- Learn the signs that your little spuds are ready to be pulled up. I've got potato plants at different stages of maturity, so you can see the difference between a plant that needs a couple more weeks and a plant that's ready to be harvested.

Neat, neat, neat. I love a plant that tells me 'pick me' so clearly lol. This is my 1st year experimenting with potatoes, and they are amazing! Basically, right when I gave up on them was when those leaves poked thru and took off! Maybe I'll get another bucket and soil next month and start a new batch for fall!
Awesome information! This is my first foray into growing potatoes and I noticed within the past week that the stems are leaning and the leaves are not as peppy so I figured it maybe was about time to dig them because it wasn't due to lack of water. Knowing that another two weeks when they look like that is very clarifying and also to cut down on the water as I was still watering - I actually literally just watered it 😬
My first year of gardening on my own. This answered a lot of my questions and also showed me the results. TY
Same here!!
this was very helpful! Last year I had dead foliage, but the potatoes had not grown very big- but I cooked them up anyhow! This is a great teaching video- Thank you!
Were the leaves and stalks gone yellow? That's how mine are now
I hope you will continue to show us your traditional cooking. It’s better than watching all those world famous chefs . Also your traditional attire and lifestyle are so wholesome , healthy and peaceful. It’s very soothing watching your videos . And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Your garden is beautiful nice potatoes.👍🙏
Super helpful. Excellent video
You are arm goals! Stunning
Thank you! Gardening is a great workout!
Thank you for teaching me.
Thank you for the video. I have taken up gardening again. This is the first year since the 1990s. This is the first time for me growing potatoes. So this was very informative. What type of purple potatoes are you growing there? I noticed that there are several different types online. God bless you and your family. Duane.
Hi there, I believe they're purple majesties. I've got some more of our favorite types to grow here: www.gardenary.com/blog/6-easy-steps-to-grow-organic-potatoes
Good luck with your potatoes!
@@Gardenary thank you. My potatoes are coming up pretty good from what I can see above ground. So hopefully they will do well. I really appreciate you getting back to me. I’m going to check out some of the purple potatoes like you grow. God bless you and your family. Duane.

Thank you.
Helpful video❤
First time gardener here. Some things I know, but for the most part - I'm learning a tremendous amount as I go, so..... I have a question that I keep asking, & have even resorted to doing searches on, but I canNOT get a straight answer. Could you please answer this question that I have?
I know that when you plant potatoes, you have to keep adding dirt to the tops {mounding} of them. What I do NOT know, however, is WHEN do you STOP adding that dirt? I sure hope you can answer this for me once, & for all. I would so appreciate it.
Thank you!!!
I would hill compost around them a couple times and definitely anytime you see a little tuber poking up. Then just let them do their thing. Make sure to stop watering when the leaves turn yellow in anticipation of harvesting.
@@Gardenary Thank you. SO very helpful!!!
Brilliant
Beautiful garden ❤
When the potato plants start turning do you continue to water?
You'll cut way back so they can harden their skins
Also a first time gardener here - does the same go for sweet potatoes?
Yellowing leaves are also a sign for sweet potatoes, but you'll harvest a little differently. Here's more info: www.gardenary.com/blog/how-to-grow-sweet-potatoes-in-an-organic-kitchen-garden
So do you put the old roots in the dirt back into the barrel and then put in some more potato sprouts to come up again in the fall?
Love the video. Do you compost the potato plants that are dead?
You can as long as there are no signs of pests or disease
At what height were your seed potatoes planted, relative to the barrel? Trying to place the produce and the seed from a vertical cross section.
My potatoes have flowered twice!
Does this apply to earlies, or only main crops? My first earlies are flowering, but tubers are still tiny
Does anybody know if it would make any difference to harvest a potato during the full moon or after??
If the plants are still green after you pull them up, can you replant them or you just have to replant potatoes again next year ?
Digging up potatoes can shock the plant, so it might not regrow for this year. I'd enjoy the potatoes as "new potatoes" and then replant next year
when to stop water before harvest?
When the leaves start turning brown
@@Gardenary thank you
When the Plants start dying.
Exactly. 6 minute video summed up in 2 seconds
Have u ever tried growing potatoes in wood chips?
It works great and i top off more chips like at a month then 2 or 3 weeks after that. Its crazy how many potatoes grow. And digging them up is so easy. I use hands. The woodchips break down and u and more. And it creates and great environment to grow. I planted sweet potatoes and 3 tomatoe plants in chips this year. I have so many vines with the sweets i think they could be doing good. The tomatoe plants r doing pretty good. And 1 is doing great.
Next year i think im going to plant 80 percent of everything in chips. I get them from my city for free. They give citizens as much as u can come get. They chip up dead trees or damaged trees. Also this isnt my idea. A man from England. Hes a Muslim man. Does this for years and i follow what he says in his videos. Sorry cant remember his name.
How about sweet potatoes? What should I be looking for?
We'll try to do a sweet potato video soon! Look for yellowing leaves
😎❤️👍
Your hands are deep in there😂
😍🥔🥔🥔
Is July to late to plant potato's?
It depends on where you live! If you're in a warm climate like Texas, you've got time. You might do early varieties or ones that don't need 100+ days to grow
@@Gardenary aww to late in south Wales then.
they will tell you,,my potatoes let me know,,just like yours
You are avery nice potato girl. 😍
Huh?
WHY is she beating and rough housing these plantz. This is a violent plant person. I know she doesn't talk to her plants at all.
And you made a video on that, you must think very little of people who grow their own, You can start lifting or robbing them as we pro's say as soon as they flower and if you wait for the leaves nearest the ground to start turning yellow then there is plenty there to pick. Jesus what a waist of your time try to tell people that.
Your so ripped
The first potato looks like it has Potato Blight. Potatoes are READY when the flowers drop, nothing to do with the leaves.
Not all varieties flower. Mine never flower and I harvest when foliage dies.
This is my third year planting spuds and none of mine ever flowered.
Never had flowers, harvest when leaves are dropping
I have had lots of flowers from my potatoes! They are very beautiful. ❤
@@susannewinslow5717 this is my third year and mine are flowing. Yes Thawte very beautiful
Whining voice
You talk to much, i am bored listening to you, get on with it
What is wrong with you?
Thank you 🙏 😊
Thank you
