomatoes instead. now i plan to sow overwintering veggies for the next spring. Are you doing something similar? Perhaps in the poly-tunnel. So far did some leafy valerian sowing (leafy variety for salads, not herbs) and planning to sow spring onion and garlic from sets and hopefully some more greens undercover in a poly tunnel. Keep up, I love your channel! Each video is an amazing relaxation and helps getting close with nature.
They look like nice potatoes they look well
I did put some.pots with potato's....fter I watched at least 15-20 videos..
I hope I will have some potato's.
looking great, well done. I love Kipfler - but storing them here in South Australia is tough due to the heat
I wish I would have recognised what is going on in this world and that my soul path was at the farmhouse where my relatives live in Germany!
Together with my brother, I should have been there years ago!
I think that was rather good. I had more a mix. Some amazing, others ahhhhh
I have been growing in grow bags. Last year was amazing. This year was a bit of a mix. I don't buy compost for potatoes because like you say its not really worth it. Instead I keep reusing the same compost but add potato fertilizer. To me growing potatoes is just for fun really. At this point I think the compost is about 5 years old.
Hi there I did Charlotte potatoes in tubs and averaged 5lbs per tub. My tubs were 30ltr a bit bigger than yours but as I am new to gardening
I am not judging as I like to watch your videos all the time.
Elfe is my favourite tasting variety. A nice buttery tasting variety. Doesn't crisp up well in the oven for roasties but the flavour is so nice I prefer Elfe to something like Maris Piper. Couldn't get hold of any Elfe this year though unfortunately so I went with Cara instead based on watching your videos. So hope they're as tasty as you claim! 😂
I'm also growing some Blue Danube and some Jersey Royals just because I had some leftover from last year.
The sod looks good!
Yeah it’s done well considering the heat! The dry patchy bits are greening up again now 😊
@@homegrowngarden Your Rose Finn Apple harvest is impressive! Fingerling potatoes like these have become very popular in gourmet restaurants here in the U.S. I've had good luck with French fingerlings, which are sometimes called "nosebag" potatoes based on a story that they were smuggled into this country in a horse's nosebag.
@@josephscudlark9476 I’ve never heard them called that before 😆 Does you have any favourite recipes for them? It’s not one I’ve cooked much before!
Love the total harvest! 😍 I wanna try grow Pink Fur Apple again 😂
