    A Huge Thumbs Up Jeff! We planted for the first time last season in a large potato grow bag. I found that easier than in the ground. It was also easier to find the potatoes and to reuse the soil. The rest we planted in one of the raised beds. We have never pre-sprouted for the eyes. We just cut a chunk off with an eye like you did and planted directly into the garden. It works both ways. Explain the difference between determinate and indeterminate potatoes. Maybe some viewers don't know. Makes for a good "Quickie". Take care!

    Somehow no one has made a potato vid where they don't plant it right in a pot or the ground as opposed to potting it temporarily until frost has cleared THANK YOU FOR THIS - EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR LAST WEEK - Bag of potatoes in a rack chitted on their own and I didn't want them to go to waste. Cut eyes off and planted several days ago in huge tub w/organic mix and lit them up and they are growing beautifully - TOO WELL - not leggy but thick stems full of leaves, I imagine with the above ground growth I must wait til the frost date in April - If you could make a vid about care until frost danger clears - growing quickly, flowering early, potential issues; there isn't anything out there about transplanting a start - just direct planting & leaving it alone - Just found your vids - EXTREMELY HELPFUL - THANK YOU! - oh & fyi - these weren't just starts, when I found them they had quite a bit of long growth (another vid issue as everyone plants when chits are tiny & wasn't sure if planting deep would damage them) - I planted them covering most of the growth & they have come through & are filling in, in just these few days - concerned about flowering & attempted underground growth in the tub without enough room as I can't safely plant them out for another 8 weeks.

      For sure Colleen. They are basically just tomato plants... Almost identical. I love making starter plants for them because I can get a huge head start on them, or I can delay planting them outside, they plant sugar snap peas for a quick crop, then finally get the potatoes in. It just buys you do much more time!

    Jeff … your general videos are greatly enhanced by your garden quickies. I am going through several daily to collect new, as well as confirm existing knowledge. Question please … potato chitting … my “understanding” is that during the life span of the growing season, the bulk of the potato gives food/energy/support to the tubers in creating the newly growing potatoes. However in this video, you slice off only the chitted section and plant it. 1. Is “my understanding”, my “misunderstanding”? 2. Do you dispose the remains of the potato to compost?? 3. What were the results (yield) of this method? Thanks

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, once the shoots on the chitted potatoes grow roots and become actual established plants, they don't need the rotting part of the potato anymore. Sure it'll release SOME nutrients back into the soil, but it's not necessary to get massive potato plants or harvests. T hey don't rely on it past the initial sprouting.

    Sprouting potatoes inside the house in small containers is a new idea. Then the only thing going in the ground is an actual plant. . . Would have avoided current situation. Planted 9 seed potatoes over two weeks ago, and only one is producing foliage. Two actually have green shoots at the soil surface, but aren't producing any leaves! So i'm sure something is wrong. Thinking maybe the seeds had too many coral like sproutings on them, that letting them sit around the house for six weeks eyeing up was too long.
