- Here we look at how to plant potatoes on a UK allotment as most allotment holders grow potatoes.
Knowing how to grow potatoes from seed potatoes is an essential part of allotment or home gardening. It is essential to know how to plant potatoes if you have an allotment in the UK as we all grow them. Even the smallest veg patch can grow potatoes in a small trench or in a bucket or container.
We plant our potatoes on the allotment as we have plenty of room there. A UK allotment typically has enough room for potatoes. We are planting our Charlotte and Kestrel potatoes today. These are first early and second early potato varieties. They will both be ready to harvest at a similar time in the early summer. Early potatoes are typically small and getting them in now will give them time to shoot without risk of frost. We will earth up the rows especially if frost is forecast after they emerge above the ground.

Great video. I'm growing my potatoe in tubs this year. Still got to get them in the tubs. That's this weeks job to do.
Potatoes in tubs works really well, good luck 🤞🏻 and keep them watered
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife yeah got to keep on top of the watering. 🌻
Really enjoying your videos as a newbie to growing vegetables and flowers on my allotment I`m finding these really informative.
Excellent, we are glad they help. We hope you have a good year and that you can encourage others to grow a bit too.
Thankyou for reply I will do as you suggest Thankyou for taking time to help me I’m very grateful to you
Excellent, good luck and keep us informed as you progress
like your video today as i was putting my potatoes in today i mound them up thats my exercise for today as you say allotment holders dont need to go to the gym agree as i was tired when i had finnished for the day have a nice day
Well done, it is good exercise having an allotment or veg patch.
Nice to see them done the trench way only thing I do different is I add grass clippings in the trench as that eliminates potato scab
Good tip, we didn’t know that one. Thank you 🙏
👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I've been growing spuds for years, and it's always interesting to see how other gardeners grow theirs. There is so much to see on CZcams, and I'm still learning after all this time. A few years back, I started growing them in tubs to great success, and now this year, I'm planting all of them in 40 tubs. Six different varieties. My favourite main crop is 'Setanta' and 'Royal'. Your soil is amazingly stone free, but is it clay or loam?
It looks quite a dark brown colour compared to mine.
Great to hear that you as re growing so many varieties. That is a benefit of growing your own.
Our soil is clay but we produce our own compost to help break it up. It gets a little better each year.
Have a great year!
Nice vid
Thank you

Good luck and continued success
Good luck, great video
Thank you 🙏
🥰love it🥰
Thank you 😊
So you just planted first earlies there so where do you put your second earliest and main crop, all new to this, I'm putting in first earliest in on Monday, (lady christl).
My first attempt.
Thank you for your advice.
I put them in between March and mid-April so if you’ve still got some to plant best get them in soon / I plant my early pots first, then second early pots and then main crop over a period of weeks / mine are all in now / good luck 🤞 am sure you’ll get a bumper crop / I’ve grown lady Christl in the past and they are very nice
I live in Scotland would like to grow potatoes,can I plant them now even though we get frosts still .?
We are in Kent so our timings will be different. Wait until frosts are less likely as when the shoots appear above ground a frost will kill them off. Mounding them up if a late frost is due could help.
