Thank you for sharing.
Love these videos you guys are doing. I learn something every time I watch one thank you so much!
Do you eventually fill the bags as the vines grow?
Thank you! As a newbie, this video was very helpful especially as I intend on using the bags.
I have been using your seed potatoes for a few years now. I love all the different varieties I have planted. Potatoes are SO easy to grow!
Satisfying
Be good to know what’s in the fertilizer – mostly rock dust, apparently
Great video
So informative! I didn't know about those paint pens! Picked up a couple other tips as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great video! Please show a fall planting video for zone 6B/7A. I love your products!
Please update us on the progress of the growth of these potatoes. I bought anirondack seed potato from you. They were planted on April12th and are still growing, I have found a couple marble size potatoes so I think it will be awhile before they are ready to harvest. Thanks for sharing.
Do you come back and add more soil/compost after they emerge? Please make a follow-up video on how it goes from here (sorry, I'm a newbie). Thanks!
Good video! I tried growing (your) potatoes last year in grow bags. It was my first time growing potatoes. I think it went pretty well…but I got overwhelmed with other things in the garden and I think I harvested them waaay too late. I read something that said I shouldn’t eat a potato that had started to sprout.
Anyway, here’s the question: once the potatoes grow leave, I should cover the bottom few leaves with soil or straw, right? What do you use? If straw, is the “weedless” straw ok? Or does weedless necessarily mean the straw has been treated with an herbicide?
Thanks for your help!
Thank you for this. I live in idaho do i still have time to plant the pinj blush
Thanks I've been growing your Red Norland and Prarie Blush in this kind of container for 3 years and they work excellently.
Jim, can you do a similar video on planting a field row?
Do you do your own tissue culture? The District has a tissue culture lab and I would work with you to grow your own.
