It's time to harvest our container grown potatoes at the allotment garden! We've been patiently waiting since April to harvest our Java, Setanta, Cara, and blue (yes blue!) potatoes, named 'Blue Annelise'. These potatoes are main crop varieties, and they are all blight resistant except for the Blue Annelise. That hasn't stopped the blight from wiping them out this summer, though! More on that in the video...
As well as harvesting our first few buckets, I'll be telling you in a nutshell, just how I grew these potatoes. They didn't do quite as well as they could have done this year, so I'll be explaining what I think didn't go well and how we can try and make sure we don't have the same problems again next year.
Do you grow potatoes in your garden or allotment? Which varieties do you grow? How do you grow them? In ground, or in buckets like I do? Do you have problems with pest or disease?
Let me know in the comments! I'd love to know your tips & advice, and hear your experiences!
I hope you found this video useful and learnt something about growing potatoes!

Hi jim you could bury the pot so the holes are covered by soil, itll help with moisture retention, the roots can grow into the soil and it will stop the slugs getting in the bottom. 👍😀🥔

Never grown blue potatoes but those harvests are better than nothing. Here’s to next seasons issues being small and manageable Jim and mom, Ali 🌧️🇨🇦

Hi Jim, I would have been very happy with that harvest of potatoes, every year there is always something that causes issues. In Southern California we grow potatoes during our winter months and it’s either too much rain or not enough, it’s always a juggling act. Happy Gardening 🧑‍🌾.

Hi Jim. Nice harvest considering you got hit with blight. I certainly found my blight hit pots gave a poor yield too. Take care. Mags

Hi Jim, I grew the same three main crop this year (bundle from a well-known supplier) and had the same problem with blight on the setanta - I won’t be growing them again on my plot. The other two, adjacent in the same bed, so subject to the same conditions, were fine and lived up to the ‘blight resistant’ label. Yield for the setanta, 25 seed potatoes planted, was only 30.8kg, so below my expectations of 1.5 - 2kg per spud sown. I did remember to water them all though 😂

Great video. Thank you. If you lay a piece of mesh in the bottom of your buckets it will stop the slugs gtting in to your crops. Hope that helps. Happy gardening 🙂

Hi Jim, some good tips for growing potatoes. Thankyou! Mine where just ok this year. How do you store potatoes that you will use as seed potatoes next year? Cheers Pete 👍

I thought my second earlies, were a bit dense, soil wise, so I added some sand to the ones I’ve put in for Christmas, it’ll be interesting to see how they come out. The blue ones look like a fun idea, be interested to hear how they taste. 🥔👍

Hi Jim, when do I start to grow potatoes? I would like to try next year. Also where did you get your buckets from? And do you think buckets are a good idea for potatoes. Thanks sorry to ask so many questions. Happy gardening.😊

Hi Jim, purple potatoes need to be harvested when the shoots die and the skins are thin, in my experience. They're like a new potato not a peeler.
