Timestamps. Somewhere at the midpoint of potato growth it is good to ‘trellis’ or tie up the geen leafy growth. This is the point where all my potatoes get a nice water-soluble feeding. When potatoes get larger they require a lot of water.

Thank you! My potatoes look great!
Grown potatoes for years never tied them and get huge potatoes. But I guess I get it if they are in bags. I usually want mine overgrown so there aren't any weeds
Love your posts.
always love your garden tours and advice. Just joined the channel finally. Should have last year and I have learned some lessons.:)
Is there anything I can still grow, starting now???
You often plant potatoes in waves when is the latest youve planted them and still had a harvest?
I like the idea of the 100-gallon grow bag for potatoes!!! I just ordered one!!
Thank you, Gary!!🎉😊
Great timing, thank you! Do you recommend the 333 Agrothrive or the 335? Right now I have Alaskan Fish Fertilizer and Miracle-Gro
I live for your updates as a new gardener in DC
1:27 not sure how watering my peppers more often helps my potatoes, but will give it a try 😂❤
Gary, when do you plant your potatoes? I'm in Pa. and behind, I have been setting on mine so to speak for a month or so. I picked up 3 different kinds at tractor supply
Your videos are really informative, that’s why I have subscribed to your channel. I have harvested my potatoes already as I am in zone 9b. I did a lot of my care based on your previous videos and I had a great harvest from all my grow bags the sizes where larger and more in numbers than any other years. Thanks for all the great information especially about fertilizing during the growth of the plants.
Really good video!!
Thank you for sacrificing those immature plants! Now we can see exactly how they grow underground!
I thought one of my containers was ready cause it was drooping. I harvested it it was bone dry and only pea sized potatoes so the rest of my potatoes got a thorough watering cause they ended up being dry too.
@therustedgarden you said about June your potatos would be ready…how long have they been growing? When did you plant them? ..Thanks!
My potatoes are only about a foot tall & starting to flower already. The bed isn't full at all of potato leaves. What am I doing wrong?
