I`ve planted sprouted potatoes in winter here in zone 8a central Louisiana. Freezes killed the stems/leaves but they re-grew. By February I had mini potatoes and some larger ones. The ones I planted were about to rot. My experiment worked though. I planted dry beans from a food pantry years ago and cooked the whole bean pods. I have no car so if I want fresh food I have to grow it. I have indoor and outdoor food growing right now. I have a MASSIVE mustard and turnip greens harvest right now. I`ve never seen mustard leaves this big...some are three feet long. Grown organically.

I watch a lot of different garden, farming, and homesteading channels on KZread, most of them for inspiration. Your channel is one of the ones i watch for techniques and knowledge.

Thank you. Probably the best video with all the information I need about planting potatoes.

Thank you!! A wonderful, easy to do, explanation!

Thanks for this video! Much appreciated information. 🙏

Real useful advice

Getting ready to plant mine in 5a! Great videos, Thank You!

These vids are great - very helpful and simple etc. Loving it. Thanks.

Love your videos. Thank you

Thanks for your explanations.

Thank you so much for the great videos your awesome for taking the time to share your knowledge

My Mexican neighbor yelled at me once , "Your dog eez 'chitting on my grass!" I'm a crappy neighbor apparently 😂

Thank you so much for such a wonderful explanation of early, mid & late potatoes.

Thankyou! Finally a clear explanation of when to plant potatoes.

This is my first time watching your video. You answered my potato questions in the first two minutes. Thank you. ❤ Another gardener that I've watched before likes to hear himself talk. By the time he gets to the point, I'm lost, dazed, and confused. Thank you for educating us without confusing us. 😊❤

Thank you! I’ve watched a couple of videos and read several sets of instructions and yours is the simplest to understand. I appreciate that!

Thanks very informative

hallalujuh !!! proper logic at last...thank you

We finally got all our potatoes planted out . We got 3 different ways we planted in wood chips , half composted leaf and grass clippings and in just soil . I guess we will see what does the best in the end . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !

Helpful tip: if you do have a potato that gets exposed to sun and turns green it's still good for a seed potato. Just don't eat the green potatoes but any grown from the green potatoes are just fine to eat.

This is my first time planting potatoes I'm useing the bags I live in pittsburgh pa I picked up the seeds today crossing my fingers

thats right my friend its best to begin growing the calories now!!... potatoes... sweet potatoes... winter squash... beans... corn... all that can be dried and stored without Refrigeration

Hi love your videos, I hope to find a video where you show yield from massive seed potatoes and small or even select cuts, as I have cut spuds 4 times and grow from them BUT I don't have the best soil right now to see if I am getting more from the complete spuds the larger spuds or the sliced sections. I'm guessing it's irrelevant other than the stored energy to get to the surface and get a jump start. Also it's weird to find the seed potatoes after finishing growing a new load of spuds fell and look 100 ready to eat.... okay not as nice looking as the new one but you know what I mean, have you tried to replant and already seeded potatoes? Or even eat one? Cheers

I'm here refreshing my memory.

Hi I like your presentation. I wanted to say though I am pretty sure potatoes have adventitious rooting and that is one reason for buryingbthem deeply and that spuds may grow out of any layering of the burried plant material although they might not be so large and might simply be tiny and numerous. Also when a potato is divided for planting it needs to be set out to ' suberize' that is dry down and develop a skin over the wound to attempt to stave off disease. In my experience cut potato plantings are more susceptible to disease and give a smaller plant structure and lesser yield.

I once planted potatoes on a river bank. Nothing but sand. Months later , i dug em. They had little sand indents all over & Very tough hides. I ate em 😋...

Back in the late 50-s I would help my dad plant potatoes, One potato could do 5 plants - and we did plant thousands of spuds for trade for meat and other goods... Carrots thousands - we ate a lot of stew... hahahha .. we would put a silver 25 cent piece (80 +%) in our milk to make it last longer, seem to work... Had no fridge.... no TV, was not available for at least 20 years... A wise man once said. -- "The Times They Are A Changing"

Can you hold onto ones you haven’t planted yet or do they have to be used in one season? Thanks

Thank you for great teaching and answering a previous question! You inspired me with the bag potato video and then another potato guy came through my feed and he said to get “seed” potatoes online! He said the plants won’t be healthy if you don’t. 🤷‍♀️Now this video from you confirms that is not true. Since I don’t have a clue what I’m doing yet, it’s confusing at times as you try to learn.

Noob here.. so would you save potatoes all winter to grow for the next season? And do you have to start growing those tubes off them before putting them in the ground? If so when to do you start and how? Sorry for all the questions thanks in advance

Can i put them in a box like that under my grow lights to do the chitting process? I know idealy sunny warm....but again lol MI. Thank you.

Thank you, great video first time planning potatoes in a few buckets

If there s one side to spoil with good soil for the potatoes to grow. Is it under the potatoe seeds, or over? From where will the seed get its vitamines? Do i need to leave food scraps on the base[+soil] To provide fertiliser element? I ve just had my 1st early potato harvest I had: 1:3. Or 1: 4 in ratio Is that good? We live in uk wales Terrible rainy weather All in pots I thought r=they would have been soaking wet. No, in fact they were quite in dry soil/ moist soil! Beautiful , they were , but i thought i]there could have been more time left to let them grow…100days

Question- I planted too close to oncoming 1st frost, now in NJ. (learned from you) So- should I just TRY to see what might happen? Can I cover over top of bag with another black bag, just take off during nice day temp.? Trial & errors ......

the woody bits themselves won't be a problem but if the bag is filled with compost that is only partially finished and wood based then you may run into nutrient availability issues... be sure to use plenty of liquid nutrients such as any of the various fertilizers on this channel

My potatoes have giant sprouts - I kept them in a wine fridge trying to keep them from doing that . . .

Is you don’t notice a difference in yield (assuming you mean yield on a per plant basis), help me understand why you wouldn’t cut the potatoes to get more plants?

because IME a cut potato is many times more likely to simply rot in the ground compared to the whole potato which almost never rots and always produces

What's your favorite early season potatoes?

How deep?

ALL late season potatoes set potatoes in several layers. Only early season potatoes set on a single layer

I've seen on other videos that you bly want two eyes per potato you are to cut the others off

Why is it that every other video I watch on this topic says to do the complete oppose thing?!? This one says to chit by putting in a warm sunny place... the last one I watched said literally the exact opposite... keep them in a cool dark place 😂..... ummm??

I picked these two specifically because I thought they had some growth.. but they haven't done anything yet... we will see if anything happens.. thanks.

I was told that the more chits it has, the smaller the growth of the potatoes, true or false.

@gardenlikeaviking

more chits means more vines and more numerous potatoes and yes if potatoes feel crowded they'll grow much smaller... so if big potatoes is your goal then give plenty of room or reduce to 2 chits
