Potato's are my favorite crop to plant in my garden. Love them spuds! ❤
@@joannsilva4715 so versatile too!
I absolutely love your channel. First time potato grower here and it's time to harvest them. I got a little overzealous so I believe I will have to store a bunch of them. This video is right on time and easy to follow.
That's a good problem to have! Congrats! What kind are you growing?
Same problem here. And i have 2 of em. Annabel and charlotte.
Right on time again even in different continents! Thank you for sharing
My dad use to put lime over them to keep them. It helps to preserve them through winter.
That's a great trick! I'll have to try that, thanks for sharing! :-)
I have been gardening for about 20 plus years... Never tried potatoes until last year... And for my first year they came up pretty darn good🎉
I can not fathom your comment ?!?! I started gardening with potatoes first.!!? I Had elderly neighbours when I was 10 that would give me 20$ to plant 15 rows of their potatoes 😂 and I also would just plant everything else for the peace it gave me .. Dill, cucumbers, carrots and broccoli!! I believe potatoes are the easiest of the ones I did. I
Just harvested a quick row in my own garden tonight to see my progress actually. Going to leave them another two weeks seeing it’s plus 30 all week long in Alberta 🇨🇦
Love the garden quickie !
I’ve stored potatoes for 6-8 months and they are still great
Yes,conditions are everything!👍
I use some that get pretty wrinkly then for the following growing season. They aren't really pretty going in,but they are perfect coming out!🤗
If you don’t get a frost can you leave them in ground and dig them up as needed? I live in CA. No frost and no rain.
a dirty potato... is a happy potato : )
Thanks, always nice to hear from you! But...down here in S FL, there is no cool storage except the fridge! Guess illjust grow & eat in the winter!
Great video! Thank you so much
Hey, appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Hi Jeff
Thanks for the info. Take care God bless
Cheers Donna, thanks for watching! 🙂
Thanks!
Cheers Howard, thanks for watching!
Your videos are a visual treat, my friend. The attention to detail and creative flair make each one a masterpiece. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
The slugs were prolific, despite picking literally 2500 this spring.
They killed the plans, and, what I've dug up so far are filled with small cream colour worms.... sooo bummed.
Sincere Sympathy! Better Luck next time!
What root vegetables can be stored together? Also, my sweet potatoes got a bit of water on them, can I still store them? They were in a really cold area and sweated quite a bit. Not sopping wet, just damp to the touch. Thx! ☺️
Thanks Jeff. I'm hoping to harvest my first potatoes in the next few weeks. I appreciate your advice and the time you put into teaching us.
Cheers! Fingers crossed for a huge harvest for you! :-)
The fridge is cool, dark and dry??? And, what is curing them?
Go Rider Nation 😂!
👍👍👍👍👍
:-)
Mine have been planted for quite a while. They are nice and green but no blooms yet. I dont remember when i started them. How long doe it usually take before harvest?
When the plant dies off then they are ready.
So where can you store them if you don't have a root cellar or basement?
Yes, my house is in the 80's at the coolest in summer. And mid 40's everywhere but the living room in winter. Shed outside is an oven and freezer alternatively.
I store mine in cardboard boxes full of hay or straw in the darkest corner of my shop. The dry mulch acts as an insulator vs. extreme cold or hot temps, and it absorbs moisture while allowing airflow. It can get well over 100 in my shop or well below zero, but my potatoes & onions hold up really well storing them this way.
Still need to inspect them every week or two for any signs of spoilage.
How do you recommend curing them? Is we don't have a greenhouse and living in a northern state?
Lay them out in a dry place out of direct light. I use my garage floor. After about 2 weeks the skins will have toughened up enough for storage, then you can put them into mesh bags or cardboard boxes.
Hi, wow, I just had a question about storing potatoes today and here you are! I was wondering about the other side of the season though, I have just bought some "seed" potatoes from a seed company to grow my own, but I don't have room to plant them all at once. I was wondering if storing them in a cool dark place in paper bags would work to save some to plant later. Southern hemisphere here, my season is just starting!
Can you maybe plant some in some buckets or containers,maybe? ❤️
@@juliekraft4102 that's a good idea. And now I know how to store them for longer, so that I don't have to eat potatoes for breakfast, lunch and supper for a month after they are harvested 😃
Yeah, with seed potatoes bought too soon you have two options....sprout them early and get a head start, or hold them back and try to prevent sprouting. Just like storage potatoes, dry, cool, and dark will prolong the inevitable. 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms it's about time to start planting them, but I can only buy them in 9kg bags, which is too much for me. So I am going to try and hold some back to plant later in the season. My growing season is very long.
@@clairwilliams4093 nice. Much more fun to grow from your own stock anyways!
How can I store potatoes for at least a year or more
Hi Jeff i have a question,i open a small kabab stand,and i used potato as one of the filling, i prefer to buy potato from the market then the premade potato fries, how can i clean the dirt,and store the potato so it don't get spoild easy????
I wait until they are completely dry, then use a stiff brush
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms ooooh ok thanks for the info, this will make me save more money
@@masoudahmad4348 and taste better too!
So what if I DID wash them before I watched this 😂😂 I have basically only new potatoes. Are they not storeable? Can I freeze them?
@@OddballArtsLLC they will store, just for not as long. It's not a yes or no process.... It's all about best practices to extract the most of the outcome you want
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms oh ok good I was worried there for a second. I harvested 55lbs today, my first time growing them, so I gotta do SOMETHING lol
@@OddballArtsLLC that's so awesome! At the current price of organic potatoes, that's a small fortune there!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms ....is...are you serious?! *Eyeballs the farmers market in town*
