Excellent result Ivan, enjoy your harvest. Look forward to your next reveal. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you too Sheila
That's a good result from a single potato in a small container in just eight weeks. I wouldn't have thought that that was possible.
Very pleased
Thank you Diana
Thanks Ivan, that's a nice harvest of spuds in eight weeks from one seed potato, by the way your 'high tec' wind muffler is doing a great job. Have a lovely weekend. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Haha yes it is Thank you Stevie
That is excellent from your pot. I’ve just dug some up from my allotment because the wind had got them and they are much smaller. So well done Ivan.
Great stuff Thank you Anne
Nice harvest of new potatoes Ivan. A good size too! I use a tarp too and reuse compost. 👍
Great stuff Thank you Irene
You & Ginny got a Llvely crop of first earliest from a small container 😊. That split potatoe would have made a good contribution to some home made chips 😋
Yes thought about it after
Thank you Debbie
Nice one, good that for one potato, looking forward to harvesting my earlies soon, thanks for sharing Ivan ...
Thank you too Carol
A pretty good haul Ivan from a container that size 👍
Thank you Jack
Brilliant weight from just one seed potato. I’ve emptied 2 of my first early potato bags and got 1.8lb of decent new potatoes, I collect all the little tiddlers as well and coat them in oil and herbs and roast them in my air fryer, very tasty 😋 I’ve still got 3 more bags to empty and then the main crops later on in the year.
Great stuff and the baby spuds sound great
Thank you Nicki
good honest report thats why i always watch your vids many tks
Thank you Alan much appreciated
I couldn't wait any longer so harvested one small bag of rocket potatoes, got 1lb worth from 1 seed potato, quite small but fine for salad. Will leave the other bags a bit longer. Soil quite dry though. First time growing anything so pleased.
Still a great result pleased for you Anne
Here in Melbourne Aus we got a couple of light frosts and then howling wind.
The only plants that got badly damaged were the potatoes. At least I got a few good-sized potatoes out of them.
Cheers!
Always best to look on the positive side
Thank you
Mine as been amazing
Great stuff Thank you Shaun
Ivan, you can still eat the split potatoes. Excellent result, though.
Yes you can just cut away any bad bits
Thank you
I love the fast you have over 2lb from just one seed potato! Amazes me the power of nature. Hope they taste as good as they look.
fact.
Thank you Melody
Thank you
I'm coming to think that a whole series of smallish bags or pots, planted in succession and depending on your climate/facilities, could keep a single person or a couple in fresh 'new' potatoes for a large part of the year, with virtually no digging or other 'heavy' work.
That is true just stick to first or second earlies as they grow quicker
Thank you
Enjoyed the video. Great haul ❤
Thank you
Nice result. Dug my first earlies (Charlotte) last weekend. Didn't expect much tho got 4.1 kg from 16 plants. Could have been more, but as usual I was lax with the watering, Especially with all the rain we had and the potatoes being in an open raised bed I didn't think much watering was necessary. Wrong again for another year.
Will have to put some sort of fencing up around the jute bag planters with the main crop potatoes as they got a bit battered by the wind. The ones in the big plastic potato planters are ok so far tho 🤞
Still a good result and the wind is always a pain best of luck and Thank you
Not a bad harvest of potatoes Iven, considering they grew from one seed potato. All the very best Tim 😊
Was very pleased Thank you Tim
Not a bad return at all from such a small pot - well done!
The winds here in Lancashire have been shocking today/last night. A very large container with a mature rhododendron was blown over in the garden when I got up this morning to water. Fortunately the allotments/raised beds are not as exposed to the wind as the lawned gardens are, and I was happy to see my peas and beans were still upright! I'm having fresh garden peas daily now, and able to swap/give them away - my friend on the other raised bed planted her spuds earlier than I did, and has harvested some of them already, so a third resident in these flats baked a large new potato, peas, spring onion and cheese pie for a group of us - all home-grown ingredients except for the pastry and the cheese! Pity the strawberries weren't ready, for a 😅pudding, but the rhubarb plants are becoming really well established, so roll on next year!
Sounds great Thank you
Ivan from a small pot looks great...Will see what I have got in a week from my pot been in for 9 weeks thanks Eric
Best of luck Eric
I thought that was a great result 2.5lbs from a approx 10 litre container and 1 potato. Last year with 4 Charlottes in a 30 litre container I was only getting a max of 4 to 5lbs per container.
Leaving my 10 litre containers another week, don’t hold much hope as nowhere near the growth you have on yours. Had to pull one early as it suddenly all started drooping and turned yellow. Had a bit of blight only 12 oz of spuds.
Well best of luck with the others
Thank you Derek
Yes, you should not have discarded the split potato. Nothing is wrong with it. It is still edible.🥔
Thank you
That's a decent amount of spuds from that container. Are you putting some other potatoes in?
Thank you and yes just more first earlies
looking good
Thanks 👍
Marvellous 🎉x
Thank you Debbie
Silly question . Why did you discard the split potato, yet you put the one with a bit of green on in the bag saying you could cut away the green .
Just not thinking lol Thank you Elizabeth
nice harvest from such a small container. I was away for the week and I came back to my potatoes being pretty much yellow/dead., so I was fored to harvest. honestly though I'm happy with the result. now that they are harvested would I be able to refresh the compost and plant another first/secound early potatoe for a later harvest??
Yes you can do that Thank you
For a small container, I think you died very well. Those are some nice looking potatoes.
Thank you Connie
Would the split potato work as a seed potato? I've not heard anyone say either way before.
Yes if it chits it can be replanted
Thank you
