There is nothing like those little new spuds cooked with mint, slathered in butter, salt and pepper! Congrats you two.

Aww YES! Broad Bean aren’t quite ready here yet though … they will be when we harvest our outdoor new potatoes though 😁 happy gardening my lovely xxx ✌️🌿

Thanks for the video, harvest early potatoes as much as you need for your meal. The rest will then give even more yield and every time you harvest the potatoes will continue to give their freshly harvested taste.

Hi Boer ... this is a really good tip for our outdoor or pot grown potatoes - thank you ... These ones grown in our polytunnel, we needed to harvest them all, as we needed the space back to get the summer crops in there this week - its been a great early treat though - we are enjoying delicious new potatoes everyday right now to get them used whilst still delicious and fresh - thanks for watching & for your comment 💚✌️🌿

The potato green house is good ma'am, the result is also good and satisfying❤

Glad you enjoyed - we really are so grateful to have these amazing growing spaces - still learning how we can best use them - these potatoes are defo a hit ... we will do more next year 😋 💚✌️🌿

Good vid just harvested some of mine today 👍3 best tips with potatoes of all seasons , 1.. Never harvest before potato plants flower 2.. Pick off all flowers as flowers use lots of energy that is taken away from potato growth.. 3 for full size potatoes let your plants start to die off before harvesting .... An extra tip for you if you eat banana's chop the skins into small bits and bury around the potato plant the potassium will increase yield and potato size it also improves soil , Thanks keep going 👍

I always got too eager and harvested potatoes too early!! I have since learnt patience...and have now mastered the art of waiting to the leaves have truly died back!! It's hard to do I know...but its worth it for the bigger potatoes!! Nice haul though!!

These potatoes were destined to come out in mid May no matter, as we needed the space back for planting up tomatoes - we leave our main crop potatoes in until the leaves die back for sure 👍 great advice 🙏 I do like our new potatoes to be a bit smaller though, I really like when I can keep the smaller ones whole when Boiling them up and biting into a whole little potatoes 😋 It is good to have a few bigger ones though of course to make sure you get a good yield - thanks for watching 💚✌️🌿

Fantastic harvest guy's 👏🎉 I have my Charlotte's in the ground outside, so not ready yet but fingers crossed for June🌍💚🌱

With you all the way on this. I’ve been growing swift in my polytunnel for the last few years now. This year I planted mine on the 16th Feb after chitting them. As the soil in the poly is dry at that time of the year I give the ground a good soak before planting and make sure to mulch well. Regular watering is essential. I started harvesting mine this week by feeling around the base of different plants and taking some of the larger ones and no more than I need for the day. They come out of the ground so clean, no blemishes and need no more than a quick rinse under the tap. Had some this evening, absolutely delicious. Only potential issues with growing them like this are frost protection, watering and space available although they can be lifted early to make room for summer crops.

Hi nick, such a treated aren’t they! 😋🙏💚 we had to lift them all because we were ready to get all the summer crops into the polytunnel - our outside earlies will defo be per plant to savoury the freshness and let what we don’t need right then keep growing for sure! Great idea 👍✌️🌿

rocket are fairly tasteless maris bard are much better plus high yielding
