Hi everyone! It's finally time! For my first 2023 Winter potato crop reveal! 😃🥔
My biggest & best potato harvest to date! I harvested a total of 42KG/92LBS from 31 potato plants!(1.3KG average per plant!) 🤩 Plus also grew 2 MONSTER potatoes! A Royal Blue at 0.849KG/1.871LBS & a Pontiac at 0.740KG/1.631LBS! Wow!!! 😃🤩😍
These have been growing for 120 days, which is the longest any of my potatoes have ever lived for(some died off between 90-110 days tho) & i was lucky July(middle of Winter in Australia) didn't give me any hard frost, although we had random semi-hard frost for a few days in June which is not normal! A few of the potatoes in the right side of the yard(garden beds) got hit with a little frost damage, but the rest were unaffected and i was able to protect them for the remaining frosty June days with some newly bought frost covers, phew! 😅 I'm extremely happy with this harvest(If i don't seem like it on video, i'm still shy to speak, your boy still gotta get used to it 😂) i think i can finally join the big league of potato growers on RU-vid now, haha! 😂😃
Varieties i planted: King Edward, Salad Rose, Royal Blue, Sapphire, Ruby Lou, Pontiac & White Star!
So there was a few things that was gonna change after this harvest was,
1: If the Sapphire was gonna perform poorly(1 did but it had an issue) i would stop growing it despite it being a unique dark purple/black potato with purple flesh, but 1 plant produced 2kg which shows it's capable of competing/matching with the rest of the high yielding varieties! 😂🙂
2: Although Ruby Lou(store-bought potato) did well for my 'How to grow potatoes video', it has a history of producing poorly for me, so it was 50/50 for me & if it was to produce poorly again at 120 days, i might of let it go, but it seems it produced some pretty large potatoes! 😮😃
So both varieties are staying 😂👍
But wait! It's not over yet for my 2023 Winter potato crops, i still have 2 remaining plants, my big Pontiac in a large mulch bag & my big King Edward in the square garden bed! 🙂 These 2 will have their own harvest video, i'm hoping they can make it to 150 days & that i can possible get a yield of 4kg from both of them, it is possible since they're my largest & now longest living plants, haha! 😃
My other upcoming potato harvests for 2023 will be:
🥔 Delaware(should be ready in 30-60 days, currently 60 days old!)
🥔 1 large pot with, Red Rascal, Ruby Lou, Royal Blue(& 2 others but idk if they will establish properly anymore at this point 😂) Will be ready in 60-90 days(About to be 30 days old!)
🥔 Sebago, which should be ready in 60-70 days once they sprout next week(for my soil comparison videos!)
🥔 Pink Eye, which will probably be in the ground this week or the next! Also a 1st early like Sebago, so that will only take 60-70+ days!
That should be it for the potatoes in 2023, i think it will be too late for any of these to sprout in time to plant in 2023, so they will go in the ground for 2024! 🙂
