Hi Gary. I harvested my first bags of potatoes yesterday. This year I tried the blue potatoes. The drought has been horrible this year.
We just harvested our first blue potatoes too and they were yummy. I had been afraid of them because of the color, so I've been only doing yukons and reds up to this year. I'm glad I tried them :)
I hope you got some. The drought is impacting so many gardens

Where do people buy blue potatoes?
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I was lucky to get a few. Not as much as last year, where we were lucky with more rain. . I saw that you put out a video planting more in July. I will plant another set of potpotatoes in smart pots. Thanks.
Reno NV last year I got 20lbs blues in 2 - 20 gallon gro bags and reds but blues are it for me
I really really enjoyed this video. I haven't grown potatoes yet, but I very much want to. I'm convinced that the best way for me to start is to do it in containers. Glad there is more than one way to plant. I've seen demonstrations of the "fill-in" way. Maybe I'll try that one day. But I'll be starting out the way you show here. Thank you!
Good luck. Always worth trying.

We harvested our first bag of container potatoes following your tips this week. I could only find small grow bags at first so they went into 5-7lb bags and the rounded small size is perfect! Curing them now, thanks for all the advice!
Glad you got a good harvest

Potash is water soluble. It can be applied in the top of the soil as watering and rain will wash it in.
For phosphorous I use bone meal.
On top of the potatoes I planted leaf lettuce. Lettuce should be done by the time potatoes break the surface.
I will use some Alaska fish fertilizer when needed.
A plain white bed sheet works well too as a shade.
Excellent!

My 90 day mark is this coming Tuesday. I'm excited to dig up my potatoes grown in a garden bed. Last year's attempt in a large container went awry due to bad organic soil, which I think was compromised, so it stunted growth. These plants got huge and green, but I think I only fed them once after planting. I did mix in mushroom compost, raised bed soil, fertilizer, and azomite with the dirt and mulched with straw. But I can guarantee my soil is not as loose as what you just showed. I don't know how you keep the soil so loose.
Reach in and check for potatoes. See how they are. I harvest a lot that way and just let them keep growing. Good luck.

I planted potatoes in April/May and they aren’t ready yet. Really green though and I have some that are about 19” tall. My onions and garlic were really small this year and I’m hoping my potatoes will be growing. I have purchased from you before and I wondered if you will have garlic for sale. I love buying local. I’m in Baltimore county
Love this video. Thank you. As a beginner I am overwhelmed with all the fertilizer, compost, soil. Etc that is needed for different vegetables. I try and buy according to the NPK that is needed but it gets expensive. Anyone have any tips or tricks how to not be overwhelmed with all these products needed?
I agree! It's a lot to remember.
Congrats on starting your garden! Gary has a number of videos for first-time gardeners. Go to the home page on his channel. All the way to the right is the search feature. Just type in "beginner" and choose from the presented videos. Or click the Playlist tab, and select "How to Start, Grow, and Plant Your First Vegetable Garden" and watch all the videos. If it still feels overwhelming, then come back into the comment section of Gary's most recent video, tell him you've watched, and tell him at what point you start to feel overwhelmed. I bet he can guide you through that rough patch. Whatever you do, don't give up! You can do this! I wish you the best of luck!
So its overwhelming but remember they do fine with just compost. Potatoes need this IMO. But youll see there's a learning curve. You can buy any organic fertilizer on sale and use that. Buy 1 dry product and 1 water soluble product. The cheapest. Just use them. Ignore the rest LOL and you will still be fine.

@@kele1264 You're so kind. Thank you for the encouragement. I've watched so many videos stating different things it is confusing. I will take your advice. Thanks again.
One tiny conflict. If one has never eaten a potato fresh from the garden, just grocery store.... it's NOT like a grocery store. Lol. All good, Gary.
I've some chitting potatoes to try using some soil, fertilizer and grass clippings. Maybe a crop by Halloween.
Check.

I was thinking of using a bushel basket (the kind with the wire handles) to plant potatoes. Wondering if this will retain moisture well enough.
You have to stay up on watering but I grow in fabric pots that dry more quickly.

Good evening Gary,
hope you had a great garden day!
My snap peas on my trellis have poweredery mildew on them and what would you suggest ?
I'm in NJ and it's pretty hot up hear and I don't want to burn them up with some spray I know nothing about.
My green Zucchini is doing well and my tomatoes and cucumbers also.
I've been following all summer and my garden is looking great thanks to you, except for 2 out 5 snap peas 😞😓😩.
Garry I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thank you and be well !

Peas now can be tough. Maybe a baking soda spray. I just havent had to deal with that. Sorry

Can you do sweet potatoes the same method? Just plunk the ones with roots in the soil?
Because of one of your videos I planted store bought potatoes. I used the fertilizer you suggested and watered with fish emulsion and my plant is HUGE! How do I know when to harvest?
The green growth will start to die back but you can reach in and feel for potatoes and see how they are doing.

What other vegetables you can think of that would need More Bloom, potash and phosphorus. Backyard newbie gardener in an HOA in Central Florida. Thank you
So in theory at fruiting and flower, it helps all. But I use it only for peppers and potatoes.

Really when the shoot come out or germination for most crops.

Gary, I prepared a plastic tubful of beautiful soil at the end of last year and stored it in the shed on my balcony. When I pulled it out to use it early this summer, there was green mold/algae completely covering the surface. I sprayed the top with vinegar but read later that this would destroy anything I planted in it. Can this soil be used, or do I toss it out? Thanks.
Mold will die off in the sun. Vinegar can increase acidity of soil and cause issue but you need a lot. Sprinkle some lime on the surface and mix it in. That will decrease acidity and just let it dry in the sun and that will kill the mold. You can use it. However if you are using it for potatoes they dont mind more acidity.

Once planted and watered in with fish emulsion. What's a good rounded out fertilizer to use and how often? Thk u
This is really well set up. I will do Morebloom 1 more time. Maybe another water soluble 1 more time. But I would use water soluble Agrotrhrive. Its linked in the video description. I think its a 3-2-2 organic. Specifics are hard to give but you could do AT every 2-3 weeks if you wanted.

Gary, what part of the country do you garden in? I would like to grow potatoes, but in Texas, I have only known to plant them in February/March. It never occurred to me to try to grow them in the late summer/fall. We live in the DFW area of North Texas.
I am in Maryland. I think you can do October planting. I do some in summer here and its hot. I would experiment with a batch October/November

I just “harvested” my purple and Yukon gold. They rotted in the containers and there were none. I’m sure it was me because my friend had some and they are doing wonderful. It’s been consistently 95-100 degrees here. Did they cook?
It is possible they cooked. But most likely just didnt send down roots. Make notes. And try and plant earlier or another round later.

I can’t remember when I planted my potatoes but the leaves are still green some have holes in the leaves, some of them are curling but they’re not brown so do I keep watering? When do you stop watering might be a better question. I did pull up a few reds , various sizes but I know I planted more than one variety
At 70 days you have some nice potatoes but if green, I would keep them going till they yellow out more.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I guess your saying it's a test try it and see what happens or don't lol
Would a 10 10 10 fertilizer work? I already have that
It would. You probably dont need as much as I showed but it works

How do you grow potoes all summer when ive read they stop growing over 80 degrees??? I live i zone 7b???
So there is truth to that. And fields of potatoes wouldnt make sense but in a home garden, you naturally have cooler places, you can use shade cloth and mulch helps. You may not get perfect size but you can get a lot. Granted our temps for highs are upper 80s and 90s. If you are in a place where upper 90s and 100s is your high, it might not be practical.

Yup.
We live a bit west of Waco, and we've had maybe 7 or 8 days in the last 8 weeks that stayed under 100*F (in the shade, on north sidemof our house) . We're supposed to be in the mid 90s right now.
We have cattle panels, covered in shade cloth, over our raised beds, but our garden is suffering. Only zucchini has been doing anything.
Given that Potatoes are still the stable UK vegetable and still pretty cheap. and commonly available...What is the point filling your allotment with them when you know you can get them from the supermarket? Apologies for sounding shallow, but there are many more vegetables you can utilize the space for, that the supermarkets won't offer.....
They may be stable/available now, but who know what next year would bring. I like to plant at least a few potatoes so that I have some to grow from the next year.
That tub is about 17 gallons.
Yep from the big box stores

What if im using good compost for soil? Do i still have to add all the different fertilizers? Those fertilizers are expensive! Not everybody has the cash to use them!
If you have compost you really dont need to add extra. However containers do lose nutrients quickly so I would recommend keeping a water soluble handy and use that regularly.

Van you cut potatoes in half instead of planting whole potatoes?
For the larger ones people do. And then let the dry a few days to scab over. These are tiny. I wouldnt cut them.

Does the greenery get flowers on them. Unfortunately I planted potatoes in May and the information I read did not give me good information. I didn’t give them much in the way of fertilizer because what I read didn’t say too. I guess I’ll see what happens. I read something about the plants getting flowers and I have not seen any flowers. The article said after the flowers die that’s when you harvest.
Spmetimes potatoes will produce flowers and sometimes not.
When the plants start turning color and flopping over, that's when they let you know they are ready. Mine produced flowers, but I pinched them off because the Irish potato expert advises to do that so energy will focus on the plant.
@@joanies6778 thank you. This is my first time planting potatoes so I’m just learning about them
Sometimes they do but I ignore them. Not worth it as you still get potatoes and many dont flower.

I planted potatoes in the plastic bags dirt comes in as an experiment. Just poured one out to see what was what. It had 2 good size potatoes and 2 tiny ones. I have already also planted a raised bed with some. Just so disappointed in the bags. I will be leaving them in for another month to see but ow well i guess
What did I do wrong? I planted four 100 gallon grow bags with Yukon Gold seed potatoes. I used real good, loose composted soil with manure, sand, perlite, vermiculite, 10-10-10, etc. I gave doses of bone meal and potass every 3 weeks. Growth was green and beautiful, I dusted the soil with diatomaceous earth(food grade) once a month. No bugs, no problems, until harvest. 8 seed potatoes per growbag and not a single potato to harvest!!!!! No seed potato carcasses either!! Please tell me what I did wrong! I harvested at 85 days.
I dont know. Fully dug out and not 1 potatoes is a mystery. It possible they were eaten but I just dont know. Especially with all the growth you describe.
Can I grown them in a apartment in Florida so air conditioning all the time??
Google the soil temperature that they need to begin to grow and make sure it's at least that temperature or heated up in a window.
@@breesechick thank you so much
@@Oakie222 You're welcome 😁
I dont know to be honest.

Why is morbloom so watery compared to fish emulsion?
FE is pulverized rotted fish. Morebloom doesn't have nitrogen and is based on other methods to get the P and K. So it is just different.

where do i get potatoes to plant
This were from Costco as eating potatoes. You can typically buy seed potatoes in the spring but not sure where to get them now. So I use organic potatoes from the store.

I gave been harvesting my container potatoes the last two weeks and they are all small. Sone containers had no potatoes at all. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I'm so sorry for you. It happened to me as well, but I think I know what happened to me. I did not water enough and missed to fertilize in the right way. It's my first year growing potatoes, so I'm on my learning curve. I will take some of my few harvested potatoes and put them in again ... now I will take care 🙂
Watering more often is key and they really need to be fertilized up.

Can I start sweet potatoes now. I'm in south west pa.
Mod t sweet potatoes need 100 to 120 days. Even in pa you are pushing it.
I meant “most’. Also regular potatoes and sweet potatoes are two different things. For sweet potatoes you plant a ‘ slip’ which is a plant. For regular potatoes, you plant the potatoe with eyes.
@@mdevery8894 I just put sweet potatoes from the store in the dirt and they're growing. That was about a month ago.
You missed that window but the leaves are edible. They really need 100+ days.

Mine always rot , not sure what I’m doing wrong 😑
Well better draining soil might help. Chitted or sprouted can help. Also if you are doing spring planting, waiting till its a little warmer can help. Water less to start, until green shows. Good luck.

I plant potatoes in pots but never get any crop
Key is consistent watering. Dont over nitrogen them once they start growing
