MY FIRST Potato Harvest of 2024!
This is my fourth? fifth year of growing Potato. Each year, I add to the Fabric Grow Bags that I use for my potato harvests. Each bag is a 25 gallon (95 liter) fabric container, that's perfect in size for my growing. I typically plant 3 or 4 seed potato (and sometimes I screw up and add a 5th!)
I try to perfect my technique, and g4t a little better each year. I start with 1/3 sphagnum peat, 1/3 compost from my compost pile, and 1/3 soil from last year's bags. I add in some granular Blood Meal, Bone Meal, and other macro and micro nutrient fertilizers.
Are you growing Any potato?
I plant around March 17th, St. Patric's Day, each spring. Or close enough. and I harvest about 100 days later. I immediately replant for a second harvest, later in Oct/early Nov.
This year, I am growing Adirondack Blue, Dark Red Norland, and Yukon Gold.

Nice looking smashed potatoes and chicken meal 🙂 no potatoes for me in the garden. Do you ever cut up the seed potatoes? I thought you could cut them into sections with one or two eyes each.
This was really interesting to read and to watch. I love your vegetable garden. We only have a smallish balcony so no potatoes for us. But I love the way you plant everything in these big bags. That's really neat. I guess it's too late for this year but I'll have to see and ponder if we can make something possible for next year. Although, watering will be an issue when we're traveling, hmm...
Having a variety of potatoes is a great idea, as each has their own charm.
Your "Dirty Smashed" recipe sounds yummy! 😋
